The objective of the meeting is to serve as both the premier conference presenting best Grid research and a forum where new concepts can be introduced and explored. The previous events in this series were: Grid 2000, Bangalore, India; Grid 2001, Denver; Grid 2002, Baltimore; Grid 2003, Phoenix; Grid 2004, Pittsburgh; and the sixth event, Grid 2005 in Seattle. All of these events have been successful in attracting high quality papers and a wide international participation. Last year's event attracted about 400 registered participants. From the second event through the sixth, we have been known i as the Grid Workshop affiliated with the Supercomputing SC conference series. For this, our seventh event, we will convene our first meeting as a conference and this year we will be co-located with the 2006 Cluster conference. The proceedings of the first three workshops were published by Springer-Verlag, and the proceedings of the three most recent workshops were published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. We expect this year's proceedings will join those of the last three years in the IEEE Computer Society's Digital Library. Grid 2006 has been labelled a CoreGRID event. SCOPE ====== Grid 2006 topics of interest (in no particular order) include, but are not limited to: * Internet-based Computing Models * Applications, including eScience and eBusiness Applications * Distributed and Large-Scale Data Access and Management * Middleware and Toolkits * Monitoring, Management and Organization Tools * Resource Management and Scheduling * Networking * Virtual Instrumentation * Metadata, Ontologies, and Provenance * Creation and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations * Architectures and Fabrics * Information Services * Security Issues * Programming Models, Tools, and Environments * Grid Economy * Autonomic and Utility Computing on Global Grids * Performance Evaluation and Modeling * Cluster and Grid Integration Issues * Scientific, Industrial and Social Implications Technical Papers ================ Grid 2006 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work (also not submitted elsewhere for review) reporting solid and innovative results in any aspect of grid computing and its applications. Papers should not exceed 8 single-spaced pages of text using 10-point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch paper (see IEEE author instructions, a LaTeX style sheet and Word format is available, too). All bibliographical references, tables, and figures must be included in these 8 pages. Submissions that exceed the 8-page limit will not be reviewed. Authors should submit a PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Proceedings: All papers selected for this conference are peer- reviewed and will be published as a separate proceedings. After the event, the papers will also be published in the IEEE Xplore and the CS digital library. For author instructions see http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm Special Issue: The best 6 to 8 papers from the conference will be selected for journal length extension and their publication in a special issue of the Future Generation Computing Systems (FGCS). Important Dates =============== 1 March 2006 Paper submission site open 7 April 2006 Full paper submission due 14 April 2006 Last date for paper updates before review process 9 June 2006 Acceptance notification 1 July 2006 Camera-ready copy due 28-29 Sept 2006 Conference Conference Organization ======================= General co-Chairs Andrew Grimshaw, University of Virginia, USA Rosa M.
