Extension of paper submission deadline to CAGing 2013 (WETICE track)
by Stolf 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Dear Colleague, The deadline of paper submission to CAGing 2013 (WETICE track) is extented to February 11, 2013. Please find attached the call for papers for the CAGing 2013 track of WETICE conference. I apologize for any cross posting. ------------------------------------------- WETICE 2013 22st IEEE International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Infrastructures CAGing is a track of 22 st WETICE annual IEEE co-sponsored International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Infrastructure. Proceedings are published by the IEEE CS Press. Green computing is nowadays a major challenge for a large community. For example, a datacenter consumes 2% of global electricity and this will continue to grow. The integration of green preoccupations can be done at different levels: hardware, network, operating system, applications, etc. In parallel, the architecture of computer systems and software is becoming more and more complex and distributed. Grids and clouds are good example of those trends. The size and complexity of such a system can no longer be managed at the human level or with scripts. The use of collaborative methods and autonomic computing could solve many problems: configuration, performance, safety, availability, scalability of solution, accuracy of the solution, etc. This track focuses on collaborative approach, autonomic models, green dynamic architecture, algorithms, middleware and experimentation with green computing concern. It aims to provide a forum for academia and industry to discuss recent and innovative results. TOPICS Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - collaborative green computing middleware - green-oriented Autonomic computing - scalability issues of green middleware - QoS and green computing - green-aware system configuration and reconfiguration - green profiling applications - green resources management and / or simulation - component model for green computing - cooperative resource management and control in green computing - tools and simulators for green computing - cross-layer and multi-level coordination of green policies IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline : february 1, 2013 Notification to authors : march 15, 2013 Paper author's registration deadline : may 1, 2013 WETICE-2013 Conference : june 17-20, 2013 INVITED SPEAKERS More Information about the all invited speakers can be found in :http://www.wetice.org SUBMISSION Participants are expected to submit an original research paper or a position paper, not submitted or published elsewhere. All submissions should be electronic (in PDF/PS) and will be peer-reviewed by at least three program committee members. Submission should include the title of the paper, the names and affiliations of the authors, a 150-word abstract and at most eight keywords. Submission should follow the IEEE format (single spaced, two columns, 10pt, Times/Roman font) and not exceed eight pages, including figures. Please submit papers with easychair at this address: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=wetice2013 Accepted papers will be published along with the WETICE 2013 proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

CfP Springer Cluster Computing Journal - Special Issue on Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications - Deadline extension
by Federico Silla 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

(Apologies for multiple copies) We've extended the submission deadline for the UCAA special issue of the Springer Cluster Computing Journal to February 17th, 2013. ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Springer Cluster Computing The Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications Editor-in-Chief: Salim Hariri Special Issue on Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications Guest Editors: Federico Silla, Holger Frï¿½ning http://www.hucaa-workshop.org/clustersi2013 Paper submission: February 17th, 2013 ====================================================================== This CLUSTER COMPUTING JOURNAL special issue gears to gather recent work on unconventional cluster architectures and applications, which potentially have a big impact on defining future cluster architectures. This includes any cluster architecture that is not based on the usual commodity components and therefore makes use of some special hard- or software elements, or that is used for very special and unconventional applications. Examples include GPUs, MICs (Many Integrated Core), FLASH and FPGAs on the hardware side, and run-time management, virtualization, in-memory storage and device-to-device communication on the software side. We are in particular encouraging work on disruptive approaches, which may show inferior performance today but can already point out their full performance potential. The broad scope of the special issue facilitates submissions on unconventional uses of hardware or software, gearing to gather ideas that are coming to life now and not limiting them except for their context: clusters. We are seeking new proposals presented from a holistic perspective. In this regard, one of the aims of the special issue is anticipating the evolution of clusters, instead of just presenting new work carried out in the traditional cluster areas usually addressed in other journals and conferences. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include any unconventional cluster architecture or application. Examples include, but are not limited to: - High-performance, data-intensive, and power-aware computing - Application-specific clusters, datacenters, and high performance cloud architectures - Software cluster-level virtualization for consolidation purposes - Principles from organic computing applied to cluster architectures - Hardware techniques for disaggregation of resources - Management techniques for large-scale systems - New uses of GPUs, FPGAs, and other specialized hardware - Dedicated support for novel parallel programming paradigms like PGAS or MapReduce - New industry and technology trends and their potential impact on one of the above IMPORTANT DATES - Paper submission: February 17th, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: May 1st, 2013 - Final Manuscript Due: June 3rd, 2013 - Publication of Special Issue: 4th Quarter 2013 GUEST EDITORS - Federico Silla, Technical University of Valencia, Spain, fsilla(a)disca.upv.es - Holger Frï¿½ning, University of Heidelberg, Germany, froening(a)uni-hd.de SUBMISSION For further information about formatting instructions and submissions, please check the journal web site: http://www.springer.com/journal/10586 The maximum number of pages in IEEE double column format is 10 pages, the length of the final article should not exceed 10 pages. Please note that authors are required to submit their work in Latex, Word, TXT or similar, but not PDF. The final formatting is being done by Springer.
