Middleware2003 X 1st International Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing
Co-located with Middleware 2003
Tuesday, June 17, 2003
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    Description: As network performance has outpaced computational power and storage capacity, a new paradigm has evolved to enable the sharing and coordinated use of geographically distributed resources. This paradigm is popularly known as Grid computing and aims to couple distributed resources offering consistent and inexpensive access to resources irrespective of their physical location. Grid computing provides scalable and secure remote access to computing, data, and other resources throughout the Internet. These new technologies enable the clustering of a wide variety of geographically distributed resources, such as supercomputers, storage systems, data sources, and special devices and services, that can then be used as a unified resource.

    Much of the focus of the Grid to date has been within research organizations. As the power of grid technologies becomes apparent, however, commercial parties are also increasing their level of participation. That leads to a greater focus on integration with commercial computing models and more work on the security and resource management models required for automated and secure access negotiation for remote resources. In order to control such a broad base of resources, Grid Computing has a Middleware layer which controls the distributed execution of applications.

    Objective: This workshop focuses on Grid Systems from a middleware perspective, bringing together the different middleware traditions, as the classic Grid Middleware research, the Object-Oriented or Component Middleware, and the Service-Oriented Middleware (Open Grid Service Architecture / Web services).

    The Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

    All selected papers for this workshop will be peer-reviewed and published in a workshop proceedings.
    Some contributions to this workshop will be selected for the special issue of the " Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience" Journal.

    Submissions could be as full papers presenting complete experiences and surveys, or as short (position) papers presenting ongoing activities. Full (short) papers should not exceed 12 (6) single-spaced pages of text using 10 point size type on A4 paper. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Papers should be in English. Electronic only submission.

    Papers will be presented as technical presentations or poster presentations.
