                 CALL FOR PAPERS
                 ****************
          The International Workshop on
Data-Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS)
          http://data.cs.ttu.edu/discs/

          November 16th, 2012, Salt Lake City
              In conjunction with the
 2012 ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference (SC'12)

                 *********************
                 Scope of the Workshop
                 *********************
High-performance computing (HPC) is a major strategic tool
for science, engineering, and industry. Existing HPC systems,
however, are largely designed and developed for computation-
intensive applications with a computing-centric paradigm. With
the emerging and timely needs of supporting data-intensive
scientific discovery and innovations, there is a need of
rethinking the system architectures, programming models, runtime
systems, and tools available for data-intensive HPC. The DISCS
workshop provides a forum for researchers and developers in the
high-performance computing, data-intensive computing, and
parallel computing fields to take the Big Data challenges
together and present innovative ideas, experiences, and latest
developments that help address these challenges.

                   ******************
                   Topics of Interest
                   ******************
The focus areas of the DISCS-2012 workshop include, but are not
limited to:
    -> HPC system architectures for supporting data intensive
       applications
