[wg-all] Call for papers for FAS* 2015 conferences and AMGCC'15 workshop

[Sill, Alan]

Dear OGF colleagues,

Welcome to the EGI 2015 attendees! We hope to see many participants in the community at the EGI conference (including OGF 44 and Cloud Plugfest 16) taking place all this week in Lisbon. This is an exciting event.

Looking ahead to the future, we are planning an OGF presence at several upcoming events and already have plans in discussion to be present at next year's EGI conference in Kraków, Poland.

Closer to hand, we have invitations to host OGFs at the ICCAC 2015 conference, part of the Foundations and Applications of Self* Computing (FAS*) 2015 set of co-located conferences, September 21-15 2015 in Boston, Massachusetts USA (see info below), and at the 8th IEEE/ACM Utility and Cloud Computing 2015 conference December 7-10, 2015 in Cyprus (http://cyprusconferences.org/ucc2015/).

Links for the FAS* conferences are below, and calls for OGF session proposals will be posted shortly if these events are approved and adopted by the Grid Forum Steering Group, which should take place in the near future. We will post more information on all of these events as soon as it becomes available. We encourage you to contact us to help with the organization of OGF meetings and activities at these events. It is essential to know ahead of time about any plans for OGF community and working group meetings that can be planned to support your work.

Meanwhile we would like to call your attention to the submission information and deadlines for these conferences (for example, the abstract registration deadline, which is TODAY for the CAC 2015 conference) and related logistical information, and to call your attention to the AMGCC 2015 workshop, which OGF co-sponsors. Please help with your contributions and support to make these events successful.

VP of Standards

About the AMGCC workshop at CAC 2015:

Each year since its inception OGF has co-sponsored the workshop on Advanced Management of Grid and Cloud Computing (AMGCC), which is described in the information below.

CFP: The 3rd International Workshop on Autonomic Management of Grid and Cloud Computing (AMGCC'15)

* Co-located with the International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing 2015 (CAC 2015),
* Cambridge, MA, USA -- September 21, 2015<x-apple-data-detectors://1>

AMGCC'15 workshop (http://htcaas.kisti.re.kr/wiki/index.php/AMGCC15) will be held in Cambridge on September 21, 2015<x-apple-data-detectors://3>, in conjunction with the International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (CAC 2015) (http://www.autonomic-conference.org/).

Grid computing leverages enormous computing resources scattered over the internet in order to integrate and form a large-scale computing platform to solve grand-scale problems. Grid computing also has had great influence on the cloud computing besides the virtualization technology which logically decouples the physical computing resources with the computing system. Consequently, the cloud computing provides cost-effective, fast, and unlimited virtualized resources for large-scale applications. Cloud computing is also used as “utility computing” where the computing services are provided on-demand and as needs based. Thus, it is commonly deployed for various applications these days.
Managing hybrid, virtualized computing resources in a large-scale cloud computing environments, however, still leaves a lot of research to be conducted. Furthermore, autonomous managements of resources in such a large scale federated hybrid computing infrastructures are   crucial. In this workshop, we would like to bring researcher around the world to discuss and communicate the challenges and research results in the design, implementation, and evaluation of novel autonomous hybrid cloud resource management systems, and the theory and practice of cloud and grid resource management.

[Topics of Interests]

Topics include, but are not limited to:
+ Autonomic Workflow and Resource Management in Cloud and Grid
+ Autonomous and Adaptive Management of Virtualized Resources
+ High Performance Grid and Cloud
+ Security, Privacy, and Compliance Management for Hybrid Utility Computing
+ Performance and Usage Monitoring in Hybrid Infrastructures
+ Autonomic Resource Discovery and Scheduling in Cloud and Grid
+ Service-based Autonomic Management in Cloud and Grid
+ Hybrid Cloud Resource Provisioning Orchestration
+ Adaptive Resource Provisioning and Adjustment in Grid and Cloud
+ Autonomics in High Performance Cloud Computing
+ Cloud/Grid Workload Profiling and Autonomic Deployment Control
+ Fault tolerance and Reliability in Hybrid Utility Computing
+ Federation, Bridging, and Bursting of Grid and Cloud Resources


[Important Dates]

* Paper submission: June 01, 2015<x-apple-data-detectors://5> (Extended)
* Notification of acceptance: June 14, 2015<x-apple-data-detectors://6>
* Camera-ready paper: July 1, 2015<x-apple-data-detectors://7>
* Workshop: September 21, 2015<x-apple-data-detectors://8>


[Paper Submission Guideline]

Submitted papers must include original work and may not be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal.?Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Papers are limited to 8 pages in standard IEEE proceedings format.?The 8-page PDF format of the paper must be submitted online at the paper submission site before the deadline (May 18th, 2015).

* Extended Paper for Journal Version

Selected papers presented at the AMGCC’15 workshop will be invited to a special issue in the Springer Cluster Computing Journal, indexed by the SCIE, JCR, and SCOPUS rank (http://link.springer.com/journal/10586). In AMGCC’14, ~70% of the presented papers were invited to publish in the journal.
