[sched-chairs] Grid Economy Workshop at GGF13

[Stephen Pickles]

Dear SRM Area Chairs,

There is a proposed Grid Economy Workshop, to be co-located
with GGF13 in Seoul. Find the Call for Papers below.

There is room on the programme committee for volunteers
to help review papers and so on. If you think you can help
out here, please contact Junseok Hwang, the workshop
co-chair.

If the topics overlap with the interests of your group,
please pass the CFP on to your group members. I think
the workshop is probably relevant to GESA-WG, RUS-WG, UR-WG
and possibly GSA-RG.

I hope to see many of you in Seoul.

Stephen

Scope
-----
Grid computing systems utilize the heterogeneous networked resources
(computation, information, database, storage, bandwidth, etc.) through
the
Internet. The systems can operate in predefined and organized ways or
form
the collected resource systems through self-organized and decentralized
ways. Even with the various types of abundant resources in the Internet,
the resources that can be organized and operated in the presence of
multiple resource owners with the uncertainty of resource availability
and
quality are scarce.  Therefore, managing and operating such scarce
resources in the Grid systems would bring the need of the economy which
will value the need and availability of various types of resources. The
creation of stable and scalable economy will support the successful
deployment and operation of Global Grid systems in the Internet. This
Second International Workshop on Grid Economics and Business Models
invites
the researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to discuss
the
economy of these systems in concern focusing on the operational and
deployment issues of Grid Economy.  

Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to, the
following: 

-National Computational Grid Systems and their Economy and Policy  
-Global Grid Economy Testbeds and Operation 
-Market Managed Operation of the Internet  
-The Economics of Grid Standardization  
-Wireless Grid Systems' Economy and its Operation and Deployment  
-Pricing, Charging and Accounting Issues of Heterogeneous Resources  
-Identity Economics and Anonymity of Distributed Systems  
-Suggestion for Grid Commercialization Strategies 
-Business Application Development for Grid Service for Grid Service  
 Popularization 
-System Operating Rule Design Considering Human Factors
