CALL FOR PAPERS

*************************************************************

11th Workshop on Scalable Computing (WSC'20)
https://www.fedcsis.org/2020/wsc

Organized within the framework of the Federated Conference on Computer 
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2020), Track 2

Sofia, Bulgaria, 6-9 September, 2020

************************* COVID-19 Information *************************

Taking into account lack of certainty that it will be possible to 
organize the conference on-site (in Sofia) in September, we have decided 
that there is no other way but to organize the conference 100% 
telepresence/video-based. This decision makes us very sad, but we 
believe that this is the best one we can make. This decision has 
consequences. First, the new conference fee has been reduced to 150 euro 
(for each contributed and accepted paper). Second, since we do not have 
to deal with local arrangements, we can use the extra time and we have 
established the new submission deadline. It is now July 3, 2020 for the 
regular papers. We are looking forward to e-meet you.

************************************************************************


The world of large-scale computing continuously evolves. The most recent 
addition to the mix comes from numerous data streams that materialize 
from exploding number of cheap sensors installed
“everywhere”, on the one hand, and ability to capture andstudy events 
with systematically increasing granularity, on the other. To address the 
needs for scaling computational and storage infrastructures, concepts 
like: edge, fog and dew computing emerged.

Novel issues in involved in “pushing computing away from the center” did 
not replace open questions that existed in the context of grid and cloud 
computing. Rather, they added new dimensions of complexity and resulted 
in the need of addressing scalability across more and more complex 
ecosystems consisting of individual sensors and micro-computers (e.g. 
Raspberry PI based systems) as well as supercomputers available within 
the Cloud (e.g. Cray computers facilitated within the MS Azure Cloud).

Addressing research questions that arise in individual “parts” as well 
as across the ecosystem viewed from a holistic perspective, with 
scalability as the main focus is the goal of the Workshop on Scalable 
Computing. In this context, the following topics are of special interest 
(however, this list is not exhaustive).


Covered TOPICS include (but are not limited to):

- General issues in scalable computing
- Algorithms and programming models for large-scale applications, 
simulations and systems
- Large-scale symbolic, numeric, data-intensive, graph-oriented, 
distributed computations
- Fault-tolerant and consensus techniques for large-scale computing
- Resilient large-scale computing
- Data models for large-scale applications, simulations and systems
- Large-scale distributed databases
- Load-balancing / intelligent resource management in large-scale 
applications, simulations and systems
- Performance analysis, evaluation, optimization and prediction
- Scientific workflow scheduling
- Data visualization
- On-demand computing
- Virtualization supporting computations
- Volunteer computing
- Scaling applications from small-scale to exa-scale (and back)
- Big data real-time computing / analytics
- Economic, business and ROI models for large-scale applications
- Emerging technologies for scalable computing
- Cloud / Fog / Dew computing architectures, models, algorithms and 
applications
- High performance computing in Cloud / Fog / Dew
- Green computing in Cloud / Fog / Dew
- Performance, capacity management and monitoring of Cloud / Fog / Dew 
configuration
- Cloud / Fog / Dew application scalability and availability
- Big Data cloud services
- Architectures for large-scale computations (GPUs, accelerators, 
quantum systems, federated systems, etc.)
- Self* and autonomous computational / storage systems
