FYI: Due to several requests for an extension, the deadline is extended to July 29th, 2007. -------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS International Grid Interoperability and Interoperation Workshop 2007 (IGIIW 2007) Bangalore, India, December 10th - 13th (1 day), 2007 http://omii-europe.org/OMII-Europe/igiiw2007.html to be held in conjunction with 3rd IEEE - Int. Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing 2007 Bangalore, India, December 10th -- 13th, 2007 http://www.escience2007.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE The workshop will discuss the interoperability and interoperation aspects of current Grid and Web technologies, production Grid infrastructures in general, and the interoperability through emerging open standards in particular. In the context of this workshop, the difference between interoperability and interoperation is as follows: Interoperation is specifically defined as what needs to be done to get production Grid infrastructures (e.g. DEISA, EGEE, TeraGrid, OSG) to work together as a fast short-term achievement using as much existing technologies as available today. Hence, this is not the perfect solution and different than interoperability that is defined as the native ability of Grids and Grid middleware (UNICORE, gLite, Globus Toolkit) to interact directly via well defined interfaces and common open standards. This will enable cross-Grid use cases and applications from a growing range of domains in industry and science. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of interoperability and interoperation within Grid infrastructures and distributed environments, to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results as well as open problems. Enough time for intensive discussions will be provided and outcomes of the workshop will be summarized in the session. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Cross-Grid scientific and business applications * Grid system components that enable interoperability/interoperation * Boundaries and open problems related to interoperability/interoperation * Scientific/business scenarios for Grid interoperability/interoperation * Cross-Grid brokering and workflows, semantics and languages * Security challenges/solutions for Grid interoperability/interoperation * Management & monitoring of interoperable/interoperating Grids * Visualizations for applications of more than one Grid environment * Grid middleware interoperability/interoperation * Roadmaps of Grid technologies for interoperability/interoperation * Performance evaluation of interoperable/interoperating Grid components * Reliability & fault-tolerance during interoperability/interoperation * Autonomic behavior in Grid interoperability/interoperation PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
