        Overview

Applications and experiments in all areas of science 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. As scientific applications 
become more data intensive, the management of data resources and 
dataflow between the storage and compute resources is becoming the main 
bottleneck. Analyzing, visualizing, and disseminating these large data 
sets has become a major challenge and data intensive computing is now 
considered as the "fourth paradigm" in scientific discovery after 
theoretical, experimental, and computational science.

The second international workshop on Data-intensive Computing in the 
Clouds (DataCloud-SC11) will provide the scientific community a 
dedicated forum for discussing new research, development, and deployment 
efforts in running data-intensive computing workloads on Cloud Computing 
infrastructures. The DataCloud-SC11 workshop will focus on the use of 
cloud-based technologies to meet the new data intensive scientific 
challenges that are not well served by the current supercomputers, grids 
or compute-intensive clouds. We believe the workshop will be an 
excellent place to help the community define the current state, 
determine future goals, and present architectures and services for 
future clouds supporting data intensive computing.

For more information about the workshop, please see 
http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/DataCloud-SC11/. To see the 1st 
workshop's program agenda, and accepted papers and presentations, please 
see http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/tkosar/datacloud2011/. We are 
also running a Special Issue on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds 
<http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/JGC-DataCloud-2012/index.html> in the 
Springer Journal of Grid Computing 
<http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/journal/10723> 
with a paper submission deadline of August 16th 2011, which will appear 
in print in June 2012.

        Important Dates

  * Abstract submission: September 2, 2011
  * Paper submission: September 9, 2011
  * Acceptance notification: October 7, 2011
  * Final papers due: October 28, 2011


        Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of 
not more than 10 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 
point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript 
guidelines 
(http://www.acm.org/publications/instructions_for_proceedings_volumes); 
document templates can be found at 
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. We are also 
seeking position papers of no more than 5 pages in length. A 250 word 
abstract (PDF format) must be submitted online at 
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/DataCloud_SC11/ before the deadline 
of September 2nd, 2011 at 11:59PM PST; the final 5/10 page papers in PDF 
format will be due on September 9th, 2011 at 11:59PM PST. Papers will be 
peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop 
proceedings as part of the ACM digital library (pending approval). 
Notifications of the paper decisions will be sent out by October 7th, 
2011. Selected excellent work may be eligible for additional 
post-conference publication as journal articles. We are currently 
running a Special Issue on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds 
<http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/JGC-DataCloud-2012/index.html> in the 
Springer Journal of Grid Computing 
<http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/journal/10723>. 
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to 
register and present the paper. For more information, please see
