    Background

    Grid computing presents a new trend to distributed and Internet
    computing for coordinating large-scale heterogeneous resources
    sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual
    organizations. Grid computing is not only used for distributed
    supercomputing and massive data processing, but it is also a common
    platform and way for utility and service computing. Grid computing
    encompasses more than using mainframes or supercomputers to do
    coordinated computing. More and more, personal computers and small
    smart devices, ranging from personal digital assistants to unseen
    chips in our cars, appliances and telephones, are emerging to be the
    supporting force to grid computing. Projecting this trend into the
    future, we envision an explosion of interconnected high performance
    computers and smart devices that can make our research and daily
    lives easier and more productive.

    Scope

    The International Conference on Grid and Pervasive Computing (GPC)
    is an annual international conference on the emerging areas of
    merging grid and pervasive computing, aimed at providing an exciting
    platform and paradigm for all the time, everywhere services. Grid
    and Pervasive Computing (GPC) is a forum for scientists, engineers,
    and practitioners throughout the world to exchange ideas and
    research results related to the design, use, analysis, and
    application in the field of grid computing and pervasive computing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Topics

    Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

          o Cluster computing

          o High performance computing

          o Grid computing

          o Semantic web and semantic grid

          o Service-oriented computing

          o Peer-to-peer computing

          o Pervasive computing

          o Mobile computing

          o Network storage

          o Grid and pervasive related applications

    Submission Guidelines

    Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration
    for another conference.

    Papers must be written in English, and they should be at most 20
    pages, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. The
    manuscript should be in single column, double-spaced format, using a
    font size of 10 points or larger. Authors also need to make sure
    that the electronically submitted files will print on a PostScript
    printer that use 8.5 x 11 inch (Letter Size) paper. All submitted
    papers should be in PDF format. We recommend to use the LNCS
    <http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html> packages (please,
    follow the 'Information for LNCS Authors' link).

    Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to
    register, attend the conference, and present the paper. There will
    be best paper awards to recognize distinguished researches.

    The proceedings of the GPC conference will be published by the
    Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series (pending).

    ooo A Special Issue based on best GPC'2007 papers on Grid
    Computing will be published with Journal of Supercomputing and a
    Special Issue based on best GPC'2007 papers on Pervasive Computing
    will be published with Journal of Pervasive Computing and
    Communications <http://www.pervasive-computing.org/>.
