                              CALL FOR PAPERS

                   The First International Workshop on

               MapReduce and its Applications (MAPREDUCE'10)

               June 22nd, 2010 HPDC'2010, Chicago, IL, USA

	          (http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/mapreduce/)

SCOPE

Since its introduction in 2004 by Google, MapReduce has become the
programming model of choice for processing large data sets. MapReduce
borrows from functional programming, where a programmer can define both
a Map task that maps a data set into another data set, and a Reduce task
that combines intermediate outputs into a final result. Although
MapReduce was originally developed for use by web enterprises in large
data-centers, this technique has gained a lot of attention from the
scientific community for its applicability in large parallel data
analysis (including geographic, high energy physics, genomics, etc..).

The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing recent
advances, identifying open issues, introducing developments and tools,
and presenting applications and enhancements for MapReduce (or very
similar) systems. We therefore cordially invite contributions that
investigate these issues, introduce new execution environments, apply
performance evaluations and show the applicability to science and
enterprise applications.
TOPICS OF INTEREST

     * MapReduce implementation issues and improvements
     * Implementation optimization for GPU and multi-core systems
     * Extensions to the programing model
     * Large-scale MapReduce (Grid and Desktop Grid)
     * Use of CDN and P2P techniques
     * Heterogeneity and fault-tolerance
     * Scientific data-sets analysis
     * Data and compute-intensive applications
     * Tools and environments for MapReduce
     * Algorithms using the MapReduce paradigm

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 8 pages, including
all figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM
proceedings style (e.g.,
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submitted
papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under
consideration for another conference or a journal. Accepted papers will
be published by ACM in the conference workshops proceedings.
