                         CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                        ************************

OVERVIEW:

Advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware technologies
are leading to new paradigms and platforms for computing, ranging from
computing Clusters to widely distributed Grids and Clouds.  Cluster
computing continues to be a key resource for high-performance computing,
and a fundamental element in grid and cloud computing deployments.  Grid
computing has effectively addressed many integration, security, and
heterogeneity aspects arising from larger-scale virtual organizations.
The cloud computing paradigm promises on-demand scalability, reliability,
and cost-effective high-performance.

CCGrid is a series of successful conferences, sponsored by the IEEE
Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and
ACM, with the overarching goal of bringing together international
researchers, developers, and users and to provide an international forum
to present leading research activities and results on a broad range of
topics related to these platforms and paradigms and their applications.
The conference features keynotes, technical presentations, posters,
demos, workshops, panels, and tutorials, as well as the SCALE challenge
featuring live demonstrations.

In 2011, CCGrid will return to the U.S.A., where it was last held in 2004.
CCGrid 2011 will have a special focus on four important and immediate
issues that are significantly influencing all aspects of Cluster, Cloud
and Grid Computing: Adaptive Elastic Computing, Green Computing,
Virtualization, and GP-GPU Computing. These aspects will be covered in a
number of technical sessions, keynotes, tutorials, workshops and panels:
