IEEE/ACM 2011 First International Workshop on
Intercloud Federation and Convergence, Cloud and Grid
Newport Beach, California, May 23 – 26,
2011
in
conjunction with The 11th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Cluster, Cloud, and Grid Computing (CCGrid2011)
DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS EXTENDED
Call for Papers
Advances
in processing, communication and systems/middleware technologies are leading to
new paradigms and platforms for computing, ranging from Private Clouds, to
Public Clouds, to Grids. The programming models which are used for Grids, are not well implemented on Clouds, and the modes of
use for Clouds, are not well suited for Grids. Although there is some
Federation and Interoperability in the Grid community, these have yet to widely
emerge in the Cloud Computing space. Some point to point application or gateway
specific Private to Public cloud connectivity schemes has emerged. Public Cloud
operators are beginning to develop some general purpose, multi-cloud
interoperability, known as Intercloud.
Areas of Interest
It is
widely believed that the whole space of Clouds, Grids, and the Intercloud will federate and eventually converge. In many
cases lessons in interoperability and federation from the Grid community are
not being leveraged in Cloud scenarios. Learnings
from Clouds are not publicized in the Grid community. This workshop focuses on
techniques, experiences and lessons learned in all directions, for
interoperable services in Clouds, Grids, and the Intercloud.
This workshop aims at providing a forum to bring together researchers for
sharing and exchanging Cloud and Grid computing related research, technologies,
experience, and lessons for building Clouds and Grids with federated and
interoperable capabilities and services. Topics of interest include:
· Theory, frameworks, methodologies, architecture for Cloud and Grid Federation
· Cloud and Grid Federation and Interoperability Protocols
· Theory, frameworks, methodologies, architecture for Intercloud
· Experimental Results of Internet Distributed Multi-Cloud Coordination and Interoperability
· Semantic Web Services Definitions for Clouds and Grids
· Management of Federation and Interoperability of Clouds and Grids
· Federated and Interoperable Cloud and Grid Security and Trust
· Cloud and Grid Federation governance and regulatory issues
· Traffic and load balancing across Federated and Interoperable Clouds and Grids
· QoS/SLA in Federated and Interoperable Clouds and Grids
· Converged Implementations of Clouds and Grids
· Grid API implementation on Clouds
· High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques on Clouds
· Re-use of Grid Federation protocols and Techniques for Intercloud or Private/Public Cloud
· Federated and Interoperable Cloud and Grid Testbeds
· Management operations, discovery, configuration, provisioning in Federated and Interoperable Clouds and Grids
· Multi-Cloud/Multi-Grid Management Theory, frameworks, methodologies, architecture
· Geo-balancing in Federated and Interoperable Clouds and Grids
· Common Programming Models across Clouds and Grids
· Compliance, Reference
Definitions and Semantics, for Clouds and Grids
We
welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position
papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being
discussed in standard forums or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing
the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics. We also will
consider short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.
Submission Guidelines
Submitted
manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed 10
letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using the
IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm)
wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with columns 3-1/16
inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them,
single-spaced 10-point Times fully justified text). Submissions not conforming
to these guidelines may be returned without review. Authors should submit the
manuscript in PDF format and make sure that the file will print on a printer
that uses letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. The IEEE templates for submissions are
available for download here.
The official language of the meeting is English. All manuscripts will be
reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and
relevance to the conference attendees. Each submission will be reviewed by at
least three members of the International Program Committee.
Submitted
papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under
review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these
guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken,
including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the
institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions
received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately
structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the conference PC
Chair for more information. Accepted papers will be included in the CCGrid 2011 Conference proceedings and appear in IEEE Xplorer™ digital library.
Papers
should be submitted electronically (PDF) via the EasyChair
submission system at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=intercloudgrid11
