Grid2006: The next event in the GridXY series will be the Grid 2006 conference in Barcelona, September 28-29, 2006.

Preliminary Program now available - use "PROGRAM" button above.

General Information

In the last few years, the Grid community has been growing very rapidly and many new technologies and components have been proposed. This, along with the growing popularity of web-based technologies, and the availability of cheap commodity components is changing the way we do computing and business. There are now many ongoing grid projects with research and production-oriented goals.

Grid 2005 is an international meeting that brings together a community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and users involved with the Grid. The objective of Grid 2005 is to serve as a forum to present current and emerging work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field.

The previous events in this series were: Grid 2000, Bangalore, India; Grid 2001, Denver; Grid 2002, Baltimore; Grid 2003, Phoenix; and Grid 2004, Pittsburgh. All of these events have been successful in attracting high quality papers and a wide international participation. Last year's event attracted about 400 registered participants.

The proceedings of the first three workshops were published by Springer-Verlag, and the proceedings of the two most recent workshops were published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. We expect this year's proceedings will join those of the last two years in the IEEE Computer Society's Digital Library.
