[Apologies for multiple copies.] DEADLINE EXTENDED! =========================================================================== Fourth Workshop on Emerging Technologies for Next generation GRID (ETNGRID-2008) 17th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE-2008) http://etngrid.diit.unict.it Rome, Italy, 23th-25th June 2008 =========================================================================== The Grid was originally designed as a large network of computer systems able to offer an environment where computing and storage resources are shared on-demand. To date, the development of standards, such as the Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA), along with the introduction of new paradigms, such as the Semantic Grid, is leading the Grid toward an environment that is not only suited for computational-intensive applications, but also for computing scenarios typical of distributed systems, like service and information providing, multimedia environments, ubiquitous computing, etc. For these and other reasons, the Grid is becoming an interesting and challenging environment supporting both old and new services for cooperative applications. A relevant research effort is thus needed not only to investigate innovative Grid infrastructures but also to make the current Grid model suitable for these emerging usage scenarios. The objective of this workshop is to gather researchers working on different emerging Grid computing aspects relevant to enterprise collaboration, covering issues ranging from the middleware layer to application development and user interaction. The goals of the workshop include (but are not limited to) discovering new application scenarios, proposing new programming abstractions and tools, identifying the challenging problem that still need to be solved, and reporting results and experiences gained by researchers in building Grid-based middleware, applications and alike. Submission Requirements ----------------------- Participants are expected to submit an original research paper or a position paper, not submitted or published elsewhere, through the EasyChair web site (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=etngrid08). You will require an EasyChair account. If you do not have an EasyChair account, instructions are provided as to how to create one on the EasyChair page for ETNGRID08. Submission should include the title of the paper, the names and affiliations of the authors, a 150-word abstract and at most eight keywords. Submission should follow the IEEE format (single spaced, two columns, 10pt, Times font) and not exceed six pages, including figures. Accepted papers will be published along with the WETICE 2007 post-proceedings. The paper should be in either PS or PDF format. Papers must focus on collaborative aspects of the Grid, including, but not limiting to, the following topics: * Middlewares for the Grid * Multimedia applications with the Grid * Reflective and Aspect-Oriented Grid systems * Reliability and Quality-of-Service aspects * Wireless and ubiquitous access to the Grid * Cooperative Agents and the Grid * Grids and Peer-to-peer systems * Web integration with the Grid * Peer-to-peer and self-organizing approaches for the Grid * Abstractions and tools for collaborative application development in Grid environments * Semantic Grid * Experience reports on collaborative application development in Grid * Scalability and Performance issues in the Grid * Analysis of stability and bottlenecks for Grid applications * Resource-aware applications in the Grid * Architectures for Grid-oriented applications * Security and Verification Issues in Large Distributed Systems Important Dates --------------- * Paper Submission: March _17_, 2008 * Notification of Acceptance: April 21, 2008 * Camera Ready Paper Due: May 26, 2008 Program Co-Chairs ----------------- Angelo Corsaro, Prismtech, France Antonella Di Stefano, Dept. of Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, Engineering Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Giuseppe Pappalardo, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Catania, ITALY Corrado Santoro, Dept. of Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, Engineering Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Emiliano Tramontana, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Catania, ITALY Publicity Co-Chair ------------------ Giovanni Morana, Dept. of Computer and Telecommunication Engineering, Engineering Faculty, University of Catania, ITALY Luigi Toscano, Dept. of Computer Science and Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Catania, ITALY Program Committee Members ------------------------------------------------ Mauro Andreolini ........
