CALL FOR PAPERS

SCOPE

 Global computing systems aim to harness Internet-connected resources at a global scale. A global computing platform can be built in a predefined, stable, organized fashion (more like today's Grids) or can be self-organizing, ad-hoc, decentralized, like in Peer-to-Peer systems.

Supporting computation on such systems raises a novel set of questions. Because of size, autonomy and the high volatility of their resources, Global Computing and P2P platforms provide the opportunity to revisit major fields of distributed computing: protocols, infrastructures, security, fault tolerance, scheduling, performance, services, applications, incentives for cooperation, etc. Moreover, new issues concerning installation, utilization, flexibility and scalability become more relevant than ever.

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work describing current research and novel ideas in the area of Global and Peer-to-Peer Computing as well as experiences with the deployment of Global and Peer-to-Peer Computing technologies. Papers whose contributions are supported by experimental or theoretical evaluations are strongly encouraged.
 

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

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

Paper submission

We invite you to submit a full paper of up to 8 pages in IEEE format (10pt font, two-column, single-spaced).
