First International Workshop on
Active and Programmable
Grids Architectures and Components

SCOPE

Next Generation Girds architectures should support dynamic, reconfigurable on-demand, secure and highly customizable computing, storage and networking environments. In opposite to the existing grid architectures relaying on rather static services, the new grids architecture could exploit active, programmable grids (computational, storage, networking) resources and components. The active and programmable grids architecture may be seen as an extension of the active networks paradigm to grid systems. It aims at providing easy introduction of new services by adding dynamic programmability to the grid resources. Such approach has only recently received attention. The goal of this workshop, to be held in conjunction with the ICCS 2004 conference, is to bring together researchers interested in all aspects of active grid resources services, and programmability concept application to a new grid middleware design and implementation.


TOPIC

Suggested topics for submitted papers include, but are not limited:

  • Programmable grid models, architectures, components and environments,
  • Peer-to-Peer Grid architectures and systems,
  • Active Peer-to-Peer Grid architecture and systems,
  • Overlay Virtual Grids,
  • Self-adapting, self-configurable, self-manageable grids,
  • Active and programmable grids components and environments,
  • Active grids management,
  • Applications and services for active grids, systems and environments,
  • Implementation of active grids infrastructure and middleware components,
  • Experiences and evaluation,

    SUBMISSION

    Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers describing original, unpublished research or experience. Submitted papers should be at most 8 pages in length. Submission must adhere to the Springer-Verlag instructions for authors. Use of LaTeX2e is recommended. All papers must be written in English and will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper at the workshop. Accepted papers will be printed in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A selected number of papers will also be published as special issues of appropriate journals. In order to comply with the publisher's requirements, authors of accepted papers will be asked to provide all source files (e.g. LaTeX2e files for text and EPS files for figures), and the PDF version of the paper, if possible. Please submit your paper by the deadline via web-site: http://iccs2004.cs.agh.edu.pl.
