The last decade has seen a substantial increase
in commodity computer and network performance. Increasingly,
computing addresses collaboration, cycle and data sharing and
other modes of interaction involving distributed resources.
Grid computing is an emerging technology that enables large-scale
sharing of widely distributed resources and coordinated problem-solving
and collaboration between groups of scientists.
The
1st Workshop on Grid Computing & Applications was
successfully held in conjunction with International Conference
on Science & Engineering Computation (IC-SEC) from
30 June to 1 July 2004. A total of 22 papers submitted
by authors
from Australia, China, Thailand, UK, USA, and Singapore
were presented over the two-day workshop. This
year’s workshop continues the
tradition of providing a forum for discussion among
researchers, developers,
and
users of grid computing from academia, business and industry.
The workshop focuses on grid computing and its applications
in science and engineering. Original papers concerned
with both theory and practice are solicited. Topics of
interest
include but are not limited to:
- Problem
solving environments, workflow and development
tools
- Grid
programming models, languages, debugging and compilation
techniques for grid computing
- Grid
Tools, Middleware & Fabrics
- Scheduling & resource
management
- Grid
applications and system solutions in science and
engineering
- Novel
uses of grid computing concepts and technologies
- Grid
Security
