Cloud Computing and Its Applications 2008 (CCA-08) October 22-23, 2008 Gleacher Center Chicago, Illinois
http://www.cca08.org Dramatic growth in data and equally rapid decline in the cost of highly integrated clusters has spurred the emergence of the data center as the platform of choice for a growing class of data-intensive applications. To encourage conversations between those developing applications, algorithms, software, and hardware for such "cloud" platforms, we are convening the first workshop on Cloud Computing and its Applications (CCA'08). This workshop will include a mixture of invited and contributed talks on cloud computing, data intensive scalable computing, and related topics. Topics of interest include: - compute and storage cloud architectures and implementations - map-reduce and its generalizations - programming models and tools - novel data-intensive computing applications - data intensive scalable computing - distributed data intensive computing - content distribution systems for large data - data management within and across data centers If you would like to give a contributed talk, please submit a five page extended abstract by August 1, 2008. These submissions will also be used to select papers for a poster session. Extended abstracts should be submitted to: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/CCA2008 Organizing Committee ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Charlie Catlett, Argonne National Laboratory Ian Foster, Argonne National Laboratory and University of Chicago Garth Gibson, Carnegie Mellon University Robert Grossman, University of Illinois at Chicago and Open Data Group Joe Hellerstein, University of California at Berkeley Tony Hey, Microsoft Raghu Ramakrishnan, Yahoo Alex Szalay, Johns Hopkins University Douglas Thain, University of Notre Dame (If you do not want to receive future announcements, reply with "unsubscribe".)
