The next generation of scientific research and experiments will be carried
out by communities of researchers from organizations that span national
boundaries. These activities will involve geographically distributed and
heterogeneous resources such as computational systems, scientific
instruments, databases, sensors, software components, networks, and people.
Such large-scale and enhanced scientific endeavors, popularly termed as
e-Science, are carried out via collaborations on a global scale.

Grid computing has emerged as one of the key computing paradigms that enable
the creation and management of an Internet-based utility computing
infrastructure, called cyberinfrastructure, for the realization of e-Science
and e-Business at the global level. To harness the potential of e-Science
and Grid computing paradigms, several national and international projects
around the world have been initiated to carry out research and innovation
activities that will transform the goal of e-Science and Grid computing into
a reality.

The e-Science 2007 conference, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society’s
Technical Committee for Scalable Computing (TCSC), is designed to bring
together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities,
developers, and users of e-Science applications and enabling IT technologies.
The conference serves as a forum to present the results of the latest
research and product/tool developments, and highlight related activities from
around the world.

Topics of interest concerning e-Science and Grid computing include, but not
limited to, the following:

* Enabling Technologies: Internet and Web Services
* Collaborative Science Models and Techniques
* Service-Oriented Grid Architectures
* Problem Solving Environments
* Application Development Environments
* Programming Paradigms and Models
* Resource Management and Scheduling
* Grid Economy and Business Models
* Autonomic, Real-Time and Self-Organising Grids
* Virtual Instruments and Data Access Management
* Sensor Networks and Environmental Observatories in e-Science
* Security Challenges
* e-Science & Grid applications in Physics, Biology, Astronomy,
Chemistry, Finance, Engineering, and the Humanities
* Web 2.0 Technology and Services for e-Science

LOCATION
--------

The e-Science 2007 conference is being organized in conjunction with the
Centre for the Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), India. Established
in 1988 by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology
originally to develop the PARAM series of supercomputers, C-DAC has since
diversified to become the premier institute in India researching and
developing advanced computing to the furtherment of science, industry, and
business.

The conference will be held in Bangalore, India. With metropolitan
population of 6.1 million, Bangalore is India's fifth-largest metropolitan
area, and the center of India's information technology industry. It accounts
for around 38% of Indian software exports and is known popularly as the
"Silicon Valley of India" and "Information Technology capital of India". The
recent software boom and globalization has made Bangalore an attractive
off-shore center for many popular IT firms.

The city is also home to a number of pioneering educational institutions.
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is one of the most popular science and
technological research institutes. The Indian Institute of Management at
Bangalore is one of the top Business Schools in India.

In addition to its technological prowess, Bangalore is also known as the
"Garden City of India" because of the large number of gardens and parks. The
most famous of them are the botanical gardens, Lalbagh and Cubbon Park, each
around 240 acres of flora. Lalbagh, meaning the "The Red Garden", was
constructed in 1760 and is known due to its abundance of red roses. Cubbon
Park was built during the British rule in India and wonderfully constructed
public buildings reside amidst this wooded and grassy expanse. The
Bannerghatta National Park, around 13 miles from the city, is a known for the
lion and tiger safari and a nature lover's delight to see the fauna in their
natural habitat.

Another attraction is the Vidhana Soudha, a majestic building comprising of
skillful blending of ancient and modern architectural styles with richly
carved bases and capitals for pillars, deep friezes, Kapotha cornices,
Chaithya arches. This building houses the State Legislature of Karnataka
state and is one of the major visitor attractions of Bangalore. Bangalore
Palace is built similar to the medieval castles in Normandy and England.

TRAVEL
------

Bangalore's HAL Airport (IATA code: BLR) is India's fourth busiest and serves
both domestic and international flights. International airlines such as
Air-India, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Air France provide
convenient direct flights from Bangalore to destinations in Asia and Europe,
such as Chicago, London, Frankfurt, Paris, and Singapore.
