IEEE Workshop on Grid and P2P Systems and Applications (GridPeer 2009)

Workshop at ICCCN 2009
August 2-6, 2009

Note: Select papers will appear in a special issue of the Journal of Parallel,
Emergent, and Distributed Systems

The grid and P2P are two approaches of distributed computing that have seen
rapid evolution and widespread deployment recently, leading to many interesting
and successful results. While grid computing has been focused more on
infrastructure designs and on networks where the partici-pating nodes are
reliable and rather static, P2P has been more on the application level with
nodes having more freedom to contribute to or withdraw from the network.
Despite the difference, the common motivation behind these technologies is the
capability to share resources, reduce the server costs, and promote
boundary-crossing collaborations. They also face a com-mon challenge. Today, as
hardware is getting less expensive and computing services becoming more
accessible, more and more data can be generated and applications demanded. As
such, grid systems and P2P systems need to maintain effectiveness, efficiency,
robustness, and scal-ability upon system growths, dynamics, and complexities.

GridPeer 2009 is an effort to bring together engineers and researchers in the
areas of grid and/or P2P systems, with the purpose of not only advancing
research activities in each area but also promoting the synergy across the two.
This workshop solicits latest original contributions whose focus is on systems
and applications. We especially welcome those well-thought ideas that could be
risky yet potential to lead to major advances from the current state of the
art. Topics of interest include the following, but not limited to:

- Data management in grid and P2P systems
- Networking protocols for grid and P2P systems
- Resource sharing and discovery in grid and P2P systems
- Security, privacy, collaboration, and trust management in grid and P2P systems
- Fault tolerance, scalability, and other performance issues in grid and P2P
systems
- Mobile P2P applications and services
- Cluster techniques, service-oriented architectures, and other supporting
methods for system and application development in grid and P2P networks
- Testbed/software development and implementation experiences with grid and P2P
systems

Review and Publication of Manuscripts

All submitted papers will be reviewed by the TPC members and judged on
originality, technical correctness, relevance, and quality of presentation. An
accepted paper must be presented at the conference venue by one of the authors
registered at the full registration rate. Each full registration covers up to
two papers (conference-track or workshop-track) by an author. Accepted papers
will be published in proceedings that will be available through IEEE Xplore
(pending IEEE approval).
