CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

OVERVIEW:
	As the data volumes continue to increase and the ways of 
information dispersion across the globe continue to diversify, new 
scalable methods and structures are needed for efficiently processing 
those distributed and autonomous data. Grid computing, P2P technology, 
distributed information retrieval technology, and networking technology 
all must be merged to address the scalability concern. This forum focuses 
on this key merged domain and looks for new integrated solutions for this 
diversifying world of information.

WHAT TO SUBMIT:
	We solicit proposals for workshops on new and emerging topics that 
are relevant to the conference scope.  An ideal proposal would focus on a 
specific theme, be of current interest, and be able to attract a number of 
high quality submissions.  Proposals for one-day workshops to be held in 
conjunction with the conference are solicited.  We are planning to host 4 
one-day workshops on the day before / after the main conference.  The 
workshop proposal should be a maximum of 2 pages long and should clearly 
identify the theme, the scope, and specific topic areas of interest which 
define the scope of the workshop.  The proposal should also suggest 
potential program chairs and program committee members.
