Interest in Grid computing in Australia and internationally is rapidly growing, driven by real-world applications of increasing scale and complexity. Within Australia there are several grid infrastructures and work is underway to grid-enable applications in areas such as physics, astronomy, chemistry, geoscience, earth sciences and life sciences. Many e-Research initiatives are also underway including the Australian Government Department of Education, Science, and Technology (DEST) National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). Increasingly science, and research in general, cannot be undertaken without sophisticated ICT infrastructure – grid computing and e-Research – this symposium addresses research in these two areas: particular topics of interest include:
- Grid Applications and e-Research
- Grid Computing Middleware and Tools
- Data Grids - Applications, Middleware, Data and Metadata Management and Integration
- Grid Infrastructure - Experiences with Building, Managing and Using Grids
- Grid Portals and Problem-Solving Environments
- Grid Economy
- Web Services
- Semantic Web and Semantic Grid
- Collaboration using the Grid and Access Grids
- Performance Evaluation and Modelling
- Next Generation Grid
The proceedings of the symposium will be published through the Australian Computer Society Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology (CRPIT) series, under the title ACSW Frontiers 2008. The proceedings are included in the ACM digital library. Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 referees. Submitted papers should be at most 10 pages in length and conform to the CRPIT formatting style. Formatting instructions can be found at http://crpit.com/Authors.html Abstracts must be submitted via the symposium web site http://www.fit.qut.edu.au/ausgrid08/ by 26 August 2007. Full papers (in PDF form) should then be submitted by 2 September 2007.
