HPDC 2011 - The 20th International ACM Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing

The ACM International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC)
is the premier venue for presenting the latest research on the design, implementation,
evaluation, and use of parallel and distributed systems for high performance and high end
computing. The 20th installment of HPDC will take place in San Jose, California, in the
heart of Silicon Valley. This year, HPDC is affiliated with the ACM Federated Computing
Research Conference, consisting of fifteen leading ACM conferences all in one week.
HPDC will be held on June 9-11 (Thursday through Saturday) with affiliated workshops
taking place on June 8th (Wednesday).
Submissions are welcomed on all forms of high performance distributed computing,
including grids, clouds, clusters, service-oriented computing, utility computing, dataintensive
computing, multicore and parallel computing. All papers will be rigorously
reviewed by a distinguished program committee, with a strong focus on the combination of
rigorous scientific results and likely high impact within high performance distributed
computing. Research papers must clearly demonstrate research contributions and novelty
while experience reports must clearly describe lessons learned and demonstrate impact.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following, in the context of high
performance distributed computing:
? Systems, architectures, and networks for high end computing.
? Parallel and multicore issues and opportunities.
? Virtual machines, networks, and storage.
? Programming languages and environments.
? I/O, file systems, and data management.
? Data intensive computing.
? Resource management, scheduling, and load-balancing.
? Performance modeling, simulation, and prediction.
? Fault tolerance, reliability and availability.
? Security, configuration, policy, and management issues.
? Models and use cases for utility, grid, and cloud computing.
IMPORTANT DATES
Workshop proposals due: October 18, 2011
Paper submissions due: January 17, 2011
PAPER DEADLINE EXTENDED: January 24, 2011 (No further extensions!)
Author notification: March 21, 2011
SUBMISSIONS
Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 12 pages The page limits include
all figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM proceedings style (e.g.,
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-t...). Reviewing is single-blind.
Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance required for the program
committee to evaluate the paper's contribution, including how it differs from prior work. All
papers will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference.
Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under
consideration for another conference or a journal. Accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings, and will be incorporated into the ACM Digital Library.
WORKSHOPS
We invite proposals for workshops to be affiliated with HPDC and held on June 8th, 2011.
Further information on workshop proposals will be available on the conference web site.
The deadline for workshop proposals will be October 18th, 2010.
