WSC 2017 - 9th Workshop on Scalable Computing (WSC'17)

The Workshop on Scale Computing (WSC) is a result of evolution in the world of computing. It originated (as Workshop on Large Scale Computing in Grids; LaSCoG) in 2005. Next, cloud computing became popular and, in response to this new trend, Workshop on Scalable Computing in Distributed Systems (SCoDiS) emerged. The two workshops (under a joint name LaSCoG-SCoDiS) have been organized till 2014 (information about past events can be found here). However, the world of large-scale computing continuously evolves. In particular, data-intensive computations (known as "Big Data") brough a completely new set of issues that have to be solved (in addition to those that exist since late 1990th and that still deserve our attention). Therefore we have decided to refresh the name of the event (to better represent the scope of interest). This is how the Workshop on Scalable Computing (WSC) came to being.
