Call for Papers

CCGrid 2008 is the eight in a series of successful international
symposia and for the first time will take place in France, in Lyon. Grid
Computing started as a generalization of Cluster Computing, promising to
deliver large scale levels of parallelism to high-performance
applications by crossing administrative boundaries. Moreover, the use of
computational and data resources in high-performance applications,
undertaken over Grid infrastructure, have started to now become a
reality. Today we face the huge challenge of making on-demand access to
any computational service.

CCGrid 2008 provides researchers and practitioners with an excellent
opportunity to share their research and experience at the cross-roads of
Cluster and Grid Technology. The areas of interest include, but are not
limited to, the following:

* Grid Architectures and Systems
* Clusters technologies
* Grid Economies and Service Architectures
* Service Composition and Orchestration
* Middleware for Clusters and Grids
* Scheduling and Load Balancing
* Parallel and Wide-Area File Systems
* Peer-to-Peer Systems
* Utility Computing Models for Clusters and Grids
* Community and collaborative computing networks
* Support for Self-Managing/Self-Configuring Grid Infrastructure
* Grid Operating Systems
* Resource Management
* Programming Models, Tools, and Environments
* Grid-based Problem Solving Environments
* Performance Evaluation and Modeling
* Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications
* Grid Trust and Security

Authors are invited to submit original papers of 8 pages maximum. Papers
should be double column text and follow the IEEE manuscript guidelines
provided by CCGrid2008 web site (on-line submission). Submission implies
the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present
the paper.
