Introduction

The CCGrid symposium series serves as a major international forum for presenting and sharing recent research accomplishments and technological developments in the field of Cluster, Cloud and Grid computing. The symposium is popular among researchers and practitioners from both industry and academia. The first CCGrid Symposium started in Brisbane, Australia, in 2001. Since then, the conference has successfully been hosted around the world. The conferences from 2002 to 2011 were held in Germany, Japan, USA, UK, Singapore, Brazil, France, China, Australia, and USA, respectively. This year, the 12th International Symposium is going to be held in Ottawa, Canada. The symposium is sponsored by IEEE and ACM (approval pending).
