Preface
The International Symposium on Grid Computing 20101 was held at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan on 9th to 12th March 2010. A series of workshops and tutorials preceded the symposium, attracting 70 people. The symposium programme focussed on data driven e-Science highlighting use cases and successful applications of distributed computing infrastructures in the Asia Pacific region. There was a mixture of plenary and parallel sessions as well as a poster exhibition. The symposium attracted more than 150 participants from 27 countries spanning Asia, Europe and the Americas. The keynotes by invited speakers highlighted the impact of distributed computing infrastructures in research disciplines such as social sciences and humanities, civil protection, paediatrics and high energy physics. Having identified important use cases, further keynotes outlined plans for their long-term support and the move towards sustainable infrastructures across Asia, Europe and Latin America. Plenary sessions entitled Grid Activities in Asia Pacific surveyed the state of grid deployment across 12 Asian countries. For the first time there was participation from Latin American colleagues which opened possibilities for cooperation between groups in Asia and Latin America the two regions on research in the domain of natural disaster mitigation, epidemic studies and drug discovery for diseases such as dengue fever and malaria. Through the parallel sessions, the impact of distributed computing infrastructures in disciplines such as social sciences and humanities, life sciences, earth sciences, high energ
