============================================================
International Symposium on
Grid computing, high-performAnce
and Distributed Applications (GADA'06)


Montpellier, France, Oct 29 - Nov 3, 2006

In conjunction with OnTheMove Federated Conferences (OTM'06)
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf


Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag

Grid computing has become one of the most important topics appeared and 
widely developed in
the computing field in the last decade. The research area of grid 
computing has been making
a rapid progress in the last few years, owing to the increasing number 
of scientific applications
that are demanding an intensive use of computational resources, as well 
as a dynamic and
heterogeneous infrastructure to all these complex applications.

Within this framework,the GADA workshop arised in 2004, as a forum for 
researchers in grid
computing, whose aim was to extend their background on this area and 
more specifically to
those that used grid environments for managing and analysing data.

Both GADA'04 and GADA'05 have been constituted as real successful 
events, due to the large
number of high-quality papers received in both editions, as well as the 
brain-storming of
experiences and ideas interchanged in the associated forums. As final 
reward for all this
hard work, GADA has been upgraded as a Symposium within OnTheMove Federated
Conferences (OTM'06) and Workshops.

GADA'06 intends to cover a broader set of disciplines, although grid 
computing will
keep a key role in the set of main topics of the conference. The 
objective of grid
computing is the complete integration of heterogeneous computing systems 
and data
resources with the aim of providing a global computing space. The 
achievement of this
goal is involving revolutionary changes in the field of computation, 
because it enables
resource-sharing across networks, being data one of the most important 
ones. Thus,
data access, management and analysis within grid and distributed 
environments are also
dealt as main part of the conference.

Besides the traditional set of topics of GADA, High-performance and 
distributed applications
are tackled in an explicit manner within GADA'06. These areas and grid 
computing have many
sinergies, which can and must be dealt with.

Therefore, the main goal of GADA'06 is to provide a framework in which a 
community of researchers,
developers and users can exchange ideas and works related to grid, 
high-performance and
distributed applications and systems.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers submitted to GADA'06 must not have been accepted for publication 
elsewhere or
be under review for another workshop or conference.

All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, 
significance,
technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be 
in English.
Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 10 pages in the 
final
camera-ready format. Authors instructions can be found at:

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Failure to comply with the above formatting instructions for submitted 
papers will
lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review.

The paper submission site is located at:

http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/gada/2006/papers/

Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes
a paper from the proceedings.

Additionally, the best papers of the conference will be invited to submit
revised and extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the 
Multiagent and
Grid Systems (MAGS) journal:
