[Condor-users] CFP: Workshop on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds (DataCloud) 2011, deadline extended to January 3rd, 2011



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                *** Call for Papers ***
       WORKSHOP ON DATA INTENSIVE COMPUTING IN THE CLOUDS (DATACLOUD 2011)
       In conjunction with IPDPS 2011, May 16, Anchorage, Alaska
    http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/tkosar/datacloud2011/index.php
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The First International Workshop on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds
(DataCloud2011) will be held in conjunction with the 25th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Computing Symposium (IPDPS 2011), in Anchorage, Alaska.

Applications and experiments in all areas of science are becoming increasingly complex and more demanding in terms of their computational and data requirements. Some applications generate data volumes reaching hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes. As scientific applications become more data intensive, the management
of data resources and dataflow between the storage and compute resources is
becoming the main bottleneck. Analyzing, visualizing, and disseminating these large data sets has become a major challenge and data intensive computing is now considered as the "fourth paradigm" in scientific discovery after theoretical,
experimental, and computational science.

DataCloud2011 will provide the scientific community a dedicated forum for
discussing new research, development, and deployment efforts in running
data-intensive computing workloads on Cloud Computing infrastructures. The
DataCloud2011 workshop will focus on the use of cloud-based technologies to meet the new data intensive scientific challenges that are not well served by the
current supercomputers, grids or compute-intensive clouds. We believe the
workshop will be an excellent place to help the community define the current state, determine future goals, and present architectures and services for future
clouds supporting data intensive computing.

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paper submission: January 3rd, 2011
Acceptance notification: February 1st, 2011
Final papers due: February 15th, 2011

PAPER SUBMISSION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DataCloud2011 invites authors to submit original and unpublished technical
papers. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and
relevance to the workshop topics of interest. Submitted papers may not have
appeared in or be under consideration for another workshop, conference or a
journal, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the DataCloud2011 review process. Submitted papers may not exceed 10 single-spaced
double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE
conference style, document templates can be found at
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/instruct8.5x11.pdf and
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/instruct8.5x11.doc),
including figures, tables, and references. The final 10 page papers (PDF format) must be submitted online at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/DataCloud2011/ before the deadline of January 3rd, 2011 at 11:59PM PST. Authors of the selected
DataCloud2011 papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their
workshop papers to the Journal of Grid Computing (published by Springer), Special
Issue on "Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds."
