        <p><strong>Grid 2012: 13th IEEE/ACM International Conference on
            Grid Computing</strong></p>
        <p>Beijing, China</p>
        <p>September 20-23, 2012</p>
        <p><a href="http://grid2012.meepo.org">http://grid2012.meepo.org</a><br>
        </p>
        <p>Co-located with ChinaGrid'12</p>
        <p>Grid computing enables the sharing of distributed computing
          and data resources such as processing, network bandwidth and
          storage capacity to create a cohesive resource environment for
          executing distributed applications. The Grid conference series
          is an annual international meeting that brings together a
          community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and users
          involved with Grid technology. The objective of the meeting is
          to serve as both the premier venue for presenting foremost
          research results in the area and as a forum for introducing
          and exploring new concepts.</p>
        <p>In 2012, the Grid conference will come to China for the first
          time and will be held in Beijing, co-located with
          ChinaGrid'12. Grid 2012 will have a focus on important and
          immediate issues that are significantly influencing grid
          computing.</p>
        <h2>Scope</h2>

        <h2>Paper Submission</h2>
        <p>Authors are invited to submit original papers (not published
          or currently under review for any other conference or
          journal). Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 8 letter
          size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references
          using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Authors
          should submit the manuscript in PDF format via <a
            href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=grid12">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=grid12</a></p>
        <p>All submitted papers will be reviewed by program committee
          members and selected based on their originality, correctness,
          technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and
          interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Accepted
          papers will be published in the IEEE categorized conference
          proceedings and will be made available online through the IEEE
          Xplore and the CS Digital Library.</p>
