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.
