USENIX TaPP '12 Call for Papers Submission Deadline Approaching
We're writing to remind that the deadline for the 4th USENIX Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP '12) is approaching. Please submit your work by Saturday, March 31, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. http://www.usenix.org/tapp12/cfpb The Program Committee seeks short papers and vision papers describing challenges for provenance research, brief descriptions of new applications, proposals for mini-tutorials, pie-in-the sky research ideas, and anything that will create a successful workshop. TaPP '12 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of provenance. With the deluge of digital data we are currently experiencing, it has become increasingly important to capture and understand the origins and derivation of data--its provenance. Provenance provides important documentation that is an essential part of the quality of data, and it is essential to the trust we put in, for example, the data we find on the Web and the data that is derived from scientific experiments. The workshop may cover any topic related to theoretical or practical aspects of provenance, including but not limited to: provenance in databases, workflows, programming languages, security, software engineering, or systems; provenance on the Web; real-world applications of or requirements for provenance. Please adhere to these guidelines on how and what to submit: * Submissions should be self-contained and no more than 4 pages. * If supporting material is needed, an extra 4 pages may be submitted, but the committee will not be obliged to read them. * All submissions should clearly indicate whether they are intended for inclusion in the proceedings. More information and submission guidelines are available at http://www.usenix.org/tapp12/cfpb We look forward to receiving your submissions! Sincerely, Umut A.

HotPar '12 Submission Deadline Approaching
I'm writing to remind you that the submission deadline for the 4th USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Parallelism (HotPar '12) is approaching. Paper registration (abstract submission) is due Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 11:59 p.m. PST. Full paper submission is due Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 11:59 p.m. PST. There will be no extension of the deadlines. http://www.usenix.org/hotpar12/cfpb HotPar '12 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of parallel computing. Multicore and multithreaded processors are pervasive, and core counts are increasing. This trend is driven by limits on energy consumption in computer systems and the poor energy performance of increasingly complex uniprocessors. Parallel architectures can potentially mitigate these problems, but larger core counts will be successful only if languages, systems, and applications can take advantage of parallel hardware. Navigating this change will require new parallel programming paradigms, new methods of application design, new structures for system software, and new models of interaction among applications, compilers, operating systems, and hardware. We request submissions of position papers that propose new directions for research or products in these areas, advocate non-traditional approaches to the problems engendered by parallelism, or potentially generate controversy and discussion. More information and submission guidelines are available at http://www.usenix.org/hotpar12/cfpb We look forward to receiving your submissions. Sincerely, Hans-J.

We're writing to remind you that the submission deadline for the 3rd Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP '11) is quickly approaching. Please submit all work by April 8, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. More information and submission guidelines are available at http://www.usenix.org/tapp11/cfpb TaPP '11 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of provenance. With the deluge of digital data we are currently experiencing, it has become increasingly important to capture and understand the origins and derivation of data--its provenance. Provenance provides important documentation that is an essential part of the quality of data, and it is essential to the trust we put in, for example, the data we find on the Web and the data that is derived from scientific experiments. The workshop may cover any topic related to theoretical or practical aspects of provenance, including but not limited to: provenance in databases, work flows, programming languages, security, software engineering, or systems; provenance on the Web; or real-world applications of or requirements for provenance. The Program Committee is determined to make TaPP '11 a real workshop at which new ideas are discussed and developed and where the participants can learn how other subjects make use of provenance. While the workshop will have online proceedings, the Committee does not want the workshop to become another "mini-conference" that has nothing but paper presentations. The Committee is eager to receive short papers and vision papers describing challenges for provenance research, brief descriptions of new applications, proposals for mini-tutorials, pie-in-the sky research ideas, and anything that will create a successful workshop. While brief and readable descriptions of research are encouraged, recycled conference submissions are strongly discouraged. TaPP '11 will take place June 20-22, 2011, in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, the week after the meeting of ACM SIGMOD in Athens. We look forward to receiving your submissions!

HotCloud '11 Submission Deadline Extended
The submission deadline for the 3rd USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in
Cloud Computing (HotCloud '11) has been extended to accommodate the
HotOS XIII schedule. Please submit your work by March 14, 2011, at 11:59
p.m. EDT.
http://papers.usenix.org/hotcrp/hotcloud11/
HotCloud brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and
industry working on cloud computing technologies. There are many
challenges in the design, implementation, and deployment of cloud
computing, such as automated service provisioning, service monitoring
and management, resource elasticity and interference/isolation between
users, cloud programming models, economic models, charging and
accounting, and service creation using virtual appliances.
We believe that cloud computing will benefit from close interaction
between researchers and industry practitioners, so that the research can
inform current deployments and deployment challenges can inform new
research. In support of this, HotCloud will provide a forum for both
academics and practitioners to share their experience, leverage each
other's perspectives, and identify new/emerging "hot" trends in this
important area.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
* Platform as a service
* Software as a service
* Infrastructure as a service
* Elasticity and availability in a cloud
* Multi-tenancy
* Storage cloud
* Charging models and economics
* Power-efficient ("green") computing for clouds
* Monitoring, troubleshooting, and failure recovery
* Cloud management and configuration
* Programming models
* Virtual appliance management and composition
* Security and privacy in clouds
* New applications for clouds
* Mobile clouds
* Cloud usage scenarios

WIOV '11 Call for Papers Now Available
The Program Committee for the 3rd Workshop on I/O Virtualization (WIOV '11) invites you to contribute your work. Virtualization technology has grown beyond server systems to include desktops, notebooks, and even mobile devices. The rich settings in which virtualized systems are used range from cloud computing infrastructures requiring access to high-end I/O devices like GPUs and networks to the many devices present in embedded and mobile systems. Consequent requirements imposed on I/O include the need for extreme-scale performance in high performance or low latency systems; fairness in device sharing in cloud and server systems, which includes online methods for understanding the I/O behavior of applications; trusted I/O both for cloud and for mobile systems; and low overhead and reliable device access in the mobile or embedded domains. While I/O systems have a long history of using abstraction to shield applications from the intricacies of devices and storage systems, this workshop's focus is on the interplay of I/O with virtualization and cloud technologies. Our goal is to provide a forum to discuss the impact and challenges of I/O virtualization along multiple dimensions, including: the application domains in which virtualized solutions are used and the subsystems involved; platform or hardware support for I/O virtualization; the virtual machine monitor; the guest operating system; the processor, GPU, memory, and I/O subsystems. Also of interest are higher-level virtualization solutions, such as those concerning API virtualization, new virtual I/O APIs like those used for cloud storage, and innovative approaches to device virtualization in cloud computing and in the mobile domain. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Hardware support for I/O virtualization * Novel I/O device architectures for virtualization * New software approaches to I/O virtualization * Hardware and software methods for I/O device emulation * Para-virtualized I/O device driver design for virtualization * Virtual machine monitors' support for I/O * Security and trust considerations for virtualized I/O, including hardware support * Energy-efficient I/O virtualization * Virtualized I/O in the cloud: API virtualization, challenges of large-scale I/O (performance, availability) * Virtualization mechanisms for datacenter networking * I/O monitoring and black box methods or system support for such functions Paper submissions are due Monday, March 21, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PST. Submissions guidelines and more information can be a found at http://www.usenix.org/wiov11/cfpa WIOV '11 will be part of USENIX Federated Conferences Week, which will take place June 12-17, 2011, in Portland, OR.

HotStorage '11 Call for Papers Now Available
On behalf of the 3rd Workshop on Hot Topics in Storage and File Systems (HotStorage '11) program committee, I would like to invite you to submit papers that present a fresh look at file and storage technologies. Storage systems continue to present important research challenges and opportunities today. The rapid increase in the volume and variety of digital data, the trend toward using commodity components rather than custom-built hardware, the ability to insert new filesystem functionality transparently in hypervisors, the emergence of persistent storage memory technologies, the challenges of "big data," the rise of distributed key-value stores (such as nosql), and the proliferation of storage devices in consumer electronics all offer exciting opportunities and new challenges. We expect the workshop submissions to advocate fresh, unorthodox approaches advancing the state of the art in file and storage systems design. Ideas presented in the workshop should provide a new look at storage technologies and eventually lead to work that will likely appear in top-tier systems conferences. The HotStorage workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in presenting their thoughts and engaging in discussions with their colleagues. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Cloud storage * Storage for virtualized datacenters * Clustered storage architectures * Storage for mobile and embedded systems * Key-value and "nosql" storage * Solid-state storage * Archival storage * Storage at home * Search and data retrieval * Storage security * Caching, replication, and data consistency * Interactions of storage systems and databases * The challenges of "big data" * Storage system performance modeling and prediction Submissions are due Wednesday, March 9, 2011, at 9:00 p.m. PST.

USENIX HotPar'11 Submission Deadline Approaching
On behalf of the Program Committee for the 3rd USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Parallelism (HotPar '11), we'd like to invite you to submit position papers. HotPar '11 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of parallel computing. Multicore and multithreaded processors are the pervasive computing platform of the future. This trend is driven by limits on energy consumption in computer systems and the poor energy performance of conventional microprocessors. Parallel architectures can potentially mitigate these problems, but this new computer architecture will only be successful if languages, systems, and applications can take advantage of parallel hardware. Navigating this change will require new concurrency-friendly programming paradigms, new methods of application design, new structures for system software, and new models of interaction between applications, compilers, operating systems, and hardware. We request submissions of position papers that propose new directions for research of products in these areas, advocate non-traditional approaches to the problems engendered by parallelism, or potentially generate controversy and discussion.

http://www.usenix.org/hotcloud10/cfpb
Cloud computing has attracted a great deal of attention both from the
research community and from industry. The cloud computing paradigm has
evolved over the years from a basic IT infrastructure (data centers) to
platform as a service (PaaS), and then from software as a service (SaaS)
to complete service enablement on a hosted infrastructure (IaaS). At the
same time, virtualization has emerged as a key enabler for the cloud
computing paradigm. Several challenges arise in the design,
implementation, and deployment of virtualized clouds.
HotCloud will provide a forum for academics as well as practitioners in
the field to share their experience, leverage each other's perspectives,
and identifynew/emerging "hot" trends in this area.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
* Platform as a service
* Software as a service
* Infrastructure as a service
* Elasticity and availability in a cloud
* Multi-tenancy
* Storage cloud
* Charging models and economics
* Power-efficient ("green") computing for clouds
* Virtual appliance management and composition
* Monitoring, troubleshooting, and failure recovery
* Cloud management and configuration
* Programming models
* Security and privacy in clouds
* New applications for clouds
* Mobile clouds
* Cloud usage scenarios

SSV '10 Call for Papers Now Available
On behalf of the 5th International Workshop on Systems Software Verification (SSV '10) program committee, we'd like to invite you to contribute papers that focus on finding real, applicable solutions to systems software verification problems. Paper registration and abstracts are due Friday, May 28, 2010, 11:59 p.m. Samoan time (UTC-11). Industrial-strength software analysis and verification has advanced in recent years through the introduction of model checking, automated and interactive theorem proving, and static analysis techniques, as well as correctness by design, correctness by contract, and model-driven development. However, many techniques are working under restrictive assumptions that are invalidated by complex embedded systems software such as operating system kernels, low-level device drivers, or microcontroller code. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and developers from both academia and industry who are facing real software and real problems with the goal of finding real, applicable solutions. By "real" we mean problems such as time-to-market or reliability that the industry is facing. A real solution is one that is applicable to the problem in industry and not one that only applies to an abstract, academic, toy version of it. In this workshop we will discuss software analysis and development techniques and tools; this forum will serve as a platform to discuss open problems and future challenges in dealing with existing and upcoming systems-level code. Topics include but are not limited to: * Model checking * Automated and interactive theorem proving * Static analysis * Automated testing * Model-driven development * Embedded systems development * Programming languages * Verifying compilers * Software certification * Software tools * Experience reports Paper registration and abstracts are due Friday, May 28, 2010, 11:59 p.m. Samoan time (UTC-11). For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at: http://www.usenix.org/ssv10/cfpa/ SSV '10 will be held immediately following the 9th USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI '10), which will take place October 4-6, 2010. We look forward to receiving your submissions!

IPTPS '10 CFP
On behalf of the 9th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS '10) program committee, we are inviting you to submit engaging position papers on the current and future trends in peer-to-peer systems. Co-located with NSDI '10 in San Jose, CA, this one-day workshop provides a venue in which to present and discuss peer-to-peer technologies, applications, and systems and to identify key research issues and challenges that lie ahead. This year, the workshop's charter will be expanded to include topics relating to self-organizing and self-managing distributed systems. This is in response to recent trends where self-organizing techniques proposed in early peer-to-peer systems have found their way into more managed settings such as datacenters, enterprises, and ISPs to help deal with growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity. In the context of this year's workshop, peer-to-peer systems are defined to be large-scale distributed systems that are mostly decentralized, are self-organizing, and might or might not include resources from multiple administrative domains. Papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion, and technical merit. The program will include presentations of position papers along with plenty of time for lively discussion among the participants, as well as a demo session for working systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network and system support for peer-to-peer systems * Self-organizing and self-managing distributed systems * Adaptive algorithms and architectures for large-scale distributed systems * New applications and protocols for peer-to-peer systems * Availability, robustness, performance, and scaling * Security, privacy, anonymity, anti-censorship, and incentives * Lessons drawn from experience with deployed peer-to-peer systems * Measurement, modeling, and workload characterization Complete paper submissions are due Friday, December 18, 2009, 11:59 p.m. EST.
