3rd International Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing - MGC 2005
in conjuction with ACM/IFIP/USENIX 6th International Middleware
Conference 2005 Grenoble, France - November 28th 2005
http://mgc2005.lncc.br

The 1st MGC workshop held on June 2003, in conjunction with the
Middleware Conference, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, MGC 2003, saw a
variety of efforts in Middleware for Grid Computing. There were 16
technical presentations and discussions on several stimulating topics
including, Classic Grids, Object Oriented technologies, Service-based
Grids, Open grid Service Architecture, Agent Grid, Interactive Grid,
Grid Economy / Scheduling, and Portlets. Following the workshop,
extended and thoroughly revised versions of the papers were invited to a
Special Issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience
Journal published in 2004. The 2nd workshop in the MGC series brought
together researches in the field of middleware for grid computing,
addressing topics that emerged from 2003, and some novel ones such as,
Strategies and Protocols for obtaining Quality of Services,
Virtualization, Wireless Grids, Data Grid Middleware, Semantic Grid
Middleware, Dependability and Fault Tolerance in Grid Middleware and
Managing Information. The 2nd workshop received an unprecedented number
of quality submissions. Fifteen full papers and nine posters were chosen
for the workshop proceedings out of the forty eight papers originally
submitted. The presenters highlighted issues and solutions in one or
more of the themes identified for the workshop. Following the second
workshop, thoroughly revised selected papers were invited to a Special
Issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience Journal to
appear mid 2005. MGC 2003 (mgc2003.lncc.br), and 2004 (mgc2004.lncc.br),
generated substantial interest in the community and it is expected that
this interest will continue. Far from exhausting the topics of interest,
they have paved the way for a third edition of the workshop in the
series.

For MGC 2005 workshop, researchers from the various GRID middleware
communities are encouraged to submit and present original work to be
considered for publication. Overall topics of interest include but (not
limited to):
	Grid and Web Services Architectures and Middleware
	Object Metadata and Schemas in Grid Middleware
	Programming Models and Tools in Grid Middleware
	Resource Management and Scheduling
	Strategies and Protocols for QoS in Grid Middleware
	Information Services in Grid Middleware
	Dependability and Fault Tolerance in Grid Middleware
	Performance Evaluation and Modeling in Grid Middleware
	Agent-based Approaches in Grid Middleware
	Core Grid Infrastructure.	Grid Security
	Virtualization in Grid Middleware
	Wireless Grids Middleware
	Data Grid Middleware
	Peer to Peer Protocols in Grid Computing
	Network Support for Grid Computing
	Grid Application Frameworks
	Portals and Portlet Containers

Paper Submission: The Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing invites
authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not
exceed 6 pages ACM style (single-spaced 2-column of text using 09-point
size type on A4 paper). Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or
PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer.

Electronic only submission (via submission server).
Submission requires the willingness of at least one of the authors
to register and present the paper.
All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be
published with ACM.
Selected (extended) papers will be invited to a special issue of
Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience Journal to appear
in 2006.
