The Doctoral Symposium is an excellent opportunity for PhD students to present and discuss their work in a Workshop format. Each presentation will be evaluated by a panel composed by at least three Information Systems and Technologies experts. CONTRIBUTIONS SUBMISSION The Doctoral Symposium is opened to PhD students whose research area includes the themes proposed for this Conference. Submissions must include an extended abstract (maximum 4 pages), following the Conference style guide. All selected contributions will be handed out along with the Conference Proceedings, in CD with an ISBN. These contributions will be send for indexation by EBSCO, and EI-Compendex. Submissions must include the field, the PhD institution and the number of months devoted to the development of the work. Additionally, they should include in a clear and succinct manner: ? The problem approached and its significance or relevance ? The research objectives and related investigation topics ? A brief display of what is already known ? A proposed solution methodology for the problem ? Expected results IMPORTANT DATES ? Proposal submission deadline: 15th of February 2013 ? Acceptance notification: 29th of March 2013 ? Final submission deadline: 12th of April 2013 ?

The ScienceCloud workshop will focus on the use of cloud-based technologies to meet new compute-intensive and data- intensive scientific challenges that are not well served by the current supercomputers, grids and HPC clusters. This workshop encourages interaction and cross-pollination between those developing applications, algorithms, software, hardware and networking, emphasizing scientific computing for such cloud platforms. We believe the workshop will be an excellent place to help the community define the current state, determine future goals, and define architectures and services for future science clouds. TOPICS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite the submission of original work that is related to the topics below. The papers can be either short (4 pages) position papers, or long (8 pages) research papers. Topics of interest include (in the context of Cloud Computing): - Scientific application cases studies on Cloud infrastructure - Performance evaluation of Cloud environments and technologies - Fault tolerance and reliability in cloud systems - Data-intensive workloads and tools on Clouds - Use of programming models such as Map-Reduce and its implementations - Storage cloud architectures - I/O and Data management in the Cloud - Workflow and resource management in the Cloud - Use of cloud technologies (e.g., NoSQL databases) for scientific applications - Data streaming and dynamic applications on Clouds - Dynamic resource provisioning - Many-Task Computing in the Cloud - Application of cloud concepts in HPC environments or vice versa - High performance parallel file systems in virtual environments - Virtualized high performance I/O network interconnects - Virtualization - Distributed Operating Systems - Many-core computing and accelerators (e.g. GPUs, MIC) in the Cloud - Cloud security IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Paper submission: February 25th, 2013 (11:59PM PST) - Acceptance notification: March 18th, 2013 - Final papers due: April 15th, 2013 PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not more than 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages (including all text, figures, and references), as per ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines (document templates can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). A 250 word abstract and the final paper in PDF format must be submitted online at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ScienceCloud2013/ before the deadline of February 25th, 2013 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. Notifications of the paper decisions will be sent out by March 18th, 2013. Selected excellent work will be invited to submit extended versions of the workshop paper to a special issue journal. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
