CALL FOR PARTICPATION
***************************

*** Registration is Open. ***
*** Take advantage of the Early Registration Rates until April 9/2012 ***

Overview:
Rapid advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware
technologies are leading to new paradigms and platforms for computing,
ranging from computing Clusters to widely distributed Grid and
emerging Clouds. CCGrid is a series of very successful conferences,
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable
Computing (TCSC) and ACM, with the overarching goal of bringing
together international researchers, developers, and users and to
provide an international forum to present leading research activities
and results on a broad range of topics related to these platforms and
paradigms and their applications. The conference features keynotes,
technical presentations, posters and research demos, workshops,
tutorials, as well as the SCALE challenges featuring live
demonstrations.

In 2012, CCGrid will come to Canada for the first time and will be
held in Ottawa, the capital city.  The symposium will be held on
May 13-16 during which the city will be celebrating its world-famous Tulip
Festival.

CCGrid 2012 will have a focus on important and immediate issues that are
significantly influencing all aspects of cluster, cloud and grid computing.
Topics discussed in the technical sessions include: Applications and 
Experiences;
Architecture: System architectures, Design and deployment; Autonomic 
Computing
and Cyberinfrastructure; Performance Modeling and Evaluation; Programming
Models, Systems, and Fault-Tolerant Computing; Multicore and 
Accelerator-based
Computing; Scheduling and Resource Management; Cloud Computing: Cloud
architectures; Software tools and techniques for clouds.
