August 27-29, 2009
Lanzhou China

Paper Submission Deadline: April 15, 2009

************************************************************

We are pleased to invite you once again to participate in the premier annual event of The International Workshop on Personalization in Grid and Service Computing (PGSC2009).

The 3rd workshop follows last year?ˉs inaugural event in Shenzhen. It will be held in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Grid and Cooperative Computing (GCC 2009).

************************************************************
Call for Papers

Research on personalization in combination with semantic technologies has become a hot topic in Grid, SOA and Pervasive Computing. The Grid and Service Computing paradigm tries to enable all kinds of resources or services being shared or composed across the Internet. Under such paradigm, information and service supply faces new challenges, i.e. how to deal with large amounts of services, how to handle service composition in dynamic environments or how to customize processes to individual needs. Personalization for processes and services in such dynamic environments is one of the most exciting trends in Grid/Pervasive Computing today that holds the potential to enrich user experiences and make our daily life more productive, convenient, and enjoyable.
The topics of this workshop focus on all the aspects around personalized processes and services in the Grid/Pervasive Computing field, ranging from its theoretical foundations, supporting infrastructures, engineering approaches, to its applications and case studies.
Following the success of PGSC2007 and PGSC2008 in conjunction with GCC2007 and GCC2008, PGSC2009 intends to continue providing a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas, developments, and experiences on the personalization issues of processes and services in the Gird/Pervasive Computing field.

************************************************************
TOPICS OF INTEREST

PGSC 2009 welcomes papers that focus on novel solutions on the recent developments in the general areas of Grid/Web services, Semantic Web, and Pervasive Computing.

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

- Models and languages for formal specification of personalization
- Personalization in Grid/Cloud Computing and Pervasive Computing
- Service Personalization, Resource & Service Modeling, Service Matching
- Context & Situation-Aware Processes and Service Adaptation
- Personalization and Web services standards
- Personalization Using Semantic Technologies
- Semantic Platforms/Infrastructures for Grid/Cloud & SOA Applications
- Requirement Engineering for Personalized and Evolvable Applications
- User Modeling
- Personalized User Interfaces and Interaction Patterns
- Case Studies from Different Application Domains

************************************************************

Workshop:                   One day of August 27-29, 2009

************************************************************
PAPER FORMAT & SUBMISSION

Unpublished original papers are solicited. Papers are not to exceed 8 pages at maximum in IEEE double-column format. Formatting instructions are available in IEEE’s Author Digital Tool Box at  http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/journmag/transactions/TRANS-JOUR.doc.

Paper submissions must be made anonymous to facilitate double blind review. In order to make double blind reviewing possible, authors should omit their names and affiliations from the paper. Also, while the references should include all published literature relevant to the paper, including previous works of the authors, it should not include unpublished works. When referring to one's own work, use the third person rather than the first person. For example, say "Previously, Smith [7] has shown that...", rather than "In our previous work [7] we have shown that....". Try to avoid including any information in the body of the paper or references that would identify the authors or their institutions. Such information can be added to the final camera-ready version for publication.

Papers must be submitted electronically to:
https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=pgsc2009
in PDF format according to pdf specifications for IEEE Xplore (http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs/pubs/confstandards/pdfs/IEEE-PDF-SpecV401.pdf).

All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society if at least one of the authors registers to GCC2009 to present the work.
