Previous Meetings

Scope and Interests: 

Grid computing research focuses on building a large-scale computing infrastructure by linking computing facilities at many distributed locations. By analogy with the electric power Grids, such systems are known as computational Grids. Significant effort has been spent in the design and implementation of middleware software for enabling computational Grids. These software packages have been successfully deployed and it is now possible to build clusters beyond the boundaries of a single local area network. However, the challenging problem of dynamically allocating resources in response to application requests for computational services remains unsolved. Adaptive middleware is software that resides between the application and the computer operating system and enables an application to adapt to changing availability of computing and networking resources.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide an open forum for researchers from hardware and software areas to present, discuss, and exchange research-related ideas, results, and experiences in the area of adaptive middleware for computational Grids. 

Possible topics include, but are not limited to: 

• Hardware/software co-designs
• Languages, compilers, and libraries
• Programming environments
• Distributed resource management systems
• Self-optimizing software systems
• Automatic performance optimization 
• Remote steering and visualization
• Fault-tolerance and replication designs
• Grid-aware clusters
• Knowledge based systems
• Load balancing and load sharing
• Mapping, scheduling and synchronization
• Modeling, simulation and evaluation techniques
• Adaptive parallel applications


Paper Submission and Publication:

 

AGridM2004 invites authors to submit papers on original and unpublished work in either PS or PDF format via email at wrivera@ece.uprm.edu. Manuscripts must not exceed 8 pages in camera-ready form (8.5x11 inch pages) and should be written in standard IEEE format for conference proceedings. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register the conference. All submissions will be refereed. Proceedings will be published by a professional publisher(details under negotation).
