Introduction
*************

CCGrid 2007 is the seventh in a series of successful international
symposia and for the first time will take place in South America - in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The previous events are held in Brisbane,
Australia (2001); Berlin, Germany (2002); Tokyo, Japan (2003); Chicago,
USA (2004); Cardiff, UK (2005), Singapore (2006) and they have attracted
large number of participants from academia and industries from all over
the world.

Grid Computing started as a generalization of Cluster Computing,
promising to deliver unprecedent levels of parallelism to
high-performance applications by crossing administrative boundaries.
Subsequently, this vision evolved to support on-demand access and
composition of any computational service, provided by multiple
independent sources. Under this new vision, Clusters gained renewed
importance as the "super-servers" of the emerging Grid infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the use of computational and data resources in
high-performance applications, undertaken over Grid infrastructure, have
started to now become a reality. Today we face the huge challenge of
making on-demand access to any computational service, the "computing as
service" vision, a widespread reality.

The CCGrid Symposium has been part of this journey, bringing together
researchers and practitioners and enabling them to share their insight,
results, and experience in the multifaceted areas of Grid and Cluster
computing. Selected papers will be invited to a Special Issue of
Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience.
