CCGrid is a highly successful and<br>well-recognized International conference for presenting the latest<br>breakthroughs in Cluster, Cloud and Grid technologies.<br><br>Although we are looking for demos on the emerging Cloud Computing and<br>GPU-based computing areas, we welcome demos from all areas within the<br>scope of CCGrid 2010. The topics of interest including the following,<br>but not limited to are:<br><br>- Scientific, Engineering, Commercial or e-Science Applications using<br>Cloud Computing<br>- Middleware<br>- Demonstrable Open-Challenges<br>- Resource Management<br>- Scheduling and Load Balancing<br>- Programming Models, Tools, and Environments<br>- Performance Evaluation and Modeling<br><br>The proposal should include:<br>- Up to 2 page description of the demo and the set up, and<br>- A short (half-page) description of the research lab<br><br>Accepted research demonstrations will be invited to present in the<br>conference. These abstracts will not be included in the conference<br>proceedings, but will be published on the conference website.<br><br>Live demos are expected to be up and running during the Research<br>Demonstration Session. We strongly discourage recorded presentations. In<br>addition, authors of accepted demonstrations are expected to communicate<br>more general information about the specific demo and other work being<br>performed at the lab using their own posters (poster boards are<br>provided). We will be providing wireless Internet access ONLY. This<br>means, the hardware (compute and data resources) and software needed for<br>the demo should reside either in public Clouds such as Amazon or private<br>infrastructure of research labs/enterprises.<br><br>A Best Research Demo Award will be presented to the winning demo/team<br>selected by the award committee at the CCGrid 2010 conference.<br><br>Please submit a pdf version of the proposal to:<br><a href="mailto:spandey@csse.unimelb.edu.au">spandey@csse.unimelb.edu.au</a> by the due date.<br><br><br>Demo Co-ordinators<br>--------------------<br><br>Pavan Balaji, Argonne National Laboratory<br>A,B.M.
