ACM Symposium on Applied Computing-SAC 2006

CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------
A special track on Distributed Systems and Grid Computing will be held in ACM SAC'06. This track aims to be a forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners in academia, industry and research institutes to share technical ideas, experiences and results and to present their latest findings in any aspects of Distributed Systems and Grid Computing. The DSGC track will emphasize the design, architecture and software of parallel/distributed systems and Grid computing with their scientific and engineering applications.
Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate current research in all areas of parallel/distributed systems and Grid computing.
The track solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Software environments, middleware, compilers, and programming language
support for distributed systems and Grid computing
- Parallel and distributed architectures
- Parallel and distributed algorithms
- Optimizing compilers for high-performance computing
- High performance Java
- Load sharing and balancing
- Task mapping and job scheduling
- Resource allocation and management
- Architecture and operating system support for parallel systems
- Supercomputing applications
- Scalable servers
- Application studies using distributed systems and Grid computing
- Clusters
- Data Grids
- Peer to Peer (desktop PC Grids)
- High performance I/O and file systems
- Security, reliability, configuration, policy, and management issues in Grids
- Performance analysis, modeling, simulation, and prediction
- Design or use of commercial Grid systems
Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be considered.
This includes three categories of submissions: 1) original and unpublished research;
2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences, engineering, business, government, education and industry; and 3) reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a blind review process by at least three referees.
Accepted
papers in all categories will be published in the ACM SAC'06 proceedings.
Submit your paper electronically to http://www.cslab.ece.ntua.gr/sac06-dsgc in PDF or postscript (see the track web page for details). The author(s) name(s) and
address(es) must not appear in any cover page or in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review.
Because the review process is blind, authors' names and affiliations should appear only on the electronic submission form. The final version (camera-ready) of the accepted papers should be submitted in PDF format so that they can be included in the proceedings as well as in the ACM Digital Library.
