CFP: Scientific Computing Infrastructure workshop at ICCSA (Beijing, China, July 4-7, 2016)
Vladimir Korkhov
CALL FOR PAPERS Advancements
in computing platforms research allow building complex systems which
help conduct virtual experiments: setup virtual testbeds, fetch input
data, run experiment, compare its output to outputs of similar
experiments and organize obtained results in a convenient way for
further retrieval and processing by other researchers. These systems are
composed of a variety of distributed components and there are numerous
ways to tie them together. The objective of the workshop is to show
modern techniques on constructing such complex systems and share usage
and maintenance experience.
TOPICS
The topics of the SCI’16 workshop include but are not limited to:
- Distributed, grid and cloud information systems;
- Distributed system and application performance monitoring;
- Virtualization, application containers and delivery techniques;
- Distributed databases, key-value stores and parallel file systems for high-performance computing;
- Scientific and general workflow systems, scientific virtual experiment tracking and data provenance;
- Application portability for heterogeneous and homogeneous distributed computer systems.
Accepted papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Conference proceedings that will be indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.
IMPORTANT DATES
March 20, 2016: Submission deadline
April 20, 2016: Notification of Acceptance and Early-bird Registration starts.
May 15, 2016: Early-bird Registration ends.
May 15, 2016: Submission deadline for the final version of the Papers
July 4-7, 2016: ICCSA 2016 Conference
PAPER SUBMISSION
To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the link provided at the ICCSA 2016 web site: http://ess.iccsa.org.
Only papers submitted through the electronic system and strictly
adhering to the relevant format will be considered for reviewing and
publication.
The submission must fall into the following category: Scientific Computing Infrastructure (SCI 2016) workshop paper.
The
submitted paper must be between 10 to 16 pages long for LNCS
publication and should be formatted according to the LNCS rules,
respectively. Please consult the URL http://www.iccsa.org/authors-instructions
for formatting information and templates. Each paper must deal with
original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere
(copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of the authors).
Each paper will be reviewed by at least three experts in the relevant
field, ensuring the publication of only top quality contributions.
When a paper is accepted at least one of the authors has to register to
the Conference and orally present the paper at the Workshop. Accepted
papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Conference
proceedings. Each participant will receive the electronic copy of all
the proceeding volumes (LNCS) on a USB key. For a selected number of top
quality papers, after the Conference, the authors will be requested to
extend the paper in order to be published as special issues in
Transactions on Computational Science.
