GRID 2006 Preliminary Call for Papers
=====================================

GRID 2006 the 7th IEEE International Conference on Grid Computing
Barcelona, 28-29 September
www.grid2006.org

The Grid conference series is an anual international meeting that brings 
together a community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and users 
involved with Grid technology. The objective of the meeting is to serve as 
both the premier conference presenting best Grid research and a forum where 
new concepts can be introduced and explored.

The previous events in this series were: Grid 2000, Bangalore, India; Grid
2001, Denver; Grid 2002, Baltimore; Grid 2003, Phoenix; Grid 2004,
Pittsburgh; 
and the sixth event, Grid 2005 in Seattle. All of these events have been 
successful in attracting high quality papers and a wide international 
participation. Last year's event attracted about 400 registered
participants.  
>From the second event through the sixth, we have been known as the Grid 
Workshop affiliated with the Supercomputing SC conference series.  For this,

our seventh event, we will convene our first meeting as a conference and
this 
year we will be co-located with the 2006 Cluster conference.

The proceedings of the first three workshops were published by
Springer-Verlag, and the proceedings of the three most recent workshops
were published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. We expect this year's
proceedings will join those of the last three years in the IEEE Computer
Society's Digital Library.

Grid 2006 has been labeled CoreGRID event.

limited to:

    * Internet-based Computing Models
    * Applications, including eScience and eBusiness Applications
    * Distributed and Large-Scale Data Access and Management
    * Middleware and Toolkits
    * Monitoring, Management and Organization Tools
    * Resource Management and Scheduling
    * Networking
    * Virtual Instrumentation

Technical Papers
================

Grid 2006 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work (also not
submitted elsewhere for review) reporting solid and innovative results in
any
aspect of grid computing and its applications. Papers should not exceed 8
single-spaced pages of text using 10-point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch paper
(see IEEE author instructions, a LaTeX style sheet and Word format is
available, too). All bibliographical references, tables, and figures must be
included in these 8 pages. Submissions that exceed the 8-page limit will not
be reviewed. Authors should submit a PDF file that will print on a
PostScript
printer.

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper.

Proceedings: All papers selected for this conference are peer-reviewed and
will
be published as a separate proceedings. After the event, the papers will
also
be published in the IEEE Xplore and the CS digital library. For author
instructions see http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm

Special Issue: The best 6 to 8 papers from the conference will be selected
for
journal length extension and their publication in a special issue of
the Future Generation Computing Systems (FGCS).
