CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------- 3rd International Workshop on Cloud Computing and Scientific Applications (CCSA 2013) http://www.cloudserviceresearch.com/ccsa2013/ In conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (ICSOC 2013) Berlin, Germany, December 2-5, 2013 *** $US 1000 cash prize as best paper award *** ++ Journal Special Issue with The Computer Journal, Oxford University Press ++ CCSA workshop has been formed to promote research and development activities focused on enabling and scaling scientific applications using distributed computing paradigms, such as cluster, Grid, and Cloud Computing. With the rapid emergence of virtualized environments for accessing software systems and solutions, the volume of users and their data are growing exponentially. According to the IDC, by 2020, when the ICT industry reaches $5 billion - $1.7 billion larger than it is today - at least 80% of the industry's growth will driven by 3rd platform technologies, such as cloud services and big data analytics. Existing computing infrastructure, software system designs, and use cases will have to take into account the enormity in volume of requests, size of data, computing load, locality and type of users, and every growing needs of all applications. Cloud computing promises reliable services delivered through next-generation data centers that are built on compute and storage virtualization technologies. Users will be able to access applications and data from a Cloud anywhere in the world on demand. In other words, the Cloud appears to be a single point of access for all the computing needs of users. The users are assured that the Cloud infrastructure is robust and will always be available at any time. To address the growing needs of both applications and Cloud computing paradigm, CCSA brings together researchers and practitioners from around the world to share their experiences, to focus on modeling, executing, and monitoring scientific applications on Clouds. In this workshop, we are interested in receiving innovative work on enabling and scaling computing systems to support the execution of scientific applications. The target audience include researchers and industry practitioners who are interested in distributed systems, particularly focusing on scaling of applications using Cloud computing.

Authors should submit full papers of up to 6 pages, strictly following the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript style (available at 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 6 pages. Oversized papers will be automatically rejected by the committee. 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. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. The proceedings will be published and will be made online through the IEEE Xplore. BEST PAPER AWARD ----------------- CCSA is sponsoring a Best Paper Award to one paper presented at the workshop. A certificate and a cash prize will be awarded to one author selected as the best paper award winner. JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE --------------------- All papers, after presentation at the conference, will be invited to submit their revised version to a special issue of The Computer Journal, Oxford University Press |
