       The Third Grid Applications and Middleware Workshop

         with special emphasis on Scientific Workflows

   Grid Applications and Middleware Workshop 2007, Gdansk, Poland (GAMW'2007)

                       in conjunction with the

7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS PPAM 2007

Gdansk, Poland, September 9-12, 2007

=====================================================================================================

The Applications and Middleware Grid Workshop in Gdansk, POLAND, is the third workshop in the

series with special attention this year on scientific workflows. It seeks to provide a bridge

between the application community, developers and directors of grid policies and infrastructures.

The Workshop results will provide input to middleware and infrastructure developers.

The goals of this workshop are:

- To provide a forum for exchanging the ideas between the grid application users, application

  developers and grid middleware developers

- To identify the key application requirements and scenarios on the grid

- To gather/spread the information about tools, toolkits and other mechanisms for grid

  application users and developers

- To broaden the grid community by encouraging new users to use the grid technologies.

We are looking for papers from different areas of grid computing, especially those concerned

with workflows, collaborative environments on the grid and applications.

Suggested topics for papers and posters include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Workflows, application representations

- Collaborative Environments on the Grid

- Grid Application Toolkits and Frameworks

- Experience in both, converting existing applications and designing new applications to run

  on the grid

- Data management

- Experience on the characteristics of applications or particular application software that

  make them well suited for the grid, like checkpoint/restart functionality in grids, new

  challenges in data/information management

- Application requirements for grid middleware and fabric infrastructures, including networks
