ICAC'14 | |
| Title: | 11th International Conference on Autonomic Computing |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2014-02-26 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2014-03-05 |

| Synopsis: |
| ICAC is the leading conference on autonomic computing techniques, foundations, and applications. Large-scale systems of all types, such as data centers, compute clouds, smart cities, cyber-physical systems, sensor networks, and embedded or pervasive environments, are becoming increasingly complex and burdensome for people to manage. Autonomic computing systems reduce this burden by managing their own behavior in accordance with high-level goals. ICAC brings together researchers and practitioners from disparate disciplines, application domains and perspectives, enabling them to discover and share underlying commonalities in their approaches to making resources, applications and systems more autonomic. |

===================================================================
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.

UC Berkeley is looking for a great programmer
================================================
Dear academic & professional colleagues:
If you have an MS-or-better student finishing up this semester who's
looking to stay in academia for a bit but doesn't want to jump right
into a PhD, or a great programmer who's been around the block a
couple of times and is looking to do something in the Bay Area for
a few years, the ASPIRE project at UC Berkeley (agile co-design of
hardware and software for high performance and energy efficiency)
is looking for a full time programmer.
Technically, someone who knows something about languages and language
engineering and has great software engineering practices; socially,
someone who's interesting to be around and (ideally) even has some
experience in an academic or R&D setting.
Nominally a career position, solid salary, great benefits and work
with fun people - not just the Berkeley crowd but the many, many
companies we have close relationships with (Intel, Google, Nokia,
NVidia, Oracle, many others), and the chance to work with truly
great students in a variety of settings.
