Hi all,

 

Please consider submit= ting to the:

 

The Fourth IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2011), sponsored by the I= EEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC).

 

Objective and Focus: <= o:p>

 

The objective of the F= ourth IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2011), sponsored by = the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC), is = to highlight and showcase real-world problem solving using computing that scal= es.

 

Effective solutions to= many scientific problems require applications that can scale. There are differen= t dimensions to application scaling: for example, applications can scale-up t= o large number of cores or compute units, scale-out to utilize multiple disti= nct compute units, or scale-down to release resources that are no longer needed= . In order to scale, applications need the support of tools, middleware, infrastructure, programming systems, etc. SCALE is concerned with advances = in application development and supporting infrastructure that enable scaling.<= o:p>

 

Call for Proposals:

 

The Fourth IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2011) contest will focus = on end-to-end problem solving using concepts, technologies and architectures (including Clusters, Grids and Clouds) that facilitate scaling. Participant= s in the challenge will be expected to identify significant current real-world problems where scalable computing techniques can be effectively used, and design, implement, evaluate and demonstrate solutions. SCALE2011 will be he= ld in conjunction with the 11th CCGrid Conference in Newport Beach, California, USA on 23= -26 May, 2011.

 

 

We invite teams to sub= mit white papers outlining the problem addressed and the technologies employed = to enable applications to scale. White papers should be up to 4 pages long, 12= -pt. font and single column, and in addition to listing team members and contact information, should clearly outline:

 

1. The problem being s= olved and the technology employed

 

2. The application sce= nario and its requirements

 

3. Performance data an= d a qualitative description of how the application scales -- scale-up, scale-ou= t or any other type of scaling

 

4. The solution -- architecture, underlying concepts and technologies used -- highlighting the innovative aspects of the solution

 

5. Impact of the solut= ion, including extensibility and uniqueness of results, and the extent to which = the presented solution pushes the envelope in scalable computing

 

6. Analysis of solutio= n and technology employed compared to related approaches=

 

In addition to the abo= ve, finalists will be judged on the quality of their presentation, which shall include a 5-minute demonstration, as well as their responses to questions, = by a technical committee.

 

 

Papers will be shortli= sted using the above 6 points as merit criteria, and up to 6 papers will be invi= ted to compete in a final round at CCGrid 2011. Selected teams will receive an award of up to $1000 to help with travel to the conference. At least one me= mber from each selected team will be expected to present and demonstrate their project at CCGrid 2011.  Participation from students and young researchers, especially in leadership roles, is strongly encouraged.
