Scientific Applications Of Grid Computing: First International Workshop, Sag 2004, Beijing, China, September, 20-24, 2004 : Revised Selected And Invited Papers Sag 2004

We wish to extend a warm welcome to the reader of this extended postp- ceedings publication of SAG 2004, the 1st International Workshop on Scienti?c Applications on Grid Computing. This workshop was held in September 2004, in conjunction with the 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2004) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2004). The WI and IAT conferences have provided, for several years, a leading - ternational forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse ?elds,suchascomputerscience,informationtechnology,business,education,- man factors, systems engineering, and robotics, to explore the fundamental roles as well as practical impacts of arti?cial intelligence (AI) (e.g., knowledge r- resentation, planning, knowledge discovery, and data mining, intelligent agents and social network intelligence) and advanced information technology (IT) (e.g., wireless networks, ubiquitous devices, social networks, the Wisdom Web, and data/knowledge grids), and to examine the design principles and performance characteristics of various approaches in intelligent agent technology.

Besides 8 thoroughly revised reviewed full workshop papers selected from initially 29 submissions, 10 invited papers from leading researchers complete coverage of the relevant topics and make this book a representative survey of current research activities in the field of grid computing applications. The papers are organized in topical sections on data-based applications; bioinformatics applications; application architectures, frameworks, and models; accounting and market-based architecture; and resource and information management on the grid
