Proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Middleware for Grids, Clouds and e-Science

The seventh edition of the MGC workshop series, encouraged researchers to submit and present original work related to middleware in Grids, Clouds, and e-Science. Within this overall scope, MGC 2009 emphasized issues of scalability in terms of grid and cloud mechanisms for computation and data scaling as well as adaptive and semantic mechanisms for scaling capabilities across disciplines and over time. Six papers were selected out of the eighteen originally submitted, and extended thoroughly revised selected papers should appear in a CPE issue.
