GRID 2006 Preliminary Call for Papers
=====================================
GRID 2006 the 7th IEEE International Conference on Grid Computing
Barcelona, 28-29 September
www.grid2006.org
The Grid conference series is an anual international meeting that brings
together a community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and users
involved with Grid technology. 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 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 labeled CoreGRID event.

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Grid 2006 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work (also not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).

VLDB Workshop on Data Management in Grids
http://liris.cnrs.fr/~jpierson/DMG_VLDB06/
Co-located with VLDB'06
Seoul, Korea, 10-11 September 2006
****************************************
* DEADLINE : 15 May 2006 *
****************************************
Context :
---------
VLDB'06 (Very Large Data Bases, http://www.vldb.org/) is the 32th Conference
in the series: It is one of the top conferences on the management of data
bases in the world.
This workshop is the second workshop organized at VLDB on the topic of Data
Management in Grids, after the success of the 1st edition in 2005.
Topics of Interest :
--------------------
Since the mid nineties and the emergence of Grids, many research activities
have been initiated in relation to data management in these dynamic,
heterogeneous and cross-organisational environments. The database community
can offer her unique expertise in the management of very large, widely
distributed databases. Conversely, Grids offer a novel and very exciting
field of research for database scientists both in terms of application
domains and fundamental research.
This workshop is intended to bring together these two communities, and thus
to offer a unique workspace for researchers to discuss and exchange ideas
about the emerging challenges and opportunities offered by Data Grids.
Relevant topics for the workshop include all aspects related to the
management of data in a Grid (non-exhaustive
list) :
- Data Access
- Data Interoperability
- Semantic Grids
- Mediation / Negotiation
- Security: access control, policy, privacy
- Authenticity and integrity
- Data Placement: replication, migration
- Data Streams
- Metadata Management
- Indexing
- Query processing
- Caching
- Data Warehouses
- Unique identification of data entities
- Data Definition/Model Management
- Data De-identification
- Data scheduler and data-aware scheduling
- Information sharing
- Information dissemination
- Infrastructure independence for data management
- Federation of data management systems
- Applications dealing with large databases
Submission
----------
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are
not being considered for publication elsewhere.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically as PDF or PS files via email
to : Jean-Marc.Pierson(a)liris.cnrs.fr
Research papers should not exceed 12 pages in length.
They should be formatted using the camera-ready templates of Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
It is foreseen that full papers will be published by Springer in a LNCS
volume (last year workshop was published this way).
At least one author is expected to register for the workshop and present the
work.
Important Dates :
-----------------
Submission deadline : 15 May 2006
Acceptance notification : 23 June 2006
Final paper due : 15 July 2006
