Desktop grids and volunteer computing systems utilize the
free resources available in Intranet and Internet
environments for supporting large-scale computation and
storage. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum
for discussing recent advances and identifying open issues
for the development of scalable, fault-tolerant, and secure
desktop grid systems. This year's
workshop will have special emphasis on the interaction of clouds and
desktop grids.
