It is our pleasure to announce that the International Symposium on Grid Computing (ISGC) 2008 was successfully held at Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan from 7 to 11 April 2008. Organized by ASGC since 2002, ISGC is stepping into the 7th year of this grand event. ISGC is one of the most significant annual international events in Asia Pacific region that brings together scientists and engineers worldwide to exchange ideas, to present on challenges, solutions and future development issues in the field of Grid Computing.

Around five years ago, we first began to realize that grid middleware
and toolkits alone are insufficient to achieve the vision of grid
computing. For success, we must focus on deployment, taking advantage
of user needs—such as the needs of the high energy physics community
and the Large Hadron Collider—to drive a production infrastructure.
On 4 October 2002, the Grid Deployment Board of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid
held their first meeting in Milano, Italy. The meeting was chaired by
Mirco Mazzucato and included 26 participants as well as WLCG project
leader Les Robertson, computing coordinators from the...

The concept of Grid Computing is an extension of the Internet used to share widespread computing power, storage capabilities, and many other resources. Over the last few years, it has gradually gained prominence in academic and research communities. Many fields--such as High Energy Physics, Bio-Informatics, and Digital Archive--demand greater storage capacities due to the deluge of data and information being created. Grid Computing makes on-demand allocation and management of integrated computing resources possible. However, Grid Computing requires more development before it can become the next generation computing infrastructure.
