Due to many requests, we decided to extend the submission

deadline to ** 2006-08-14 **

 

===============================================================

CALL FOR PAPERS (XHPC'06)

 

Workshop on XEN in High-Performance Cluster and Grid Computing

Environments as part of:

 

The Fourth International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed

Processing and Applications (ISPA'2006). Sorrento, Italy

===============================================================

 

Date: 1-4 December 2006

 

ISPA'2006:  http://www.ispa-conference.org/2006/

Workshop URL: http://xhpc.ai.wu-wien.ac.at/ws/

 

** NEW DUE DATE: August 14 **

 

 

Scope:

The Xen virtual machine monitor is reaching wide-spread adoption

in a variety of operating systems as well as scientific educational

and operational usage areas. With its low overhead, Xen allows for

concurrently running large numbers of virtual machines, providing

each encapsulation, isolation and network-wide CPU migratability.

Xen offers a network-wide abstraction layer of individual machine

resources to OS environments, thereby opening whole new cluster-and

grid high-performance computing (HPC) architectures and HPC services

options. With Xen finding applications in HPC environments, this

workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners active

on Xen in high-performance cluster and grid computing environments.

 

The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper

presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections.

Presentations may be accompanied with interactive demonstrations.

The workshop will end with a 30 min panel discussion by presenters.

 

 

TOPICS

 

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following subject matters:

 

   - Xen in cluster and grid environments

   - Workload characterizations for Xen-based clusters

   - Xen cluster and grid architectures

   - Cluster reliability, fault-tolerance, and security

   - Compute job entry and scheduling

   - Compute workload load levelling

   - Cluster and grid filesystems for Xen

   - Research and education use cases

   - VM cluster distribution algorithms

   - MPI, PVM  on virtual machines

   - System sizing

   - High-speed interconnects in Xen

   - Xen extensions and utilities for cluster and grid computing

   - Network architectures for Xen clusters

   - Xen on large SMP machines

   - Measuring performance

   - Performance tuning of Xen domains

   - Xen performance tuning on various load types

   - Xen cluster/grid tools

   - Management of Xen clusters

 

 

PAPER SUBMISSION

 

Papers submitted to each workshop will be reviewed by at least three

members of the program committee and external reviewers. Submissions

should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the

corresponding author, and must not exceed 15 pages, including tables

and figures, and preferably be in LaTeX or FrameMaker, although

submissions in the LNCS Word format will be accepted as well.

Electronic submission through the submission website is strongly

encouraged. Hardcopies will be accepted only if electronic submission

is not possible. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a

commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the

authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.

An award for best student paper will be given.

Format should be according to the Springer LNCS Style

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

 

It is expected that the proceedings of the workshop programs will

be published by Springer's LNCS series or IEEE CS.
