Grids are revolutionising computing as profoundly as e-mail and the Web revolutionised communications and publishing in the last 15 years. Grids are a crucial enabling technology for Scientific and Industrial development in the decade. Grid, Peer-to-Peer and other types of networked distributed computing and storage technologies, as well as emerging web technologies, have provided new paradigms exploiting distributed resources.
The CoreGRID Network of Excellence (NoE) is funded by the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme. It aims at strengthening and advancing scientific and technological excellence in the area of Grid and Peer-to-Peer technologies. The Network is operated as a European Research Laboratory and brings together a critical mass of well-established researchers from 46 institutions.
The symposium seeks contributions from Grid projects on, but not limited to, the following Grid topics:
- Applications
- Agent-mediated approaches and peer-to-peer technologies
- Dynamic composition and orchestration of ubiquitous Grid services
- Experimental testbeds
- Grid Portals
- Grid Services
- Grids and Pervasive Computing
- Grid Information Systems/Services
- Industrial and Business Applications of Grid technologies
- Knowledge and data management
- Network-centric Grid operating systems
- Problem solving environments
- Programming models
- Resource brokering, management and scheduling
- Resource Virtualization
- Scalability Issues
- Semantic Grid
- Service Oriented Architectures
- System architectures and middleware systems
- Tools
- Trust & Security
- Validation and take-up of Grid environments and tools
