Call For Papers - CFP

(LSAP2009)

In conjunction with the 18-th International Symposium on High

Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC-18)

Munich, Germany, June 9 or 10, 2009 http://www.lsap.org

*** Submission deadline: March 1, 2009 ***

MISSION

Over the last decade, computer systems and applications in everyday

use have grown to unprecedented scales. Large clusters serving

millions of search requests per day, grids executing large workflows

and parameter sweeps consisting of thousands of jobs, and

supercomputers running complex e-science applications, have now

hundreds of thousands of processing cores. In addition, clouds are

quickly emerging as a large-scale computing infrastructure. Peer-to-

peer systems and centralized video distribution systems that dominate

the internet and complicated internet applications such as massive

multiplayer online games are used by millions of people every day.

In view of this tremendous growth, understanding the performance of

large-scale computer systems and applications has become vital to

institutional, commercial, and private interests. This workshop

solicits original papers on performance evaluation methods, tools, and

studies focusing on the challenges of large scale, such as

decentralization, predictable performance, reliability, and

scalability. It aims to bring together system designers and

researchers involved with the modeling and performance evaluation of

large-scale systems and applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Performance aspects of large-scale systems

- Performance aspects of large-scale applications

- Performance-oriented properties such as availability, reliability,

and scalability

- Workload characterization and modeling - Mathematical modeling and

analysis methods

- Simulation methods and tools

- Measurement methods and tools

- Performance case studies

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submitted papers should be limited to 8 pages (including tables,

images, and references) and formatted according to the ACM SIGS Style.

Use the official HPDC conference submission site to submit your paper;

only pdf format is accepted. All papers will receive at least three

reviews. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the

authors to register for the workshop and present the paper. The

authors of the best paper in the workshop will receive a best-paper

award.

PROCEEDINGS

The proceedings of the workshop will be published by ACM.
