*** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The 11th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud, and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2011) May 23-26, 2011 - Newport Beach, California, USA Link: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~ccgrid11 Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society / Technical Committee on Scalable Computing / ACM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ************************ CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ************************ OVERVIEW: Advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware technologies are leading to new paradigms and platforms for computing, ranging from computing Clusters to widely distributed Grids and Clouds. Cluster computing continues to be a key resource for high-performance computing, and a fundamental element in grid and cloud computing deployments. Grid computing has effectively addressed many integration, security, and heterogeneity aspects arising from larger-scale virtual organizations. The cloud computing paradigm promises on-demand scalability, reliability, and cost-effective high-performance. CCGrid is a series of 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, demos, workshops, panels, and tutorials, as well as the SCALE challenge featuring live demonstrations. In 2011, CCGrid will return to the U.S.A., where it was last held in 2004. CCGrid 2011 will have a special focus on four important and immediate issues that are significantly influencing all aspects of Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing: Adaptive Elastic Computing, Green Computing, Virtualization, and GP-GPU Computing. These aspects will be covered in a number of technical sessions, keynotes, tutorials, workshops and panels: TECHNICAL SESSIONS: ------------------ * Virtual Machines * GPU-based Computing * Programming Models and Runtime Systems * Grid and Cloud Computing Performance * Volunteer Computing * Distributed Systems and Applications * Resource Scheduling on the Cloud * Data Streaming * Caching and Shared Memory * Data-driven Computing * Fault Tolerance and Checkpointing * Communication and Network Management * Distributed Hash Tables * I/O and File Systems * QoS * Data Intensive Computing and Map Reduce * Security KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: ---------------- * Larry Smarr (Calit2 and UCSD) The Missing Link: Dedicated End-to-End 10Gbps Optical Lightpaths for Clusters, Grids, and Clouds * Rich Wolski (UCSB) Eucalyptus: Open Source Infrastructure for Cloud Computing TUTORIALS: --------- * Market-Oriented Cloud Computing Presenter: Rajkumar Buyya * FutureGrid Presenters: Gregor Laszewski, Archit Kulshrestha and Andrew Younge * Scientific Workflows: The Pegasus Workflow Management System Example Presenters: Karan Vahi and Gaurang Mehta * Designing Cloud and Grid Computing Systems with InfiniBand and High-speed Ethernet Presenters: Dhabaleswar Panda, Pavan Balaji and Sayantan Sur WORKSHOPS: --------- * 6th International Workshop on Using P2P, Grid and Agents for the Development of Content Networks (UPGRADE-CN 2011) * Cloud for Business, Industry and Enterprises (C4BIE) * First IEEE/ACM Workshop on the Application of Social Networking concepts to Cluster, Cloud, Grid and Services Computing (SN4CCGridS) * IEEE/ACM 2011 First International Workshop on Intercloud Federation and Convergence, Cloud and Grid (InterCloudGrid11) * 1st IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Resource Management in Wireless Grids and Clouds (WiGRAM 2011) PANELS: ------ * Autonomic Cloud Computing * From Utility Computing to Computing for Utilities: Using Cloud Computing to Accelerate Energy Informatics CCGrid 2011 will also feature: * Posters/Demos sessions * The Fourth IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2011).

To register for conference, please visit: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~ccgrid11 STUDENT SCHOLAR AWARDS: ---------------------- To encourage student participation, the organizers of CCGrid 2011 plan to award `student scholar awards? to encourage and facilitate graduate students? attendance in the conference. Interested graduate students (both, with or without papers at this year?s CCGrid) working on relevant topics can apply for the award by sending a one page summary of their accomplished and planned research. Successful candidates will be expected to present the synopsis of their research with the aid of a poster, in an interactive lunch session. Besides the general audience with whom the student will interact, one expert of the corresponding topic will be assigned for each student to have a one-to-one interaction, to provide the student with pertinent feedback on his/her research.
