Grid and Pervasive Computing covers research issues and challenges in the field of computer science and engineering in areas of grid and pervasive computing. Grid computing connects computer resources from multiple domains for solving computationally complex scientific, technical or business problems in a distributed fashion. Pervasive computing aims at creating computational devices and systems that will blend into environment to support everyday human activities via natural human computer interaction.

GPC 2011 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from interested communities of grid computing and pervasive computing to explore ideas and solutions to challenges in the areas of grid and pervasive computing. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers with the following topics, but not limited to
* Cloud, Cluster and Grid computing
* Mobile, peer-to-peer and pervasive computing
* Sensor and Ad hoc networks
* Mobile agents and networking
* Service-oriented computing
* Middleware, resource management, and runtime environments
* Programming models, tools and environments for distributed and pervasive computing
* Grid and pervasive applications, including eScience and eBusiness applications
* Creation and management of virtual enterprises and organizations
* Grid and cloud computing economy and business models
* Semantic web, semantic grid, metadata and ontologies related to pervasive and distributed computing
* Distributed multimedia processing
