WETICE 2011 track on Convergence of Distributed Clouds, Grids and their
Management  to  be held in Paris (June 27-29) has already received some
interesting papers.They include papers on new computing models, Clouds,
Grids, their management and also some proofs of concept demonstrations.
The Proceedings will be published by the IEEE CS Press and  distributed
at the conference. All published papers are refereed.

The goals of the conference include (but are not limited to):

    * Discovering new application scenarios, proposing new operating
      systems, programming abstractions and tools
   
    * Identifying  the  challenging  problem that still need to be solved
      such as parallel programming, scaling and management of distributed
      computing elements, and
  
    * Reporting results and experiences gained by researchers in building
      dynamic  Grid-based  middleware,  computing  clouds (distributed or
      otherwise) and workflow management systems.

Various deadlines to participate in the conference are as follows:

    * Paper submissions deadline: March 5, 2011
    * Decision to paper authors: April 4, 2011
    * Camera Ready papers to IEEE: April 29, 2011
    * WETICE-2011 conference: June 27-29, 2011

All papers submitted will be reviewed by peers and selected papers will
be published in WETICE2011 Conference Proceedings by IEEE.

                            Eighth Workshop on
 
       Emerging Technologies for Next generation GRID (ETNGRID-2011)
 
        20th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies:
        Infrastructures for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE-2011)

       June 27 - 29, 2011, Institut TELECOM, SudParis - Paris(France)
 
============================================================
 

The Grid  was originally  designed as a  large network of  computer systems
able  to offer  an environment  where computing  and storage  resources are
shared on-demand.
 
To  date, the  development  of standards,  such  as the  Open Grid  Service
Architecture (OGSA), along with the  introduction of new paradigms, such as
the Semantic  Grid, is leading the  Grid toward an environment  that is not
only  suited   for  computational-intensive  applications,   but  also  for
computing  scenarios  typical  of  distributed systems,  like  service  and
information providing, multimedia environments, ubiquitous computing, etc.
 
For  these and  other  reasons, the  Grid  is becoming  an interesting  and
challenging  environment   supporting  both   old  and  new   services  for
cooperative  applications. A relevant  research effort  is thus  needed not
only to  investigate innovative Grid  infrastructures but also to  make the
current Grid model suitable for these emerging usage scenarios.
 
The  objective  of  this  workshop  is to  gather  researchers  working  on
different   emerging  Grid   computing  aspects   relevant   to  enterprise
collaboration,  covering  issues  ranging  from  the  middleware  layer  to
application  development and user  interaction. The  goals of  the workshop
include  (but are not  limited to)  discovering new  application scenarios,
proposing   new  programming  abstractions   and  tools,   identifying  the
challenging problem that still need to be solved, and reporting results and
experiences  gained  by  researchers  in  building  Grid-based  middleware,
applications and alike.
 
 
Submission Requirements
-----------------------
 
Participants  are  expected to  submit  an  original  research paper  or  a
position  paper,  not  submitted   or  published  elsewhere,  by  email  to
<etn...@diit.unict.it>  or  by  EasyChair  web  submission form (available
at http://etngrid.diit.unict.it/SubmissionETNGRID.html). Submission  should 
include the title of the paper, the names and affiliations of the  authors,
a 150-word abstract and at most eight keywords.  Submission  should  follow
the  IEEE  format  (single  spaced,  two columns, 10pt, Times font) and not
exceed six pages, including figures. Accepted papers will be published along
with  the  WETICE 2011  proceedings (IEEE - pending approval).  The   paper
should be in either PS or PDF format.
 
Papers must focus on collaborative  aspects of the Grid, including, but not
limiting to, the following topics:
 
    * Middlewares for the Grid
 
    * Multimedia applications with the Grid
 
    * Reflective and Aspect-Oriented Grid systems
 
    * Reliability and Quality-of-Service aspects
 
    * Wireless and ubiquitous access to the Grid
 
    * Cooperative Agents and the Grid
 
    * Grids and Peer-to-peer systems
 
    * Web integration with the Grid
 
    * Peer-to-peer and self-organizing approaches for the Grid
 
    * Abstractions and tools for collaborative application development in
      Grid environments
 
    * Semantic Grid
 
    * Experience reports on collaborative application development in Grid
 
    * Scalability and Performance issues in the Grid
 
    * Analysis of stability and bottlenecks for Grid applications
