CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

SCOPE

Global Computing and Peer-to-Peer systems allow running distributed computations and exchange document/data files on many devices, which can be flexibly and dynamically connected with each other via industry and university level networks or via the Internet.

Because of size, autonomy and high volatility of their resources, Global Computing and P2P platforms provide the opportunity for researchers to revisit major fields of Distributed computing: protocols, infrastructures, security, certification, fault tolerance, scheduling, performance, etc. Moreover, new issues concerning installation, utilization, flexibility and scalability are raised by the current trend for the convergence of Grid and P2P systems.

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work describing current research and novel ideas in the area of Global and P2P Computing as well as applications from science and industry that demonstrate how Global and Peer-to-Peer Computing technology can be effectively deployed.
 

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

*  Global Computing and Peer-to-Peer computing platforms
*  P2P Merging / Interoperability with Grid systems (OGSA/I)
*  Software technologies evaluation: Web Services, Grid services
*  Middleware, programming models, environments and toolkits
*  Protocols for resource management/discovery/reservation/scheduling
*  Economic considerations of resource usage (protocols, accounting)
*  Storage in Global Computing Infrastructures (strategies, protocols)
*  Performance monitoring, benchmarking, evaluation and modeling of
   Global Computing and Peer-to-Peer systems and/or components thereof
*  Security, management and monitoring of resources
*  Result certification (detection/tolerance of corrupted results)
*  Parallel computing on large scale distributed systems
*  Compute & I/O driven applications (scientific, engineering, business)
*  Global and P2P computing applications (programmed from scratch,
   ported from sequential, or parallel version, adaptations to fit
   a global computing environment)
