Scope
------


The rapid rise of the grid computing concept is leading to the development
of a wide range of capabilities for managing distributed applications and
services. These applications and services, in addition to the grid
infrastructure itself, all rely on network communication. Effectively
utilizing high-speed networks, however, is not entirely trivial. Network
communication will also encompass far more than simple, point-to-point
data transfers. Advanced network capabilities will include quality of
service, security, filtering, reliable multicast, high performance
transport protocols, monitoring, performance measurements and
content-based routing, to name a few. In many cases, new network services
will offer applications a control plane whereby it can control network
behavior in the data plane. Hence, grid applications and middleware that
can be more network-aware, and even topology-aware, will be able to
achieve higher performance, and responsiveness while lower network demand.
Meanwhile, performance and specific requirements of Grid applications will
push the evolution of network protocols.

For these reasons, the Workshop of Grids and Advanced Networks (GAN'06)
will be convened as part of CCGrid 2006 to bring together researchers in
both grids and networks to present the latest work integrating these two
fields. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to :

  - Grids and High-Performance Networks
  - Communication Middleware
  - Multicast for Grids
  - QoS for Grids
  - Grid Network Security
  - Grid Network Services, e.g., monitoring, filtering
  - Transport protocol for Grids
  - Network resource allocation
  - Content-based Networking
  - Bulk Data Transfer
  - Active and Programmable Networks for Grids
  - Resource Discovery
  - Topology Construction
  - Network Protocols Enhancement for Grids
  - Grid Applications using advanced network capabilities
  - Optical network solutions supporting Grids

Paper Submissions
-------------------

GAN 2006 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. GAN 2006
also encourages the submission of outstanding "work-in-progress" papers.
Authors are invited to submit papers of not more than 8 pages of double
column text using single spaced 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages,
as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines, see
http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. Authors should submit a
PostScript (level 2) or 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. To upload your paper, use the following
