SDIA 2010 - Scalable Data Intensive Applications
================================================
Special session of PDP 2010 - 18th Euromicro Int.l Conf. on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing

February 17-19, 2010 - Pisa, Italy

We are living in the information age. The day-to-day human activities produce overwhelming amount of information, which need be stored in computer-based repositories and warehouses for everyday processing. Storing, managing, sharing, searching, mining, extracting knowledge and aggregating such data for complex applications are thus becoming increasingly more challenging.

The size of data and the algorithmic complexity of analysis performed require the exploitation of high-performance parallel and distributed solutions to guarantee scalability and acceptable latency.

This special session will focus on such wide array of scalability issues for data-intensive applications, and investigate new approaches to tackle problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of data and information.


Topics include, but are not limited to:
---------------------------------------
Distributed and P2P systems for scalable computing
Data-intensive grids and clouds
Scalability of data-intensive applications on emerging computing architectures (SMTs, GPUs, Multicores)
Scalable information retrieval and Web search engines
Scalable Data and Web Mining
Data management and searching in P2P systems
Large data warehousing and OLAP
Programming abstractions for high performance data intensive algorithms
High performance and resource aware data-stream mining and management
Mining and searching multimedia contents
Distributed indexing and retrieval of dynamic information sources



Paper Submission
----------------
Paper submitted to SDIA 2010 should comply with the format of the IEEE proceedings and should not exceed 8 pages.
The proceedings of SDIA 2010 will be published by IEEE Computer Society, along with the papers of the main conference PDP 2010

Paper submission will be open one month before the deadline, and will be handled through the Easychair conference management system. Submission instructions will be hosted on this page.
Submitted papers will undergo the same review process as those submitted to the main conference. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present the paper at SDIA 2010.


Important dates
---------------
Deadline for paper submission: July 20th, 2009
Acceptance notification: October 5th, 2009
Camera ready paper due: October 30th, 2009
