CCGrid 2009 is the ninth in a series of successful international conferences and for the first time will take place in China. The conference will be held at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, which is located along the coast of the East China Sea and the southern banks of the mouth of the Yangtze River. Grid Computing started as a generalization of Cluster Computing, promising to deliver large scale levels of parallelism to high-performance applications by crossing administrative boundaries.

Currently, Grid technology is establishing the way out of the academic incubator and into industry environments. The goal of CCGrid 2009 is to serve as an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present their innovative ideas and experiences in the multi-faceted areas of Cluster and Grid computing including emerging areas such as Cloud Computing. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

Cluster technologies
Grid Architectures and Systems
Utility Computing Models for Clusters and Grids
Grid Economies and Service Architectures
Service Composition and Orchestration
Middleware for Clusters and Grids
Parallel and Wide-Area File Systems
Peer-to-Peer Systems
Cloud Computing
Community and collaborative computing networks
Grid Trust and Security
Support for Autonomic Grid Infrastructure
Resource Management
Scheduling and Load Balancing
Programming Models, Tools, and Environments
Performance Evaluation and Modeling
Grid-based Problem Solving Environments
Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications
