******************* Call for Papers *******************

The 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid 2007, http://www.grid2007.org)

Austin, Texas, USA, September 19-21, 2007

Grid computing is evolving from the sharing of powerful computers for widely distributed applications to service orientation, open standards integration, collaboration, and virtualization. The ongoing development of the Grid as a service-oriented architecture for transparent and reliable distributed computing allows the reuse of existing components and information resources, and the assembly of these components in a flexible self-organizing manner. Hiding the complexity and technical details of the Grid from end users and application developers is going to play a crucial role in the future, for which issues related to security, provenance, automatic recovery, machine-interpretable metadata, QoS and SLA negotiation, etc. will have to be carefully addressed.

The Grid conference series is an annual international meeting with the objective to serve as both, the premier conference presenting best Grid research and as a forum for free exchange of ideas. Grid 2007 will feature invited talks, workshops, tutorials, and refereed paper presentations where new concepts are introduced and explored.

Topics of interest (in no particular order) include, but are not limited to:

* Applications, including eScience and eBusiness Applications * Distributed and Large-Scale Data Access and Management * Computing and Programming Models * Programming Tools and Environments * Distributed Problem Solving * Creation and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations * Information Services * Resource Management, Scheduling, and Runtime Environments * Architectures and Fabrics * Scientific, Industrial and Social Implications * Monitoring, Management and Organization Tools * Middleware and Toolkits * QoS and SLA Negotiation * Grid Economy and Business Models * Autonomic and Utility Computing on Global Grids * Cluster and Grid Integration Issues * Networking and Security * Performance Measurement and Modeling * Metadata, Ontologies, and Provenance

***************** Technical Papers *****************

Grid 2007 invites authors to submit original papers. Papers should be no more than 8 pages in length and be submitted as a PDF file. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. A separate conference proceedings will be published and will also be a part of the IEEE Xplore and the CS digital library. For detailed submission information, please see Grid2007 website (www.grid2007.org).

From more information, please contact Program Chair: Thomas Fahringer

********** Workshops **********

Grid 2007 will also host a small number of high quality workshops on September 19th. Workshops are intended to provide a forum for the discussion of a specific topic from the field of Grid computing. Full day workshops should have at least 10 papers, half day workshops at least six papers. The workshop organizer will be responsible for advertising the workshop, reviewing and selecting the papers, and for publishing proceedings. There will be a separate workshop fee for each workshop participant which will be determined by the conference organizers. It will cover the room rate and coffee breaks. Proposals to organize workshops should include the following information: Workshop title, name, affiliation, mailing and e-mail address of the proposer(s),names of at least three PC members, a description of the topic of the workshop plus a short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors, a description of the organization, e.g., schedule, reviewing, publisher of the proceedings and a brief introduction of the proposer, explaining his/her qualifications.

Proposals in PDF format should be submitted to the Workshops Chair: Michael Gerndt (gerndt@in.tum.de).

********** Tutorials **********

Grid 2007 will also host a small number of high quality tutorials on September 19th. Tutorial proposals have to include title, presenter(s), abstract (300 words), duration (harf-day or full-day), detailed description (maximum of 3 pages), short vita of presenters (1 pages), intended audience, assumed background of attendees, relevance to Grid2007 (300 words). Each tutorial presenter will be provided with free registration to the conference, and also provided an honorarium.

Proposals in PDF format should be sent to the Tutorials Chair: Omer F. Rana (o.f.rana@cs.cardiff.ac.uk).
