Workshop Overview
With the increasing interest devoted to grid computing and large clusters, large-scale computing is becoming once more a key topic in the system arena. Actually, current technology and needs are pushing the concept of large-scaling much further than ever before and new solutions need to be researched and applied.
The objective of the workshop is to gather people working on large-scale computing. For this reason, we will organize it with a mixture of invited speakers that are leaders (or key participants) of significant projects in the area, traditional research papers, and larger attendant participation (more time for discussion).
We seek high-quality submissions that further the knowledge and understanding of large-scale computing, with an emphasis on implementations and experimental results. Specific topics of interest (ordered alphabetically) include but are not limited to:
