High-Performance Grid and Cloud Computing Workshop

May 21, 2012, Shanghai, China

 
in conjunction with
 

International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium - IPDPS 2012
May 21-25, 2012,
Shanghai, China



 

Background

The ninth HPGC workshop will be held in conjunction with IPDPS 2012 in Shanghai, PRC on May 21, 2012. It will give a forum to researchers and engineers to present their results in cloud, grid, and distributed computing. Special areas of interest will be cloud and grid services, distributed applications, mapping applications and data on distributed resources, programming models for distributed computing. As usual, we will have a leading expert in the areas as a keynote speaker.


Topics
  • Applications: Theory and practice cloud and grid computing.
  • Infrastructure: Implementation and evaluation of services for distributed computing.
  • Management and Monitoring: Account management, resource allocation and pricing.
  • Scheduling: Application scheduling, workflow management.
  • Networking: Bandwidth allocation, data routing, co-scheduling of network and compute resources.
  • Resource allocation: Mapping data and applications on distributed resources.
  • Programming Models: Middleware for remote execution and inter-task communication.
  • Virtualization: Virtualization of computing, storage, and network resources.

Paper Submission

We invite submissions not exceeding eight single-spaced pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns). Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal. Each paper will be refereed by at least three independent reviewers. Paper submission indicates the intention of the author to present the paper at the HPGC workshop at IPDPS 2012.

Submissions are Extended to January 13, to http://edas.info//N11283

The HPGC workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society along with the IPDPS conference proceedings.
