<p class="MsoPlainText">CALL FOR PAPERS</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">===================================================</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">First IEEE/ACM Workshop on the application
of Social Networking concepts to Cluster, Cloud, Grid and Services
Computing. (SN4CCGridS) Workshop website: <a
href="http://www.ksri.kit.edu/SN4CCGridS">http://www.ksri.kit.edu/SN4CCGridS</a>
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The workshop will be co-located with the
11th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid
Computing, Newport Beach, CA, USA. For full details on the
conference please refer to the CCGrid'11 Website (<a

<p class="MsoPlainText">Selected papers from the workshop will be
invited for a special issue of the Journal of Web Services
Research (JWSR).</p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">WORKSHOP SCOPE</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">===================================================</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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".</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The topics of interest are, but not limited
to, the adoption of social networks to cluster, grid, cloud and/or
services computing for: </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- novel applications of digital
relationships</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- discover providers and/or consumers of
services</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- enhance trustworthiness</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- discover and/or compose new services</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- perform scientific computing and
applications</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- aid the negotiation of SLAs and their
lifecycle</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- novel forms of collaborative computing and
resource sharing</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- define novel principals, models and
methodologies for the harnessing of digital relationships</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">===================================================</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">SUBMISSION PROCESS</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">===================================================</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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 (<a
href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sn4ccgrids11">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sn4ccgrids11</a>),
by the date mentioned below.</p>
