********************************************************************
Grid computing has become one of the most important topics appeared
and widely developed in the computing field in the last decade. The
research area of grid computing has been making a rapid progress in
the last few years, owing to the increasing number of scientific
applications that are demanding an intensive use of computational
resources, as well as a dynamic and heterogeneous infrastructure to
all these complex applications.
Within this framework,the GADA workshop arised in 2004, as a forum
for researchers in grid computing, whose aim was to extend their
background on this area and more specifically to those that used
grid environments for managing and analysing data.
Both GADA'04 and GADA'05 have been constituted as real successful
events, due to the large number of high-quality papers received
in both editions, as well as the brain-storming of experiences and
ideas interchanged in the associated forums. As final reward for
all this hard work, GADA has been upgraded as a Symposium within
OnTheMove Federated Conferences (OTM'06) and Workshops.
GADA'06 intends to cover a broader set of disciplines, although
grid computing will keep a key role in the set of main topics of
the conference. The objective of grid computing is the complete
integration of heterogeneous computing systems and data resources
with the aim of providing a global computing space. The achievement
of this goal is involving revolutionary changes in the field of
computation, because it enables resource-sharing across networks,
being data one of the most important ones. Thus, data access,
management and analysis within grid and distributed environments
are also dealt as main part of the conference.
Besides the traditional set of topics of GADA, High-performance
and distributed applications are tackled in an explicit manner
within GADA'06. These areas and grid computing have many sinergies,
which can and must be dealt with.
Therefore, the main goal of GADA'06 is to provide a framework in
which a community of researchers, developers and users can exchange
ideas and works related to grid, high-performance and distributed
applications and systems.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Papers submitted to GADA'06 must not have been accepted for publication
elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference.
All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All
submissions
must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed
10 pages in the final camera-ready format. Authors instructions can be
found at:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Failure to comply with the above formatting instructions for submitted
papers
will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review.
The paper submission site is located at:
http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/gada/2006/papers/
Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes
a paper from the proceedings.
Additionally, the best papers of the conference will be invited to submit
revised and extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the
Multiagent and Grid Systems (MAGS) journal:
