HPDC-11: The International Symposium on Grid Computing<br>
July 24 - 26, 2002<br><br>
in conjunction with<br><br>
Global Grid Forum (GGF)-5<br>
July 22 - 24, 2002<br>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>
The Conference:<br>
The HPDC symposium series has emerged as a leading technical conference
in <br>
the growing and important field of Grid computing. This, the 11th meeting
<br>
in the series, will be held for the first time outside the U.S., and for
<br>
the first time in conjunction with the Global Grid Forum, the
international <br>
body formed in 1998 to promote communication, best practices, and
standards <br>
in Grid computing. HPDC-11/GGF-5 will together provide a global meeting
<br>
place for those interested in Grid computing technologies and
applications. <br>
A joint program of tutorials and keynote talks will highlight major
themes <br>
and recent developments in the field.<br><br>
The Theme:<br>
The HPDC-11 conference (formally, the 11th IEEE International Symposium
on <br>
High-Performance Distributed Computing) will be a forum for presenting
the <br>
latest research findings on the design and use of highly networked
systems <br>
for computing, collaboration, data analysis, and other innovative tasks.
<br>
Submissions are encouraged on all aspects of Grid computing, including
<br>
hardware technologies, middleware, network services, and tools and <br>
languages that support application development. Case studies describing
<br>
novel applications are also of interest. All papers will be rigorously
<br>
reviewed by a distinguished international review committee.<br><br>
Topics of Interest (include, but are not limited to):<br>
-Software environments and language support for Grid computing<br>
-Applications and case studies of Grid computing<br>
-Parallel and distributed algorithms to solve computationally and <br>
data-intensive problems in networked environments<br>
-Multimedia, teleimmersive, and collaborative applications<br>
-Data Grids<br>
-High performance I/O and file systems<br>
-Security, configuration, policy, and management issues<br>
-Fault tolerance<br>
-Architectural support for high-speed communications or interconnection
<br>
networks<br>
-Efficient communication interfaces for distributed computing<br>
-Terabit network architectures.<br><br>
Paper Submissions:<br>
Authors are requested to submit extended abstracts of at most 3000 words,
<br>
not including figures or references. Abstracts should be written so as to
<br>
be self contained and to provide the technical substance required for the
<br>
program committee to evaluate the paper's contribution. Excessively long
<br>
abstracts will be rejected outright. Papers submitted to or published in
<br>
another reference or journal are ineligible for this
conference.<br><br>
Abstracts must be submitted by February 22, 2002 (note: deadline has been
<br>
extended from previous call). Electronic submission is preferred; see
<br>

for details. <br>
Authors will be notified by April 10, 2002, and final camera-ready copies <br>
are due by May 8, 2002.<br><br>
Tutorial Submissions:<br>
Tutorial proposals should be submitted to the Tutorials Chair by March 4, <br>
2002: Rich Wolski, rich@cs.ucsb.edu.<br><br>
Exhibits and Technical Demonstrations:<br>
Proposals for exhibits and technical demonstrations should be submitted to <br>
Randy Bramley, bramley@indiana.edu, by May 1, 2002. Proposals should <br>
include a 2-4 page definition and description of each exhibit / demonstration.<br><br>
About Edinburgh:<br>
See <a href="http://www.eicc.co.uk/edinburgh/" eudora="autourl">http://www.eicc.co.uk/edinburgh/</a> for information about the Edinburgh <br>
International Convention Center.<br>
A unique combination of heritage, colour and culture, this is a city of <br>
breathtaking beauty. The quaint corners and alleyways of the Old Town, the <br>
Georgian splendor of Charlotte Square, the dominating presence of the <br>
castle: all different, all unforgettable, all essentially Edinburgh. <br>
Edinburgh is once again home to Scotland's parliament and excitement is in <br>
the air. Edinburgh is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with mountains, <br>
glens, lochs and wild places only a short journey away. There are more <br>
distilleries and castles than you can possibly visit, and more single malts <br>
than you can possibly drink. Archaeological sites date back about 4000 years.<br><br>
