Special Issue of the Scalable Computing: Practice and Experiences (SCPE)
journal is currently being prepared and will be based primarily on
extended and modified versions of papers accepted for two Workshops
organized within the framework of the PPAM'2009 Conference
(http://www.ppam.pl):

*	Grid Applications and Middleware (http://www.ppam.pl/?page=gamw)
and
*	Large Scale Computations in Grids (http://lascog09.info.uvt.ro/)

In an effort to broaden the scope of the Special Issue, we would like to
invite submissions of additional papers matching one or more topic of
either Workshop:

GAMW Topics:

* Cloud and grid computing
* Virtualization Technologies
* Customization of Virtualization Environments
* Workflows, application representations
* Collaborative Environments on the Grid
* Distributed Application Toolkits and Frameworks
* Experience in both, converting existing applications and designing new
   applications to run on the distributed ecosystem
* Distributed Data management
* Experience on the characteristics of applications or particular
   application software that make them well suited for the grid, such as
   checkpoint/restart functionality, new challenges in data/information
   management
* Application requirements for grid and cloud middleware as well as
   fabric infrastructures, including networks

LaSCoG Topics:

* Large-scale algorithms
* Symbolic and numeric computations
* High performance computations for large scale simulations
* Large-scale distributed computations
* Agent-based computing
* Data models for large-scale applications
* Cloud computing
* Security issues for large-scale computations
* Science portals
* Data visualization
* Performance analysis, evaluation and prediction
* Programming models
* Peer-to-peer models and services for scalable grids
* Collaborative science applications
* Business applications
* Data-intensive applications

Papers have to be formatted according to the instructions found at:
http://www.scpe.org/?a=instruction

All submissions will be refereed by at least two referees.

Schedule:
	- submission of the paper: 		March 30, 2010
	- acceptance decision			April 30, 2010
	- final versions of papers due:		May 30, 2010


Please submit your papers to: marcin.paprzycki at ibspan.waw.pl. The
initial submission should consist of a PDF file ONLY. A complete set of
files (sources) will be required for final versions of accepted papers.
