This proceedings volume contains the refereed and revised papers presented at the ten workshops held in conjunction with the 4th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA 2006), in S- rento, Italy, December 4-6, 2006. The objective of the workshops is to provide an outstanding international forum for academics, educators, engineering, and industrial professionals to contribute and to disseminate innovative and sta- of-the-art research, to report, discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results,experience,work-in-progress,andcasestudiesonhigh-performancec- puting and networking. These workshops are: – FHPCN 2006: Workshop on Frontiers of High-Performance Computing and Networking – XHPC 2006: Workshop on XEN in HPC Cluster and Grid Computing Environments – S-GRACE 2006: Workshop on Semantic Grid Applications in Computing and Engineering – GridGIS2006:WorkshoponFertilizationofGridComputingandGeographic Information Systems – HPC-GTP 2006: Workshop on High-Performance Computing in Genomic Proteomics and Transcriptomics – PDCE2006:WorkshoponParallelandDistributedComputinginEngineering – ParDMCom 2006: Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Multimedia Computing – WOMP 2006: Workshop on Middleware Performance – ISDF 2006: Workshop on Information Security and Digital Forensics – UPWN 2006: Workshop on Ubiquitous Processing for Wireless Networks The FHPCN 2006 workshop constituted 40 papers that were carefully - lected from manuscripts submitted for potential publication at the conference. These papers are organized in four special tracks: System Architectures; M- dlewareand Cooperative Computing; Techniques, Algorithms and Applications; and Advanced Networking. Each of the additional nine workshops focused on a particular theme of high-performance computing and networking and comp- mented the spectrum of the main conference and FHPCN workshop.
