CoreGRID/ERCIM workshop on grids, clouds and P2P computing - CGWS2012

Abstract

CoreGRID is a European research Network of Excellence (NoE) that was initiated in 2004 as part of the EU FP6 research framework. CoreGRID partners, from 44 different countries, developed theoretical foundations and software infrastructures for large-scale, distributed Grid and P2P applications. An ERCIM sponsored CoreGRID Working Group was established to ensure the continuity of the CoreGrid programme after the original funding period of the NoE. The working group extended its interests to include the emerging field of servicebased cloud computing due to its great importance to the European software industry. The working group's main goals consist in i) sustaining the operation of the CoreGRID Network, ii) establishing a forum encouraging collaboration between the Grid and P2P Computing research communities, and (iii) encourage research on the role of cloud computing as a new paradigm for distributed computing in e-Science. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
