The Doctoral Symposium of the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster,

Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid) provides a forum for students in the

areas of scalable Clusters, widely distributed Grids and emerging Clouds

to obtain feedback and advice on their Ph.D. dissertation topics and

research career. The specific goals of the Symposium are to provide

advice to students for a successful thesis completion, to enable

students to evaluate their research in the context of global trends, and

to engender fruitful interactions and networking between student

researchers at a similar stage in their careers.

Selected students will present their work in front of an audience that

consists of both their peers and a committee of expert researchers.

The program committee consists of experts in the field, which provide

their valuable feedback to the ongoing research work of participating

students. They will also have the option to display their work as a

poster.

*** Topic Areas ***

The symposium is open to all Ph.D. students carrying out research on

topics related to the CCGrid symposium interest areas. Example topics

of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Architectures, Systems and Designs for cluster, Grid and Cloud computing

- Scalability issues in Grid and Cloud computing environments

- Middleware for scalable distributed and cluster computing

- Scheduling, load balancing and Resource management paradigms

- Programming Models, Tools, Problem Solving Environments and Applications

- Fault-Tolerant and reliable Computing

- Trust, Security and Data Privacy on public and hybrid clouds

- Service-Oriented Cyberinfrastructure, including discovery, composition

and orchestration

- Multicore, Accelerator-based and Heterogeneous Computing

- Autonomic and Nature inspired Computing

- Abstractions and Models for Dynamic, distributed and data intensive

applications

- Community and collaborative computing networks

- High-performance networking

- Economic and Utility computing models for clusters, Grids and Clouds

*** Important Dates ***

- Submission Deadline: January 15th, 2012

- Notification of acceptance: February 6th, 2012

- Camera-ready submission: February 27th, 2012

*** Submission ***

Each submission needs to have a Ph.D. student as the sole author or as the

primary author with his/her thesis advisor(s) as co-authors. Students must

be officially enrolled in a Ph.D. Program at the time of submission. It is

expected that they would have one to two years left in their candidature so

that they have enough time to incorporate the suggestions made at the

Symposium.

The submission should contain the following points:

- An introduction with the specific research proposal that describes the

problem that the thesis aims to address

- The significance of the work and its relevance to the CCGrid symposium

topic areas

- Related work and their shortcomings that the candidate's research aims to

address

- Explanation of the proposed approach and the research methodology adopted

- The results obtained so far, remaining objectives and the challenges

expected to be tackled

- Expected contributions of the research and the novelty and benefits of

the suggested solutions

The submissions will be limited to between 4-6 pages of double column text,

using single spaced 10 point size type on Letter (8.5"x11"), following the

IEEE Computer Society proceedings guidelines. The proceedings of the

doctoral symposium will be published as part of the CCGrid 2012 proceedings,

as well as in the IEEE Digital Library.

Submissions should be made electronically via the online submission site:
