We would like to invite you to participate in the Europe-Philippines International Workshop on Modeling, Simulation and Grid Computing (MODEL 2009) to be held on May 4 - 6, 2009 in Holy Name University, Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines.

MODEL is a workshop series that is convened every two years since 1999. It started in November 1999 in Ateneo de Manila University (MODEL ‘99), followed by MODEL 2001 in MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (Iligan City), MODEL 2003 in Philippine Science High School (Quezon City), MODEL 2005 in the University of Cebu (Banilad Campus, Cebu City), and MODEL 2007 in Boracay Regency Resort and Convention Center (Boracay Island, Aklan).

MODEL 2009 is being organized by the Ateneo de Manila University Grid and High Performance Computing Group (A-GRID) in cooperation with the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP) and Holy Name University.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:

1. To provide a forum for exchange of ideas, information, and research outputs on modeling, simulation, scientific computing, cluster computing and Grid computing among academics, research scientists, industry practitioners, and students.
2. To promote the development of mathematical and computer modeling, simulation, scientific computing, cluster computing and Grid computing in the Philippines.
3. To promote research collaborations between Philippine institutions and international institutions, specially between Europe and the Philippines.

SCOPE:

MODEL 2009 will feature tutorials on Cluster and Grid Computing by experts from Europe and Asia, keynote talks, special lectures by invited speakers, and research paper presentations on modeling, simulation, and scientific computing, cluster computing and Grid computing. It is supported by two international projects: the EUAsiaGrid project (http://www.euasiagr id.org/) funded by the European Commission and the Germany-Philippine Collaboration on Grid Computing Project, funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research.

Topics include (but are not limited to):

Mathematical/ Statistical/ Computational Modeling
Computer Simulation
High-Performance Computing and Communications
Cluster Computing
