SCCG 2012 - International Workshop on Soft Computing Techniques in Cluster and Grid Computing Systems

1st International Workshop on Soft Computing Techniques in Cluster and Grid Computing Systems -- SCCG
http://www.fing.edu.uy/cluster/sccg/
Part of the
Seventh International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing -- 3PGCIC
http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/3PGCIC-2012/
November 12-14, 2012
Victoria, Canada
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The resolution of complex problems often requires the use advanced approximate algorithms and huge computational resources to find accurate solutions in reasonable time. We look for high quality publications proposing new parallel metaheuristics designed for large parallel systems as Grid or cluster computing. Additionally, works proposing novel metaheuristic algorithms applied to solve complex problems in the context of Grid and cluster computing are of interest too. Therefore, the topics covered by this track include (but are not limited to) the following ones:
- Parallel evolutionary algorithms
- Parallel metaheuristics
- Massively parallel algorithms
- Parallel optimization frameworks
- Complex and real-world problems
- Performance measures
- Reliable algorithms on uncertain environments
- Test benchmarks
- Competitive parallel algorithms
- Cooperative parallel algorithms
- Parallel algorithms on clusters of GPGPUs
- Peer to peer algorithms
- Volunteer computing
- Ubiquitous computing
- Cloud computing
- Grid computing
- Metaheuristics for scheduling
- Real-world problems
- Soft computing tools and frameworks for cluster and Grid computing
