4th
Workshop on Large Scale Computations on Grids
(LaSCoG'08)
Wisla,
Poland, October 20-22, 2008
Large
Scale Computations on Grids (LaSCoG) Workshop will be
organized within the framework of the International
Multiconference on Computer Science and Information
Technology and co-located with the XXIV Autumn Meeting
of the Polish Information Processing Society.
The
emerging paradigm for execution of large-scale
computations, whether they originate as scientific or
engineering applications, or for supporting large
data-intensive calculations, is to utilize multiple
computers at sites distributed across the Internet. In
particular, computational grids are collections of
distributed, possibly heterogeneous resources which can
be used as ensembles to execute large-scale
applications. While the vision of the global
computational Grid is extremely appealing, there remains
a lot of work on all levels to achieve it. In this
context the LaSCoG workshop is envisioned as a forum to
promote exchange of ideas and results aimed at
addressing complex issues that arise in developing
large-scale computations on Grids and running
applications on them.
