The 13th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing

Beijing, China
September 20-23, 2012

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.

In 2012, the Grid conference will come to China for the first time and will be held in Beijing, co-located with ChinaGrid'12. Grid 2012 will have a focus on important and immediate issues that are significantly influencing grid computing.
