CALL FOR PAPERS
*****************

OVERVIEW/SCOPE:

Tremendous advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware
technologies are leading to new paradigms and platforms for computing,
ranging from computing Clusters to widely distributed Grid and emerging
Clouds. CCGrid is a series of very successful conferences, sponsored by
the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing
(TCSC) and ACM, with the overarching goal of bringing together
international researchers, developers, and users and to provide an
international forum to present leading research activities and results
on a broad range of topics related to these platforms and paradigms and
their applications. The conference features keynotes, technical
presentations, posters, workshops, tutorials, as well as the SCALE
challenges featuring live demonstrations.

In 2010, CCGrid will return to Australia, to Melbourne, to celebrate its
10th anniversary. CCGrid 2010 will have a special focus on three
important and immediate issues that are significantly influencing all
aspects of Cluster, Cloud and Grid computing: Economics, Environment and
Autonomics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Paradigms and Technologies: System architectures, Design and
deployment; Programming models, language, systems and
tools/environments; Virtualization; Middleware technologies.

* Service-Orientation: Service oriented architectures; Utility
computing models; *aaS paradigm; Service composition and orchestration

* Greening: Environment friendly computing ecosystems;
Hardware/software/application energy efficiency; Power and cooling;
Thermal/power awareness

* Autonomic Management: Self-* behaviors, models and technologies;
Autonomic paradigms and approaches (control-based, bio-inspired,
emergent, etc.); Bio-inspired approaches to management; SLA definition
and enforcement;

* Economic Aspects: Utility models and computing economies;
Economic-based models and approaches.

* Monitoring and Evaluation: Performance models; Monitoring and
evaluation tools, Analysis of system/application performance; Benchmarks
and testbeds.

* Security and Trust: Cloud/Grid security and trust; Access control;
Data privacy and integrity; Regulation.

* Applications and Experiences: Applications to real and complex
problems in science, engineering, business and society; User studies;
Experiences with large-scale deployments systems or applications.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted
manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed
10 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references
using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2
inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column
format with columns 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81
cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully justified
text). Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned
without review. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and
make sure that the file will print on a printer that uses letter size
(8.5 x 11) paper. The official language of the meeting is English. All
manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation,
and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is
not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers
not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and
further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)
notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and
sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date,
exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be
considered. Authors may contact the conference PC Chair for more
information. The proceedings will be published through the IEEE Computer
Society Press, USA and will be made online through the IEEE Digital Library.

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

CCGrid 2010 is inviting proposals for organising of co-located and
