This volume comprises the edited proceedings of the second CoreGRID Integration Workshop, CGIW'2006, held October 2006 in Krakow, Poland. A "Network of Excellence" funded by the European Commission's Sixth Framework Program, CoreGRID aims to strengthen and advance scientific and technological excellence in the area of Grid and Peer-to-Peer technologies by bringing together a critical mass of well-established researchers from 41 European research institutions.

Integration of Research in Grid Computing covers, though is not limited to, the following topics: knowledge and data management; programming models; system architecture; grid information, resource and workflow monitoring services; resource management and scheduling; systems, tools and environments; and trust and security issues on the Grid.

Designed for a professional audience of industry practitioners and researchers, the volume is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science.

Zusammenfassung
This volume is a selection of best papers presented at the CoreGRID - tegration Workshop 2006 (CGIW'2006), which took place on 1920 October 2006 in Krakow, Poland. The workshop was organised by the Network of Excellence CoreGRID funded by the European Commission under the sixth Framework Programme IST-2003-2.3.2.8 starting September 1st, 2004 for a duration of four years. CoreGRID aims at strengthening and advancing scienti?c and technological excellence of Europe in the area of Grid and Peer-to-Peer technologies. To achieve this objective, the network brings together a critical mass of we- established researchers from forty institutions who have constructed an - bitious joint programme of activities. The goal of the workshop is to promote the integration of the CoreGRID network and of the European research community in the area of Grid and P2P technologies, in order to overcome the current fragmentation and duplication of efforts in this area. The list of topics of Grid research covered at the workshop included but was not limited to: knowledge and data management; programming models; system architecture; Grid information, resource and work?ow monitoring services; resource management and scheduling; systems, tools and environments; trust and security issues on the Grid. Priority at the workshop was given to work conducted in collaboration between partners from different research institutions and to promising research prop- als that can foster such collaboration in the future.
