Call for participation and lightning talks: DataCloud-2015@SC15, The 6th International Workshop on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds

DataCloud-2015: The 6th International Workshop on Data Intensive Computing in the Clouds

in conjunction with SC'15 in Austin, TX on Nov. 15th.

http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/DataCloud2015/index.html

Applications and experiments in all areas of science and engineering are becoming increasingly complex and more demanding in terms of their computational and data requirements. Some applications generate data volumes reaching hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes. Analyzing, visualizing, and disseminating these large data sets has become a major challenge.

This year's DataCloud workshop will be a special one, which will feature all invited talks from both academia and industry with a focused topic: data analysis infrastructure and use cases at large scale. The topics will cover following aspects:

• Large-scale data analytics workload characteristics and challenges
• New programming models for data-intensive cloud computing
• Scalability issues in data analysis in the clouds
• Large-scale data analysis pipelines.
• Big data management system
• Performance evaluation of data clouds and data centers
• Data-aware resource management and scheduling in the clouds or data centers.
• Case study of large-scale data analytics in specific scientific or engineering applications

Currently confirmed talks include:

Keynote: Why would you NOT use public clouds for your big compute workloads?

Rob Futrick (Cycle Computing)

Scientific Computing Meets Big Data Technology: An Astronomy Use Case

Zhao Zhang (AMPLab, UC Berkeley)

Data Pipelines at Google

Dan Dennison (Google Inc.)

Pegasus WMS - Optimizing Data Flows in Scientific Workflow

Gideon Juve (ISI, University of Southern California)

Analyzing CMS Data on 10K Cores with Lobster and Work Queue

Douglas Thain (University of Notre Dame)

Driving Performance Improvements at Orbitz with Real Time Data Analytics

Wai Gen Yee (Orbitz Worldwide, Inc)
