Synopsis

Scalability is a primary consideration in the design and implementation of computing and communication systems. The rapid increase in the volume of information that needs to be processed by computers necessitates new architectures, software, algorithms, and tools to improve scalability.
ScalCom-12 aims at providing an international forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss original ideas on all aspects of scalability in computing. ScalCom-12 is soliciting original, previously unpublished work addressing research challenges and presenting advances in the design and implementation of scalable computing and communication systems.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Scalable modeling and simulation
Data intensive computing
Multi-core and computer architectures
Cluster, Grid and Cloud computing
Scalable algorithms
Scalable networks:
Scalable service computing
Scalable databases

Paper Submission Guidelines
All papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF format. The material presented should be original and not published or under submission elsewhere. Authors should submit full papers of up to 8 pages, following strictly the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript style (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting), using two-column, single-space format, with 10-point font size. Figures and references must be included in the 8 pages. Oversized papers will be automatically rejected by the PC chairs. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register early to attend the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings.
