I am very happy to welcome you to the HPDC workshop on Grid Monitoring.
Grid computing is evolving very rapidly both in terms of the amount of provided resources as well as in terms of the number of clients using the computational power, network and storage facilities provided by the Grid. Grid infrastructures of national, regional and international scope have been built over last years and have attracted users from scientific and industrial domains. Operating these infrastructures, increasing their scalability, reliability and performance is currently becoming a high priority task. It is not possible to fulfill these tasks without good monitoring aiming to increase the quality of the Grid infrastructures, the effectiveness of the use and the sharing of the provided resources as well as facilitating the everyday work of the operating teams. On the other hand the monitoring systems with simple, user-friendly interfaces will make users feel familiar with the Grid regardless of their level of expertise in Grid computing. All these arguments show the importance of Grid monitoring which will be discussed during the workshop.
The program committee accepted 7 papers covering various aspects of Grid monitoring and describing systems monitoring local fabrics, Grid services, Grid infrastructures in general or providing monitoring view from the user perspective. We believe that the accepted papers summarize current experience and can serve as a reference for the developers of the Grid monitoring tools.

Grid systems must provide its users with precise and reliableinformation about the status and usage of available resources. The efficient distribution of this information enables Virtual Organizations (VOs) to optimize the utilization strategies of ...
Global grid monitoring: the EGEE/WLCG case
Grids have the potential to revolutionize computing by providing ubiquitous, on demand access to computational services and resources. However, grid systems are extremely large, complex and prone to failures. In this paper we present a tool able to to ...
A uniform job monitoring service in multiple job universes
We describe an ongoing work of extending the gLite Logging and Bookkeeping (L&B) service to be able to track additional types of jobs, with the vision of being able to uniformly follow jobs on the Grid, even when they pass between different middleware ...
Grid infrastructure monitoring system based on Nagios
Monitoring in distributed environment such as a grid is crucial for normal operation of all subsystems. Constant gathering of information enables efficient security auditing, failure detection, maintenance, job scheduling, accounting, resource ...
User-level grid monitoring with Inca 2
The primary goal in the creation of Grids is to provide unified and coherent access to distributed computing, data storage and analysis, instruments, and other resources to advance scientific exploration. Grids combine multiple complex and ...
Monitoring, accounting and automated decision support for the alice experiment based on the MonALISA framework
The successful administration of a global Data Grid system requires collecting and storing relevant monitoring information, using it to show the status and the trends of the entire system. The collected information is further used in developing the ...
