Special Session on Modeling and Simulation-Based Multiprocessor Scheduling
http://agent.csd.auth.gr/~karatza/SPECTS2002/
2002 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems
http://www.scs.org/confernc/spects02/spects2002cfp-gen.html
SPECTS 2002
July 14-19, 2002 San Diego, CA, USA
Call for Papers
Multiprocessor systems provide considerable computational power that can be used to solve problems with large computational requirements. However, jobs are not always executed efficiently. Good scheduling policies can improve system performance, preserve individual application performance, and avoid unbounded delays.
The availability of multiprocessor systems and wide diversity of hardware and software resources used in them makes the arbitration of requirements and management of resources difficult. Schedulers must determine where and when applications are to execute, i.e., on which processors and in what order.
The most practical way to evaluate scheduling algorithms without constructing a full scale implementation is by using modeling and simulation. Simulation models can help determine performance bottlenecks inherent to the architecture and provide a basis for refining system configurations.
Scope
This SPECTS 2002 Special Session is a forum to present the latest results of international researchers. The focus of this technical session is on Modeling and Simulation Methodologies applied to the Scheduling of Multiprocesssors.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Scheduling of multiprogrammed parallel systems Coshecduling of applications on multiple processors Load-balancing and load-sharing Scheduling of shared-memory/distributed shared-memory systems Scheduling of parallel applications within distributed systems (e.g. clusters) Scheduling Methods for Networks of Workstations Scheduling of heterogeneous processors
Paper Submission
It is strongly recommended that papers be submitted by email to the session organizer Helen Karatza (karatza@csd.auth.gr) in postscript or PDF format. Only papers that have not been previously published or presented should be submitted. Authors must obtain employer, client, or government releases prior to submitting the final manuscript. All papers will be refereed for accuracy, technical content and relevance to multiprocessor scheduling. Submissions should not exceed 25 double-spaced, 8.5x11 inch pages (including figures, tables, and references) in 10-12 point font. Include five to ten keywords, complete postal and e-mail return addresses, as well as the fax and phone numbers of each author.
Deadlines
Submission of Papers - January 31, 2002 Notification of Acceptance - April 22, 2002 Final Camera Ready Papers - May 22, 2002
