[Mycolleagues] HiPerGRID 2008: First Call for Papers

(Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.)

CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on High Performance Grid Middleware,
HiPerGRID 2008

http://hipergrid.grid.pub.ro

Organized by University Politehnica of Bucharest
21-22 November 2008, Bucharest, Romania

Scope and Motivation
-------------------------------
Grid Middleware refers to resource management, execution management,
data management, security, monitoring and discovery, accounting, and
other functions required by Virtual Organizations to operate effectively
a shared services environment. Obtaining high performance Grid
Middleware through new, innovative solutions is a challenge of today
research, due to the strong requirements imposed by the dynamic behavior
of the user and resource communities that compose the Virtual
Organizations. Another important role of middleware is to create a
dependable architecture for Grid as part of the
large scale distributed systems vision.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an open forum for researchers
from the Grid middleware community to present, discuss, and exchange
research-related ideas, results, and experiences in the area of high
performance grid middleware. Establish further subject for cooperation
and common project is also at the aim of this workshop.

Topics of Interest
-------------------------
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
* Grid middleware services
* Grid scheduling architectures
* Grid Resource Management
* Dependable middleware architectures
* Grid Monitoring and information systems
* Distributed data storage on Grids
* Multi-level scheduling strategies
* Scheduling of high performance parallel applications
* Load balancing and load sharing
* Fault-tolerance, reliability, and replication
* Automatic performance optimization
* Modeling, simulation and evaluation of Grid middleware
* Performance prediction
* Grid security
