Grid 2011 - The 12th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid2011)

The 12th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid2011)
Lyon, France
Sep 21 - Sep 23, 2011
http://grid2011.mnm-team.org/
Co-located with the EGI Technical Forum and OGF

Sponsored by:

- The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (pending)

- Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture (pending)

Grid computing enables the sharing of distributed computing and data
resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity
to create a cohesive resource environment for executing distributed
applications. The Grid conference series is an annual international
meeting that brings together a community of researchers, developers,
practitioners, and users involved with Grid technology. The objective
of the meeting is to serve as both the premier venue for presenting
foremost research results in the area and as a forum for introducing
and exploring new concepts. The conference will feature invited talks,
workshops, and refereed paper presentations.

Grid 2011 welcomes paper and poster submissions on innovative work
from researchers in academia, industry and government describing
original research work in grid computing. Previous events in this
series have been successful in attracting high quality papers and a
wide international participation. This event will be co-located with
the EGI Technical Forum.

TECHNICAL PAPERS

Grid 2011 invites authors to submit original papers (not published or
under review elsewhere). Papers should be no more than 8 pages in
length (including diagrams and references) and be submitted as a PDF
file by using the submission system: URL

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper. A separate conference proceedings will
be published and will also be a part of the IEEE Xplore and the CS
digital library. For author instructions visit www.grid2011.org.
