Dear Raj,

Here is the CFP for GP2PC'08 (workshop associated with CCGRID).
Could it be forwarded to discuss at ieeetcsc.org ?

Thanks a lot !

                       The 8th International Workshop on

                 GLOBAL AND PEER-TO-PEER COMPUTING (GP2PC'08)

SCOPE

Global Computing systems, Desktop Grids and Peer-to-Peer systems (P2P)
aim to harness Internet-connected resources at a global scale.


Supporting computation on such systems raises a novel set of
questions. Because of size, autonomy and the high volatility of
resources, these platforms provide the opportunity to revisit major
fields of distributed computing such as protocols, infrastructures,
security, fault tolerance, scheduling, performance, services,
applications, and incentives for cooperation. Moreover, new issues
concerning the installation, maintenance and scalability of
large-scale distributed systems are more relevant than ever.




The focus of this seventh GP2PC workshop is on large scale data
managment.  We invite contributions that investigate the technics of
P2P systems for efficient distribution of volumous and data,
massively distributed indexing of data, high-availability of data in
volatile environment,  execution of data-intense application on
Desktop Grids,  storage-based Global Computing.
We are interested in innovative middleware and applications with
large-scale deployments or performance evaluations.

TOPICS
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Volunteer Computing, Desktop Grids and Peer-to-Peer platforms
* P2P Merging/Interoperability with Grid standards
* Middleware, programming models, environments and toolkits for
Global and P2P systems
* Protocols for resource management (discovery, reservation,
scheduling, monitoring)
* Collaborative data dissemination protocols
* Storage in GP2P infrastructures (strategies, protocols)
* Computational resource and data management
* Performance measurements, benchmarking, and real life testbeds
* Simulators, emulators and modeling
* Security (trust models, infrastructure)
* Result certification (detection/tolerance of corrupted results)
* Incentives for participation
* Economic considerations of resource usage (protocols, accounting)
* Applications (programmed from scratch, ported from sequential or
parallel
   implementations, or adapted to fit a global computing environment)


PAPER SUBMISSION

The papers are limited to 6 pages each and they must follow the IEEE
8.5"x11" two-column format guidelines described at http://
www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html. Workshop
papers will be included in CCGrid proceedings published by IEEE
Computer Society and will be available electronically in the IEEE
Digital Library. We will open the submition site later.
