[hpc-announce] Call for participation and lightning talks: DataCloud-2015 at SC15, The 6th International Workshop on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds

[Wei Tang]

*DataCloud-2015: The 6th International Workshop on Data Intensive Computing
in the Clouds*
*in conjunction with SC'15 in Austin, TX on Nov. 15th.*

http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/DataCloud2015/index.html

Applications and experiments in all areas of science and engineering 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. Analyzing,
visualizing, and disseminating these large data sets has become a major
challenge.

This year's DataCloud workshop will be a special one, which will feature
all invited talks from both academia and industry with a focused topic: *data
analysis infrastructure and use cases at large scale*. The topics will
cover following aspects:


   - Large-scale data analytics workload characteristics and challenges
   - New programming models for data-intensive cloud computing
   - Scalability issues in data analysis in the clouds
   - Large-scale data analysis pipelines.
   - Big data management system
   - Performance evaluation of data clouds and data centers
   - Data-aware resource management and scheduling in the clouds or data
   centers.
   - Case study of large-scale data analytics in specific scientific or
   engineering applications


*Currently confirmed talks include:*

Keynote: *Why would you NOT use public clouds for your big compute
workloads?*

Rob Futrick (Cycle Computing)

*Scientific Computing Meets Big Data Technology: An Astronomy Use Case*

Zhao Zhang (AMPLab, UC Berkeley)

*Data Pipelines at Google*

Dan Dennison (Google Inc.)

*Pegasus WMS - Optimizing Data Flows in Scientific Workflow*

Gideon Juve (ISI, University of Southern California)

*Analyzing CMS Data on 10K Cores with Lobster and Work Queue*

Douglas Thain (University of Notre Dame)

*Driving Performance Improvements at Orbitz with Real Time Data Analytics*

Wai Gen Yee (Orbitz Worldwide, Inc)
