Call for Papers: The 13th IEEE International Conference on eScience 2017 in Auckland, New Zealand
Call for Papers The 13th IEEE International Conference on eScience 2017 24–27 October 2017 Auckland, New Zealand www.escience2017.org.nz <http://www.escience2017.org.nz/> The thirteenth IEEE eScience conference will be held in Auckland, New Zealand from 24 October 2017. The objective of the eScience Conference is to promote and encourage all aspects of eScience and its associated technologies, applications, and tools. The way in which research is carried out is undergoing a series of radical changes as a result of the digital revolution. Researchers in all disciplines are increasingly adopting digital tools, techniques and practices in communities and projects that span multiple disciplines, laboratories, organizations, and national boundaries. eScience 2017 brings together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The conference serves as the premier forum to present the results of the latest research and product/tool developments and to highlight related activities from around the world. We are particularly interested in advances in the application of technology in a particular discipline. Accordingly, significant advances in practice are considered to be as important as the development of new technologies themselves. Further, we welcome contributions in educational activities under any of these disciplines. As a result, the conference will be structured around the following eScience themes: • Arts, Humanities and Social Science • Bioinformatics and Health • Physical Sciences and Engineering • Climate, Environmental and Earth Sciences • Data Science, Digital Repositories, Data Management and Big Data • Research Software Engineering and Computational Science • Cyberinfrastructure to support eScience, including novel hardware, software and services • eScience in the cloud • Education, training and eScience practice In addition to this call for papers, there are a number of ways to participate in eScience 2017: please see the eScience 2017 website (http://escience2017.org.nz/ <http://escience2017.org.nz/>) for further information.

CFP: 8th IEEE International Conference on eScience -- Chicago IL USA, October 8th-12 2012
CALL FOR PAPERS 8th IEEE International Conference on eScience http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/escience2012/ October 8-12, 2012 Chicago, IL, USA Researchers in all disciplines are increasingly adopting digital tools, techniques and practices, often in communities and projects that span disciplines, laboratories, organizations, and national boundaries. The eScience 2012 conference is designed to bring together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and enabling IT technologies. The conference serves as a forum to present the results of the latest applications research and product/tool developments and to highlight related activities from around the world. Also, we are now entering the second decade of eScience and the 2012 conference gives an opportunity to take stock of what has been achieved so far and look forward to the challenges and opportunities the next decade will bring. A special emphasis of the 2012 conference is on advances in the application of technology in a particular discipline. Accordingly, significant advances in applications science and technology will be considered as important as the development of new technologies themselves. Further, we welcome contributions in educational activities under any of these disciplines. As a result, the conference will be structured around two e-Science tracks: • eScience Algorithms and Applications • eScience application areas, including: • Physical sciences • Biomedical sciences • Social sciences and humanities • Data-oriented approaches and applications • Compute-oriented approaches and applications • Extreme scale approaches and applications • Cyberinfrastructure to support eScience • Novel hardware • Novel uses of production infrastructure • Software and services • Tools The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS)journal. SUBMISSION PROCESS 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 IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines.

CFP: IEEE Int. Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE) at CCGrid 2012
CALL FOR PAPERS The Fifth IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE) Co-located with the 11th CCGrid Conference in Ottawa, Canada Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) May 13-16, 2012 http://www.cloudbus.org/ccgrid2012/cfp-scale.html - Objective and Focus: The objective of the Fifth IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2012), sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC), is to highlight and showcase real-world problem solving using computing that scales. Effective solutions to many scientific problems require applications that can scale. There are different dimensions to application scaling: for example, applications can scale-up to large number of cores or compute units, scale-out to utilize multiple distinct compute units, or scale-down to release resources that are no longer needed. In order to scale, applications need the support of tools, middleware, infrastructure, programming systems, etc. SCALE is concerned with advances in application development and supporting infrastructure that enable scaling. Call for Proposals: The Fifth IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2012) contest will focus on end-to-end problem solving using concepts, technologies and architectures (including Clusters, Grids and Clouds) that facilitate scaling. Participants in the challenge will be expected to identify significant current real-world problems where scalable computing techniques can be effectively used, and design, implement, evaluate and demonstrate solutions. SCALE2012 will be held in conjunction with the 11th CCGrid Conference in Ottawa, Canada on 13-16 May, 2012. We invite teams to submit white papers outlining the problem addressed and the technologies employed to enable applications to scale. White papers should be up to 4 pages long, 12-pt. font and single column, and in addition to listing team members and contact information, should clearly outline: 1. The problem being solved and the technology employed 2. The application scenario and its requirements 3. Performance data and a qualitative description of how the application scales -- scale-up, scale-out or any other type of scaling 4. The solution -- architecture, underlying concepts and technologies used -- highlighting the innovative aspects of the solution 5. Impact of the solution, including extensibility and uniqueness of results, and the extent to which the presented solution pushes the envelope in scalable computing 6. Analysis of solution and technology employed compared to related approaches In addition to the above, finalists will be judged on the quality of their presentation, which shall include a 5-minute demonstration, as well as their responses to questions by a technical committee. Papers will be shortlisted using the above 6 points as merit criteria, and up to 6 papers will be invited to compete in a final round at CCGrid 2012. Selected teams will receive an award of up to $1000 to help with travel to the conference. At least one member from each selected team will be expected to present and demonstrate their project at CCGrid 2012. Participation from students and young researchers, especially in leadership roles, is strongly encouraged.

Call for Workshops: The 9th Int. Conf. on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2012)
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS The 9th International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2012) September 17-21, 2012. San Jose, CA, USA http://icac2012.cs.fiu.edu/ - IMPORTANT DATES Workshop Proposal Submission: February 10, 2012 - OVERVIEW ICAC is the leading conference on autonomic computing techniques, foundations, and applications. Autonomic computing refers to methods and means for automated management of performance, fault, security, and configuration with little involvement of users or administrators. Systems introducing new autonomic features are becoming increasingly prevalent, motivating research that spans a variety of areas, from computer systems, networking, software engineering, and data management to machine learning, control theory, and bio-inspired computing. ICAC brings together researchers and practitioners across these disciplines to address multiple facets of adaptation and self-management in computing systems and applications from different perspectives. Autonomic computing solutions are sought for clouds, grids, data centers, enterprise software, internet services, data services, smart phones, embedded systems, and sensor networks. In these environments, resources and applications must be managed to maximize performance and minimize cost, while maintaining predictable and reliable behavior in the face of varying workloads, failures, and malicious threats. ICAC'12 welcomes proposals for co-located workshops on topics of interest to the autonomic computing community. Workshop proposals should be submitted to the Workshop Chair, Fred Douglis (f.doug...@computer.org) by February 10, 2012. Workshops are expected to publish proceedings, and should cover areas that complement the main program. -- ORGANIZERS GENERAL CHAIR: Dejan Milojicic, HP Labs WORKSHOPS CHAIR: Fred Douglis, EMC -- = Ioan Raicu, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Guest Research Faculty, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) = Data-Intensive Distributed Systems Laboratory, CS/IIT Distributed Systems Laboratory, MCS/ANL = Cel:1-847-722-0876 Office: 1-312-567-5704 Email: ira...@cs.iit.edu Web:http://www.cs.iit.edu/~iraicu/ Web:http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/ = = ___ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization

Hi all, Due to numerous requests, we have extended the deadline for the Special Issue on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds in the Springer Journal of Grid Computing to August 16th, 2011. Please see below for the CFP announcement. Regards, Ioan Raicu and Tevfik Kosar Guest Editors of the Special Issue on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds Springer Journal of Grid Computing http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/JGC-DataCloud-2012/index.html - *** Call for Papers *** Springer Journal of Grid Computing Special Issue on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/JGC-DataCloud-2012/ - 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 dataflow 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 empirical, theoretical, and computational scientific approaches. The Special Issue on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds will provide the scientific community a dedicated forum, within the prestigious Springer Journal of Grid Computing, for presenting new research, development, and deployment efforts in running data-intensive computing workloads on Cloud Computing infrastructures. This special issue 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 this venue 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. TOPICS - - Data-intensive cloud computing applications, characteristics, 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 Important Dates --- * Papers Due: August 16, 2011 * First Round Decisions: October 15, 2011 * Major Revisions if needed: November 15, 2011 * Second Round Decisions: December 15, 2011 * Minor Revisions if needed: January 15, 2012 * Final Decision: February 1, 2012 * Publication Date: June 2012 PAPER SUBMISSION - Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished technical papers.
