IISWC 2008 | |
| Title: | 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2008-03-07 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-03-14 |
| Webpage: | http://www.iiswc.org/iiswc2008/ |
| Dates: | September 14-16, 2008 |
| Location: | Seattle, WA |
| Contact Email: | Brad.Beckmann@amd.com |
| Synopsis: |
| This symposium is dedicated to the understanding and characterization of workloads. New applications and programming paradigms continue to emerge. On the one hand, computing workloads evolve with advances in microarchitecture, compilers, programming languages, and networking/communication technologies. On the other hand, improvements in computing technology are usually based on a solid understanding of existing workloads. Whether they are PDAs, wireless and embedded systems at the low end or massively parallel systems at the high end, the design of future computing machines can be significantly improved if we understand workload characteristics. We solicit papers in all areas related to workload characterization. |
VHPC '08 | |
| Title: | 3rd Workshop on Virtualization in HPC Cluster and Grid Computing Environments |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2008-03-10 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-04-14 |
| Webpage: | http://xhpc.wu-wien.ac.at/ |
| Dates: | August, 26-29, 2008 |
| Location: | Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain |

NEW THIS MONTH! | WISTP'2008 |
| Title: | Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practices 2008: Smart Devices, Convergence and Next Generation Networks |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-03-21 |
| Webpage: | http://wistp2008.xlim.fr/ |
| Dates: | May 13-16, 2008 |
| Location: | Sevilla, Spain |
| Contact Email: | wistp2008sec@xlim.fr |
| Synopsis: |
| See: http://wistp2008.xlim.fr/CFP/CFPosters.txt With the rapid technological development of information technologies and with the transition from the common to the next generation networks, computer systems and especially embedded systems are becoming more mobile and ubiquitous, increasingly interfacing with the physical world. Ensuring the security of these complex and yet, resource constraint systems has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges. Another important challenge is related to the convergence of these new technologies. |
NEW THIS MONTH! | MMCS'08 |
| Title: | Workshop on Managed Multi-core Systems |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-03-31 |
| Webpage: | http://www.cercs.gatech.edu/mmcs08/ |
| Dates: | June 2004, 2008 |
| Location: | Boston, MA (co-lacated with HPDC'08) |
| Contact Email: | dilmasilva@us.ibm.com |
| Synopsis: |
| This workshop will address challenges in managed homogeneous and heterogeneous many-core systems. Current approaches to resource management and virtualization are based on small-scale SMP architectures, and they fall short in terms of high-end scalability and support for heterogeneity and fine-grain parallelism. We aim at assessing new needs and their corresponding approaches, abstractions, and mechanisms for resource management issues such as scheduling, synchronization, caching, power management, and system monitoring. We welcome both technical papers, describing ongoing research and preliminary insights, and position papers introducing and arguing for novel views. |
ACM SenSys 2008 | |
| Title: | The 6th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2008-04-07 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-04-14 |
| Webpage: | http://sensys.acm.org/2008/ |
| Dates: | Nov, 5-7, 2008 |
| Location: | Raleigh, NC, USA |
| Contact Email: | thiemo@sics.se |
| Synopsis: |
| The ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) is a highly selective, single-track forum for research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators enable an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, enabling new generations of monitoring and control applications. SenSys provides an ideal venue to address the challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields including hardware, networking, embedded systems, distributed systems, data management, and applications, so we welcome cross-disciplinary work. |

| The Middleware conference is a forum for the discussion of important innovations and recent advances in the design, construction and uses of middleware. Middleware is distributed-systems software that resides between the applications and the underlying operating systems, network protocol stacks, and hardware. Its primary role is to functionally bridge the gap between application programs and the lower-level hardware and software infrastructure in order to coordinate how application components are connected and how they interoperate. |
