Special Session of the 23rd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing (PDP 2015)

E-INFRASTRUCTURES FOR HYDRO METEOROLOGICAL RESEARCH (EINFRA4HMR)
*************************************************************

Turku, Finland, March 4-6, 2015

Special Session of the 23rd Euromicro International Conference on
Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing (PDP 2015)

http://www.pdp2015.org/

**********************************************************************
GENERAL SCOPE

The design and implementation of e-infrastructures for
Hydro-Meteorological Research (HMR) and for Civil Protection
applications require solving a number of problems that are concerned
with multidisciplinary and interoperability issues. At the heart of this
challenge lies the ability to have easy access to forecasting model and
data components, assembling them according to recognized standards and
facilitating collaboration between the Hydro-Meteorological (HM) and ICT
communities. This is of particular importance because ICT methodologies
and tools are often aimed at satisfying general needs resulting in a gap
between specific HM modeling chain requirements and available tools. The
goal is to relieve HM scientists from the burden of time-consuming
activities as to install and optimize legacy forecast models that have
been developed by such heterogeneous scientific community, to access and
prepare the necessary data to run the models, to select the executable
resources and monitor the simulation and to retrieve results, allowing
them to focus mainly on how to improve the forecasts.

The aim of this special session is to bring together HM and ICT
researchers ? and in perspective the Climate modeling community - in
order to present and discuss solutions for this applicative scenario.

**********************************************************************
TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-- data access, management and exchange among heterogeneous HMR models
-- data base solutions for store, access and retrieve HMR data
-- set up, management and validation of complex HMR workflows on
distributed infrastructures
-- HPC, Grid and Cloud experience in HMR
-- set up and management of e-Infrastructures for HMR
-- science gateway for HMR
-- advanced and user friendly interfaces to manage HMR forecasting
simulations
-- advanced remote visualization solutions for HMR simulation results
-- simple services for citizen scientists interested in HM

This is the first edition of the special session, and it is supported by
the DRIHM (http://www.drihm.eu) and DRIHM2US (http://www.drihm2us.eu)
projects.


**********************************************************************
PAPER SUBMISSION

Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in
the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt)
to the Special Session through the EasyChair conference submission
system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2015) with an
indication of the name of the Special Session.

Double-bind review: the paper should not contain authors names and
affiliations; in the reference list, references to the authors' own work
entries should be substituted with the string "omitted for blind review".


**********************************************************************
PUBLICATION

Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present their
papers at the Conference.

All accepted papers will be included in the same volume, published by
the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS).
Conference proceedings will be indexed, among others, by IEEE explore,
DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.

Selected high-quality papers from the session related to the use of Grid
and Cloud technologies will be considered for a SPECIAL ISSUE of the
Journal of Grid Computing (ISI IF 1.603) .
