Grid2006, 7th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing, Barcelona, 28-29 September 2006

The Grid 2006 Conference, which features keynote talks, panel, peer reviewed papers presentations, and posters, serves as both the premier conference presenting best Grid research and a forum where new concepts can be introduced and explored. This year the Conference will be co-located with the 2006 Cluster conference.

The Grid conference series is an annual international meeting that brings together a community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and users involved in Grid technology. The objective of the meeting is to serve as both the premier conference presenting best Grid research and a forum where new concepts can be introduced and explored.
 
For this, our seventh event, we will convene our first meeting as a conference and this year we will be co-located with the 2006 Cluster conference. The Grid 2006 Conference features keynote talks, panel, peer reviewed papers presentations, and posters.

The program kicks off with a keynote from Malcolm Atkinson (Director of National e-Science Centre, UK) on e-Science foundations. Other invited presentations will be given by Wolfgang Boch, from the European Commission, about the EU Grid research, and by  sponsors CoreGRID and IBM (LA Grid project). An exciting panel, which is led by Mark Linesch (Chair, Open Grid Forum=Global Grid Forum+Enterprise Grid Alliance), evaluates the perspectives of Grid standards.

The Grid 2006 conference received papers from 33 countries around the world.
The conference sessions features 38 excellent papers, which are competitively selected  (20% acceptance rate). They are organised into the following sessions:
Grid Workflow, Data Services and Scheduling, Data Resource Allocation,
