GRID 2006 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 labelled a CoreGRID event.

      * 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
      * Metadata, Ontologies, and Provenance
      * Creation and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations
      * Architectures and Fabrics
      * Information Services
      * Security Issues
      * Programming Models, Tools, and Environments
      * Grid Economy
      * Autonomic and Utility Computing on Global Grids
      * Performance Evaluation and Modeling
      * Cluster and Grid Integration Issues

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Grid 2006 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work  (also 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).
