In the last decade, grid computing has developed into one of the most important topics in the computing field. The research area of grid computing has been making particularly rapid progress in the last few years, due to the increasing number of scientific applications that are demanding intensive use of computational resources and a dynamic and heterogeneous infrastructure.
Within this framework, the GADA workshop arose in 2004 as a forum for researchers in grid computing whose aim was to extend their background in this area, and more specifically, for those who used grid environments in managing and analyzing data. Both GADA'04 and GADA'05 were constituted as successful events, due to the large number of high-quality papers received, as well as the brainstorming of experiences and ideas interchanged in the associated forums. Because of this demonstrated success, GADA was upgraded as a Conference within On The Move Federated Conferences and Workshops (OTM'06). GADA'06 covered a broader set of disciplines, although grid computing kept a key role in the set of main topics of the conference.
The objective of grid computing is the integration of heterogeneous computing systems and data resources with the aim of providing a global computing space. The achievement of this goal is creating revolutionary changes in the field of computation, because it enables resource sharing across networks, with data being one of the most important resources. Thus, data access, management and analysis within grid and distributed environments are also dealt as main part of the conference.
Therefore, the main goal of GADA'08 is to provide a framework in which a community of researchers, developers and users can exchange ideas and works related to grid, high-performance and distributed applications and systems. The second goal of GADA'08 is to create interaction between grid computing researchers and the other OTM attendees.
GADA'08 intends to draw a highly diverse body of researchers and practitioners by being part of the "On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems and Ubiquitous Computing 2008" federated conferences event that includes five co-located conferences:
- GADA'08 (International Conference on Grid computing, high-performAnce and Distributed Applications)
- CoopIS'08 (International Conference on Cooperative Information Systems)
- DOA'08 (International Symposium on Distributed Objects and Applications)
- ODBASE'08 (International Conference on Ontologies, DataBases, and applications of Semantics)
- IS'08 (Information Security Symposium)

IMPORTANT DATES
Papers submitted to GADA'08 must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference.
All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 18 pages in the final camera-ready format. Authors instructions can be found at:
Failure to comply with the formatting instructions for submitted papers will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review.
The paper submission is located at:http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/gada/2008/papers/
Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.
