Title: The Social Compute Unit
By: Schahram Dustdar

Abstract

Social computing is perceived mainly as a vehicle for establishing and
maintaining social (private) relationships as well as utilizing
political and social interests. Unsurprisingly, social computing lacks
substantial adoption in enterprises. Clearly, collaborative computing
is firmly established (as a niche), but no tight integration exists of
social and collaborative computing approaches to facilitate mainstream
problem solving in and between enterprises or teams of people. In this
talk I will present a fresh look at this problem and examine how to
integrate people in the form of human-based computing and software
services into one composite system, which can be modeled, programmed,
and instantiated on a large scale.

Schahram Dustdar's Bio

Schahram Dustdar (ACM Distinguished Scientist), is Full Professor of
Computer Science with a focus on Internet Technologies heading the
Distributed Systems Group, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien).

From 1999 - 2007 he worked as the co-founder and chief scientist of
Caramba Labs Software AG in Vienna (acquired by Engineering NetWorld
AG), a venture capital co-funded software company focused on software
for collaborative processes in teams. He is Editor in Chief of
Computing
(Springer) and on the editorial board of IEEE Internet Computing, as
well as author of some 300 publications. More info on his homepage:

Title: Elastic Processes on Clouds: Principles, Research Challenges
and Approaches.
By Truong Hong Linh

Abstract:
Cloud computing and social computing are the two emerging research
topics. Cloud computing offers possibilities to utilize machine-based
computing resources with different degrees of cost and quality. Social
computing empowers us to virtualize human capabilities as human-based
computing resources. Together, techniques from cloud computing and
social computing facilitate the utilization of a very large number of
machine- and human-based resources for developing processes that can
be physically and economically elastic in multiple dimensions. While
in contemporary research the elasticity is mostly interpreted as the
capability of scaling in and out of machine-based computing resources
within a single cloud, we argue that the elasticity can be performed
in multiple dimensions, such as resource, cost, and quality.
Furthermore, the elasticity can also be performed in hybrid machine-
and human-based computing systems. In this talk, we will discuss
principles of such elastic processes, their research challenges and
our approaches.

Truong Hong Linh's Short bio:

Hong-Linh Truong currently is a senior research scientist at
Distributed Systems Group, Institute of Information Systems, Vienna
University of Technology (TU Vienna). He received an engineer degree
from the HoChiMinh City University of Technology, Vietnam, in 1998,
and a PhD degree from Vienna University of Technology, Austria, in
2005, both in computer science and engineering. His research interests
focus on understanding of performance, context, and data quality
metrics associated with distributed and parallel applications and
systems through monitoring and analysis, and on utilizing these
metrics for the adaptation and optimization of these applications and
systems. He has published some 90 papers in referred book chapters,
journal and conferences/workshops.
