CFP: The Network-aware Data Management Workshop (NDM 2011) to be held in
conjunction with SC 2011
Mon Nov 14th, 2011 - Seattle, WA (8:30am - 5:00pm)
The Network-aware Data Management Workshop (NDM 2011) will be held in
conjunction with the IEEE/ACM International Conference for High
Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC 2011), in
Seattle, WA. The format will consist of 30 minute presentations of
peer-reviewed papers. Accepted papers will be published in ACM or IEEE
digital proceedings through SC'11.
Scope:
Accessing and managing large amounts of data is a great challenge in a
collaborative environment where resources/scientists are geographically
distributed. There is a need for efficient use of the network
infrastructure in order to address the increasing data and compute
requirements of large-scale applications. Since the amount of data is
continuously growing, traditional techniques of leaving the burden on
the user of moving/storing data is not a viable option in many cases. In
order to deliver true exascale performance to the application layer,
network-aware data management services for resource provisioning,
intelligent data-flow and coordination between the host systems is
highly desirable. This workshop will seek contribution from academia,
government, and industry to discuss emerging trends in use of networking
for data management, novel abstraction techniques for data
representation, simplification of end-to-end data flow by providing
transparent data services, end-to-end resource coordination, and
network-aware tools for the scientific community.
One "Best Paper" would be awarded for outstanding contributing to the
field of large-scale data management across network. In addition to
that, two "Best Paper Honorable Mention" would be awarded.
