[Mycolleagues] Extended deadline HiPerGRID 2008 workshop

Dear colleagues,  We announce an extension for the Second Edition of International Workshop on High Performance Grid Middleware (HiPerGRID 2008).  The extended deadline is August 17, 2008  You are welcome to forward this CFP to your friends and colleagues working in the field.  Best regards,  HiPerGRID Chairs    HiPerGRID 2008 ============== 2nd International Workshop on High Performance Grid Middleware 21-22 November 2008, Bucharest, Romania, http://hipergrid.grid.pub.ro 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  Workshop chairs ------------------------- Nicolae Tapus, University Politehnica of Bucharest, RO  Valentin Cristea, University Politehnica of Bucharest, RO  Program Committee ----------------- Gabriel Antoniu, INRIA, France  Rosa M.
