[hpc-announce] Call for Participation - (NDM 2013 @ SC13 on Sunday Nov 17, 2013): Third International Workshop on Network Aware Data Management

[Mehmet Balman]

----------------------------------------------------
The 3rd International Workshop on Network-aware Data Management, in
conjunction with SC'13, in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC.
Sunday - November 17, 2013 – Denver, CO, USA
----------------------------------------------------

The 3rd International Workshop on Network-aware Data Management (NDM
2013) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE/ACM International
Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and
Analysis (SC 2013), in Denver, Colorado, on Sunday November 17, 2013.

Scope:

In addition to increasing data volumes, future scientific
collaborations require cooperative work at the extreme scale. As the
number of multidisciplinary teams and experimental facilities
increase, data sharing and resource coordination among distributed
centers are becoming significant challenges every passing year.  In
the age of extraordinary advances in communication technologies, there
is a need for efficient use of the network infrastructure to address
increasing data requirements of today’s applications.  Traditional
network and data management techniques are unlikely to scale to meet
the needs of future collaborative data-intensive systems. We require
novel data access mechanisms and intelligent network middleware to
enable future design principles of network-aware data management. This
workshop will seek contributions from academia, government, and
industry to discuss emerging trends and new technological developments
in dynamic resource provisioning, intelligent data-flow and resource
coordination, end-to-end processing of data, network-aware application
design issues, and cutting-edge network performance problems.
