CCGrid is a successful series of conferences that serves as the major international forum for presenting and sharing recent research results and technological developments in the fields of Cluster, Cloud and Grid computing. The CCGrid symposium, which is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and the ACM, reaches out to both researchers and practioners, and to both academia and industry. The conference features keynotes, technical presentations, posters, workshops, tutorials, as well as the SCALE challenge featuring live demonstrations. CCGrid 2016 will come to Colombia, South America for the first time, and it will be held in Cartagena, a historical, picturesque modern port city on Colombia′s Caribbean Coast, which was designated on 1984 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
