ACDC 2009 Call for Papershttp://www.cs.duke.edu/nicl/acdc09/Workshop on Automated Control for Datacenters and CloudsJune 19th, 2009, Barcelona, SpainIn conjunction with the 6th Intl. Conference on Autonomic Computingand Communications (ICAC 2009)Overview:Large server farms-from enterprise datacenters and giant-scaleInternet services to utility and public cloud computing-are acritical part of the execution platform for many of today'ssoftware programs. Interactive web services, business workflows,large-scale batch data processing, and many scientific computationsall run on platforms built atop large server farms. While thesesystems differ in many ways, they share many common challenges, suchas the desire to maximize efficiency and performance whilemaintaining predictable behavior, power efficiency and fairness, andat the same time responding appropriately to environmental and systemchanges such as hardware failures and changes in workload.We believe that solutions to these challenges in performance,reliability and scalability will share many similarities across allvariants of server farm infrastructures. In particular, we believeautomated techniques will play a critical role in reasoning about andorchestrating the behaviors of these large scale systems. The goalof this workshop is to broadly explore the similarities anddifferences in current and future policies and techniques in thecontext of these large server farms.Important Dates:Submission deadline: February 27th, 2009Notification of acceptance: March 27th, 2009Camera-ready deadline: April 6th, 2009Workshop Organizers:Program Co-chairsJeff Chase, Duke UniversityEmre Kiciman, Microsoft ResearchRich Wolski, UC Santa BarbaraProgram CommitteeKaterina Argyraki, EPFLFranck Capello, INRIARenato J. Figueiredo, University of FloridaMarty Humphrey, University of VirginiaRandy Katz, UC BerkeleyMike Kozuch, Intel Labs PittsburghMilan Milenkovic, IntelPartha Ranganathan, HP LabsDouglas Thain, University of Notre DameJohn Wilkes, GoogleTopics and Submissions:We invite authors to submit short position papers or reports ofearly work related to the automated control of datacenters andclouds. Relevant topics for submission include, but are notlimited to:* Autonomic policies and techniques for improving reliability,performance, scalability and power efficiency of large serverfarms* Separation of application concerns from infrastructure, resource,power and other management issues* Change management and adaptation techniques* Experience reports on challenges and solutions in large-scaleInternet services, cloud computing infrastructures, enterprisedatacenters and other server farms.* Experience reports on requirements of high performance datacomputing, scientific computing, data processing and otherapplications using large server farms* Experiences with automatic control strategies, including strategiesbased on rule systems, strategies economic models, metering-based,control* Reports on key similarities and difference in autonomicrequirements across classes of server farm infrastructures* Management of network infrastructures within server farms andbetween server farmsPapers will be selected based on their originality, technical merit,topical relevance and their likelihood of generating discussion atthe workshop. Furthermore, while simulations are acceptable in somescenarios, strong preference will be given to papers describingexperience with systems that have been deployed and tested.All accepted papers will be available online prior to the workshopand proceedings will be distributed at the workshop.Submission InstructionsSubmitted papers must be no longer than 6 two-column pages (10ptfont, 1 inch margins), including all figures and references. Thereview process is not blind. Author names and affiliations shouldbe included on the first page. Papers should be submitted as PDFdocuments viewable using standard tools (e.g., Adobe Acrobat).Further submission instructions will be posted at the workshop website.Masoud Sadjadi, PhDAssistant ProfessorSchool of Computing and Information SciencesFlorida International UniversityUniversity Park, ECS 212C11200 SW 8th St., Miami, FL 33199Email: sadjadics.fiu.eduWeb: www.cs.fiu.edu/~sadjadiTel: 305-348-1835Fax: 305-348-2336
