Workshop on Models, Algorithms and Methodologies

for Grid-enabled Computing Environments

in conjunction with the

7th International Conference on Parallel Processing

and Applied Mathematics PPAM 2007
Gdańsk, Poland, September 9-12, 2007

(http://ppam.pcz.pl)

A fundamental way to assess the Grid Computing Programming Model and to spread it to a broad scientific community is to define models, algorithms and methodologies for grid-enabled computing environments, that deliver well-established mechanisms for providing user-friendly access to computational resources.

This workshop:

is focused on effective models, methodologies and efficient algorithms to select and use grid resources, accessing the grid services by means of interfaces hiding to the final user complicated and boring details;
is aimed to be a forum within which to discuss current achievements and trends in the area of grid middleware models, algorithms and methodologies.

Topics include (but are not limited to ):
Models, Algorithms and Methodologies for

Grid Resource Allocation
Grid Matchmaking and Web Services
Grid Data and Metadata Management
Grid Security
Performance Steering in Grid Environments
