Data volumes of applications in the fields of sciences and engineering, finance, media, online information resources, etc. are expected to double every two years over the next decade and further. With this continuing data explosion, it is necessary to store and process data efficiently by utilizing enormous computing power that is available in the form of multicore/manycore platforms. There is no doubt in the industry and research community that the importance of data intensive computing has been raising and will continue to be the foremost fields of research. This raise brings up many research issues, in forms of capturing and accessing data effectively and fast, processing it while still achieving high performance and high throughput, and storing it efficiently for future use. Programming for high performance yielding data intensive computing is an important challenging issue. Expressing data access requirements of applications and designing programming language abstractions to exploit parallelism are at immediate need. Application and domain specific optimizations are also parts of a viable solution in data intensive computing. While these are a few examples of issues, research in data intensive computing has become quite intense during the last few years yielding strong results. This special issue of the Journal Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC) is seeking original unpublished research articles that describe recent advances and efforts in the design and development of data intensive computing, functionalities and capabilities that will benefit many applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Data-intensive applications and their challenges * Storage and file systems * High performance data access toolkits * Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability * Meta-data management * Remote data access * Programming models, abstractions for data intensive computing * Compiler and runtime support * Data capturing, management, and scheduling techniques * Future research challenges of data intensive computing * Performance optimization techniques * Replication, archiving, preservation strategies * Real-time data intensive computing * Network support for data intensive computing * Challenges and solutions in the era of multi/many-core platforms * Stream computing * Green (Power efficient) data intensive computing * Security and protection of sensitive data in collaborative environments * Data intensive computing on accelerators and GPUs Guide for Authors Papers need not be solely abstract or conceptual in nature: proofs and experimental results can be included as appropriate. Authors should follow the JPDC manuscript format as described in the "Information for Authors" at the end of each issue of JPDC or at http://ees.elsevier.com/jpdc/ . The journal version will be reviewed as per JPDC review process for special issues. Important Dates: Paper Submission : January 15, 2010 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection : May 31, 2010 Final Version of the Paper : September 15, 2010 Submission Guidelines All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES) at http://ees.elsevier.com/jpdc. Authors must select "Special Issue: Data Intensive Computing" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. First time users must register themselves as Author.

Extended Deadline: Workshop on Large-Scale Parallel Processing (LSPP'10)
by Darren 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers: Workshop on LARGE-SCALE PARALLEL PROCESSING to be held in conjunction with IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium Atlanta, Georgia April 23rd, 2010 EXTENDED DEADLINE: December 18th 2009 (Final) Selected work presented at the workshop will be published in a special issue of Parallel Processing Letters. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The workshop on Large-Scale Parallel Processing is a forum that focuses on computer systems that utilize thousands of processors and beyond. This is a very active area given the goals of many researchers world-wide to enhance science-by-simulation through installing large-scale multi-petaflop systems at the start of the next decade. Large-scale systems, referred to by some as extreme-scale and Ultra-scale, have many important research aspects that need detailed examination in order for their effective design, deployment, and utilization to take place. These include handling the substantial increase in multi-core on a chip, the ensuing interconnection hierarchy, communication, and synchronization mechanisms. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from different communities working on challenging problems in this area for a dynamic exchange of ideas. Work at early stages of development as well as work that has been demonstrated in practice is equally welcome. Of particular interest are papers that identify and analyze novel ideas rather than providing incremental advances in the following areas: - LARGE-SCALE SYSTEMS : exploiting parallelism at large-scale, the coordination of large numbers of processing elements, synchronization and communication at large-scale, programming models and productivity - MULTI-CORE : utilization of increased parallelism on a single chip (MPP on a chip such as the Cell and GPUs), the possible integration of these into large-scale systems, and dealing with the resulting hierarchical connectivity. - NOVEL ARCHITECTURES AND EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEMS : the design of novel systems, the use of processors in memory (PIMS), parallelism in emerging technologies, future trends. - APPLICATIONS : novel algorithmic and application methods, experiences in the design and use of applications that scale to large-scales, overcoming of limitations, performance analysis and insights gained. Results of both theoretical and practical significance will be considered, as well as work that has demonstrated impact at small-scale that will also affect large-scale systems. Work may involve algorithms, languages, various types of models, or hardware. ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should not exceed eight single-space pages (including figures, tables and references) using a 12-point font on 8.5x11 inch pages. Submissions in PostScript or PDF should be made using EDAS (www.edas.info) Informal enquiries can be made to djk(a)lanl.gov. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, presentation quality and appropriateness. Submitted papers should not have appeared in or under consideration for another venue. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: December 18th 2009 (Final) Notification of acceptance: January 15th 2010 Camera-Ready Papers due: February 1st 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS Darren J.
