Special Issue: "Sustainable High Performance Computing (SHPC-2015)"
==============================
Note: Publication fees will be waived for accepted papers submitted before September 10, 2015.
** AIMS:
Sustainable high performance computing put dependable and autonomic computing in context. Without self-healing, self-configuration and self-monitoring, a high performance computing application will not be able to complete in extreme scales. Without dependability, high performance computing applications are to suffer rapidly decreasing MTBF (mean time between failures) as we expand the size of computing clusters. Security is another dimension that mission critical high performance applications must take into account, or unintended consequences may cause irreparable harms.
While the above discussion made sense at the conceptual level, current research communities are narrowly divided into specific subareas. In fact, all these topics concern how to handle volatile resources in terms of programming, monitoring, configuration, load distribution/optimization and management. This Special Issue of OJCC aims to bring together contributions from all relevant areas for the benefit of sustainable high performance computing -- the non-lethal large scale typical distributed computing applications. Unlike traditional publications that favor successful novel technologies, this Special Issue of OJCC encourages submissions of credible in-depth stories that may be success or failure in dependable computing, autonomic computing, information security and sustainable high performance computing efforts. In fact, we can learn more from failures than successes. In particular, data intensive distributed computing efforts are highly encouraged since they are more difficult to secure, to practice dependability and be made autonomic-ally computable.
This Special Issue provides a platform for academic architecture researchers, industry practitioners and government agencies to exchange evolving distributed mission critical computing requirements, ideas and preliminary results. As computational services are to become integral parts of human societies, performance, dependability, sustainability and security of these services directly impact future social and economic prosperity. This Special Issue will be a checkpoint of dependable computing, autonomic computing and sustainable HPC efforts. The results may prove to be of fundamentally importance towards the building of 21st century software engineering principles.
