Conference Information

The conference IBERGRID'2011 is being organized by the Institute of Physics of Cantabria in Santander and will take place from 8 to 10th of June 2011.

IBERGRID'2011 is the fifth edition of a series of Iberian Grid Infrastructure Conferences initiated in 2007 under the framework of the bilateral agreement for Science and Technology signed in November 2003 between Portugal and Spain, aiming to leverage the construction of a common Iberian Grid Infrastructure and to foster cooperation in the fields of grid computing and supercomputing.

The main goal of the IBERGRID'2011 conference is to constitute a forum where the advances in the development of grid infrastructures, technologies and applications are discussed by the main players in Iberian and Latin American countries. This year’s conference lemma is “The Digital Infrastructure for European Researchers”, specially aiming at future plans and integration activities in the frame of the European and International e-Science arena.

Important Dates

Papers due: MARCH 7th 2011

Early Bird registration ends: MAY 10th 2011

Conference in Santander: JUNE 8-10, 2011

In order to encourage contributions, besides the usual conference proceedings publication, this year a selection of the best contributions will be published in the Journal "Computing and Informatics".

It is important to respect the deadlines as the peer-review process will take longer than in previous years, due to editorial constraints.

Topics of interest

The principal topics of IBERGRID 2011 include:

- European Grid Initiative - EGI and IBERGRID infrastructure

- Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe - PRACE

- Virtualization techniques on top of computing resources

- Interactive SuperComputing

- Green IT : designing of Computing Center facilities

- Large Data Repositories

- Applications over very high performance networks

- ESFRI implementations in the Iberian area

- LHC Computing Grid and Tier-0 topology

- Applications oriented to Volunteer computing

- Expanding beyond classic user communities

Priority will be given to papers describing ongoing R&D collaborative Grid projects between Portuguese, Spanish and Latin American institutions.
