*GRIDNETS 2010*

4th International ICST Conference on Networks for Grid Applications

13-15 September 2010, Chicago, USA

www.gridnets.org <http://gridnets.org>

*CALL FOR PAPERS

 *** DEADLINE EXTENDED***

*
*SPONSORS*

Sponsored by ICST <http://www.icst.org>
Technically co-sponsored by CREATE-NET <http://www.create-net.org>

***

*SCOPE*

GRIDNETS 2010 provides a focused and highly interactive forum where 
researchers and technologists have the opportunity to present and 
discuss leading research, developments, and future directions in the 
Grid Networking area. The goal of this event is to serve as both the 
premier conference presenting best Grid Networking research and a forum 
where new concepts can be introduced and explored.

***

***TOPICS*

**Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following focus 
areas:**
**

    * Network architectures and technologies for grids
    * Integration of advanced optical networking technologies into the
      grid environment
    * The network as a first class grid resource: network resource
      information publication, brokering, and co-scheduling with other
      resources
    * Interaction of the network with distributed data management systems
    * Network monitoring, traffic characterisation, and performance analysis
    * Inter-layer interactions: optical layer with higher layer
      protocols, integration among layers
    * Experience with pre-production optical network infrastructures and
      exchange points
    * Peer-to-peer network enhancements applied to the grid
    * Network support for wireless and ad hoc grids
    * Data replication and multicasting strategies and novel data
      transport protocols
    * Cluster and high performance networks
    * Networks for data centers
    * Networks & cloud computing issues
    * Fault-tolerance, self healing networks
    * Security and scalability issues when connecting a large number of
      sites within a virtual organization VPN
    * Cloud networking and Grid Networking intersection
    * Grid Networking and petascale computing
    * Grid Networking for e-Science
    * Terabit Grid Networking
    * Digital media and Grid Networks
    * Energy awareness and power consumption in grids
    * Virtual networks
    * Digital media networks
    * Ad hoc networks

The organizers of GRIDNETS 2010 encourage submissions related to the 
results of future network research activities. Currently, many large 
scale advanced networking research projects have been established to 
create new types of experimental research environments, such as the US 
National Science Foundation's Global Environment for Network Innovations 
(GENI), those being created in Europe through the EIFFEL (Evolved 
Internet Future for European Leadership) and FIREworks (Future Internet 
Research and Experimentation - Strategy Works) initiatives, in Japan 
through the New Generation Internet program, and in many other 
countries. In addition, various related initiatives, such as the NSF's 
Future Internet Design (FIND), have been established to support research 
using advanced network research testbeds. GridNets has been designed as 
a forum in which the results of such activities can be presented and 
discussed.
