IEEE TCSC International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2024)

24th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud, and Internet Computing
May 6-9, 2024, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA

IEEE TCSC International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2024) 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.

Participants in the challenge will be expected to identify significant
current real-world problems where scalable computing techniques can be
effectively used. They are expected to design, implement, evaluate,
and demonstrate solutions. Problems that have a social impact are of
particular interest.

Authors are invited to submit a 6-page technical paper, excluding
references, describing the nature of the problem being solved and the
solution, offering preliminary evidence of the scalability achieved.

The technical committee will shortlist finalists from these proposals
and invite them to present their work and offer a live demonstration
at the CCGrid 2024 conference.

The conference will be held in person physically. One author of each
accepted paper must register for the conference and present their work
and demonstration at a special SCALE Challenge session. A panel of
experts will select a first prize winner at the conference, who will
be presented the TCSC SCALE Challenge award for 2024 with a cash prize
of 1000 dollars sponsored by IEEE TCSC.

The accepted papers will be published as a companion proceeding
(CCGRIDW) through the IEEE CS Conference Publication Services and
available online at IEEE Xplore digital library.
