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 IMPORTANT DATES: Workshop Proposal Deadline: October 1, 2010 Workshop Notification: October 25, 2010 Workshop Calls Online: November 8, 2010
