GPC 2013 - The 8th International Conference on Grid and Pervasive Computing (GPC 2013)

Grid and Pervasive Computing covers research issues and challenges in the field of computer science and engineering in areas of grid and pervasive computing. Grid computing connects computer resources from multiple domains for solving computationally complex scientific, technical or business problems in a distributed fashion. Pervasive computing aims at creating computationaldevices and systems that will blend into environment to support everyday human activities via natural human computer interaction.
GPC 2013 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from interested communities of grid computing and pervasive computing to explore ideas and solutions to challenges in the areas of grid and pervasive computing. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers with the following topics, but not limited to
Cloud, cluster and grid computing
