During the past 14 years SYNASC (http://synasc13.info.uvt.ro)
has built a strong nucleus of researchers which gather every year to
discuss their ongoing research. The multidisciplinary nature of the
conference brings together people from various computer science areas,
including symbolic computing, numerical analysis, multi-agent systems,
nature inspired processing and distributed/parallel computing. All these
are hot topics in computer science and provide the attendees with the
chance of uncovering interdisciplinary research ideas and concrete use
cases for their work.
Among them, distributed computing, with an increasing interest in clouds and HPC on clouds, is in the unique position of being at the center of the scene. It allows researchers from various fields to extend their experiments and test their ideas on large scale infrastructures. In this frame the Distributed Computing track is a great opportunity for scientists working on topics related to clouds, grids, P2P, Internet of things or distributed systems in general to present their work, discover new challenges and find real use cases and applications for their research. With the global focus leaning towards (inter)cloud and utility computing researchers start to feel the benefit of these systems too. However we believe there is much to be done before existing applications from other fields can be fully ported on these new platforms. SYNASC and the Distributed Computing track is therefore a great opportunity for addressing the interdisciplinary applicability of distributed system
s. We invite both researchers and practitioners to submit their work and join us in addressing these challenges.
Work-in-progress and mature research papers in the following non-exhaustive areas are welcomed:
- parallel and distributed algorithms for clouds, GPUs, HPC, P2P systems, autonomous systems. Work should focus on scheduling, scaling, load balancing, networks, fault-tolerance, gossip algorithms, energy saving;
- applications for parallel and distributed systems, including work on cross disciplinary (scientific) applications for grids/clouds, web applications, workflow platforms, network measurement tools, programming environments;
- architectures for parallel and distributed systems, including self-managing and autonomous systems, negotiation protocols, HPC on clouds, GPU processing, PaaS for (inter)cloud, brokering platforms, mobile computing;
- modelling of parallel and distributed systems including models on resources and networks, semantic representation, negotiation, social networks, trace management, simulators;
- any other topic deemed relevant to the field.
Important conference dates:
07 April 2013 : Special sessions / Workshops / Tutorials proposals
19 May 2013 : Abstract submission
26 May 2013 : Paper submission
22 July 2013 : Notification of acceptance
01 September 2013 : Registration
08 September 2013 : Revised papers according to the reviews
23-26 September 2013 : Symposium
30 November 2013 : Final papers for post-proceedings
Paper submission should not exceed 8 IEEE double column format and should be submitted using the electronic EasyChair system (http://www.easychair.org/
Prospective authors must demonstrate their intention of presenting their work by first submitting a 1/2 page abstract clearly indicating the main purpose and contributions of their paper.
A special issue for the distributed track is planned to be published with the Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience Journal. SCPE is a quarterly open access journal indexed in Scopus, DBLP, DOAJ and EBSCO. The journal is currently under ISI Thomson review. More information about it can be found at http://www.scpe.org/ .
