<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>
