CALL FOR PAPERS ===============

First International Workshop on Advances in High-Performance E-Science Middleware and Applications (AHEMA 2008)

held in conjunction with the IEEE eScience Conference 2008

December 7-12, 2008

University Place Conference Center, Indiana University/Purdue University (IUPUI) Campus, Indianapolis, IN, USA

http://escience2008.iu.edu/workshops/advances.shtml

The Workshop on Advances in High-Performance E-Science Middleware and Applications is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of web/grid services, middleware and technologies that enable e-science applications. The enabling middleware technologies include tools to assemble together different resources such as parallel supercomputers, data archives, high-speed storage systems, advanced visualization devices and scientific instruments using high speed networks connecting geographically distributed devices and organizations. Many recent international efforts are actively fostering the development of e-science technologies and solutions. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going e-science computing research, focusing on high-performance aspects of e-science middleware and applications.

Submission Guidelines ---------------------

Authors are invited to submit 8-page papers by August 10, 2008 and must submit through the workshop electronic submission service. Electronic submission is available at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/AHEMA2008/

The results presented in the paper must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere, including the proceedings of other conferences or workshops. Papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers are evaluated with respect to originality, significance, clarity, and technical soundness. One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present the paper at the workshop. The proceedings of the conference and the workshops will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. The workshop organizers will invite authors of the best papers to submit an extended version of the paper to be included in a special issue of the Journal of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (Wiley publishers).

Important Dates ---------------

Deadline for Submission of Papers: August 10, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: September 7, 2008 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: September 29, 2008

Workshop Focus --------------

Creating breakthrough middleware technologies for high-performance e- science applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications of e-science. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance e-science middleware and applications, and related topics. For example, the following topics are relevant to the workshop:

** E-science applications and middleware for high-performance computing; ** Benchmarking and performance studies of e-science applications; ** Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing in grid and cloud computing; ** Performance models for e-science applications and middleware; ** High-performance XML-based protocol processing techniques; ** Efficient job scheduling for high-performance grid and e-science applications; ** Performance-aware resource reservation; ** Security-related performance issues in e-science environments; ** Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing for e-science; ** Performance-enhancements using grid information and monitoring services; ** Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management and data access services; ** Grid database optimizations; ** Peer-to-peer systems for high-performance grid environments; ** Optimization techniques for mobile grids; ** Grid economy for high-performance applications.

Please feel free to contact the organizers below to discuss possible paper topics.
