************************************************************************

We have a great pleasure to invite you to participate in the

"Sixth International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud
and Internet Computing (3PGCIC-2011)"

(http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/3PGCIC-2011)

to be held at Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona (Spain)
on October 26-28, 2011

In conjunction with Sixth International Conference

*****************************************
CONFERENCE AIMS
*****************************************

P2P, Grid, Cloud and Internet computing technologies have emerged
as new paradigms for solving complex problems by enabling
large-scale aggregation and sharing of computational, data
and other geographically distributed computational resources.
Rapid advances are being reported by many researchers and forums
as regards understanding numerous issues in such paradigms,
from theoretic to application aspects. Moreover, the continuous
development of Internet and the construction of new P2P and Grid
and Cloud computing infrastructures are making possible
the development of large scale applications from many fields
of science and engineering.

The aim of this conference is to present innovative research results,
methods and development techniques from both theoretical
and practical perspectives related to P2P, Grid, Cloud and Internet computing.
