Second Workshop on Desktop Grids and Volunteer
Computing Systems (PCGrid 2008)
held in conjunction with the IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
(IPDPS)
April 18, 2008
Miami, Florida, U.S.A.
Desktop grids and volunteer computing systems utilize the
free resources available in Intranet and Internet
environments for supporting large-scale computation and
storage. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum
for discussing recent advances and identifying open issues
for the development of scalable, fault-tolerant, and secure
desktop grid systems.
