CALL FOR PARTICIPATION GRIDNETS 2006 ************************************ www.gridnets.org Co-located with IEEE Communications Society/Create-Net Broadnets 2006 San Jose, California, USA, October 1-2, 2006 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ********************** IEEE Communications Society/Create-Net workshop GridNets is an international workshop focusing on networks for Grid Application. Please visit the website for details : http://www.gridnets.org Grid developers and practitioners are increasingly realizing the importance of an efficient network support. Entire classes of applications would greatly benefit by a network-aware Grid middleware, able to effectively manage the network resource in terms of scheduling, access and use. Conversely, the peculiar requirements of Grid applications provide stimulating drivers for new challenging research towards the development of Grid-aware networks. Preliminary program: ------------------- ** Keynote speeches ** by Mathieu Goutelle from EGEE project Michiaki Hayashi from KDDI Labs Session "Network service provisioning system for Grid applications" End to End Bandwidth Allocation and Reservation for Grid applications TeraPaths: End-To-End Network Path QoS Configuration Using Cross-Domain Reservation Negotiation Lambda Station: On-Demand Flow Based Routing for Data Intensive Grid Applications over Multitopology Networks Intra and Interdomain Circuit Provisioning Using the OSCARS Reservation System Session "Network monitoring and performance measurement" Federated Network Performance Monitoring for the Grid Transparent Optimization of Grid Server Selection With Real-Time Passive Network Measurements Evaluation of network distance properties: NDS the Network Distance Service XIOPerf : A Tool For Evaluating Network Protocols Session "Grid resource reservation: model and algorithm" Grid Resource Management by means of Ant Colony Optimization Triumph of the Bandwidth Commons: Elastic Reservations, Price Incentives, and Request Realignment in LambdaGrids Graded Channel Reservation with Path Switching in Ultra High Capacity Networks A Flexible Advance Reservation Model for Multi-domain WDM Optical Networks A Dynamic Data Grid Replication Strategy to Minimize the Data Missed Session "New architecture" The Design and Demonstration of the Ultralight Network Testbed Grid services over IP Multimedia Subsystem An Integrated Accounting and Charging Architecture for Mobile Grids A Hybrid Optical Burst/Circuit Switched Ingress Edge Router for Grid-enabled Optical Networks Industry panel Tutorial "Grid InterNetworking" by Michael Welzl The final program consists of 17 high quality papers representing the latest advances in the above fields.
