Call for Papers: Grid 2005 - 6th IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Grid Computing (held in conjunction with SC05) November 13-14, 2005, Seattle, Washington, USA http://pat.jpl.nasa.gov/public/grid2005/ http://www.gridcomputing.org/ ******************************************************************* 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. Grid 2005 topics of interest (in no particular order) include, but are not limited to: * Internet-based Computing Models * Grid Applications, including eScience and eBusiness Applications * Data Grids, including Distributed Data Access and Management * Grid Middleware and Toolkits * Grid Monitoring, Management and Organization Tools * Resource Management and Scheduling * Networking * Virtual Instrumentation * Grid Object Metadata and Schemas * Creation and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations * Grid Architectures and Fabrics * Grid Information Services * Grid Security Issues * Programming Models, Tools, and Environments * Grid Economy * Autonomic and Utility Computing on Global Grids * Performance Evaluation and Modeling * Cluster and Grid Integration Issues * Scientific, Industrial and Social Implications ******************************************************************* Important Dates 3 June 2005 Full paper submission due 6 June 2005 Last date for full paper updates before reviews 29 July 2005 Acceptance notification 19 August 2005 Camera-ready copy due 13-14 November 2005 Workshop 27 January 2006 Extended versions of best 6-8 papers due Fall 2006 Grid 2005 special issue of IJHPCN (Issue 3 of 2006) to appear ******************************************************************* Paper Submission and Publication Grid 2005 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work (also not submitted elsewhere for review) reporting solid and innovative results in any aspect of grid computing and its applications. Papers should not exceed 8 single-spaced pages of text using 10-point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch paper (see IEEE author instructions at http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm). All bibliographical references, tables, and figures must be included in these 8 pages.Submissions that exceed the 8-page limit will not be reviewed. Authors should submit a PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Electronic submission is required, through the site: http://www.sc-submissions.org/ Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Proceedings: All papers selected for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be published as a separate proceedings. After the event, the papers will be published in IEEE Xplore and in the CS digital library. Special Issue: The best 6 to 8 papers from the workshop will be selected for journal length extension and their publication in a special issue of International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking (IJHPCN). The special issue is expected to be published in Fall 2006 as issue 3 of 2006. ******************************************************************* Conference Organization General Chair: Wolfgang Gentzsch, MCNC, USA Program Chair: Daniel S.
