CALL FOR PAPERS
The 6th International Workshop on
GLOBAL AND PEER-TO-PEER COMPUTING
(http://GP2PC.lri.fr)
organized at the IEEE/ACM International Symposium
on Cluster Computing and the Grid 2006
IEEE/ACM CCGRID 2006
Singapore, 16-19, May 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
Global Computing systems, Desktop Grids and Peer-to-Peer systems (P2P)
aim to harness Internet-connected resources at a global scale. These
platforms can be built in a predefined, stable, organized fashion (more
like today's Grids) or can be self-organizing, ad-hoc, decentralized,
like P2P systems.
Supporting computation on such systems raises a novel set of questions.
Because of size, autonomy and the high volatility of their resources,
these platforms provide the opportunity to revisit major fields of
distributed computing such as protocols, infrastructures, security,
fault tolerance, scheduling, performance, services, applications, and
incentives for cooperation. Moreover, new issues concerning the
installation, maintenance and scalability of large-scale distributed
systems become more relevant than ever.
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work describing
current research and novel ideas in the area of Global, Desktop Grid and
Peer-to-Peer Computing as well as experiences with the deployment of
related technologies.
TOPICS
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Global Computing, Desktop Grids and Peer-to-Peer platforms
* P2P Merging/Interoperability with Grid standards (WSRF)
* Evaluation of software technologies for Global and P2P networks
* Middleware, programming models, environments and toolkits for Global
and P2P systems
* Protocols for resource management (discovery, reservation, scheduling,
monitoring)
* Networking protocols for high speed data dissemination and collection
* Storage in Global Computing infrastructures (strategies, protocols)
* Computational resource and data management
* Performance measurements, benchmarking, and modeling
* Simulators, emulators and real life testbeds
* Security (trust models, infrastructure)
* Result certification (detection/tolerance of corrupted results)
* Incentives for participation
* Economic considerations of resource usage (protocols, accounting)
* Applications (programmed from scratch, ported from sequential or
parallel implementations, or adapted to fit a global computing environment)
