Call for Papers
The 5th International Workshop on Data Center Performance (DCPerf’15)
at
The 35th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'15)
Columbus, Ohio, USA
June 29 - July 2, 2015
http://www.zurich.ibm.com/
Scope:
Data centers have become an integral part of the backbone infrastructure for
information technology. In particular, they provide a cost efficient solution
for provisioning a wide range of computing resources in diverse environments
such as business, scientific, and mobile. Due to the rapid growth of user-defined
and user-generated programs, applications and content, the complexity of deploying
and operating data centers continues to increase. Considering the high volume of
mixed workloads, the diversity of services offered, and the increasing mobility
of users across geographically distributed areas, the performance optimization of
data centers has become ever more necessary and challenging, especially in view
of criteria such as scalability, reliability, manageability, power efficiency,
area density, and operating costs.
The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion to find and
identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable data center
performance optimizations. We are looking for papers that present new techniques,
introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss strategies
for resolving open performance problems of data centers.
Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
System performance
- Hardware & software architecture
- Resource management & middleware
- Evaluation / modeling methodologies
- Empirical studies
Communication performance
- Intra- / inter-DC communication
- Open-flow based networks
- DC network architecture & protocols
Storage and I/O performance
- Storage architecture
- I/O scalability and performance
DC power and thermal issues
- Power and thermal modeling
- Power-constrained performance
Security and robustness
- Performance of security solutions
- Intrusion & misconfiguration monitoring
- Variability & reliability modeling
Virtualization and cloud computing
- Hypervisors & HW virtualization support
- Virtualized networking and storage
- Outsourcing issues
- Cloud scalability and management
Performance of DC applications
- Cloud computing
- Content distribution
- Hadoop applications
- Real-time analytics
Submission info for camera-ready manuscripts:
Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5"×11" double-column format.
Accepted papers will be published in the combined ICDCS 2015 workshop
proceedings and will be available through IEEE Xplore. Manuscripts should be
submitted to:
