| # SPONSORS          | A new era of large scale, distributed          |
|                     | applications are exploiting advances in        |
| IEEE & IEEE         | networking, high-end computers, large data     |
| Computer Society    | stores and middleware capabilities to address  |
|                     | challenging problems. This workshop focuses on |
| National Science    | the complex issues that arise in large-scale   |
| Foundation          | applications of distributed computation, and   |
|                     | promotes the development of innovative         |
| U.S. Dept. of       | applications that effectively use distributed  |
| Energy, Office of   | resources, e.g., to adapt to heterogeneity and |
| Science             | dynamics in space and time. This includes      |
|                     | recent results on the development, deployment, |
