=============================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cluster and Grid Computing (VHPC'08) as part of Euro-Par 2008, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Island, Spain =============================================================== Date: August 26-29, 2008 Euro-Par 2008: http://europar2008.caos.uab.es/ Workshop URL: http://xhpc.wu-wien.ac.at/ SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Abstracts: February 4, 2008 Full Paper: April 14, 2008 Scope: Virtual machine monitors are reaching wide-spread adoption in a variety of operating systems as well as scientific educational and operational usage areas. With their low overhead, hypervisors allows for concurrently running large numbers of virtual machines, providing each encapsulation, isolation and in the case of Xen, network-wide CPU migratability. VMMs offer a network-wide abstraction layer of individual machine resources to OS environments, thereby opening whole new cluster-and grid high-performance computing (HPC) architectures and HPC services options. With VMMs finding applications in HPC environments, these workshops aim to bring together researchers and practitioners active on virtualization in distributed and high-performance cluster and grid computing environments. The workshops will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections. Presentations may be accompanied with interactive demonstrations. The workshop will end with a 30 min panel discussion by presenters. TOPICS Topics include, but are not limited to, the following subject matters: - Virtualization in cluster and grid environments - Workload characterizations for VM-based clusters - VM cluster and grid architectures - Linux Hypervisors - Cluster reliability, fault-tolerance, and security - Compute job entry and scheduling - Compute workload load leveling - Cluster and grid filesystems for VMs - VMMs, VMs and QoS guarantees - Research and education use cases - VM cluster distribution algorithms - MPI, PVM on virtual machines - System sizing - Hardware support for virtualization - High-speed interconnects in hypervisors - Hypervisor extensions and utilities for cluster and grid computing - Network architectures for VM-based clusters - VMMs/Hypervisors on large SMP machines - Performance models - Performance management and tuning hosts and guest VMs - Power considerations - VMM performance tuning on various load types - Xen/other VMM cluster/grid tools - Device access from VMs - Management, deployment of clusters and grid environments with VMs PAPER SUBMISSION Papers submitted to each workshop will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee and external reviewers. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 10 pages, including tables and figures at a main font size no smaller than 11 point. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. Accepted papers will be published in the Springer LNCS series - the format must be according to the Springer LNCS Style.

TOPICS ------ This workshop is intended to cover recent developments (algorithms, programs, packages, extensions, new tools, etc.) for computer algebra systems (CAS). Emphasis will be placed upon the applications of these systems for solving problems in science and engineering. Thus, we accept papers describing research on actual or possible applications of CAS and techniques to other fields (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Computer Science, Education, Industry, etc.). A very remarkable feature of CAS is their capability to handle symbolic, numerical and graphical tasks within a uniform framework. Papers exploring the interaction of these CAS symbolic, numerical and graphical tools to solve complex problems as well as papers describing strategies to combine CAS with other programs and/or packages are also welcomed. Finally, an exciting new feature of many CAS is the possibility to perform calculations by using remote kernels connected via Internet. Papers discussing the use of this new technology will also be considered. The topics to be addressed include (but are not limited to): * computer algebra applications to Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Biology, Computer Science, Social Sciences, Arts, Entertainment, Architecture, etc. * symbolic-numerical computations using computer algebra systems * computer algebra systems and Internet * industrial applications of computer algebra * problem-solving environments * symbolic-numeric interface * computer algebra systems in Education * computer algebra based simulations * new computer algebra developments (packages, notebooks, etc.) * new symbolic computation algorithms * new issues in symbolic computation IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * January 27, 2008: Draft papers due * March 31, 2008: Notification of Acceptance * April 15, 2008: Camera Ready Papers and Pre-registration * June 30- July 3, 2008: ICCSA 2008 conference in Perugia (Italy) PROCEEDINGS ----------- All accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. In addition, the accepted papers will be scheduled for oral presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. It is planned that some selected papers will be published in a Special Issue of an international journal. More details will be given later on.
