>
> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> CCGrid 2009 is the ninth in a series of successful international
conferences
> and for the first time will take place in China. The conference will
be held at
> Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, which is located along the
coast of
> the East China Sea and the southern banks of the mouth of the Yangtze
River.
>
> Grid Computing started as a generalization of Cluster Computing,
promising to
> deliver large scale levels of parallelism to high-performance
applications by
> crossing administrative boundaries. Currently, Grid technology is
establishing
> the way out of the academic incubator and into industry environments.
The goal
> of CCGrid 2009 is to serve as an international forum for researchers
> and practitioners
> to present their innovative ideas and experiences in the
multi-faceted areas of
> Cluster and Grid computing including emerging areas such as Cloud
Computing.
>
> The areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
>
> * Cluster technologies
> * Grid Architectures and Systems
> * Utility Computing Models for Clusters and Grids
> * Grid Economies and Service Architectures
> * Service Composition and Orchestration
> * Middleware for Clusters and Grids
> * Parallel and Wide-Area File Systems
> * Peer-to-Peer Systems
> * Cloud Computing
> * Community and collaborative computing networks
> * Grid Trust and Security
> * Support for Autonomic Grid Infrastructure
> * Resource Management
> * Scheduling and Load Balancing
> * Programming Models, Tools, and Environments
> * Performance Evaluation and Modeling
> * Grid-based Problem Solving Environments
> * Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications
>
>
> PAPER SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION
>
> Authors are invited to submit a full length 8-page "original"
research paper of
> double column text using single spaced 10 pt size type on 8.5"x11"
paper, as per
> IEEE manuscript guidelines. Paper submission instructions will be
placed on the
> conference web-page. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE
> Computer Society
> Press, USA, and will be made available online through the IEEE
Digital Library.
>
>
> WORKSHOPS
>
> We invite proposals for organising workshops as part of
> CCGrid2009. These special events are expected to be highly
specialiased and
> focused, and all selected papers will be published in the CCGrid2009
> proceedings. Those interested in organising special events, please
contact
> workshops chair.
