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
