Welcome from the Program Chair

Abstract

Welcome to Sofia and the IEEE JVA 2006 Symposium on Modern Computing. The symposium features 3 keynote addresses and 38 invited and contributed papers in topic areas corresponding to the four tracks of the symposium – Information Systems and Grid Technologies, Advanced Algorithms and Applications, Complex and Intelligent Systems, and High Productivity Computing. It is particularly positive to see a number of young researchers’ studies included as papers in these proceedings, and we will have even more young colleagues presentations at the JVA 2006 Symposium Posters Session. In addition, tutorial lectures on the 3 of October and panel discussions are also part of the symposium program. This is a rich and diverse program, and I am confident that these presentations will bring interesting new perspectives to research in modern computing.
