Call-For-Papers
Special Issue of the
Journal of Parallel Distributed Computing:
Computational Grids
submission deadline: April 1, 2002
Computational Grids are an enabling technology that permit the transparent
coupling of geographically-dispersed resources (machines, networks,
data storage, visualization devices, and scientific instruments) for
large-scale distributed applications. Grids provide several
important benefits for users and applications: convenient interfaces
to remote resources, resource coupling for resource-intensive distributed
applications and remote collaboration, and resource sharing. Research
in this burgeoning area embodies the confluence of high-performance parallel
computing, distributed computing, and Internet computing, attracting
successful research from all three disciplines. Initial application
domains targeting the Grid come from science and engineering yielding
strong empirical and quantitative results. In addition, NSF's TeraGrid
effort, which seeks to leverage these successes to enable its Distributed
Terascale Facility, will certainly encourage significant new research in
Grid computing to serve the scientific communities. Many challenges must
be confronted for Grids to achieve their potential.
This special issue of the Journal Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC)
is seeking original unpublished research articles that describe recent
advances in Computational Grids. Topics of interests include, but are not
limited to: Grid architectures (including P2P), Grid building blocks, Grid
and Internet security, Grid fault tolerance, Grid scheduling and
resource management, Grid programming models and tools, Grid access and
interface, and Grid applications. Papers should not be solely abstract or
conceptual in nature: proofs and experimental results should be included as
appropriate. Submit 5 hard copies of the manuscript to one of the co-guest
editors at the addresses below or by electronic submission to the website
http://www.cs.umn.edu/~jon/jpdc
Authors should follow the JPDC manuscript format as described in the
"Information for Authors" at the end of each issue of JPDC. Authors should
submit their papers by April 1, 2002.
The review decision will be communicated to the authors by August 1, 2002.
The journal version will be reviewed as per JPDC review process for
special issues.
Authors are encouraged to submit their paper electronically to either
one of the co-guest editors. Electronic submissions must be in the form
of a readable postscript file. Authors should submit a correct
PostScript (level 2) file of their paper to be considered and make
sure that the PostScript file will print on a PostScript printer that
uses 8.5 x 11 inch size (letter size) paper. Hard copy submissions are
also permitted and, like electronic submissions, must be received by the
above deadline. Send five copies of the manuscript one of the
co-guest editors.
