14th WORKSHOP ON JOB SCHEDULING STRATEGIES FOR PARALLEL PROCESSING
                 In conjunction with IPDPS
                    Rome, May 29, 2009

The JSSPP workshop, ranking consistently in the top 10% of Citeseer's  
venue
impact ranking, addresses most aspects of parallel scheduling.
More than ever, this topic has grown in relevance and scope, and
includes not only traditional supercomputers and clusters, but also  
emerging
platforms and paradigms, such as multi-core and many-core systems,
virtualization, Grids, and cloud computing. Accordingly, JSSPP  
solicits papers
that fall under but are not limited to any of the following themes:

   * Experience with and design of parallel scheduling of all scales
   * Performance evaluation, methodology, and simulation of job  
scheduling,
     including benchmarks and metrics.
   * Workload characterization, classification, and modeling
   * General scheduling aspects: fairness, priorities, accounting  
issues,
     performance guarantees, QoS, and load estimation.
   * Scheduling within virtualized systems, Grids, compute clouds  
including interaction of
     local schedulers and higher level schedulers
   * Effect of scheduling strategies on application performance,  
interactivity,
     and interaction with memory, caches, and I/O performance.


Submission dates and guidelines
===============================

DEADLINE:        February 13, 2009
NOTIFICATION:    March 16,    2009
FINAL PAPER DUE: April 10,    2009

Papers should be no longer than 20 single-spaced pages, 10pt font,  
including
figures and references. All papers in scope will be reviewed. As  
accepted final
papers will have to follow the LNCS format authors may choose to  
already pre-format
their submittal based on the instructions at Springer's web site:

	http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0

Files should be submitted in PDF format. Authors must ensure that  
electronically
submitted files are formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper.  Submission  
procedures will
be available six weeks before submission deadline at the workshop's  
homepage:

Goals
=====

Continuing the tradition established at IPPS'95, the workshop is  
intended to
attract people from academia, industry, supercomputing centers, national
laboratories, Grid initiatives, and parallel computer vendors to  
address resource management
issues in parallel systems, and attempt to resolve conflicting goals  
such
as short response times for interactive work, minimal interference  
with batch jobs,
fairness to users based on their priorities, and high system  
utilization. We aim to
balance between
   * reports of current practices in the entire range of parallel  
systems,
   * proposals of novel schemes that have not yet been tested in a  
real environment, and
   * realistic models and their analysis.

Registration
============

Registration will be part of the IPDPS process and is handled by the  
IEEE.
For details, see the IPDPS web site
	http://www.ipdps.org/

Proceedings
===========

Interim proceedings containing a collection of the papers presented  
will be
distributed at the workshop. It is planned to also publish a post- 
workshop
proceedings in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes on Computer Science  
series,
as was done in previous years (pending approval from Springer).
