Call for Papers: Cloud&Grid 2012


Feb. 29 — The 2012 International Workshop on Cloud and Grid Interoperability (Cloud&Grid 2012) will take place in Gwangju, Korea, 6-8 September 2012, in conjunction with NPC-12.

"Cloud" is a common metaphor for an Internet accessible infrastructure, hiding most of the implementation and deployment details in the field of ICT. Cloud computing is becoming a scalable services delivery and consumption platform. The backbone behind cloud computing includes service-oriented architecture (SOA) and virtualization of hardware and software.

The goal of cloud computing is to share resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. Cloud computing has been envisaged to be one of the main stream powering technologies of future ICT and next generation network.

The Cloud&Grid 2012 focus on Interoperability issues of grid and computing domain. It mainly focus on designing interoperable components, experiences and lessons learnt from developing interoperable services in the cloud and grid environment. This workshop aims at providing a forum to bring together researchers for sharing and exchanging cloud and Grid computing related research, technologies, experience, and lessons for building clouds of interoperability and coordination capabilities and services.

We believe this workshop will be a place to help the research community to define their novel ideas in the current state of grid-cloud interoperability issues. In addition the workshop will help to define the future goals and services that cloud needs to support in various intensive commercial and enterprise application.

Paper Submission and Proceeding

There will be a combination of presentations including scientific papers. Prospective authors are invited, in the first instance, to submit papers for oral presentations in any of the areas of interest for this workshop.

Papers must strictly adhere to page limits as follows.

- Full Paper: 8 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost)

- Regular Paper: 6 pages (Max 2 extra pages allowed at additional cost)

- Poster Paper: 2 pages (FTRA Publishing Proceeding with ISBN)

Papers exceeding the page limits will be rejected without review. CLOUD&GRID 2012 submission should be made by system to http://www.editorialsystem.net/cloudgrid2012.

Instructions for papers in the Springer's CCIS (Note that the paper format of CCIS is the same as that of LNCS).

- Prepare your paper in the exact format as the sample paper for CCIS. Failure to do so may result in the exclusion of your paper from the proceedings. Please read the authors' instructions carefully before preparing your papers.

- Springer accepts both Microsoft Word and LaTex format in the Lecture Note Series. However, FTRA does not accept the use of LaTex. Therefore, you should use the Microsoft Word instead of using LaTex (The paper will be excluded from the proceeding if you use LaTex). Springer provides the relevant templates and sample files for both PC (sv-lncs.dot) and Mac (sv-lncs) environments.

- Please download word.zip (http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/word.zip?SGWID=0-0-45-72919-0).

If you need more help on preparing your papers, visit Springer's LNCS web page (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-2-72376-0).

Distinguished papers accepted and presented in Cloud&Grid 2012, after further revisions, will be published in the special issues of the following international journals:

- The Journal of Supercomputing (JoS) - Springer (SCI)

- Cluster Computing (CC) - Springer (SCI-E)

- Human-centric Computing and Information Science (HCIS) - Springer (Open Access)

- International Journal of Information Technology, Communications and Convergence (IJITCC) - Inderscience

- Journal of Convergence (JoC) - FTRA Publishing

Important Dates

- Full paper submission due: March 10, 2012

- Notification of acceptance: April 10, 2012

- Camera-ready paper upload due: May 18, 2012

- Authors registration due: May 18, 2012

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

CERN, Google, and the Future of Global Science Initiatives

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
