[Demetris Trihinas]

THE 19TH IEEE/ACM INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CLUSTER, CLOUD AND GRID 
COMPUTING (IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2019)


**** FIRST CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ****
(Papers, Workshop Proposals, Tutorial Proposals, Doctoral Symposium, SCALE)


CALL FOR PAPERS

Advances in architectures, networks, systems and middleware technologies 
are leading to new concepts and platforms for computing, ranging from 
Clusters and Grids to Clouds and Datacenters, and result in an 
outstanding impact to numerous aspects of the modern world. The 19th 
Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium in Cluster, Cloud, and Grid 
Computing (CCGrid 2019) is a forum bringing together international 
researchers, developers, and practitioners to present leading research 
activities and results on a broad range of topics related to these 
concepts, platforms, and their applications. The conference features 
keynotes, technical presentations, workshops, and posters, as well as 
the Doctoral Symposium and the SCALE challenge featuring live 
demonstrations. CCGrid has travelled over the world. Its next stop is in 
beautiful Larnaca, Cyprus, in May 2019.

Papers due: December 7, 2018
Author notifications: January 18, 2019

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

Workshops should provide forums for discussion among researchers and 
practitioners on focused topics or emerging research areas relevant to 
the community. Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, 
including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in 
progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some combination of the above. 
Workshops could be scheduled for half a day or a full day, depending on 
interest, space constraints, and organizer preference. Organizers should 
design workshops for approximately 20-40 participants, to balance impact 
and effective discussion.

Deadline for Workshop Proposals: September 30, 2018
Notifications of Acceptance: October 15, 2018

CALL FOR TUTORIALS

CCGrid 2019 will feature state-of-the-art tutorials from leading experts 
in their fields. Topics will cover different levels, ranging from 
introductory to highly advanced skills. All tutorials will address 
highly important and relevant subject areas of cluster computing and 
grid technology. To provide the best possible tutorial offerings, CCGrid 
2019 solicits proposals for half day (3,5 hours) or full day tutorials.

Deadline for Tutorial Proposals: January 15, 2019
Notification of Acceptance: February 15, 2019

CALL FOR DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM

The Doctoral Symposium of the 19th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on 
Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid2019) provides a forum for 
students in all areas of Cluster, Grid and Cloud research to obtain 
visibility, feedback and advice on their Ph.D. dissertation topics and 
on their research careers. The Symposium promotes fruitful interactions 
and networking between student researchers at a similar stage in their 
careers. The program committee consists of experts in the field and will 
provide their valuable feedback to the ongoing research work of 
participating students. Selected students will present their work in 
front of an audience of both their peer and researchers and will also be 
invited to present their work as a poster in the poster exhibition of 
CCGrid. The proceedings of the doctoral symposium will be published as 
part of CCGrid 2019 Proceedings through the IEEE Computer Society 
Conference Publishing Services and will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for 
EI indexing.

Papers due  January 15, 2019
Author Notification: February 15, 2019

CALL FOR THE 12TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL SCALABLE COMPUTING CHALLENGE (SCALE 
2019)

The 12th IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2019) is 
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable 
Computing (TCSC). The objective of the SCALE Challenge is to highlight 
and showcase real-world problem solving using computing that scales. 
Effective solutions to many scientific and engineering problems require 
applications that can scale. There are different dimensions to 
application scalability. For example, applications can scale-up to a 
large number of cores on a compute unit, scale-out to utilize multiple 
distinct compute units, or exhibit elastic scaling to acquire and 
release resources on-demand, based on current need. The result may be an 
application that can solve a larger problem, increase throughput, and/or 
reduce execution time. In order to scale, applications need to be 
supported by tools, middleware, software cyber-infrastructure, 
programming frameworks, computing infrastructure, etc. The SCALE 
Challenge is concerned with advances in application development and 
their supporting infrastructure to enable scaling. All papers presented 
at the SCALE challenge and selected by the Scale Challenge Committee of 
IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2019 will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for publication 
and EI indexing.

Proposal submission: 31 Jan 2019
