MiDiS 2012 - International workshop on Middleware for large scale Distributed Systems (MiDiS)

The purpose of the workshop is to provide an open forum for researchers from academia and industry to present, discuss, and exchange ideas, results, and expertise in the area of middleware solution for large scale distributed systems. The workshop also aims at stimulating synergies between Grid, P2P, Cloud, and Web-based developer communities.
The focus of this workshop is on new architectures, methods, techniques, protocols, components, services and tools related to the Middleware of Large Scale Distributed Systems (LSDS). These may include, but are not limited to the following topics:
Architectural solutions for Large Scale Distributed Systems (Grid, Cloud, P2P, Web-based)
Models and techniques for data intensive computing
Protocols for High performance communication in LSDS
Monitoring and Control
Distributed resource management in Middleware for LSDS
Scheduling and meta-scheduling
