NDM 2013 - 3rd IEEE/ACM Network-aware Data Management Workshop

The 3rd International Workshop on Network-aware Data Management (NDM 2013) will be held in conjunction with SC 2013 - Sun Nov 17th, 2013 ? Denver, CO, USA.
The Network-aware Data Management Workshop (NDM 2013) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE/ACM International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC 2013), in Denver, Colorado. The format of the workshop will consist of a keynote talk, invited talks, 30-min presentations of peer-reviewed papers, and a panel discussion at the end. Accepted papers will be published in ACM digital proceedings.

Scope:
In addition to increasing data volumes, future scientific collaborations require cooperative work at the extreme scale. As the number of multidisciplinary teams and experimental facilities increase, data sharing and resource coordination among distributed centers are becoming significant challenges every passing year. In the age of extraordinary advances in communication technologies, there is a need for efficient use of the network infrastructure to address increasing data requirements of today’s applications.
Traditional network and data management techniques are unlikely to scale to meet the needs of future collaborative data-intensive systems. We require novel data access mechanisms and intelligent network middleware to enable future design principles of network-aware data management.
This workshop will seek contributions from academia, government, and industry to discuss emerging trends and new technological developments in dynamic resource provisioning, intelligent data-flow and resource coordination, end-to-end processing of data, network-aware application design issues, and cutting-edge network performance problems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
High-performance network protocols
Performance problems in networking applications
Network support for data-intensive computing
Network-aware data scheduling and resource brokering
Dynamic resource provisioning and network virtualization
Performance evaluation of network-aware data management
Tools and systems to support future collaborative science
Practical experiences and prototypes for large-scale data streaming
Requirements and Issues for Network Quality of Service (QoS)
Application pipelines and network-aware toolkits for data distribution
Data replication and re-configurable data-access frameworks
Network Fault Tolerant Data Distribution for large scientific datasets
Optimization and development of data transfer protocols
Scalable services for network-aware applications
Data clouds, data scheduling, and data placement
Heterogeneous and distributed resource management
Performance evaluation of data intensive networking applications
One "Best Paper" would be awarded for outstanding contributing to the field of network-aware data management.
The paper(s) should be no longer than ten (10) pages, including references. It should be typeset in ACM conference format.
Review of the full papers will be done by the program committee, assisted by external referees.
At least one author of an accepted paper must attend and present the paper in the workshop.
