Submission Deadline: June 30, 2008 (Extended)!

***********************************************************************
Topics：

Recent years have seen rapid advances in various grid-related
technologies, grid middleware as well as grid applications. The GCC
conference has become one of the world-wide largest scientific events
in the area of grid and cooperative computing. The 7th international
conference on grid and cooperative computing (GCC2008) is to be held
Oct. 24-26, 2008 in Shenzhen, China. Shenzhen is situated in the
southern province of Guangdong, which borders Hong Kong.

GCC2008 is to cater for a stimulating forum for researchers and
practitioners in related fields, where people get together to
exchange
ideas, experiences and up-to-date technological advances. Hereby, we
call for submission of papers that are related to various aspects of
grid and cooperative computing.

The main topics of interest include, but not limited to:

- Theory of grid computing


- Service-oriented foundation of grid computing


- Peer-to-Peer Computing


- Novel grid architectures


- Service Computing Technologies & Applications


- Cooperative system, architecture and algorithms


- High Performance Computing and Network Communications


- Parallel & Distributed Architectures, Applications and Algorithms


- Distributed and Large-Scale Data Access and Management


- Grid middleware


- Resource organization and management for grid computing


- Empirical study of real-world applications or industrial case
studies


- Resource virtualization for grid computing


- Grid workflow and service composition


- Grid usage models and portal tools


- Grid programming models and environments


- Engineering Approaches to grid applications


- Semantic basis for grid computing


- Grid interoperability


- Grid monitoring and accounting


- Quality of services, performance and deployment issues


- Security, dependability, survivability and reliability issues in
grid computing


- Domain-specific approaches to grid engineering


- Software engineering support for grid and cooperative computing

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.
Selected papers will be considered for publication in International
Journal of Grid and Utility Computing (IJGUC), International Journal
of Web Services Research (JWSR), and International Transactions on
