********************************************************************
Second International Conference on Grid computing, high-performAnce
and Distributed Applications (GADA'08)

9-14th November, 2008
Monterrey, Mexico

Part of OnTheMove (OTM) Conference Series 2008
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf

Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag
********************************************************************
In the last decade, grid computing has developed into one of the most
important topics in the computing field. The research area of grid
computing has been making particularly rapid progress in the last few
years, due to the increasing number of scientific applications that are
demanding intensive use of computational resources and a dynamic and
heterogeneous infrastructure

Within this framework, the GADA workshop arose in 2004 as a forum for
researchers in grid computing whose aim was to extend their background
in this area, and more specifically, for those who used grid
environments in managing and analyzing data. Both GADA'04 and GADA'05
were constituted as successful events, due to the large number of
high-quality papers received, as well as the brainstorming of
experiences and ideas interchanged in the associated forums. Because of
this demonstrated success, GADA was upgraded as a Conference within On
The Move Federated Conferences and Workshops(OTM'06). GADA'06 covered a
broader set of disciplines, although grid computing kept a key role in
the set of main topics of the conference.

The objective of grid computing is the integration of heterogeneous
computing systems and data resources with the aim of providing a global
computing space. The achievement of this goal is creating revolutionary
changes in the field of computation, because it enables resource sharing
across networks, with data being one of the most important resources.
Thus, data access, management and analysis within grid and distributed
environments are also dealt as main part of the conference.

Therefore, the main goal of GADA'08 is to provide a framework in which a
community of researchers, developers and users can exchange ideas and
works related to grid, high-performance and distributed applications and
systems. The second goal of GADA'08 is to create interaction between
grid computing researchers and the other OTM attendees.

GADA'08 intends to draw a highly diverse body of researchers and
practitioners by being part of the "On the Move to Meaningful Internet
Systems and Ubiquitous Computing 2008" federated conferences event that
includes five co-located conferences:
* GADA'08 (International Conference on Grid computing,
  high-performAnce and Distributed Applications)
* CoopIS'08 (International Conference on Cooperative Information
  Systems)
* DOA'08 (International Symposium on Distributed Objects and
  Applications)
* ODBASE'08 (International Conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and
  applications of Semantics)
* IS'08 (Information Security Symposium)

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Computational grids
* Data grids
* High-performance computing
* Distributed applications
* Cluster computing
* Parallel applications
* Grid infrastructures for data analysis
* High-performance computing for data-intensive applications

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers submitted to GADA'08 must not have been accepted for publication
elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference.

All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression.

All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format
and must not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready format. Authors
instructions can be found at:

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Failure to comply with the above formatting instructions for submitted
papers will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review.

The paper submission is located at:
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/gada/2008/papers/

Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically
excludes a paper from the proceedings.
