                            Call for Papers

             Special Issue of Scientific Programming Journal
                       devoted to Grid Computing.

Grid computing has been steadily gaining acceptance as a feasible solution
to solving large-scale problems that require the sharing of geographically
distributed resources belonging to different organizations. Grids bring 
together widely distributed storage systems, computing platforms, 
instrumentation, and visualization engines. As such they have been used in
a wide range of applications such as large-scale scientific codes, 
distributed simulations, tele-immersive environments, remote
instrumentation control and visualization etc...

The Grid has not only the potential to support a wide range of applications
by linking computers together but also to bring together data and knowledge
distributed among many organizations and people, thus answering many of the
open scientific questions. This vision of the Grid is shared among and has
the support of many governments in Europe, Japan and the US.

Although, many Grid technologies have been developed over the past few
years, the ultimate success of the Grid will depend on providing the
ability to easily develop and run grid applications. Thus, developing Grid
technologies has become a major effort which brings together researchers in
all areas of computer science, such as high performance computing,
distributed systems, networking, security, operating systems, information
systems, databases, algorithms etc...

In light of the importance of the Grid computing environment, this special
issue of Scientific Programming journal
(http://www.iospress.nl/site/html/10589244.html) will be devoted to the
development and use of Grid tools and applications.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

·       Software environments and language support
·       Application frameworks
·       Grid component technology
·       Software engineering development methodologies
·       Debugging and performance tools
·       Support for data intensive applications
·       Applications and case studies
·       Quality of service, resource reservation strategies
·       Grid application performance

The schedule for this special issue is as follows:

Paper submission: March 30, 2001
All reviews back: June 15, 2001
All revisions back: August 1, 2001
Final notification: August 15, 2001
Publication date: Fall 2001

Authors should follow the Information for Authors at
http://www.iospress.nl/site/navfr/authcofr.html. An electronic copy of the
manuscript, in Postscript format should be submitted via electronic mail to
deelman at isi.edu by March 15, 2001. Submission should include authors names,
affiliations, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses on the cover
page.

Only original manuscripts, which have not been submitted elsewhere, will be
considered for publication. All papers will be subject to a thorough peer
review process.
