IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing (Cluster 2009)

Friday 4th September 2009, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

 

Call for papers

 

The number of Web 2.0 services and applications, widely used by Internet users,

academics, industry and enterprise, are growing rapidly, which demonstrates its

solid foundations. These technologies and services are based on the open standards

that underpin the Internet and Web, and are used in many forms, e.g. blogs, wikis,

mashups, social websites, podcasting and content tagging. This field is having a

significant impact on distributed infrastructure and applications, and on the way users

and developers interact. It is important to understand the influence of this theme

because Web 2.0 is providing endless opportunities in academia; the general public,

which in turn is driving the business agenda in enterprises and industry, is increasingly

using it. This workshop aims to deliver a greater understanding of the influence and

changes to be expected regarding e-Research infrastructure, applications and the way

users and developers interact.

  - The use of Cloud-based services,

  - Using RESTful services,
