   3rd Austrian Grid Symposium
   Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria
   September 28-29, 2009

   http://www.austriangrid.at/symposium

Deadline: May 30, 2009

The Austrian Grid is the national Grid initiative in Austria
to 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 third symposium organized by the Austrian Grid partners
to demonstrate results of the cooperation (earlier symposia have
been held in Hagenberg and Innsbruck). The symposium
will 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. Moreover, the symposium
will gather an international research community that works on the
development and application of state of the art Grid technology and
reports on experience with Grid applications.

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
