  1st Austrian Grid Symposium
  Schloss Hagenberg, Austria
  December 01-02, 2005

  http://www.austriangrid.at/symposium

Deadline: November 03, 2005

The Austrian Grid Initiative is the national initiative in Austria
to set up and support grid computing in general, and to provide
coordination and collaboration between research areas actively involved and 
interested in grid computing. The Austrian Grid Consortium combines Austria's 
leading researchers in advanced
computing technologies with well-recognized partners in grid-dependant 
application areas.

This is the first symposium organized by the Austrian Grid partners
to demonstrate the first results of the cooperation. The symposium
will thus be a forum for the institutions deploying the Austrian Grid
infrastructure, for the Austrian developers of grid middleware
extensions, and for the users of the Austrian Grid infrastructure
to meet each other, share ideas and experience, and discuss future
directions of the national grid efforts.

Main topics of the symposium will be as follows:

* Grid infrastructure deployment and management
* Grid security and authentication services
* Grid middleware services
* Scientific visualization on the grid
* Grid user interfaces and web portals
* Multimedia encoding and transportation in the grid
* Data base access and data mining on the grid
* Grid programming environments
* Grid-enabled applications and grid-dependant application domains

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Contributors are invited to submit an extended abstract not exceeding
4 pages in English. The selection of presentations for the symposium will
be based on the evaluation of the extended abstracts by the program committee.

Presented papers at the symposium will be invited to submit
a full paper of 10 pages in camera ready format for the post-conference
proceedings. Each paper will be subject to a standard review by the members of 
the program committee, before a final selection of the papers will be published.
