---------------------------------------------------------------------------- e-Science 2005 Conference: Call for Participation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- First IEEE International Conference on e-Science and Grid Computing Dec. 5-8, 2005, Melbourne, Australia http://www.gridbus.org/escience Sponsored/Organised By: IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Scalable Computing Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics University of Melbourne, Australia University of Vienna, Austria Queen's University, UK National Centre for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), USA Molecular and Materials Structure Network (MMSN), Australia National ICT Australia (NICTA), Australia CALL FOR PAPERS The next generation of scientific research and experiments will be carried out by communities of researchers from organizations that span national boundaries. These activities will involve geographically distributed and heterogeneous resources such as computational systems, scientific instruments, databases, sensors, software components, networks, and people. Such large-scale and enhanced scientific endeavors, popularly termed as e-Science, are carried out via collaborations on a global scale. Grid computing has emerged as one of the key computing paradigms that enable the creation and management of Internet-based utility computing infrastructure, called Cyberinfrastructure, for realization of e-Science and e-Business at the global level. Several national and international projects around the world have been initiated to carry out research and innovation activities that transform the vision of e-Science and Grid computing into reality. The e-Science 2005 conference, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee for Scalable Computing (TCSC) and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), is designed to bring together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of e-Science applications and enabling IT technologies. The conference serves as a forum to present the results of the latest research and product/tool developments, and highlight related activities from around the world. The following topics concerning e-Science and Grid Computing are of interest, but not limited to: * Enabling Technologies: Internet and Web Services * Collaborative Science Models and Techniques * Problem Solving Environments * Application Development Environments * Programming Paradigms and Models * Resource Management and Scheduling * Grid Economy and Business Models * Autonomic and Self-Organising Grid Networks * Virtual Instruments and Access Management * Sensor Networks and e-Science * Security Challenges * Software and Social Engineering * e-Science & Grid applications in Physics, Biology, Astronomy, Chemistry, Finance, and Engineering. PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit papers of not more than 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines: http://www.gridbus.org/escience/instructions.html Authors should submit a PDF or PostScript (level 2) file that will print on a PostScript printer. Full paper submission instructions will be placed on the conference website. It is expected that the proceedings will be published by the IEEE CS Press, USA and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library. e-Science 2005 will also feature workshops, tutorials, exhibits, and an industrial track. To organize or participate in these please see the conference web site. SPECIAL ISSUE The best 6 papers from the conference will be selected for journal length extension and their publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS). The special issue is expected to be published in early 2006.
