CALL FOR PAPERS

SCOPE

Global Computing systems, Desktop Grids and Peer-to-Peer systems (P2P) aim to harness Internet-connected resources at a global scale. Supporting computation on such systems raises a novel set of questions. Because of size, autonomy and the high volatility of resources, these platforms provide the opportunity to revisit major fields of distributed computing such as protocols, infrastructures, security, fault tolerance, scheduling, performance, services, applications, and incentives for cooperation. Moreover, new issues concerning the installation, maintenance and scalability of large-scale distributed systems are more relevant than ever.

The focus of this seventh GP2PC workshop is on large scale data management. We invite contributions that investigate the technics of P2P systems for efficient distribution of voluminous and data, massively distributed indexing of data, high-availability of data in volatile environment, execution of data-intense application on Desktop Grids, storage-based Global Computing. We are interested in innovative middleware and applications with large-scale deployments or performance evaluations.

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Volunteer Computing, Desktop Grids and Peer-to-Peer platforms
• P2P Merging/Interoperability with Grid standards
• Middleware, programming models, environments and toolkits for Global and P2P systems
• Protocols for resource management (discovery, reservation, scheduling, monitoring)
• Collaborative data dissemination protocols
• Storage in GP2P infrastructures (strategies, protocols)
• Computational resource and data management
• Performance measurements, benchmarking, and real life testbeds
• Simulators, emulators and modeling
• Security (trust models, infrastructure)
• Result certification (detection/tolerance of corrupted results)
• Incentives for participation
• Economic considerations of resource usage (protocols, accounting)
• Applications (programmed from scratch, ported from sequential or parallel implementations, or adapted to fit a global computing environment)
