*********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ***********************
OVERVIEW/SCOPE:
Desktop grids and volunteer computing systems (DGVCS's) utilize the free resources available in Intranet or Internet environments for supporting large-scale computation and storage. For over a decade, DGVCS's have been one of the largest and most powerful distributed computing systems in the world, offering a high return on investment for applications from a wide range of scientific domains (including computational biology, climate prediction, and high-energy physics). While DGVCS's sustain up to PetaFLOPS of computing power from hundreds of thousands to millions of resources, fully leveraging the platform's computational power is still a major challenge because of the immense scale, high volatility, and extreme heterogeneity of such systems.
The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing recent advances and identifying open issues for the development of scalable, fault-tolerant, and secure DGVCS's. The workshop seeks to bring desktop grid researchers together from theoretical, system, and application areas to identify plausible approaches for supporting applications with a range of complexity and requirements on desktop environments.
This year's workshop will have special emphasis on the interaction of clouds and desktop grids.
As such, we invite submissions on DGVCS topics including the following:
* Cloud computing over unreliable enterprise or Internet resources * DGVCS middleware and software infrastructure (including management), with emphasis on virtual machines * incorporation of DGVCS's with Grid and Cloud infrastructures * DGVCS programming environments and models * modeling, simulation, and emulation of large-scale, volatile environments * resource management and scheduling * resource measurement and characterization * novel DGVCS applications * data management (strategies, protocols, storage) * security on DGVCS's (reputation systems, result verification) * multi-core DGVCS's * fault-tolerance on shared, volatile resources * peer-to-peer (P2P) algorithms or systems applied to DGVCS's
With regard to the last topic, we strongly encourage authors of P2P-related paper submissions to emphasize the applicability to DGVCS's in order to be within the scope of the workshop.
IMPORTANT DATES *************************** Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2009 Acceptance Notification: December 30, 2010 Camera-ready paper deadline: January 25, 2010
PAPER SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed 6 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with columns 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully justified text). Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make sure that the file will print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Publication of the proceedings will be by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA in the same volume as the main conference.
