5-th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid
Modern grid technologies facilitate the coupling of geographically
distributed resources and offer consistent and secure access irrespective
of users' physical location or access point. This enables sharing, selection,
and aggregation of a wide variety of distributed resources, such as
supercomputers, computing clusters, storage systems, data
sources and instruments, etc., and allows them to be used as a single,
unified resource.
This workshop focuses on the development, deployment and evaluation of grid
technologies in broadly biology-related research and
practice. Specifically, the workshop concentrates on all aspects of
grid-enabled infrastructures, testbeds, management and security in support
of the following biology, medical and health related areas:
In addition to the focus areas, research articles reporting on original results of developing, deploying and evaluating grid techniques in novel topics in bioinformatics, clinical informatics, bioimaging and public health informatics are also solicited.
BioGrid'05 provides a forum for both researchers and commercial developers. It is the place to meet and discuss hardware and software issues involved in the design and use of the cluster/grid environments to support biological and health related researches.
| Papers due: | January 5, 2005 |
| Author notification: | January 25, 2005 |
| Camera-ready papers due: | February 7, 2005 |
| CCGrid conference: | May 9-12, 2005 |

Papers presented at BioGrid'05 will be published as part of the 5-th IEEE/ACM
CCGrid proceedings, as well as in the IEEE Digital Library. Extended
versions of selected regular papers will be invited to appear in a
special issue of the Journal of Clinical
Monitoring and Computing, Springer (formerly Kluwer).
Note: Selected BioGrid 2004
papers were invited to appear in the special issue of "High-Performance
Parallel Bio-compuing", Parallel Computing Journal (Vol 30, Issues 9-10),
Elsevier.
Submissions should be in PostScript (level 2) or PDF format that will print on
a PostScript printer. Papers must be original work. This year we accept
both regular (up to 8 pages) and short (2 pages) papers, both of
double-column text using single spaced 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch
pages, as per the
IEEE manuscript guidelines.
All submissions will be acknowledged and peer-reviewed.
Please send your files and direct all your queries via email to
huang@cse.uconn.edu.
The 2005 BioGrid technical program is scheduled on May 10. Details follow.
