The dramatic increase in networking technologies and the resulting
proliferation of network-based applications has been transforming most
areas of computer science and engineering as well as computational
science and commercial applications.  This has lead to compute
environments that are increasingly heterogeneous and widely distributed.
A concomitant result is that efforts are being made to co-locate processing
power closer to where it is effective, which has been facilitated, if not enabled,
by the exponential growth in circuit density and processing power.  Hence,
the terms "active" and "intelligent" are being applied to networks, disks,
memory systems, embedded devices, etc., to denote the additional processing
and semantics that are possible in a widely connected environment.

This workshop will provide an outstanding opportunity to explore and present
the results of new, network-based software technologies that can harness
the potential of these new compute environments and open new research and
application fields for scientific and high-performance computing and ultimately
the multimedia and commercial worlds.  To brainstorm and collaborate on
defining frameworks for the realization of active middleware service-based
applications, development environments, and the required network and runtime
support infrastructure, we are soliciting extended abstracts in the following areas:

  • Dynamic, data-driven application systems
  • Intelligent networks, agents and scouts 
  • Programmable and active networks 
  • Network-enabled, active secondary storage 
  • Service dissemination and discovery protocols 
  • Proxies and middleware for deploying remote agents 
  • Environments and algorithms for agent application development 
  • Runtime support for intelligent, adaptive agents 
  • Performance management in heterogeneous, active environments 
  • Security in active service environments 
  • Active networks and storage as integral grid computing resources 
  • Programming paradigms, applications, and requirements for active grids
