WORKSHOP SCOPE

===================================================

Social Networking has profoundly affected the way that people 
communicate and interact. Websites such as Facebook, Xing and LinkedIn 
enable us to interact digitally, and as such electronic relationships 
are quickly beginning to become as important as their real world 
counterparts. The app and as-a-service phenomena are only just beginning 
to embrace and exploit the fabrics of digital relationships, a means 
that has been used in advertising now for some time. The social science 
and information science domains also have a keen interest in social 
networking and in ad hoc sharing, and it is useful to extend this 
multidisciplinary intersection to consider the networks of people, 
shared artefacts and services that are seen in e-Science applications. 
The social science studies of these applications, as well as the use of 
a cloud and services approach to conduct social science studies, are 
important examples of "e-Social Science".

The adoption of Social Networking constructs for new forms of digital 
collaboration is a new and exciting domain, which as yet has no single 
stream-lined community. Typically, workshops with the theme of social 
networks are orientated towards the theoretical aspects of social 
networks, for example how they are built, mined, modelled, visualised, 
how social graphs are traversed, privacy issues, supporting 
infrastructure etc. Instead, this workshop is aimed at bringing together 
novel research that is focused on the emerging area of how social 
networks can be used and harnessed in and with the domains of cluster, 
grid and cloud computing as well as for services computing. This 
workshop is focused on, but not limited to, the application of social 
networking models in distributed services and content, the use of 
cluster, cloud, grid or services computing in the creation of social 
networks and their applications, and the development and use of 
distributed computing models within social networks.

The topics of interest are, but not limited to, the adoption of social 
networks to cluster, grid, cloud and/or services computing for:

- novel applications of digital relationships

- discover providers and/or consumers of services

- enhance trustworthiness

- discover and/or compose new services

- perform scientific computing and applications

- aid the negotiation of SLAs and their lifecycle

- novel forms of collaborative computing and resource sharing

- define novel principals, models and methodologies for the harnessing 
of digital relationships

===================================================

SUBMISSION PROCESS

===================================================

Workshop papers should be a maximum of 6 pages in length (in IEEE 
format). Additional pages may be purchased (in some circumstances) 
subject to approval of the proceedings chair. At least one author of 
each accepted submission must attend the workshop and all workshop 
participants must pay the CCGrid 2011 workshop registration fee, as well 
as the conference fee. All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE 
in the same volume as the main conference. All papers will be reviewed 
by an International Programme Committee (with a minimum of 3 reviews per 
paper). Papers submissions should be performed using the easychair 
system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sn4ccgrids11), by the 
date mentioned below.
