The 12th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid2011)
Lyon, France
Sep 21 - Sep 23, 2011
http://grid2011.mnm-team.org/
Co-located with the EGI Technical Forum

Sponsored by:
[TBD] The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing
[TBD] Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture


Grid computing enables the sharing of distributed computing and data
resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity
to create a cohesive resource environment for executing distributed
applications. The Grid conference series is an annual international
meeting that brings together a community of researchers, developers,
practitioners, and users involved with Grid technology. The objective
of the meeting is to serve as both the premier venue for presenting
foremost research results in the area and as a forum for introducing
and exploring new concepts. The conference will feature invited talks,
workshops, and refereed paper presentations.

Grid 2011 welcomes paper and poster submissions on innovative work
from researchers in academia, industry and government describing
original research work in grid computing. Previous events in this
series have been successful in attracting high quality papers and a
wide international participation. This event will be co-located with
the EGI Technical Forum.
