CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================= 3rd Workshop on Scalable Computing in Distributed Systems (SCoDiS'14) and 8th Workshop on Large Scale Computations on Grids (LaSCoG'14) Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014 WWW: http://fedcsis.org/scodis-lascog E-mail: scodis-lascog2014@fedcsis.org We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing a paper to LaSCoG-SCoDiS'14 - held as a part of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2014). The LaSCoG-SCoDiS'14 pair of events shares a joint Program Committee and is envisioned as a forum to promote an exchange of ideas and results aimed at addressing sophisticated issues that arise in developing large-scale applications running on heterogeneous distributed systems. TOPICS ======================================= Covered topics include (but are not limited to): - Large-scale algorithms and applications - Symbolic and numeric computations - High performance computations for large scale simulations - Large-scale distributed computations - Agent-based computing - Data models for large-scale applications - Security issues for large-scale computations - Science portals - Data visualization - Performance analysis, evaluation and prediction - Programming models - Peer-to-peer models and services for scalable Grids - Collaborative science applications - Business applications - Data-intensive applications - Operations on large-scale distributed databases - On-demand computing - Computation as a service - Federation of compute capacity - Virtualization supporting computations - Self-adaptive computational / storage systems - Volunteer computing - Large scale computation with GPU - Cloud computing architectures and models - Load Balancing in large-scale distributed systems - Intelligent resource allocation - Cloud Security, Privacy, Confidentiality and Compliance - Mobile Cloud - High Performance Cloud Computing - Green Cloud Computing - Economic, Business and ROI Models for Cloud Computing - Performance, Capacity Management and Monitoring of Cloud Configuration - Cloud Interoperability and Portability - Cloud Application Scalability and Availability - Big Data Cloud Service PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ======================================= Papers should be submitted by April 11, 2014. Preprints will be published on a USB memory stick given to FedCSIS participants. Papers presented during the conference will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library proceedings, and posted at the conference WWW site. The IEEE proceedings will be published under an ISBN and ISSN numbers (and an IEEE Catalog number), under a nonexclusive copyright. Since 2012, Proceedings of the FedCSIS conference are indexed in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science. Moreover, extended versions of selected papers presented during the conference will be published as Special Issue(s) of: - Scalable Computing; Practice and Experience journal - other journal(s) to be announced later.
