NEW THIS MONTH! | CrossCloud Brokers 2014 |
| Title: | Workshop on Cross-cloud Broker Architectures |
| Submission Deadline: | 2014-09-05 |
| Webpage: | http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~elkhatib/crosscloud/ |
| Dates: | December, 2014 |
| Location: | Bordeaux, France |
| Contact Email: | CrossCloudRsrch@gmail.com |
| Synopsis: |
| The CrossCloud workshop series builds upon the increasing relevance of multi-cloud and federated cloud architectures. Application providers adopting such architectures suffer from a massive development and management complexity due to the high degree of distribution and heterogeneity. Cloud brokers facilitate this adoption by outsourcing this complexity. This edition of the workshop focuses on the architecture of such cloud brokering systems, and more specifically the concept of Broker as a Service: How could a broker be provided as an intermediate middleware service to different stakeholders? The objective is to foster a lively discussion about the theory and practice of cloud brokers. |
PPoPP'15 | |
| Title: | 20th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2014-09-05 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2014-09-12 |
| Webpage: | http://ppopp15.soe.ucsc.edu/ |
| Dates: | February 2015 |
| Location: | San Francisco Bay Area |
| Contact Email: | antoniu.pop@manchester.ac.uk |
| Synopsis: |
| PPoPP is the forum for leading work on all aspects of parallel programming, including foundational and theoretical aspects, techniques, languages, compilers, runtime systems, tools, and practical experiences. In the context of the symposium, "parallel programming" encompasses work on concurrent and parallel systems (multicore, multithreaded, heterogeneous, clustered systems, distributed systems, grids, clouds, and large scale machines). Given the rise of parallel architectures into the consumer market (desktops, laptops, and mobile devices), PPoPP is particularly interested in work that addresses new parallel workloads, techniques, and tools that attempt to improve the productivity of parallel programming, and work towards improved synergy with such emerging architectures. |
NEW THIS MONTH! | W. on DB Consistency in the Cloud |
| Title: | WORKSHOP ON DATABASE CONSISTENCY IN THE CLOUD |
| Submission Deadline: | 2014-09-15 |

| Dates: | September, 15-16, 2014 |
| Location: | Paris, France |
| Contact Email: | marc.shapiro@acm.org |
| Synopsis: |
| Consistency is a fundamental issue of distributed computing. Consistency models are hard to understand, with subtle trade-offs between fault tolerance, performance, and programmability, especially with a large number of processes, with a large shared database, and in the presence of high latency and failure-prone networks. There is no one universally best solution. To better understand the solution space, you are invited to an open Workshop on Database Consistency in the Cloud. The invited speakers are among the best experts in Europe and in the world. |

| Title: | Mark Weiser Award, PRObE, EuroSys jobs page |
| Summary: |
==================================================== CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: ACM SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award ==================================================== The Mark Weiser Award was created in 2001 by ACM SIGOPS, to be given to an individual who has demonstrated creativity and innovation in operating systems research. The recipient must have begun his or her career no earlier than 20 years prior to nomination. The award is named in honor of Mark Weiser, a computing visionary recognized for his research accomplishments during his career at Xerox PARC. ACM SIGOPS will present a $1000 prize to the recipient, in memory of Mark and his many contributions to SIGOPS and the operating systems community. The award will be given annually at SOSP and OSDI. The selection committee will choose the recipient based on: "contributions that are highly creative, innovative, and possibly high-risk, in keeping with the visionary spirit of Mark Weiser." Nominations are due August 1st, 2014. Please see http://www.sigops.org/award-weiser.html for detailed nomination procedures, a list of previous award winners, and a list of award-committee members. =================================================================== Call for Proposals: Availability of 1000 Nodes for Systems Research Experiments =================================================================== NSF's PRObE (www.nmc-probe.org) operates four clusters to support systems research at scale. The largest is Kodiak (https://www.nmc-probe.org/wiki/Machines:Kodiak), which is 1000 nodes (two core x86, 8GB DRAM, two 1TB disks, 1GE and 8Gbps IB) donated by Los Alamos National Laboratory. Today Kodiak is hosting researchers from Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon and Los Alamos. Princeton researchers have published results from Kodiak at the most recent NSDI (Wyatt Lloyd, "Stronger Semantics for Low-Latency Geo-Replicated Storage", NSDI 2013). On PRObE staging clusters are researchers from U Central Florida, UT Austin, Georgia Tech and Carnegie Mellon. PRObE resources are intended for (infrastructure) systems researchers committed to public release of their research results, typically publishing in distributed systems (eg. OSDI or SOSP), cloud computing (e.g. SOCC), supercomputing (e.g. SC or HPDC), storage (e.g. FAST), or networking (e.g. NSDI). PRObE resources are managed by Emulab (www.emulab.org) a cluster manager for allocating physical nodes that has been in use for systems research for over a decade (Brian White, "An Experimental Environment for Distributed Systems and Networks," OSDI 2002). Users start by porting and demonstrating their code on a 100-node staging cluster such as Denali built from the same equipment donation from Los Alamos. With demonstrated success on a staging cluster, and a compelling research goal, Kodiak can be requested and allocated, possibly exclusively, for hours to days. To start using PRObE resources: - visit www.nmc-probe.org to learn about the resources - visit portal.nmc-probe.org to request a PRObE-specific Emulab account - have a research leader or faculty member get an account and define a project on portal.nmc-probe.org - use Portal to get onto Denali, to allocate a single node experiment, login into that node to customize and resave the OS image for your project, then launch a multi-node experiment to demonstrate your system at less than 100 node scale - use https://www.nmc-probe.org/request/ to request a large allocation on Kodiak (this is a HotCRP paper review web site, where your paper is a short justification for your research, your preparedness for using Kodiak, and your credientials and appropriateness for using NSF resources) - PRObE managers will review, approve and schedule your use of large allocations of Kodiak time In a matter of weeks another style of large PRObE resource will come online. Susitna is 34 nodes of 64 core x86 processors, for a total of more than 2000 x86 cores. Susitna also has NVidia donated K20 GPU coprocessors with 2496 cuda cores each, for a total of 84,864 cuda cores. With 128 GB DRAM, a hard disk and an SSD each, Susitna nodes are interconnected by 40Gbps ethernet, 40 Gbps infiniband and 1Gbps ethernet. NSF PRObE resources will be available for at least the next two years. All uses of PRObE resources are obligated to publish their results, either in conferences or one their web sites, and acknowledge NSF PRObE resources used in these publications. See also our PRObE introduction article in the June 2013 USENIX ;login: vol 38, no 3, 2013 (www.cs.cmu.edu/~garth/papers/07_gibson_036-039_final.pdf). ================================================================= The EuroSys jobs page: A resource for the whole systems community ================================================================= If you are searching for a position in the Systems area, take a look at http://jobs.eurosys.org/ New announcements are posted every day, in several categories: internships, PhD grants and doctoral programs, post-docs and permanent positions. If you want to advertise for systems people, go to http://jobs.eurosys.org/, and click on the appropriate "Advertise" link. YOu will be asked to fill in a small form, with a 10-word description of the job offer, the URL of your lab and the URL of a more detailed advertisement. The EuroSys jobs page gets around 10,000 hits a month. |
