CFP: Special Issue of Scientific Programming devoted to Grid Computing.


Call for Papers

Special Issue of Scientific Programming Journal devoted to Grid
Computing.

Grid computing has been steadily gaining acceptance as a feasible
solution 
to solving large-scale problems that require the sharing of
geographically 
distributed resources belonging to different organizations. Grids bring 
together widely distributed storage systems, computing platforms, 
instrumentation, and visualization engines. As such they have been used
in 
a wide range of applications such as large-scale scientific codes, 
distributed simulations, tele-immersive environments, remote 
instrumentation control and visualization etc…

The Grid has not only the potential to support a wide range of
applications 
by linking computers together but also to bring together data and
knowledge 
distributed among many organizations and people, thus answering many of
the 
open scientific questions. This vision of the Grid is shared among and
has 
the support of many governments in Europe, Japan and the US.

Although, many Grid technologies have been developed over the past few 
years, the ultimate success of the Grid will depend on providing the 
ability to easily develop and run grid applications. Thus, developing
Grid 
technologies has become a major effort which brings together researchers
in 
all areas of computer science, such as high performance computing, 
distributed systems, networking, security, operating systems,
information 
systems, databases, algorithms etc…

In light of the importance of the Grid computing environment, this
special 
issue of Scientific Programming  journal 
(http://www.iospress.nl/site/html/10589244.html) will be devoted to the 
development and use of Grid tools and applications.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

·	Software environments and language support
·	Application frameworks
·	Grid component technology
·	Software engineering development methodologies
·	Debugging and performance tools
·	Support for data intensive applications
·	Applications and case studies
·	Quality of service, resource reservation strategies
·	Grid application performance

The schedule for this special issue is as follows:

Paper submission: March 30, 2001
All reviews back: June 15, 2001
All revisions back: August 1, 2001
Final notification: August 15, 2001
Publication date: Fall 2001

Authors should follow the Information for Authors at 
http://www.iospress.nl/site/navfr/authcofr.html. An electronic copy of
the 
manuscript, in Postscript format should be submitted via electronic mail
to 
deelman@isi.edu by March 15, 2001. Submission should include authors
names, 
affiliations, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses on the cover
page.

Only original manuscripts, which have not been submitted elsewhere, will
be 
considered for publication. All papers will be subject to a thorough
peer 
review process.
