05 Feb '15

Call for Papers: ADiS-2015, International Workshop on Autonomic Distributed Systems http://adis.hpc.pub.ro Workshop Description -------------------- ADiS workshop is dedicated to dissemination and evaluation of current advance solutions for autonomic computing in Large Scale Distributed Systems (LSDS). Autonomic Computing is based on the self-management capability of LSDS, more specific on the self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection properties. In LSDS, one of the most important aspects is the dependability, which means to increase the reliability, availability, safety and security of the system. The models used in the development of systems with such capabilities combine monitoring, scheduling, data management, security, and fault tolerance. This is a challenge of today research, due to the strong requirements imposed by the dynamic behavior of the user and resource communities. Autonomic computing represent also a greatest challenge faced by the IT industry: conquering the growing complexity of large-scale systems. The purpose of the workshop is to provide an open forum for researchers from academia and other research community to present, discusses, and exchange related ideas, results, and experiences in this area. The workshop also aims at stimulating synergies between these new approaches, autonomic computing for LSDS and self-organizing distributed systems, and the traditional models in this domain.

04 Feb '15

================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ===================================== BioMed Research International Special issue on High Performance Computing for Biological Data Analysis and Molecular Dynamics ====================================================================================== http://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/si/149743/cfp ===================================================================================== Propelled by real-world challenging biological problems such as searching large-scale, ever-increasing biological databases, and tackling the flood of next generation sequencing data, computing has become an integral part of the research and development in bioinformatics and computational biology. These biological problems are usually compute-intensive, memory-intensive, or data-intensive and have therefore established strong needs for powerful hardware computing architectures and sophisticated high performance algorithms in order for efficient data management and analysis. Moreover, molecular dynamics methods are an established mechanism for determining the equilibrium and transport properties of a classical many-body system. Today, molecular dynamics techniques are being used to simulate larger and more complex biological systems, in areas such as disease, vaccine, and drug research. This places increasing demands on high performance computing (HPC) resources. We invite authors to submit original research and review articles that target biological data analysis and molecular dynamics problems. Papers must be related to the design and implementation of high performance algorithms and parallel computing systems for bioinformatics and computational biology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Bioinformatics databases Computational genomics and metagenomics Gene expression analysis with RNA-Seq and microarrays Gene identification and annotation Molecular evolution and phylogeny inference Molecular dynamics simulation of biomolecules Next generation sequencing (NGS) Protein structure prediction and modeling Big data solutions to biological applications Cluster, grid, and cloud computing Hardware accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, x86/SSE, and Xeon Phis Energy-aware high performance biological applications High performance algorithms for systems biology Parallel algorithms and HPC architectures for biological applications BioMed Research International is published using an open access publication model, meaning that all interested readers are able to freely access the journal online at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/contents/ without the need for a subscription. All published articles will be made available on PubMed Central and indexed in PubMed at the time of publication. The most recent Impact Factor for BioMed Research International is 2.706 according to 2013 Journal Citation Reports released by Thomson Reuters (ISI) in 2014. Authors can submit their manuscripts via the Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/bmri/computational.biology/hpca and the call-for-papers PDF file can be downloaded from http://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/si/149743.pdf.

Call for Papers - Submission Due Date (extended): February 15, 2015 The 5th IEEE International Workshop on Data Center Performance (DCPerf'15) Columbus, Ohio, USA, June 29 - July 2, 2015 http://www.zurich.ibm.com/dcperf15 in conjunction with ICDCS'15: The 35th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems http://icdcs-2015.cse.ohio-state.edu/ Data centers have become an integral part of the backbone infrastructure for information technology. In particular, they provide a cost efficient solution for provisioning a wide range of computing resources in diverse environments such as business, scientific, and mobile. Due to the rapid growth of user-defined and user-generated programs, applications and content, the complexity of deploying and operating data centers continues to increase. Considering the high volume of mixed workloads, the diversity of services offered, and the increasing mobility of users across geographically distributed areas, the performance optimization of data centers has become ever more necessary and challenging, especially in view of criteria such as scalability, reliability, manageability, power efficiency, area density, and operating costs. The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion to find and identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable data center performance optimizations. We are looking for papers that present new techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss strategies for resolving open performance problems of data centers.

These risks could arise from deviations from the normal operation that could lead to a reduction or interruption of the QoS, service shortages, or incidents. Cloud Incident Management, as a novel research direction, is addressing specific issues that are related to cloud services, bringing under the same umbrella relevant topics including cloud management automation, SLA and QoS management (and specifically management of SLA incidents), Cloud forensics and targeting the resolution of deviations from normal operations. TOPICS OF INTEREST Authors are invited to submit papers that fall into the area of cloud incident management. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Cloud incident management architectures, workflows and automated handling processes; - Techniques and algorithms for cloud incident detection and classification; - Root cause analysis in cloud computing; - Engineering of self-healing cloud autonomic systems; - Resilient service provisioning in cloud computing; - Cloud forensic investigations, electronic discovery (eDiscovery); - Audit, security, privacy, and compliance management for cloud computing; - Cloud quality management and service level agreement (SLA); - Cloud configuration, performance, and capacity management; - Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations of emerging software technologies; - Analysis of cloud anti-patterns for incident avoidance PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Full papers will be submitted via EasyChair system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aimc15 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aimc15> The submission format will follow the recommended format of the EuroSys conference, and must be no longer than 12 numbered pages, excluding references for which additional pages can be used. Papers must be formatted using a 10pt font, single spacing (minimum 11pt spacing between lines), two columns with 0.33 inches between columns, and a text box of 7 by 9 inches.
