18th International Conference on Grid Computing (GridCom 2026) brings together researchers, practitioners, and innovators at the forefront of large scale distributed systems and service oriented computing. As modern enterprises and scientific communities increasingly rely on complex, data intensive, and computationally demanding workflows, grid computing continues to play a pivotal role in enabling seamless access to distributed processing, networking, and storage resources. By integrating these heterogeneous capabilities into a cohesive, service oriented environment, grid computing empowers the execution of advanced distributed applications across e-Science, industry, and business ecosystems.
Service oriented computing has become a foundational design paradigm for large scale business and scientific systems, and grid computing enhances this paradigm by orchestrating powerful, homogeneous distributed resources to optimize the performance of time consuming processes.
The conference aims to foster deep technical exchange, inspire new directions, and support the continued evolution of scalable, efficient, and intelligent distributed systems.
