Call for Workshops
The ACM Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC) conference organizers invite proposals for Workshops to be held with HPDC in San Jose, California in June 2011. Workshops will run on June 8, preceding the main conference sessions June 9-11.
HPDC 2011 is the 20th anniversary of HPDC, a preeminent conference in high performance computing, including cloud and grid computing. This year's conference will be held in conjunction with the Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC), which includes high profile conferences in complementary research areas, providing a unique opportunity for a broader technical audience and wider impact for successful workshops.
Workshops provide forums for discussion among researchers and practitioners on focused topics, emerging research areas, or both. Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. Workshops could be scheduled for a half day or a full day, depending on interest, space constraints, and organizer preference. Organizers should design workshops for approximately 20-40 participants, to balance impact and effective discussion.
A workshop proposal must be made in writing, sent to Mike Lewis at mlewis@cs.binghamton.edu, and should include:
Due to publication deadlines, workshops must operate within roughly the following timeline: papers due in early February (2-3 weeks after the HPDC deadline), list of accepted papers send to the publisher by late February, camera ready papers due from authors by March 24th.
