20 Sep '17

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. This is the final extension to the submission deadline. DataCloud 2017: The Eighth International Workshop on Data-Intensive Computing in the Clouds Denver, CO, USA, November 12, 2017 Conference website https://sites.google.com/view/2017datacloud/home Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=datacloud2017 Submission deadline (final extension) October 1, 2017 Applications and experiments in all areas of science are becoming increasingly complex and more demanding in terms of their computational and data requirements. Some applications generate data volumes reaching hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes. As scientific applications become more data intensive, the management of data resources and data flow between the storage and compute resources is becoming the main bottleneck. Analyzing, visualizing, and disseminating these large data sets has become a major challenge and data intensive computing is now considered as the “fourth paradigm” in scientific discovery after theoretical, experimental, and computational science. The eighth international workshop on Data-intensive Computing in the Clouds (DataCloud 2017) will provide the scientific community a dedicated forum for discussing new research, development, and deployment efforts in running data-intensive computing workloads on Cloud Computing infrastructures. The DataCloud 2017 workshop will focus on the use of cloud-based technologies to meet the new data intensive scientific challenges that are not well served by the current supercomputers, grids or compute-intensive clouds. We believe the workshop will be an excellent place to help the community define the current state, determine future goals, and present architectures and services for future clouds supporting data intensive computing. Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not more than 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines; document templates can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. The final papers in PDF format must be submitted online at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=datacloud2017. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library (in cooperation with SIGHPC). Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. List of Topics * Data-intensive cloud computing infrastructure, applications, characteristics and challenges * Case studies of data intensive computing in the clouds * Performance evaluation of data clouds, data grids, and data centers * Energy-efficient data cloud design and management * Data placement, scheduling, and interoperability in the clouds * Accountability, QoS, and SLAs * Data privacy and protection in a public cloud environment * Distributed file systems for clouds * Data streaming and parallelization * New programming models for data-intensive cloud computing * Scalability issues in clouds * Social computing and massively social gaming * 3D Internet and implications * Future research challenges in data-intensive cloud computing Committees Program Chairs * Tonglin Li, Oak Ridge National Laboratory * Boyu Zhang, Microsoft Inc. * Xuan Guo, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Steering committee * Wei Tang, Google Inc. * Roger Barga, Microsoft Research * Ian Foster, University of Chicago & ANL * Geoffrey Fox, Indiana University Program committee (to be confirmed) * David Abramson, Monash University, Australia * John Bent, Los Alamos National Laboratory * Umit Catalyurek, Ohio State University * Linhai Qiu, Google Inc. * Abhishek Chandra, University of Minnesota * Rong N.

Scope ===== Cloud Computing covers a broad range of distributed computing principles from infrastructure (e.g distributed storage, reconfigurable networks) to new programming platforms (e.g MS Azure, Google Appe Engine), and internet-based applications. Particularly, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud systems - such as Amazon EC2, Rackspace or Google Compute Engine - allow the dynamic creation, destruction and management of virtual machines (VMs) as part of virtual computing infrastructures. IaaS Clouds provide a high-level of abstraction to the end user, one that allows the creation of on-demand services through a pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. The increasingly large range of choices and availability of IaaS toolkits has also allowed creation of cloud solutions and frameworks even suitable for private deployment and practical IaaS use on smaller scales. This special session on Cloud Computing is intended to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of Cloud Computing technologies and applications with compute and data intensive workloads. The special session also aims at presenting the challenges and opportunities offered by the development of open-source Cloud Computing solutions - such as OpenStack or OpenNebula - themselves, as well as case studies in applications of Cloud Computing. With the rapid evolution and proliferation of Internet of Things systems, we this session also aims to provide a forum for case studies on integrated use of clouds and IoT systems. The general venue will be a good occasion to share, learn, and discuss the latest results in this field of research. The special session program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Virtualization and container technologies and their effects on IaaS solutions - Incorporating beyond-CPU virtualization (e.g., I/O, GPU) aspects to cloud infrastructures - Cloud Computing resource management (e.g., Virtual Machine scheduling and management algorithms) - Operational challenges, federative and interoperability aspects of private, hybrid and public IaaS systems - Novel IaaS architectures, platforms and applications (e.g., incorporating IoT systems) - Virtual machine/container image and virtual appliance storage management (e.g., caching, repositories, marketplaces) - Virtual Machine migration techniques - Security and Privacy aspects of data management in clouds and IoT systems - Cloud Computing for scientific, compute and/or data intensive applications - Performance evaluation, modeling, simulation and prediction of IaaS clouds and their relation to IoT (including cost and price models) - Programming models, tools, orchestration techniques and workflows involving Cloud and IoT systems - Cloud Computing deployment models - Cloud, edge and fog storage and I/O - Cloud services for the Internet of Things - Scalability issues of IoT systems - Emerging techniques in Edge and Fog Computing - Autonomous control in Internet of Things, multi-clouds and software defined networks Submission guidelines ===================== Authors are required to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on infrastructure clouds and their applications.

=============================================================== 8th IEEE International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Benchmarking and Simulation of High Performance Computer Systems (PMBS17) held as part of SC17, Denver, CO, November 2017 http://www.pmbsworkshop.org =============================================================== The PMBS17 workshop is concerned with the comparison of high-performance computing systems through performance modeling, benchmarking or through the use of tools such as simulators. We are particularly interested in research which reports the ability to measure and make tradeoffs in software/hardware co-design to improve sustained application performance. We are also keen to capture the assessment of future systems, for example through work that ensures continued application scalability through peta- and exa-scale systems. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, from industry and academia, concerned with the qualitative and quantitative evaluation and modeling of high-performance computing systems. Authors are invited to submit novel research in all areas of performance modeling, benchmarking and simulation, and we welcome research that brings together current theory and practice. We recognize that the coverage of the term 'performance' has broadened to include power consumption and reliability, and that performance modeling is practiced through analytical methods and approaches based on software tools and simulators. === Topics of Interest === We encourage submissions in the following areas: - Performance modeling, analysis, and prediction of applications and high-performance computing systems - Novel techniques and tools for performance evaluation and prediction - Advanced simulation techniques and tools - Micro-benchmarking, application benchmarking and tracing - Performance-driven code optimization and scalability analysis - Verification and validation of performance models - Benchmarking and performance analysis of novel hardware - Performance concerns in software/hardware co-design - Tuning and auto-tuning of HPC applications and algorithms - Benchmark suites - Performance visualisation - Real-world case studies - Studies of novel hardware such as Intel Xeon Phi co-processor technology, NVIDIA Kepler GPUs and AMD Fusion APU Work which examines similar topics will also be considered. === Submission Guidelines === Authors are invited to submit short papers with unpublished, original work of not more than 10 pages of single column text describing initial research or early first-of-a-kind results using single spaced fonts on pages of 8.5 x 11 inches (this limit includes all figures, content etc but does not include references). All papers should be formatted to use the LNCS manuscript and workshop/conference guidelines available at: http://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui… These papers will be presented in a dedicated, interactive session at PMBS 17 enabling open discussion with industry and domain experts. All accepted papers (subject to post-review revisions) will be published in a post-proceedings issue of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Authors of selected papers will also be invited to submit revised manuscripts for inclusion in a special issue journal publication (pending) Papers should be submitted using EasyChair at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pmbs17 === Important Dates === Late Breaking/Short Paper Submissions - October 2nd 2017 (23:59 AoE) Late Breaking/Short Paper Notifications - October 16th 2017 PMBS17 Workshop - November 13th 2017 === More Information === For more information consult the PMBS Workshop homepage at: http://www.pmbsworkshop.org.
