To be held with the International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA-2006).
Sorrento ,Italy ,4-6 Dec. 2006

The dates of ISPA-2006 have been shifted to Dec 4-6 due to some reasons. Deeply apologize for this inconvenience.

DESCRIPTION
    As an extension of current grid, semantic grid is characterized as an open system in which information, computing resources and services are given well defined meaning in standard ways. This approach helps bring resources virtually together and makes it easier for resources to be discovered and processed automatically. It also opens research opportunities for scientists and engineers.

    This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers to discuss and share their findings and ideas in semantic grid applications in computing and engineering, and envision the future work in this area.

TOPICS OF INTEREST (but not limited to the following)

1. Grid-based e-science infrastructure
2. Service-oriented model and architecture
3. Ontology based Grid services description and discovery
4. Ontology matching
5. Ontology reconciliation
6. Personalization ontology
7. Semantic grid tools and technologies
8. Real examples in computing and engineering using semantic grid approach
9. Development of semantic grid
10. Metadata representation in semantic grid
11. Knowledge technologies in semantic grid
