                             Sponsored/Organised By:
        IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Scalable Computing
         The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), India
   Center For Computation & Technology (CCT) at Lousiana State 
University, USA

                                 Call for Papers

The next generation of scientific research and experiments will be 
carried out
by communities of researchers from organizations that span national 
boundaries.
These activities will involve geographically distributed and heterogeneous
resources such as computational systems, scientific instruments, databases,
sensors, software components, networks, and people. Such large-scale and
enhanced scientific endeavors, popularly termed as e-Science, are 
carried out
via collaborations on a global scale.

Grid computing has emerged as one of the key computing paradigms that
enable the creation and management of an Internet-based utility computing
infrastructure, called cyberinfrastructure, for the realization of
e-Science and e-Business at the global level.  To harness the potential of
e-Science and Grid computing paradigms, several national and international
projects around the world have been initiated to carry out research and
innovation activities that will transform the goal of e-Science and Grid
computing into a reality.

The e-Science 2007 conference, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's
Technical Committee for Scalable Computing (TCSC), is designed to bring
together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities,
developers, and users of e-Science applications and enabling IT
technologies. The conference serves as a forum to present the results of
the latest research and product/tool developments, and highlight related
activities from around the world.

Topics of interest concerning e-Science and Grid computing include, but
not limited to, the following:

      * Enabling Technologies: Internet and Web Services
      * Collaborative Science Models and Techniques
      * Service-Oriented Grid Architectures
      * Problem Solving Environments
      * Application Development Environments
      * Programming Paradigms and Models
      * Resource Management and Scheduling
      * Grid Economy and Business Models
      * Autonomic, Real-Time and Self-Organising Grids
      * Virtual Instruments and Data Access Management
      * Sensor Networks and Environmental Observatories in e-Science
      * Security Challenges
      * e-Science & Grid applications in Physics, Biology, Astronomy,
        Chemistry, Finance, Engineering, and the Humanities
      * Web 2.0 Technology and Services for e-Science

LOCATION
--------

The e-Science 2007 conference is being organized in conjunction with the
Centre for the Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), India.
Established in 1988 by the Ministry of Communications and Information
Technology originally to develop the PARAM series of supercomputers, C-DAC
has since diversified to become the premier institute in India researching
and developing advanced computing to the furtherment of science, industry,
and business.

The conference will be held in Bangalore, India.  With metropolitan
population of 6.1 million, Bangalore is India's fifth-largest metropolitan
area, and the center of India's information technology industry.  It
accounts for around 38% of Indian software exports and is known popularly
as the "Silicon Valley of India" and "Information Technology capital of
India".  The recent software boom and globalization has made Bangalore an
attractive off-shore center for many popular IT firms.

The city is also home to a number of pioneering educational institutions.
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is one of the most popular science
and technological research institutes.  The Indian Institute of Management
at Bangalore is one of the top Business Schools in India.

In addition to its technological prowess, Bangalore is also known as the
"Garden City of India" because of the large number of gardens and parks.
The most famous of them are the botanical gardens, Lalbagh and Cubbon
Park, each around 240 acres of flora.  Lalbagh, meaning the "The Red
Garden", was constructed in 1760 and is known due to its abundance of red
roses.  Cubbon Park was built during the British rule in India and
wonderfully constructed public buildings reside amidst this wooded and
grassy expanse.  The Bannerghatta National Park, around 13 miles from the
city, is a known for the lion and tiger safari and a nature lover's
delight to see the fauna in their natural habitat.

Another attraction is the Vidhana Soudha, a majestic building comprising
of skillful blending of ancient and modern architectural styles with
richly carved bases and capitals for pillars, deep friezes, Kapotha
cornices, Chaithya arches.  This building houses the State Legislature of
Karnataka state and is one of the major visitor attractions of Bangalore.
Bangalore Palace is built similar to the medieval castles in Normandy and
England.

TRAVEL
------

Bangalore's HAL Airport (IATA code: BLR) is India's fourth busiest and
serves both domestic and international flights.  International airlines
such as Air-India, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Air France
provide convenient direct flights from Bangalore to destinations in Asia
and Europe, such as Chicago, London, Frankfurt, Paris, and Singapore.
