Second Call for Papers

4th Workshop on Large Scale Computations on Grids (LaSCoG'08)
Wisla, Poland, October 20-22, 2008
www.lascog.imcsit.org

Large Scale Computations on Grids (LaSCoG) Workshop will be organized
within the framework of the International Multiconference on Computer
Science and Information Technology (www.imcsit.org) and co-located with
the XXIV Autumn Meeting of the Polish Information Processing Society.

The emerging paradigm for execution of large-scale computations, whether
they originate as scientific or engineering applications, or for
supporting large data-intensive calculations, is to utilize multiple
computers at sites distributed across the Internet. In particular,
computational grids are collections of distributed, possibly
heterogeneous resources which can be used as ensembles to execute
large-scale applications. While the vision of the global computational
Grid is extremely appealing, there remains a lot of work on all levels
to achieve it. In this context the LaSCoG workshop is envisioned as a
forum to promote exchange of ideas and results aimed at addressing
complex issues that arise in developing large-scale computations on
Grids and running applications on them.

Covered topics include (but are not limited to) Grid-focused aspects of:
- Large-scale algorithms
- Symbolic and numeric computations
- High performance computations for large scale simulations
- Large-scale distributed computations
- Agent-based computing
- Data models for large-scale applications
- Cloud computing
- Security issues for large-scale computations
- Science portals
- Data visualization
- Performance analysis, evaluation and prediction
- Programming models
- Peer-to-peer models and services for scalable grids
- Collaborative science applications
- Business applications
- Data-intensive applications
