HPDC 2011 - Call for Workshops
http://www.hpdc.org/2011/
The ACM Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC)
conference organizers invite proposals for Workshops to be held with HPDC
in San Jose, California in June 2011. Workshops will run on June 8,
preceding the main conference sessions June 9-11.
HPDC 2011 is the 20th anniversary of HPDC, a preeminent conference in high
performance computing, including cloud and grid computing. This year's
conference will be held in conjunction with the Federated Computing
Research Conference (FCRC), which includes high profile conferences in
complementary research areas, providing a unique opportunity for a broader
technical audience and wider impact for successful workshops.
Workshops provide forums for discussion among researchers and
practitioners on focused topics, emerging research areas, or both.
Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, possibly including
invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, fully
peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. Workshops could be scheduled
for a half day or a full day, depending on interest, space constraints,
and organizer preference. Organizers should design workshops for
approximately 20-40 participants, to balance impact and effective
discussion.
A workshop proposal must be made in writing, sent to Mike Lewis at
mlewis at cs.binghamton.edu, and should include:
* The name of the workshop
* Several paragraphs describing the theme of the workshop and how it
relates to the HPDC conference
* Data about previous offerings of the workshop (if any), including
attendance, number of papers, or presentations submitted and accepted
* Names and affiliations of the workshop organizers, and if applicable, a
significant portion of the program committee
* A plan for attracting submissions and attendees
