Scope and Interests:
----------------------

Grid computing research focuses on building a large-scale computing
infrastructure by linking computing facilities at many distributed
locations. By analogy with the electric power Grids, such systems are
known as computational Grids. Significant effort has been spent in the
design and implementation of middleware software for enabling
computational Grids. These software packages have been successfully
deployed and it is now possible to build clusters beyond the boundaries
of a single local area network. However, the challenging problem of
dynamically allocating resources in response to application requests for
computational services remains unsolved. Adaptive middleware is software
that resides between the application and the computer operating system
and enables an application to adapt to changing availability of
computing and networking resources.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide an open forum for researchers
from hardware and software areas to present, discuss, and exchange
research-related ideas, results, and experiences in the area of adaptive
middleware for computational Grids.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

• Hardware/software co-designs
• Languages, compilers, and libraries
• Programming environments
• Distributed resource management systems
• Self-optimizing software systems
• Automatic performance optimization
• Remote steering and visualization
• Fault-tolerance and replication designs
• Grid-aware clusters
• Knowledge based systems
• Load balancing and load sharing
• Mapping, scheduling and synchronization
• Modeling, simulation and evaluation techniques
• Adaptive parallel applications

Paper Submission and Publication:
------------------------------------

AGridM2003 invites authors to submit papers on original and unpublished
work in either PS or PDF format via email at agridm2003@ece.uprm.edu.
Manuscripts must not exceed 12 pages in camera-ready form (8.5x11 inch
pages) and should be written in standard IEEE format for conference
proceedings. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the
authors to register the conference. All submissions will be refereed,
and informal proceedings will be printed and distributed at the
workshop. Selected papers will be published in a special issue of the
Kluwer Journal of Supercomputing.

Important Dates:
------------------

Submission deadline: June 16, 2003
Notification of acceptance: July 14, 2003
Final manuscript due: September 1, 2003
