Introduction
------------
The Across Grids Conference will take place in Santiago de Compostela
on 13-14 February 2003 organised by Crossgrid, CESGA, USC and UDC. It will
follow the yearly CrossGrid Workshop, which is an internal event on 10-12
February 2003.

Objectives and themes
---------------------
The objective of the Across Grids Conference is to bring together and to
support a collaboration of all people participating in European and other
Projects, researchers, developers, practitioners and potential users of grid
technologies.

This international meeting will cover
 - overview of main European grid projects,
 - presentation of hot research problems in grid,
 - examples of grid applications,
 - grid infrastructure, middleware, quality of service and other tools,
 - other grid related topics

Contributed presentation
------------------------

We encourage all colleagues working in this field to send in their grid
technologies related research. A presentation will be accepted on the basis
of an abstract in PDF or PS format, which should:
- contain the title, authors and their affiliations,
- have an extension of up to 1500 words including results and up to two
figures,
- be sent to acrossgrid@cesga.es before December 9, 2002 at 15:00 CET.

Submitted abstracts will undergo a peer review process. Selected abstracts
will be invited to send in the full paper version, which should not exceed
ten single-spaced typed pages, formated using the LNCS guidelines
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Papers will be selected
either for oral presentation or for poster sessions.

Selected papers and posters will be published after the Conference in
Springer LNCS.
