7th IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid 14-17 May 2007, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil http://ccgrid07.lncc.br Call for Papers Scope CCGrid 2007 is the seventh in a series of successful international symposia and for the first time will take place in South America - in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Grid Computing started as a generalization of Cluster Computing, promising to deliver unprecedent levels of parallelism to high-performance applications by crossing administrative boundaries. Subsequently, this vision evolved to support on-demand access and composition of any computational service, provided by multiple independent sources. Under this new vision, Clusters gained renewed importance as the "super-servers" of the emerging Grid infrastructure. Meanwhile, the use of computational and data resources in high-performance applications, undertaken over Grid infrastructure, have started to now become a reality. Today we face the huge challenge of making on-demand access to any computational service, the "computing as service" vision, a wide-spread reality. The CCGrid Symposium has been part of this journey, bringing together researchers and practitioners and enabling them to share their insight, results, and experience in the multifaceted areas of Grid and Cluster computing. Selected papers will be invited to a Special Issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience. Topics The areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Grid Architectures and Systems Middleware for Clusters and Grids Grid Architectures and Systems Middleware for Clusters and Grids Resource Management Peer-to-Peer Systems Grid Trust and Security Community networks Scheduling and Load Balancing Parallel and Wide-Area File Systems Grid Economies and Service Architectures Grid Economies and Service Architectures Utility Computing Models for Clusters and Grids Programming Models, Tools, and Environments Performance Evaluation and Modeling Grid-based Problem Solving Environments Service Composition and Orchestration Community and collaborative computing networks Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications Support for Self-Managing/Self-Configuring Grid Infrastructure Authors are invited to submit original papers of 8 pages maximum. Papers should be double column text, using single spaced 10 point size type on Letter(8.5"x11"), and follow the IEEE manuscript guidelines. Submission is on-line only at the symposium web site or directly at the JEMS site. File format must be PDF. Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. Electronic only submission at https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/ccgrid2007 Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Workshops, Tutorials, and Posters Workshop proposals should be 4 pages maximum. Tutorials are 4-four pages long and require a 5th-page description including the presenters' vita and contents to be presented. Poster submission should be 2 pages maximum. Submission is on-line only at the symposium web site or directly at the submission site. File format must be PDF. These rules should actually be asked to the appropriate chair.

Meeting 2007/2
by Otto Spaniol 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Dear all, there was a little uncertainty concerning the dates of meeting 2007/2 and the preceding conference. My proposal together with Kiril Boyanov is as follows: ----------------------------- Conference; BCI 2007: Balkan Conference in Informatics TC6 + BAS (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences); 26-28 September, 2007; Sofia, Bulgaria Contact: Kiril Boyanov boyanov(a)acad.bg URL: http://bci2007.uni-sofia.bg Meeting; 2007/2; TC-6; 28+29 Sept, 2007; Borovez, Bulgaria ----------------------------- Thus the meeting would be Fri+Sat including a one day overlap with the preceding conference, but this overlap is not serious. Talks by TC6 delegates would be arranged for Wed+Thu. The meeting location (Borovez) is a very beautiful small typical Bulgarian town. Transport from and to Sofia or from Sofia airport is a little more than one hour and wil be arranged by buses and by cars. We would have a possibility of organising the meeting also on Sat+Sun if the majority of delegates prefers that scheduling. However, my feeling is that Fri+Sat (as proposed) is better. Please comment on this. There would be also a possibility of a joint bus excursion on Sunday. Best regards Otto

I have forwarded your request to Klaus brunnstein (IFIP president and chairman of the congress selection committee) and to Eduard Dundler (IFIP secretariat); both of them get a copy of tis message, too. Eduard told me on the phone that exactly today the official procedure concerning bids for WCC 2010 will be started by informing the National Societies. Thus an official reply and a formal bid for WCC 2010 would have to come from the National GA Representative of India. With respect to Networking 2010 the committee TC6 will discuss your request at the occasion of the next meeting in May 2007. As you know, Networking 2008 will be held in Asia already (Singapore), Networking 2009 is still open (maybe in London). There might be some discussion whether we should return to Asia just two years after 2008. But, personally I think that this would be a possible option. Another discussion point is that traditionally Networking XXXX is held in May whereas WCC YYYY must be held in end of August or in early September together with a IFIP GA Meeting. We would have to discuss with TC6 whether we go away from our traditional date and whether we want to combine Networking with WCC; here I see some potential for conflicting views. A last point is the weather situation in India during August/September; as you told me in Paris, there is still some heavy monsoon rain in some parts of the country during that time of the year; this would make the organisation of a large congress less convenient. On the other hand, you said that in some other parts of India the weather would be quite good at that time of the year. You didn't indicate a town where WCC 2010 should be held. So you see that this and other points deserve thorough discussion. Thanks once again for your initiative. I look very much forward to it.
