The Third International Conference on Grid and Pervasive Computing
            Kunming, China, May 25-28, 2008
            http://grid.hust.edu.cn/gpc2008

  Grid computing presents a new trend to distributed and Internet
computing for coordinating large-scale heterogeneous resources sharing
and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual
organizations. Grid computing is not only used for distributed
supercomputing and massive data processing, but it is also a common
platform and way for utility and service computing. Grid computing
encompasses more than using mainframes or supercomputers to do
coordinated computing. More and more, personal computers and small smart
devices, ranging form personal digital assistants to unseen chips in our
cars, appliances and telephones, are emerging to be the supporting force
to grid computing. Projecting this trend into the future, we envision an
explosion of interconnected high performance computers and smart devices
that can make our research and daily lives easier and more productive.

Scope

  The International Conference on Grid Pervasive Computing (GPC) is an
annual international conference on the emerging areas of merging grid
and pervasive computing, aimed at providing an exciting platform and
paradigm for all the time, everywhere services. Grid and Pervasive
Computing (GPC) is a forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners
throughout the world to exchange ideas and research results related to
the design, use, analysis, and application in the field of grid
computing and pervasive computing.

Topics

  Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Cluster computing
• High performance computing
• Grid computing
• Semantic web and semantic grid
• Service-oriented computing
• Peer-to-peer computing
• Pervasive computing
• Mobile computing
• Network storage
• Grid and pervasive related applications
