=================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Cloud Computing on Infrastructure as a Service and its Applications http://users.iit.uni-miskolc.hu/~kecskemeti/PDP13CC/ 27th February - 1st March, 2013, Belfast, Northern Ireland a special session of PDP2013 the 21st Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing http://www.pdp2013.org/special.html =================================================================== Scope and Topics: ----------------- Cloud Computing covers a broad range of distributed computing principles from infrastructure (e.g distributed storage, reconfigurable networks) to new programming platforms (e.g MS Azure, Google Appe Engine), and internet based applications. Particularly, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud systems allow the dynamic creation, destruction and management of virtual machines (VMs) on virtualized clusters. IaaS Clouds provide a high-level of abstraction to the end user, one that allows the creation of on-demand services through a pay as you go infrastructure combined with elasticity. This special session on Cloud Computing is intended to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of Cloud Computing technologies and applications with compute and data intensive workloads, the challenges and opportunities offered by the development of Cloud Computing solutions themselves, as well as case studies in applications of Cloud Computing. The general venue will be a good occasion to share, learn, and discuss the latest results in this field of research. The special session program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Virtualization technologies, * Beyond-CPU virtualization (e.g. I/O, GPU), * Virtual Machine scheduling and management algorithms, * IaaS systems operational challenges, * Cost and pricing models in virtualized infrastructures, * Enterprise level infrastructure clouds, * Solutions that meet demands of HPC clouds, * Federative aspects of hybrid (mixed private-public) clouds, * Novel IaaS architectures, platforms and applications, * Virtual Appliance storage management (e.g. caching, repositories, marketplaces), * Virtual Machine migration techniques, * Big Data and Infrastructure clouds, * Cloud Computing for scientific applications, * Performance evaluation, modelling and prediction, * Programming models and tools, * Cloud computing for compute and/or data intensive applications * Workflows on the Cloud * CPU and GPU Clouds, Desktop Grids * Cloud Computing resource management * Cloud Computing deployment models * Cloud storage and I/O Deadlines: ---------- * Deadline for paper submission: 30th July 2012 * Acceptance notification: 8th October 2012 * Camera ready paper due: 29th October 2012 * Conference: 27th February – 1st March 2013 Paper submission: ----------------- Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 5000 words in length and including a 150-200 word abstract. To facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of the paper should contain only the title and abstract. Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present the paper at the Conference. Papers submitted for the workshops or special sessions must be submitted through the conference submission system with an indication of the name of the workshop/special session. Papers must adhere to the formatting rules of the conference and will undergo the same review process as other papers submitted to the conference.
