EGEE is teaming up with SpringerLink, the publishers of the Journal of Grid Computing, to produce a special issue entitled "EGEE applications and supporting technologies".

This will give the 96 oral presenters at the User Forum an opportunity to prepare a full paper describing their work, which will be reviewed by their peers.

The publishers are looking for 15–20-page papers describing original and significant work involving applications on EGEE, and the use and development of key Grid technologies. The areas of interest are:
• Scientific results obtained using Grid technology.
• Planned or ongoing scientific work using the Grid.
• Experiences from application porting and deployment.
• Grid services exploiting and extending the gLite middleware (job management, data management, monitoring, workflows, etc).
• Programming environments.
• End-user environments and portal technologies.
• Emerging technologies within the EGEE infrastructure (cloud, virtualization, etc).

Author instructions are available at www.springer.com/computer/communications/journal/10723.

The deadline for paper submission is 31 July 2009, final acceptance confirmation will be in March 2010 and the final edition is due to be published in September 2010.
