Workshop on Grid and Utility Computing (WUGC)
Held in conjunction with the International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC), Goa, India.December 2007
Scope
Until recently, application developers could often assume a target environment that was homogeneous, reliable, secure, and centrally managed. However, with the advent of collaborative computing and data sharing, more and more new modes of interaction have evolved resulting in the need and use of distributed resources for large-scale scientific research. Work within this community has led to the development of Grid technologies, which address precisely these problems and which are seeing widespread and successful adoption in scientific and enterprise computing.In grid computing, heterogeneous resources distributed geographically are virtualized as a unified whole. Grid computing, as a result, provides enormous opportunity in terms of resource sharing, maximization of resource utilization and virtualization of resources. Because of its immense potential, not only the scientific community, but also the enterprise IT communities are excited about the prospect of grid computing.
With the evolution of Grid technologies, the need for providing computation as a utility has resulted in the growth of the discipline called Utility Computing. Enterprises are looking at having a pricing and licensing model using a managed, secure, on-demand infrastructure based on Grid technologies. Grid and Utility computing are seeing rapid adoption at this moment and is poised to become a very critical part of the IT infrastructure. However, there are significant research and development challenges which need to be understood and solved to handle the adoption of this new technology in a phased and scalable manner.
The goal of the Workshop on Grid & Utility Computing 2007 is to have a profound understanding of the issues and research problems that exist in the realm of Grid and Utility Computing through the sharing of ideas. To achieve this goal, this workshop solicits original, previously unpublished research contributions on (but not restricted to) the following subject categories:
- Application Development and Migration in Grid Platforms
- Security in Grid and Utility Computing
- Policy mapping over grid
- Virtualization techniques in Grid and Utility systems
- Multi-tenancy of application and data in a grid environment
- Metering and monitoring systems in Grid based Utility systems
- Pricing Issues in Grid based Utility systems
