* Parallel and Wide-Area File Systems
* Peer-to-Peer Systems
* Community and collaborative computing networks
* Grid Trust and Security
* Support for Autonomic Grid Infrastructure
* Resource Management
* Scheduling and Load Balancing
* Programming Models, Tools, and Environments
* Performance Evaluation and Modeling
* Grid-based Problem Solving Environments
* Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications

Posters can be submitted in one of two ways:

[1] Proceedings published posters: Participants submitting proceedings
published posters are required to submit upto 2 pages short paper
describing the poster content, research, relevance and importance to
the cluster, grid and cloud computing community. If accepted, these
2 pages short paper will be published in the proceedings of the
conference.

[2] Web published posters: These posters require a short 1-page
abstract to be submitted. These abstracts will not be included in the
conference proceedings, but will be published on the conference
