                      To be held in conjunction with
IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid2004)
                  April 19 - 22, 2004, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Scope :
----------

The rapid rise of the grid computing concept is leading to the development
of a wide range of capabilities for managing distributed applications and
services. These applications and services, in addition to the grid
infrastructure itself, all rely on network communication. Effectively
utilizing high-speed networks, however, is not entirely trivial. Network
communication will also encompass far more than simple, point-to-point
data transfers. Advanced network capabilities will include quality of
service, security, filtering, reliable multicast, high performance
transport protocols, monitoring, performance measurements and
content-based routing, to name a few.

In many cases, new network services will offer applications a control
plane whereby it can control network behavior in the data plane. Hence,
grid applications and middleware that can be more network-aware, and even
topology- aware, will be able to achieve higher performance, and
responsiveness while lower network demand. Meanwhile, performance and
specific requirements of Grid applications will push the evolution of
network protocols.

For these reasons, the Workshop of Grids and Advanced Networks (GAN'04)
will be convened as part of CCGrid 2004 to bring together researchers in
both grids and networks to present the latest work integrating these two
fields.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to :
    * Grids and High-Performance Networks
    * Communication Middleware
    * Multicast for Grids
    * QoS for Grids
    * Grid Network Security
    * Grid Network Services, e.g., monitoring, filtering
    * Transport protocol for Grids
    * Network resource allocation
    * Content-based Networking
    * Bulk Data Transfer
    * Active Networks for Grids
    * Resource Discovery
    * Topology Construction
    * Network Protocols Enhancement for Grids
    * Grid Applications using advanced network capabilities

Paper Submissions :
---------------------

GAN 2004 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. GAN 2004
also encourages the submission of outstanding "work-in-progress" papers.
Authors are invited to submit papers of not more than 8 pages of double
column text using single spaced 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages,
as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines, see
http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm.

Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print
on a PostScript printer. Electronic submission by email is strongly
encouraged.  Hard copies should be sent only if electronic submission is
not possible.  Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the
authors to register and present the paper. Please email your papers to
laurent.lefevre@ens-lyon.fr, which is the preferred method for submission.
Put "GAN04 submission" in the subject of the email.

Proceedings :
--------------

All papers selected for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be
published as a part of the CCGrid 2004 Proceedings. It is expected that
the proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA.
