Call For Papers - CFP

The key problems for Cloud computing and The Internet of things are lacking of computing resources and hard to use high performance platform. Volunteer computing systems (VC's) utilize the free resources available in Intranet or Internet environments for supporting large-scale computation and storage. For over a decade, VC's have been one of the largest and most powerful distributed computing systems in the world, offering a high return on investment for applications from a wide range of scientific domains (including computational biology, climate prediction, and high-energy physics). While VC's sustain up to PetaFLOPS of computing power from hundreds of thousands to millions of resources, fully leveraging the platform's computational power is still a major challenge because of the immense scale, high volatility, and extreme heterogeneity of such systems. In order to overcome the hard use of platform, an easy of use interface is provided to end users.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing recent advances and identifying open issues for the development of scalable, fault-tolerant, and secure VCs. So this workshop seek some frameworks for harness dedicated computing resources (DCR) and non dedicated computing resources (NDCR) according to reality of Cloud computing and The Internet of things. The workshop seeks to bring Colud computing and The Internet of things researchers together from theoretical, system, and application areas to identify plausible approaches for supporting applications with a range of complexity and requirements on volunteer computing resource. We strongly encourage authors of The Internet of things related paper submissions to emphasize the applicability to VCS's in order to be within the scope of the workshop.

Workshop Main Topic (but not limited to)

?Cloud computing over unreliable enterprise or Internet resources

?The Internet of things

?VCS middleware and software infrastructure (including management) with emphasis on virtual machines

?Incorporation of VCS's with Grid and Cloud infrastructures

?VCS programming environments and models

?Modeling, simulation, and emulation of large-scale, volatile environments

?Resource management and scheduling

?Resource measurement and characterization

?Novel VCS applications

?Data management (strategies, protocols, storage)

?Security on VC's (reputation systems, result verification)

?Multi-core VC's

?Fault-tolerance on shared, volatile resources

?Peer-to-peer (P2P) algorithms or systems applied to VC's

Paper Submission

Unpublished papers reporting original research results and experience are solicited. Each paper, written in English, should be no more than 6 pages (GCC2010 paper format), including references and Illustrations. Electronic submissions in PDF format are strongly recommended. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the workshop to present the paper.
