Grid and Pervasive Computing (GPC) is an annual international conference on the emerging areas of grid computing and pervasive computing, aimed at p- viding an exciting platform and paradigm for all-the-time, everywhere services. GPC 2010 provided a high-pro?le, leading-edgeforum for researchersand dev- opers from industry and academia to present their latest research in the ?eld of grid and pervasive computing. Three workshops were held in conjunction with the GPC 2010 conference: * The First International Workshop on Intelligent Management of Networked Environment (IMNE 2010) * International Workshop on Multimedia Applications for Cloud (MAC 2010) * The 6thInternationalWorkshopon Mobile Commerce andServices (WMCS 2010) The proceedingsof these workshoparealso included in this volume. We received 184 papers originating from 22 countries. The Program Committee ?nally - lected 67 papers for presentation at the conference and inclusion in this LNCS volume.
