Call for Papers
The 4th Grid Applications and Middleware Workshop
with special emphasis on Cloud Computing
(GAMW'2009)
in conjunction with the
8th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS PPAM 2009
Wroclaw, Poland, September 13-16, 2009
The Applications and Middleware Grid Workshop in Wroc³aw, POLAND, is the 4th edition of the workshop. The last one was focusing on scientific workflows and the current one is trying to explore the difference and similarities between grid and cloud computing. The overall objective is to provide a bridge between the application community, developers and policy makers of distributed, heterogeneous e-infrastructures. The Workshop results will provide input to middleware and infrastructure developers.
The specific 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 e-infrastructure community by encouraging new users to use the grid and cloud technologies.
We are looking for papers from different areas of grid and cloud computing, especially those concerned with workflows, collaborative environments, and distributed applications. Suggested topics for papers and posters include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cloud and grid computing
- Virtualization Technologies
- Customization of Virtualization Environments
- Workflows, application representations
- Collaborative Environments on the Grid
- Distributed Application Toolkits and Frameworks
- Experience in both, converting existing applications and designing new applications to run on the distributed ecosystem
- Distributed Data management
- Experience on the characteristics of applications or particular application software that make them well suited for the grid, such as checkpoint/restart functionality, new challenges in data/information management
- Application requirements for grid and cloud middleware as well as 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 gamw@man.poznan.pl before April 30th, 2009. Regular papers cannot exceed 10 pages (preferably in Springer LNCS format www.springeronline.com). Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the Workshop topics. The authors will be notified by the end of May 2009.
Papers presented at the GAMW2009 will be included into the proceedings and published after the conference by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Full camera-ready versions of accepted papers will be required before October 31, 2009 (please provide also LateX and pdf versions) - to be submitted via the conference submission system. The author's guide for preparing them in LaTeX are available on the conference's home page.
