The Second International Workshop on

Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds (DataCloud-SC11) 2011

http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/DataCloud-SC11/index.html

November 14th, 2011

Seattle, Washington, USA

Co-located with with IEEE/ACM International Conference for

High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC11)

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.

The second international workshop on Data-intensive Computing in the Clouds

(DataCloud-SC11) 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 DataCloud-SC11 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.

For more information about the workshop, please see

http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/DataCloud-SC11/. To see the 1st workshop's program

agenda, and accepted papers and presentations, please see

http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/tkosar/datacloud2011/. We are also running a Special

Issue on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds in the Springer Journal of Grid

Computing with a paper submission deadline of August 16th 2011, which will appear in

print in June 2012.

Topics

* Data-intensive cloud computing applications, characteristics, challenges

* Case studies of data intensive computing in the clouds

* Performance evaluation of data clouds, data grids, and data centers

* Energy-efficient data cloud design and management

* Data placement, scheduling, and interoperability in the clouds

* Accountability, QoS, and SLAs

* Data privacy and protection in a public cloud environment

* Distributed file systems for clouds

* Data streaming and parallelization

* New programming models for data-intensive cloud computing

* Scalability issues in clouds

* Social computing and massively social gaming

* 3D Internet and implications

* Future research challenges in data-intensive cloud computing

Paper Submission and Publication

Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not more than

10 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages,

as per ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines

(http://www.acm.org/publications/instructions_for_proceedings_volumes); document

templates can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.

We are also seeking position papers of no more than 5 pages in length. A 250 word

abstract (PDF format) must be submitted online at

https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/DataCloud_SC11/ before the deadline of September 2nd,

2011 at 11:59PM PST; the final 5/10 page papers in PDF format will be due on September

9th, 2011 at 11:59PM PST. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be

published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library (pending

approval). Notifications of the paper decisions will be sent out by October 7th, 2011.

Selected excellent work may be eligible for additional post-conference publication as

journal articles. We are currently running a Special Issue on Data Intensive Computing

in the Clouds in the Springer Journal of Grid Computing. Submission implies the

willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. For more

information, please see http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/DataCloud-SC11/ or send email

to datacloud-sc11-chairsdatasys.cs.iit.edu.
