Scalability is a primary consideration in the design and implementation of computing and communication systems. The rapid increases in the volume of information that needs to be processed by computers necessitates new architectures, software, algorithms, and tools to improve scalability.

ScalCom-11 aims at providing an international forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss original ideas on all aspects of scalability in computing. ScalCom-11 is soliciting original, previously unpublished work addressing research challenges and presenting advances in the design and implementation of scalable computing and communication systems.

The conference solicits papers broadly categorized in two tracks, Distributed Computing Systems and Parallel Computing Systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Distributed Computing Systems
Distributed computing paradigms (cloud, grid, P2P, and utility computing)
Data management and data centers
Sensor networks and applications
Wireless and mobile computing
Internet-based computing, protocols, and applications
Security and privacy issues in distributed computing
Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
Algorithms
System software (programming environments, OS, middleware)
Applications and tools

Scalable Parallel Computing
Multi-core architectures
Graphics processors and accelerators
Interconnection networks
Compilers, programming models, and runtime environments
Operating systems and virtual machine monitors
Parallel I/O and storage systems
Exascale computing systems
Fault tolerance, reliability and dependability
Green parallel computing
Applications and tools

Proceedings:

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
