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.
