The 11th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid2010)
Brussels, Belgium
Oct 24 – Oct 29, 2010
http://www.grid2010.org/
Co-located with Open Grid Forum (OGF30)

Sponsored by:
The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing
(final approval pending)

Grid computing enables the sharing of distributed computing and data resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity to create a cohesive resource environment for executing distributed applications. The Grid conference series is an annual international meeting that brings together a community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and user involved with Grid technology. The objective of the meeting is to serve as both the premier venue for presenting
foremost research results in the area and as a forum for introducing and exploring new concepts. The conference will feature invited talks, workshops, and refereed paper presentations.

Grid 2010 welcomes paper and poster submissions on innovative work from researchers in academia, industry and government describing original research work in grid computing. Previous events in this series have been successful in attracting high quality papers and a wide international participation. This event will be co-located with the Open Grid Forum event (OGF30).
