CALL FOR PAPERS

Rapid advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware

technologies are leading to new paradigms and platforms for computing,

ranging from computing Clusters to widely distributed Grid and

emerging Clouds. CCGrid is a series of very successful conferences,

sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable

Computing (TCSC) and ACM, with the overarching goal of bringing

together international researchers, developers, and users and to

provide an international forum to present leading research activities

and results on a broad range of topics related to these platforms and

paradigms and their applications. The conference features keynotes,

technical presentations, posters and research demos, workshops,

tutorials, as well as the SCALE challenges featuring live

demonstrations.

In 2012, CCGrid will come to Canada for the first time and will be

held in Ottawa, the capital city. CCGrid 2012 will have a focus on

important and immediate issues that are significantly influencing all

aspects of cluster, cloud and grid computing. Topics of interest

include, but are not limited to:

* Applications and Experiences: Applications to real and complex

problems in science, engineering, business and society; User

studies; Experiences with large-scale deployments systems or

applications.

* Architecture: System architectures, Design and deployment.

* Autonomic Computing and Cyberinfrastructure: Self managed behavior,

models and technologies; Autonomic paradigms and approaches

(control-based, bio-inspired, emergent, etc.); Bio-inspired

approaches to management; SLA definition and enforcement.

* Performance Modeling and Evaluation: Performance models; Monitoring

and evaluation tools, Analysis of system/application performance;

Benchmarks and testbeds.

* Programming Models, Systems, and Fault-Tolerant Computing:

Programming models for cluster, clouds and grid computing; fault

tolerant infrastructure and algorithms; systems software to enable

efficient computing.

* Multicore and Accelerator-based Computing: Software and application

techniques to utilize multicore architectures and

accelerators/heterogeneous computing systems.

* Scheduling and Resource Management: Techniques to schedule jobs and

resources on clusters, clouds and grid computing platforms.

* Cloud Computing: Cloud architectures; Software tools and techniques

for clouds.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted

manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not

exceed 8 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and

references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print

area of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high,

two-column format with columns 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8

inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully

justified text). Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be

returned without review. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF

format and make sure that the file will print on a printer that uses

letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. The official language of the meeting is

English. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on

correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of

presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is

not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers

not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and

further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)

notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and

sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date,

exceeding the page limit, or not appropriately structured may not be

considered. Authors may contact the conference chairs for more

information. The proceedings will be published through the IEEE

Computer Society Press, USA and will be made available online through

the IEEE Digital Library.
