Local and global scheduling and heavy resource sharing are main features carried by Grid networks. Grids offer a uniform interface to a distributed collection of heterogeneous computational, storage and network resources. Most current operational Grids are dedicated to a limited set of computationally and/or data intensive scientific problems.
Optical burst switching enables these features while offering the necessary network flexibility demanded by future Grid applications. Currently ongoing research and achievements refers to high performance and computability in Grid networks. However, the communication and computation mechanisms for Grid applications require further development, deployment and validation.
The International Workshop on Grid over Optical Burst Switching Networks, GOBS 2007, brings together practitioners and researchers for discussion and work on the emerging aspects pertaining to advanced techniques, platforms, paradigms, theories, and techniques for designing and deployment of Grid over optical burst switching networks.
TOPICS OF SPECIAL INTEREST (but not limited to):
- Terabit burst switching
- Burst assembly for IP DiffServ over optical burst switching networks
- Optical network infrastructure for Grid
- Synchronous stream optical burst switching
- Optical burst switching based GRID architecture
- Reliable optical burst switching for next-generation Grid networks
- Throughput for Grid optical burst switching Grid networks.
- Resiliency paths over the optical Grid networks
- Consumer oriented Grids using optical burst switching
- Protocols for optical burst switched Grid networks
- Hybrid optical switching for data-intensive media Grid
- Anycast routing in optical burst switched Grid networks
- Optical burst switching for IP-over-WDM/DWDM

| Registration and camera ready | March 30 , 2007 |
Regular papers
Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received papers will be acknowledged via the EDAS system.
Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page.
Once you receive the notification of paper acceptance, you will be provided by the IEEE CS Press an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.
Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations
The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will be published in the conference’s CD collection, together with the regular papers. Please send your presentations to petre@iaria.org or mario@di.ubi.pt
Tutorials
Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals can be for half or full day tutorials. Please send your proposals to mario@di.ubi.pt
Panel proposals
The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies. Please send your proposals to mario@di.ubi.pt
