IJGUC addresses grid and utility computing which represent fundamental paradigms for next-generation parallel and distributed computing systems, enabling distant collaboration, resource discovery/sharing, data-intensive applicative infrastructures and high-throughput environments to address on-demand large-scale scientific, engineering, and business problems. Grid and utility computing have significantly contributed to the advancement of cloud computing, e-science, high performance computing, virtual organisations and collaboration, scientific workflows, and service-oriented architectures. They exploit synergies with different areas such as peer-to-peer computing, semantic web, wireless/mobile technologies, and computational intelligence.

 



 Topics covered include

  • Grid, utility, cloud computing and applications
  • Resource allocation, scheduling, service discovery, capacity management
  • Middleware, monitoring, load balancing, workload management
  • Performance evaluation, simulation/modelling, toolkits
  • Security, trust, maintenance, socio-technical/management issues
  • Fault tolerance, reliability, availability
  • Knowledge, service-oriented, semantic grids and clouds
  • Integrated grid, cloud, P2P, mobile/wireless architectures
  • Green computing/IT, power-aware models/environments
  • Grid economics, market economy, business oriented models
  • Virtual organisations, collaborative computing
  • Virtualization of hardware/software resources
  • Utility models, solution architectures
  • Resource modelling/simulation in utility computing
  • Utility computing economics, pricing models

Objectives

The objectives of IJGUC are to establish an effective channel of communication between grid and utility computing researchers, engineers, and policy makers. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in the field of grid and utility computing. The international dimension is emphasised in order to foster international collaboration in grid and utility computing to meet the need to broaden the applicability and scope of the current body of knowledge.


Readership

IJGUC provides a vehicle to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers, working in the fields relevant to grid and utility computing, to disseminate information and to learn from each other|s work.


Contents

IJGUC publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in grid and utility computing will occasionally be published.
