*******Call for Papers - Submission deadline 25 July 2008 **********

1st International Workshop on High Performance Data Grid (HPDataGrid'08)

held in conjunction with

9th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Applications and Technologies (PDCAT'08) 1-4 December 2008 - Dunedin, New Zealand

Workshop website: http://grelc.unile.it/HPDataGrid08

Call for Papers Grids encourage and promote the publication, analysis, processing, sharing, integration of scientific data, distributed across Virtual Organizations. Scientists and researchers (climatologists, bioinformatics, astrophysics, financial experts, etc.) work on huge, complex, heterogeneous and continuosly growing datasets. The complexity of data management within a grid environment comes from the distribution, heterogeneity and number of data sources. Grids are characterized with high heterogeneity, high autonomy and large-scale distribution of computing and data resources. Accessing and managing efficiently a large number of heterogeneous and widespread data resources (concerning both files and databases) in a grid environment is an open problem. Grids may have different requirements with respect to autonomy, query management, efficient delivery mechanisms, quality of service, scalability, flexibility, security, etc. Important issues must be faced, ranging from distributed grid database management, extensions of distributed and parallel computing techniques to more decentralized, self-adaptive techniques such as Peer-to-peer (P2P), data grid for e-Science applications, high performance data delivery/replication/access, etc. The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and scientists from the high-performance data management, scientific computing, storage systems, distributed systems, database communities, e-Science domains (data-oriented), etc. to discuss and share the challenges concerning the high-performance data management in a Grid environments. In particular, this workshop aims at offering a high level forum for exchanging information, ideas, techniques and software on how to progress in this rapidly evolving field, in order to support the advance in scientific research education as well as industrial applications. Topics of Interest They include, but are not limited to;

* Data Grid Architectures / Infrastructures * Data Grids for e-Science * Data-intensive Grid Applications * Data Grid, Web Services and P2P * WSRF-based Data Grid Services * Grid Database Access, Management and Integration Services * Parallel Database Management in Grid * Data Security and Privacy * Data Grid Portals * Data Grids and Metadata Management * Grid Data Warehousing and Data Mining * Grid Data Streaming * Grid Storage & High Performance Data Transfer Protocols * Query Processing and Information Retrieval in Grids * Workflow/Dataflow Management in Grids * High Performance Data Movement, Replication and Fault- Tolerance in Grids * Indexing, caching and load balancing in Grids * Grid multimedia data management

Submission procedure Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 10 pages of single column, including tables and figures. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to register, attend the conference, and present the paper. Workshop participants must pay the PDCAT'08 conference registration fee. Each paper will be refereed by at least three independent reviewers. Paper submission indicates the intention of the author to present the paper at the HPDataGrid'08 workshop at PDCAT'08. PDCAT'08 is using the IEEE Conference Publishing Service, so your final version must be in IEEE’s required format (maximum of 6 pages in length). Information can be found on the Information for Authors section on the Conference Publishing Service site. Please submit your paper by e-mail to hpdatagrid08@sara.unile.it (make sure that the subject of the e-mail says "HPDataGrid08 Submission").
