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.

Covered topics include (but are not limited to) Grid-focused aspects of:

  • Large-scale algorithms
  • Symbolic and numeric computations
  • High performance computations for large scale simulations
  • Large-scale distributed computations
  • Agent-based computing
  • Data models for large-scale applications
  • Cloud computing
  • Security issues for large-scale computations
  • Science portals
  • Data visualization
  • Performance analysis, evaluation and prediction
  • Programming models
  • Peer-to-peer models and services for scalable grids
  • Collaborative science applications
  • Business applications
  • Data-intensive applications

 


Papers submission

  • Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF of MSWord file).
  • The total length of a paper should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE style). IEEE style templates are available here.
  • Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the workshop.
  • Accepted and Presented paper will be published in the Conference Proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore® database.
  • Extended versions of selected papers will be published in a Special Issue of the Scalable Computing; Practice and Experience journal.
Special Issue based on papers from the 2007 LaSCoG is being published in the Scalable Computing; Practice and Experience journal.
