by Sill, Alan 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Dear OGF colleagues, OGF will once again be a co-sponsor of this workshop, which is the second in the series kicked off last year. Please see the announcement and call for papers below. Alan ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Alan, Would you send CFP for AMGCC14 to OGF mailing list? I appreciate your help. Regards, Yoonhee -- Yoonhee Kim, Ph.D Professor Dept. of Computer Science Sookmyung Women's University tel: +82-2-710-9664. fax:82-303-0801-1120 ------------------------------------------------------------- < Call for Paper > The 2nd International Workshop on Autonomic Management of high performance Grid and Cloud Computing - AMGCC’14 Co-located with the Cloud and Autonomic Computing Conference 2014 (CAC 2014), Imperial College, London, UK -- September 12, 2014 AMGCC’14 (http://htcaas.kisti.re.kr/wiki/index.php/AMGCC14) workshop will be held in London on September 12, 2014, in conjunction with the International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (CAC 2014) (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: April 20, 2014 ● Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2014 ● Camera-ready paper: May 25, 2014 ● Workshop: September 12, 2014 Paper Submission Guideline --------------------------- Submitted papers must include original work and may not be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal.

Call for Participation in the OGF NomCom
by OGF NomCom 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Dear OGF Community, as of OGF-40 in Oxford, UK, OGF has instantiated a new Nominations Committee in order to fill several open leadership positions. The NomCom was also tasked to perform a review of the current OGF management and operational structure, and to propose adaptations as needed. All members of the community are invited to participate in the NomCom itself. While prior knowledge of the current OGF structure is an advantage, we also welcome feedback and insights with a more unbiased background! We expect the current NomCom process to last about 3 months, with approximately two to three calls per month, and some moderate number of additional hours inbetween calls. There is one caveat attached: participating in NomCom excludes you from being eligible for any of the open positions. If you are interested in participating in the NomCom process, please send an informal email to nomcom(a)ogf.org. With best regards, Andre Merzky.

OGF news, OGF NomCom and Fwd: SC14 Workshop Proposals due February 7th
by Sill, Alan 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

Dear OGF community, We had a terrific set of meetings over the three days of OGF 40 and associated meetings of the IGTF EUGridPMA and SCI working groups and EGI Federated Cloud that were co-located in Oxford or nearby in Abingdon Jan. 15-18. Much progress was made by all of the working groups that met there, and much benefit from the associated co-location. We expect to organize working group meetings also at the XSEDE 2014 conference and will be in touch with you about other meeting locations that have been discussed. The NSI-WG in particular will be looking for opportunities to take its newly completed work now in public comment into implementation and will be organizing sessions and engagement opportunities, we understand, at different conferences. The OCCI, GLUE and BES groups also continue to be very involved in implementation work and we are considering possible changes to the organization of OGF and its activities to further support such implementations in an even stronger way. To this end, please take note of the call for workshops at SuperComputing 2014, which is nearing its final deadline for proposals next week Friday, Feb. 7 2014. If you are doing work within OGF that needs to be exposed to a broad community for input and/or adoption, or if you are doing interesting work of any kind that would be appropriate for a workshop at SC'14, we hope you will respond. Please also feel free to call to our attention other opportunities of this kind to get our work (your work) into public view and to help people adopt and take appropriate advantage of your results. OGF will be happy to consider requests for co-locaing meetings and/or scheduling workshops (such as the successful Cloud Plugfest series) at conferences, or for hosting a stand-alone OGF meeting at your institution. Please contact me, Andre or the OGF Board chaired by Andrew Grimshaw or any member of the Grid Forum Steering Group with your suggestions and ideas. Finally, OGF has also formed a new Nominating Committee (NomCom) chaired by Andre Merzky with the charge to communicate with all of the current Area Directors and GFSG members, find places in which open positions now exist or may exist in the near future, make suggestions to the OGF Board for replacements and generally to make suggestions for improvement and tuning of the OGF community, research and working group structure. Please communicate with Andre at merzky dot net if you have any questions or would like to serve on the nominating committee.

Each workshop submission will be peer-reviewed with a focus on submissions that will inspire deep and interactive ideas in a variety of HPC topics. Workshops are an integral part in supporting the SC's technical program. We look forward to a new SC with the latest workshops available from our HPC community.
