* Scope: 
 
Today’s data centric environment both in industry and scientific domains depends on the underlying network infrastructure and its performance, to deliver highly distributed extreme-scale application workloads. As current technology enables faster storage devices and larger interconnect bandwidth, there is a substantial need for novel system design and middleware architecture to address increasing latency and scalability requirements. Furthermore, limitations in end-system architecture and system software design play an important role in many-core platforms. Traditional network and data management techniques are unlikely to scale to meet the needs of future data-intensive systems. We require new collaborations between data management and networking communities to develop intelligent networking middleware and efficient data management infrastructure. This workshop seeks contributions from academia, government, and industry to discuss future design principles of network-aware data management. We focus on emerging trends in resource coordination, data-aware scheduling, storage technologies, end-to-end performance, network-aware workflow management, high-performance networking, and network virtualization.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following list: 

Practical experiences and prototypes for network-aware data management
Workload characterization for latency/throughput sensitive applications
Operating system and virtualization support for networking
Network-aware data management tools and systems 
Requirements and issues for network quality of service (QoS) 
Optimization of data transfer protocols, development of non-TCP protocols
Applications of software defined networking for large data flows 
Data center networking and network management for Cloud environment
Performance evaluation and experimental results from network applications 
Design, implementation, and analysis of high-performance networking 
Network virtualization for large-scale data management
Experiences with emerging storage technologies for network applications
Network fault tolerant data distribution for large scientific datasets 
Heterogeneous and distributed resource coordination and workflow management

Submission Guidelines:

Please submit full papers (6-8 pages) in PDF format via the submission  site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ndm2015 <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ndm2015>). No email submission would be accepted. Accepted papers would be given a total of 20-30 minutes for presentation and question time. Submissions  should be no longer than eight (8) pages, including references and  figures.   Reviewing of the  full papers will be done by the program committee, assisted by  external referees.  At least one of the authors of an accepted paper should register and present the paper.  Accepted papers will be  included  in the proceedings and will be available through  ACM DL and IEEE Xplore.

Registration:  SC'15 workshop registration (including NDM'15) is  handled through the SC'15 system. Please visit  http://sc15.supercomputing.org/register <http://sc15.supercomputing.org/register> for more information
