CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering technologies and methods contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise distributed application systems. EDOC 2010 will be the fourteenth event in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC has brought together leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, IT architects, solution designers and practitioners to discuss enterprise computing challenges, models and solutions from the perspectives of academia, industry and government.

Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to business processes integration, management, execution and monitoring have become some of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing. Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing systems create challenges that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and across customer businesses.

The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view on enterprise applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches that can address and relate processes, people and technology. The themes of openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and objects, provide a useful and unifying conceptual framework.

IEEE EDOC 2010 welcomes high quality scientific submissions as well as papers on enterprise computing industry experiences. Expert panel discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain.

IEEE EDOC 2010 will be realized in Vitória, ES, Brazil. Vitória is one of the three island capitals of Brazilian states, and is located in the Southeastern region, the most developed of Brazil. The city lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra do Mar mountain range and is strategically located close to the big urban centres of the country and is, on average, an hour by plane from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

HeteroPar'2010

8th International Workshop on Algorithms, Models and Tools
for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms

HeteroPar'2010

August 30, 2010, Ischia-Naples, Italy
in conjunction with EuroPar 2010

http://heteropar2010.ens-lyon.fr
======================================================================

* Submission of manuscripts: Friday, May 21, 2010
* Notification of acceptance: Friday, July 2, 2010
* Deadline for final version: Friday, July 30, 2010
* Date of workshop: Monday, August 30, 2010

Networks of computers are the most common and available parallel architecture now. Unlike dedicated parallel computer systems, networks are inherently heterogeneous. They consist of diverse computers of different performances interconnected via heterogeneous network equipment providing communication links with different latencies and bandwidths. Traditional parallel algorithms and tools are aimed at homogeneous multiprocessors and cannot be efficiently used for parallel computing on heterogeneous networks. New ideas, dedicated algorithms and tools are needed to efficiently use this new type of parallel architectures. The workshop is intended to be a forum for people working on algorithms, programming languages, tools, and theoretical models aimed at efficient problem solutions on heterogeneous networks.

Authors are encouraged to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms. Manuscripts should be limited to 10 pages in Springer LNCS style sheet and submitted through the EasyChair Conference System: https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=heteropar2010. Accepted papers that are presented at the workshop will be published in revised form in a special Euro-Par Workshop Volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the Euro-Par conference.


The topics to be covered include but are not limited to:

* Heterogeneous parallel programming paradigms and models;

* Languages, libraries, and interfaces for different heterogeneous parallel programming models;

* Performance models and their integration into the design of efficient parallel algorithms for heterogeneous platforms;

* Parallel algorithms for heterogeneous and/or hierarchical multi-core systems;

* Parallel algorithms for efficient problem solving on heterogeneous platforms (numerical linear algebra, nonlinear systems, fast transforms, computational biology, data mining, multimedia, etc.);

* Software engineering for heterogeneous parallel systems;

* Applications on heterogeneous platforms;

* Integration of parallel and distributed computing on heterogeneous platforms;

* Experience of porting parallel software from supercomputers to heterogeneous platforms;

* Fault tolerance of parallel computations on heterogeneous platforms;

* Algorithms, models and tools for grid, desktop grid, cloud, and green computing.

The increasing volumes and dimensions of information have dramatic
impact on effective decision-making. To remedy this situation,
Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse
of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge
representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating
this knowledge into legacy systems. IRI plays a pivotal role in the
capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and
extrapolation of information; and applies both information and
knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various application
domains. This conference explores three major tracks: information
reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information
reuse considers optimizing representation methodologies; information
integration studies strategies for creatively applying models in
novel domains; and reusable systems focus on ontological
opportunities for deploying models and corresponding processes.

The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present,
discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with
real-world solutions. The conference feature contributed and
invited papers. Theoretical and applied papers are both included.
The conference program will include special sessions, open forum
workshops, and keynote speeches. A forum will be conducted with
the intent of bridging IRI and Systems of Systems and why the future
of intelligent computing - including computing applications - will
lie at the juxtaposition of these two topical areas.

The conference includes, but is not limited to, the areas listed
below:
- Large Scale Data and System Integration
- Component-Based Design and Reuse
- Unifying Data Models (UML, XML, etc.) and Ontologies
- Database Integration
- Structured/Semi-structured Data

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important
innovations and recent advances in the design, implementation, deployment,
and usage of middleware. Middleware is a distributed-systems software that
resides between a rich variety of applications on the one hand, and the
underlying architecture on the other hand which may consist of the OS,
hardware, and network stacks or even databases, storage and different cloud
services. The goals of middleware include providing abstractions,
programmability, performance, scalability, security, and a variety of
essential features. This is a rapidly evolving and growing field.

Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 11th
International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware
research and technology in 2010. The scope of the conference is the design,
implementation, deployment, and evaluation of distributed system platforms
and architectures for current and future computing, storage, and
communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high
quality technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, poster and
demo presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops.

Submissions on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those
identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include,
but are not limited to:
Middleware platforms:
* Middleware for emerging cloud computing, datacenters, and server farms
* Middleware for traditional clusters and Grid computing
* Middleware for data-intensive computing
* Middleware for mobile devices, ubiquitous and mobile computing
* Middleware for sensor and embedded systems
* Middleware for Web services and Web-service composition
* Event-based, publish/subscribe, and message-oriented middleware
* Middleware for system management and monitoring
* Middleware for next generation telecommunication platforms
* Internet-based communication protocols and data transfer middleware
* Middleware support for multimedia and tele-immersion
* Middleware supporting service-oriented architectures
* Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware approaches
* Semantic middleware
* Middleware solutions for distributed databases
* Peer-to-peer middleware solutions
* Novel middleware solutions for industry frameworks
Systems issues for Middleware:
* Reliability and fault-tolerance
* Scalability and performance
* Energy- and power-aware techniques
* Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling
* Security and Information assurance
* Storage and file systems
* Parallelized execution and techniques
* Dynamic configuration and self- or autonomic- management of middleware
* Real-time solutions and quality of service
* Evaluation and deployment: challenges, techniques and lessons
Design principles and tools:
* Programming frameworks, parallel programming and design methodologies for
middleware
* Empirical and deployment studies for middleware solutions
* Debugging and distributed debugging of middleware
* Probabilistic Techniques and approaches for middleware
* Methodologies and tools for middleware design, implementation,
verification, and evaluation
* Formal methods, verification and software engineering for middleware
* Old Wine: Revisiting classical middleware paradigms, e.g., object models,
aspect orientation, etc.
=========================
Industry Papers
The conference strongly encourages submission of industry-focused papers and
use case studies; full papers should be submitted to the main program, where
they will be reviewed using appropriate criteria (e.g. emphasizing
experience and system evolution), and accepted papers will be published in
the main conference proceedings. Additionally, short industry-focused papers
(10 pages, Springer LNCS style) may be submitted to a special industrial
track; accepted short papers will be presented at the conference and
published in the ACM Digital Library. Note that submissions to the main
program may indicate a willingness to be referred to the Industrial Track if
a paper is not accepted to the main program.

Big Ideas Papers
This year, we particularly encourage "big ideas papers"; that is papers that
have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers,
the potential to motivate new research is more important than full
experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the
effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. Authors should indicate
in the introduction that their paper is a vision of a big idea, rather than
more mature work. Such papers should clearly indicate why the idea is
revolutionary and not evolutionary; what the major questions still to be
answered are; and possible avenues of attack for the community to pursue
towards the development of the idea.

Chamada de Trabalhos do VI Workshop de Redes Dinâmicas e Sistemas P2P

(WP2P 2010)

Apresentação

Redes e sistemas distribuídos dinâmicos têm se tornado mais importantes e presentes no dia-a-dia de indivíduos e organizações. Neste contexto estão incluídas as redes móveis e Ad Hoc, além dos sistemas P2P (Par-a-Par ou Peer-to-Peer). De forma geral, são sistemas tipicamente descentralizados, construídos a partir da interconexão de um grande número de nodos capazes de se auto-organizar, mantendo desempenho aceitável, mesmo frente a padrões de comportamento altamente dinâmicos. Este paradigma apresenta atualmente uma gama muito variada de aplicações e serviços, incluindo compartilhamento de conteúdo e serviços, streaming de áudio e vídeo al&eac ute;m de máquinas de busca. Destaca-se que diversos problemas de redes dinâmicas ainda estão em aberto, para os quais não há soluções clássicas estabelecidas.

O objetivo do VI Workshop de Redes Dinâmicas e Sistemas P2P (WP2P) é constituir um fórum para discussão do estado da arte em tecnologias, aplicações, sistemas e redes dinâmicas e identificar os desafios de pesquisa nesta área.
