[Swift-devel] [Fwd: [Dadc09] Deadlines for DADC'09 extended]

Wed Feb 18 11:43:04 CST 2009

Hi all,
The DADC workshop extended their deadline. I attended last year, and it 
was a great venue focusing on data resource management in distributed 
systems. If you have any work that is close to being ready to publish 
and it is relevant to the workshop, its a good venue to try!

Cheers,
Ioan

*** Call for Papers ***
WORKSHOP ON DATA-AWARE DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING (DADC'09)
In conjunction with HPDC 2009, June 9-13, Munich, Germany
http://www.cct.lsu.edu/~kosar/dadc09 
<http://www.cct.lsu.edu/%7Ekosar/dadc09>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Second International Workshop on Data-Aware Distributed Computing 
(DADC'09)
will be held in conjunction with the 18th International Symposium on 
High Performance
Distributed Computing (HPDC-18), in Munich, Germany.

The data requirements of scientific as well as commercial applications from
a diverse range of fields have been increasing exponentially over the recent
years. This increase in the demand for large-scale data processing has 
necessitated
collaboration and sharing among the world's leading education, research, 
and industrial
institutions and use of distributed resources owned by collaborating 
parties. In a
widely distributed environment, data is no more locally accessible and 
has thus to
be remotely retrieved and stored. While traditional distributed systems 
work well
for computation that requires limited data handling, they fail in 
unexpected ways
when the computation accesses, creates, and moves large amounts of data 
especially
over wide-area networks. Scientists, researchers, and application 
developers are
often forced to spend a great deal of time and energy on solving basic 
data-handling
issues, such as the physical location of data, how to access it, and/or 
how to move
it to visualization and/or compute resources for further analysis.

This workshop will focus on the challenges of distributed systems 
imposed by the
data intensive applications, and on the different state-of-the-art 
solutions proposed
to overcome these challenges. A new paradigm called "data-aware 
distributed computing"
and its application to different research realms such as scheduling, 
resource allocation,
workflow management, and visualization will be discussed. With the 
knowledge of the
correct data management techniques, the domain scientists will be able 
to focus on
their primary goal, assured that their data management needs are handled 
reliably
and efficiently. We believe this workshop will make a unique 
contribution to collaborative
and distributed computing community by focusing on the planning, 
management, and
scheduling of data handling tasks and data storage resources.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Data-intensive applications and their challenges
- Data-aware toolkits, middleware, storage and file systems
- Data-oriented batch schedulers and workflow managers
- Data staging, replication, and remote access to data
- Data placement, management, and scheduling techniques
- Co-scheduling of computation, data storage, and network resources
- Network support for data-intensive computing
- High speed wide area data transfers and bulk data movement
- Remote and distributed visualization of large scale data
- Data-aware workflow and data-flow management
- Cross-domain metadata and ontologies
- Distributed and hierarchical storage management
- Storage resource managers and brokers
- Data archives, digital libraries, and preservations
- Service oriented architectures for data-intensive computing
- Protection of sensitive data in a collaborative environment
- Peer-to-peer data movement and data streaming
- Future research challenges in data-intensive computing

IMPORTANT DATES:
Abstract submission: February 25, 2009 (extended)
Paper submission: March 1, 2009 (extended)
Acceptance notification: March 15, 2009
Final papers due: April 1, 2009

PAPER SUBMISSIONS:
DADC'09 invites authors to submit original and unpublished technical papers
of at most 10 pages. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on 
correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, 
and relevance
to the workshop topics of interest. Submitted papers may not have 
appeared in or be
under consideration for another workshop, conference or a journal, nor 
may they be
under review or submitted to another forum during the DADC'09 review 
process. Papers
should be prepared in ACM SIG Proceedings format and submitted 
electronically
(in PDF format) via the HPDC 2009 conference web site.
