Invited Session on High Performance Grid Middleware

August 25 - 27, 2011, Cluj-Napoca, Romania

Part of the ICCP 2011, the 2011 IEEE International Conference On Intelligent Computer Communication and Processing, http://www.iccp.ro/iccp2011/

Scope and Motivation
--------------------
HiPerGRID is an annual event dedicated to dissemination and evaluation of current advances in Grid technologies research. The purpose of the event is to provide an open forum for researchers from the Grid middleware community to present, discuss, and exchange research-related ideas, results, and experiences in the area of high performance grid middleware. The objective of this event is to support community of researchers, developers, practitioners as well as current and potential Grid users who work in the field of grid technologies and their applications.

Grid Middleware refers to resource management, execution management, data management, security, monitoring and discovery, accounting, and other functions required by Virtual Organizations to operate effectively a shared services environment. Obtaining high performance Grid Middleware through new, innovative solutions is a challenge of today research, due to the strong requirements imposed by the dynamic behavior of the user and resource communities. The event also aims at stimulating synergies between Grid communities and related technology communities (P2P, Service Orientation, Workflow management).
