SCOPE
-----

CCGrid 2006 is the sixth in a series of successful international conferences and
for the first time will take place in the heart of South-East Asia �
Singapore.
The conference will be held at Singapore Management University in the centre of
Singapore. The past years have seen tremendous challenges with the convergence
of Web Services and Grid Technology. There have been major initiatives �
internationally as well as locally � within the community that has taken up
these challenges. Grid Technology enables us to make a major change in the
paradigm for conducting our work with the holy grail of �computing on tap�,
which in particular includes collaborative sharing. With this in mind CCGrid
2006
provides researchers and practitioners with an excellent opportunity to share
their research and experience at the cross-roads of Grid Technology. The areas
of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
� Web Services Flow Languages
� Programming Models, Tools & Environments
� Peer-to-Peer computing
� Information Services
� Resource Exchange Architectures
� Grid-based Problem Solving Environments
� Scientific, Engineering and Commercial Grid Applications
� Middleware for Clusters and Grids
� Parallel File Systems & Wide Area File Systems
� Scheduling and Load Balancing
� Performance Evaluation and Modelling
� Resource Management and Scheduling
� Computational Data and Information Grid
� Architectures and Systems
� Grid Economies and Service Architectures

PAPER SUBMISSION
----------------

Authors are invited to submit a full length 8-page paper of double column text
using single spaced 10 pt size type on 8.5�x11� paper, as per IEEE
manuscript
guidelines. Detailed paper submission instructions will be placed on the
conference web-page. It is expected that the proceedings will be published by
the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA, and will be made available online through
the IEEE Digital Library.
