IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2016

Advances in architectures, networks, systems and middleware technologies are leading to new concepts and platforms for computing, ranging from Clusters and Grids to Clouds and Datacenters. The 16th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium in Cluster, Cloud, and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2016) is a forum bringing together international researchers, developers, and practitioners to present leading research activities and results on a broad range of topics related to these concepts, platforms, and their applications. The conference features keynotes, technical presentations, workshops, and posters, as well as the Doctoral Symposium and the SCALE challenge featuring live demonstrations. In 2016, CCGRID will come to Colombia, South America, for the first time, and will be held in Cartagena, a historical, picturesque modern port city on Colombia´s Caribbean Cost, since 1984 designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
