applications; present innovative software tools, environments and
middleware; focus on various aspects of grid computing; introduce novel
methods for development, deployment, testing and evaluation are invited.

DAPSYS 2008 will feature a special focus on desktop grid computing.
Contributions that investigate desktop grids and volunteer computing
systems, large-scale computing applications, present recent advances of
scalability, fault-tolerance and security in desktop grid systems are
