Grid computing, high-performAnce and Distributed Applications (GADA'06) Montpellier, France, Nov 2 - Nov 3, 2006 http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/gada2006cfp.html In conjunction with OnTheMove Federated Conferences (OTM'06) http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag |
Grid computing has become one of the most important topics appeared and widely developed in the computing field in the last decade. The research area of grid computing has been making a rapid progress in the last few years, owing to the increasing number of scientific applications that are demanding an intensive use of computational resources, as well as a dynamic and heterogeneous infrastructure to all these complex applications.
Within this framework,the GADA workshop arised in 2004, as a forum for researchers in grid computing, whose aim was to extend their background on this area and more specifically to those that used grid environments for managing and analysing data.
Both GADA'04 and GADA'05 have been constituted as real successful events, due to the large number of high-quality papers received in both editions, as well as the brain-storming of experiences and ideas interchanged in the associated forums. As final reward for all this hard work, GADA has been upgraded as a Conference within OnTheMove Federated Conferences (OTM'06) and Workshops.
GADA'06 intends to cover a broader set of disciplines, although grid computing will keep a key role in the set of main topics of the conference. The objective of grid computing is the complete integration of heterogeneous computing systems and data resources with the aim of providing a global computing space. The achievement of this goal is involving revolutionary changes in the field of computation, because it enables resource-sharing across networks, being data one of the most important ones. Thus, data access, management and analysis within grid and distributed environments are also dealt as main part of the conference.
Besides the traditional set of topics of GADA, High-performance and distributed applications are tackled in an explicit manner within GADA'06. These areas and grid computing have many sinergies, which can and must be dealt with.
Therefore, the main goal of GADA'06 is to provide a framework in which a community of researchers, developers and users can exchange ideas and works related to grid, high-performance and distributed applications and systems.
