: : The Third Grid Applications and Middleware Workshop

The Third Grid Applications and Middleware Workshop
with special emphasis on Scientific Workflows

Grid Applications and Middleware Workshop 2007, Gdańsk, Poland (GAMW'2007)
in conjunction with the
7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS PPAM 2007
Gdańsk, Poland, September 9-12, 2007

The Applications and Middleware Grid Workshop in Gdańsk, POLAND, is the third workshop in the series with special attention this year on scientific workflows. It seeks to provide a bridge between the application community, developers and directors of grid policies and infrastructures. The Workshop results will provide input to middleware and infrastructure developers.

The goals of this workshop are:

To provide a forum for exchanging the ideas between the grid application users, application developers and grid middleware developers
To identify the key application requirements and scenarios on the grid
To gather/spread the information about tools, toolkits and other mechanisms for grid application users and developers
To broaden the grid community by encouraging new users to use the grid technologies.

We are looking for papers from different areas of grid computing, especially those concerned with workflows, collaborative environments on the grid and applications.

Suggested topics for papers and posters include, but are not limited to, the following:

Workflows, application representations
Collaborative Environments on the Grid
Grid Application Toolkits and Frameworks
Experience in both, converting existing applications and designing new applications to run on the grid
Data management
Experience on the characteristics of applications or particular application software that make them well suited for the grid, like checkpoint/restart functionality in grids, new challenges in data/information management
Application requirements for grid middleware and fabric infrastructures, including networks

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Original papers are invited for the conference. Authors should submit full papers (draft version, Postscript or PDF file) to Ewa Deelman, (workshop chair, email: gamw@man.poznan.pl) before April 30, 2007.
