Workshop description:

Grid Computing is emerging as a next-generation parallel and distributed
computing platform driven by the Internet, Web services technologies, and
service-oriented computing architectures. The research area of grid
computing is making rapid progress, owing to the increasing necessity of
computation in the resolution of complex applications.
In this category falls also several symbolic computing applications.

The Symbolic Grid Computing Workshop seeks to provide a bridge between the
symbolic computing community and the developers of grid applications.

The workshop goal is to bring together researchers, developers,
practitioners, and users,
         - to assess the current state-of-the-art
         - to identify major needs and opportunities
         - to identify the key application requirements and
           scenarios on the grid
         - to exchange ideas and chart future directions
         - to gather/spread the information about tools,
           toolkits and other mechanisms for symbolic
           computing on grids
         - to broaden the symbolic grid computing community
           by encouraging new users to use the grid
           technologies and computer algebra systems

The workshop is seeking papers from different areas of grid
and symbolic computing, especially those concerned with
symbolic computing on the grid.

Topics:

Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to, the following:

    * Symbolic computing application requirements towards grids
    * High-performance computing in symbolic computing applications
    * Grid solutions for computation-intensive applications
    * Accessing external services from CAS, network enabled servers
    * Converting existing applications and designing new applications
      to run on the grid
    * Internet-based computing models and computing services
    * Collaboration technologies
    * Simulations in grid environments
    * Grid application toolkits
    * Security in computational grids
    * Grid-based data mining
    * Extracting knowledge from computational grids
    * Performance evaluation and modeling
    * Virtual scientific experiments and labs
    * Metadata infrastructures for grid computing
    * Task ontologies and service composition languages
    * Agent-architectures for grid environments or based on
      grid computing technologies

Submission of papers:

Papers of up to 8 pages (IEEE style) to petcu@info.uvt.ro.
The papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of
their scientific merit and relevance to the Workshop topics.
Those accepted for presentation will be published
in the SYNASC'05 post-proceedings (IEEE Computer Press).

Workshop deadlines:

Submission of papers:        May 30, 2005
Notification of acceptance:  July 1, 2004
Final paper:                 September 1, 2005
