INTRODUCTION
============
Scalability is a desirable quality for contemporary and future computing and communication systems and becomes one of the most important considerations during the design and deployment of these systems. With the rapid increases in the information volume and system complexity, new architecture and techniques are required to support the scalable computing and communications.

The conference ScalCom-10 aims to provide an international forum for scientists, researchers and engineers to discuss challenges, launch original ideas, and showcase real-world problems on all aspects of scalability. ScalCom-10 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards the design, implementation and evaluation of scalable computing and communication systems. ScalCom-10 will be held on 29 June – 1 July, 2010 in Bradford, UK.
