GCIP 2014 - Track on Grid, Cloud, Internet and Peer-to-peer Computing and Communication (GCIP)

The rapid advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware technologies are bringing about the explosive growth of the online applications and services in Internet, and driving Grid and Cloud to be dominating paradigms and platforms for computation and data in academia as well as industry. The social networking services in Internet represent a simplified, managed (and walled-garden) version of the Web, providing identifiability of their participants between each other and serving the large-scale access to huge amounts of user generated content, images, and messages that their users share with their contacts in an efficient way. P2P technology effectively supports Internet Streaming and Content Distribution with high scalability and availability for such services. Grids enable 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, while Clouds provide elastic, on-demand as-a-service access to compute, data, and software resources. The Grid, Cloud, Internet and Peer-to-peer Computing and Communication track of the ICCCN conference aims to the key issues underlying these paradigms, and welcomes paper submissions on innovative work from researchers in academia, industry and government describing original research. Topics of interest range from architectures and enabling technologies, programming models, systems and tools, management structures and policies, performance modeling and management, security and privacy, algorithms, network and storage, applications and experiences, and associated legal, regulatory, and social issues.We solicit original and unpublished research achievements in various aspects of this field, including, but not limited to, the following topics.
