Final Call for Papers : Autonomic Clouds 2013, Dresden, Germany- Deadline September 10, 2013
by Ashiq Anjum 04 Sep '13

04 Sep '13

The 3rd International Workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2013) http://www.derby.ac.uk/computing/itaac2013 In association with The 6th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2013), December 9-12, 2013, Dresden, Germany Call for Papers Autonomic computing refers to principles and techniques for designing, building, deploying and managing computing systems with minimal human involvement. An autonomic system should be capable of adapting its behaviour to suit its context of use through methods of self-management, self-tuning, self-configuration, self-diagnosis, and self-healing. Autonomic approaches are particularly suitable for use in Cloud Computing systems, where rapid scalability is required across a pool of resources to support various unpredictable demands, and where the system should automatically adapt to avoid failures in the underlying hardware impacting on the user experience. Autonomic Clouds emerge as a result of applying autonomic computing techniques to Cloud Computing, resulting into robust, fault tolerant and easy to manage and operate cloud architectures and deployments. The application of intelligent approaches to Autonomic Clouds is gaining prominence in research and industry. Such intelligent approaches include evolutionary techniques, multi-objective and combinational optimization heuristics, genetic algorithms, neural networks, swarm intelligence, and multi-agents systems. Application of these intelligent approaches to Clouds can improve how computing systems and applications are built, used, managed and optimized, maximizing the benefits for users, applications and systems by reducing the operational, maintenance and usage costs of clouds. The interplay of intelligent approaches and Clouds offers numerous challenges. The international workshop on Intelligent Techniques and Architectures for Autonomic Clouds (ITAAC 2013) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners across Cloud Computing, Intelligent Systems, and Autonomic Computing to discuss issues at the intersection of these disciplines. Key questions to be addressed include: How do emerging cloud architectures satisfy or contradict the vision of autonomic computing? How does the vision of autonomic computing satisfy the vision of self managing and self healing clouds? How do contemporary and emerging intelligent techniques support and enable both of these? Academics, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original work on the theory and practice of intelligent and autonomic clouds. Key topics Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Theory and foundations of Intelligent Clouds * Quality of Service and Intelligent Clouds * (auto)scaling of Clouds * Self-organizing, self-healing and self-managing Cloud systems * Intelligent deployment, configuration and maintenance approaches for Clouds * Agent based techniques for Clouds * Adaptive and Evolutionary Approaches for Clouds * Intelligent Cloud Workflows, Planning and Scheduling * Intelligent Cloud Resource Management and Discovery in Clouds * Autonomic Clouds of Sensors * Intelligent Management and Monitoring for Clouds * Intelligent approaches to Cloud Service Level Agreement satisfaction * Applications, Toolkits and frameworks for Intelligent and Autonomic Clouds * Advances in Intelligent Data Analysis due to Clouds Submissions that offer position statements, theoretical and industrial perspectives, lessons learned, comparisons, evaluations and technical contributions to intelligent autonomic clouds are also welcome.

Call for Papers: IEEE Transaction on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on *Big Data**.* CFP Website: http://www.swinflow.org/si/BigDataCFP.htm. Big Data consists of datasets that grow so large that they become awkward to work with using on-hand computer data and computation management tools. Difficulties include, but are not limited to, capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics, and visualizing. Working with data sets of increasing scale allows analysts to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, and combat crime." Big data size is beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time, hence demanding new innovative solutions. It has attracted a high degree of interdisciplinary interest internationally. This special issue is focusing on this new strategic research area to address challenges about big data. Original andunpublished high-quality research results are solicited to explore various challenging topics that include, but are not limited to: · Big Data theoretical models, standards and theories · Innovative computer software and hardware architecture for Big Data processing · Big Data mining, advanced analytics and visualization · Large big data stream processing · Large-scale incremental, distributed and federated datasets · NoSQL data stores and DB scalability · Big Data sharing and privacy preserving · Big Data placement, scheduling, and optimization · MapReduce and new programming models for Big Data processing · Cloud Computing, cluster and high performance computing and storage infrastructure for Big Data · Performance characterization, evaluation and optimization · Simulation and debugging of Big Data systems and tools · Security, privacy, reliability and trust in Big Data · Volume, Velocity, Variety and Value of Big Data · Multiple source data processing and integration for Big Data · Resource scheduling and Service Level Agreement for Big Data processing · Distributed file systems, storage and computation management for Big Data · Large-scale scientific workflow in support of Big Data processing · Big data applications such as Medicine, Healthcare, Finance, Business, Retailing, Transportation and Science. Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

Selected papers will be recommended to special issues of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience; Journal of Network and Computer Applications, Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, Journal of Systems and Software, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, and IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing (special issue on Big Data). ------------ Introduction Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value). Various technologies are being discussed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud computing platforms, and MapReduce. Distributed systems is a classical research discipline investigating various distributed computing technologies and applications such as cloud computing and MapReduce. With new paradigms and technolog! ies, distributed systems research keeps going with new innovative outcomes from both industry and academia. For example, wide deployment of MapReduce is a distributed programming paradigm and an associated implementation to support distributed computing over large datasets on cloud. BDSE (Big Data Science and Engineering) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data, Distributed Systems and broadly related areas.
