Abstract

The Grid conference series is an annual international meeting that brings together a community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and users involved with Grid technology&#046; The objective of the meeting is to serve as both the premier conference presenting best Grid research and a forum where new concepts can be introduced and explored&#046; The previous events in this series were: Grid 2000, Bangalore, India; Grid 2001, Denver; Grid 2002, Baltimore; Grid 2003, Phoenix; Grid 2004, Pittsburgh; and the sixth event, Grid 2005 in Seattle&#046; All of these events have been successful in attracting high quality papers and a wide international participation&#046; Last year&#8242;s event attracted about 400 registered participants&#046; From the second event through the sixth, we have been known as the Grid Workshop affiliated with the Supercomputing SC conference series&#046; For this, our seventh event, we will convene our first meeting as a conference and this year we will be co&#8211;located with the 2006 cluster conference&#046; The proceedings of the first three workshops were published by Springer&#8211;Verlag, and the proceedings of the three most recent workshops were published by the IEEE Computer Society Press&#046; We expect this year&#8242;s proceedings will join those of the last three years in the IEEE Computer Society&#8242;s Digital Library&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> Internet&#8211;based Computing Models<br>Applications, including eScience and eBusiness Applications<br>Distributed and Large&#8211;Scale Data Access and Management<br>Middleware and Toolkits<br>Monitoring, Management and Organization Tools<br>Resource Management and Scheduling<br>Networking<br>Virtual Instrumentation<br>Metadata, Ontologies, and Provenance<br>Creation and Management of Virtual Enterprises and Organizations<br>Architectures and Fabrics<br>Information Services<br>Security Issues<br>Programming Models, Tools, and Environments<br>Grid Economy<br>Autonomic and Utility Computing on Global Grids<br>Performance Evaluation and Modeling<br>Cluster and Grid Integration Issues<br>Scientific, Industrial and Social Implications<br>
