o Communication sub-subsystems for high-end computing 
o High-performance file and storage systems 
o Fault-tolerance techniques and implementations 
o Efficient and high-performance virtualization and other management 
mechanisms for high-end computing 

* Programming models and their high-performance implementations 
o MPI, Sockets, OpenMP, Global Arrays, X10, UPC, Chapel, Fortress and others 
o Hybrid Programming Models 

* Tools for Management, Maintenance, Coordination and Synchronization 
o Software for Enterprise Data-centers using Modern Architectures 
o Job scheduling libraries 
o Management libraries for large-scale system 
o Toolkits for process and task coordination on modern platforms 

* Performance evaluation, analysis and modeling of emerging computing platforms 


PROCEEDINGS
