--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Call for Extended Abstracts *** The 3rd Workshop on Cloud Computing and its Applications (CCA) 2011 In conjunction with GlobusWorld 2011, April 12th-13th, Argonne, Illinois http://www.cca11.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dramatic growth in data and equally rapid decline in the cost of highly integrated clusters has spurred the emergence of the data center as the platform of choice for a growing class of data-intensive applications. To encourage conversations between those developing applications, algorithms, software, and hardware for such "cloud" platforms, we are convening the third workshop on Cloud Computing and Its Applications (CCA11). CCA11 will provide reception and poster session on April 12th (Call for Extended Abstract - due March 15th), as well as a full day of distinguished invited talks on April 13th on cloud computing, data intensive scalable computing, and related topics. CCA11 will be held at Argonne National Laboratory (Bldg. 240 Conference Center) in Argonne Illinois, just 25 miles west of Chicago, Illinois. TENTATIVE PROGRAM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tentative program for CCA11 is (the latest updates can be found at http://cca11.org/agenda/): Tuesday, April 12 5:00pm - 7:00pm Reception and Posters Wednesday, April 13 8:15a - 9:00a Continental Breakfast 9:00a - 10:00a Keynote 10:30a - 12:00p Session 1 - Data Center and Cloud Networking -Data Center Networks -Steven Carter, Cisco Virtual Networks 1:00p - 2:30p Session 2 - Cloud Software -An Introduction to Open Stack -Ian Foster, ANL and Univ. of Chicago, Globus Online -Best CCA11 Poster Talk 3:00p - 4:30p Session 3 - Cloud Applications -Matt Arrott, UCSD, Ocean Observatories Initiative -Alex Szalay, John Hopkins University, Simulation and Large Data -Robert Grossman, University of Chicago, Open Science Data Cloud 4:30p - 5:30p Panel and Discussion EXTENDED ABSTRACT TOPICS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * compute and storage cloud architectures and implementations * map-reduce and its generalizations * programming models and tools * novel data-intensive computing applications * data intensive scalable computing * distributed data intensive computing * content distribution systems for large data * data management within and across data centers * models, frameworks and systems for cloud security IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended Abstract submission: March 15th, 2011 Acceptance notification: March 22nd, 2011 Final extended abstracts due: April 1st, 2011 Workshop date: April 12th-13th, 2011 EXTENDED ABSTRACT SUBMISSION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of not more than 2 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages (including all text, figures, and references); please use the ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript templates from http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. A 150 word abstract and the final 2 page extended abstract (PDF format) must be submitted online at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/CCA2011/ before the deadline of March 15th, 2011 at 11:59PM PST. The extended abstracts will be reviewed, and accepted abstracts will be published online at the CCA11 website (http://www.cca11.org/). Notifications of the paper decisions will be sent out by March 22nd, 2011. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the abstract in the poster session on April 12, 2011. One extended abstract will be chosen for a 30-minute presentation slot in the final program, which consists of invited leading researchers in Cloud Computing. For more information about the poster session, please visit http://www.cca11.org/, or send questions to Ioan Raicu (iraicu@xxxxxxxxxx).
