*********************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS BDMC 2012 1st Workshop on Big Data Management in Clouds in conjunction with EuroPar 2012 http://www.irisa.fr/kerdata/bdmc/ August 27, 2012 - Rhodes Island, Greece *********************************************************************************** *WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: As data volumes increase at exponential speed in more and more application fields of science, the challenges posed by handling Big Data in the Exabyte era gain an increasing importance. High-energy physics, statistics, climate modeling, cosmology, genetics or bio-informatics are just a few examples of fields where it becomes crucial to efficiently manipulate Big Data, which are typically shared at large scale. With the emergence of highly scalable infrastructures, e.g. for Cloud computing, multiple application classes that perform complex data processing (data mining, online transaction record management, etc.), initially reserved to governments and large corporations that could afford the underlying infrastructures to run them, now become accessible to a large public. While Clouds provide huge amounts of storage space and customizable computing resources, users find themselves at the mercy of their Cloud service providers for the availability and integrity of their data. Although outsourcing data into the Cloud is economically attractive for the cost and complexity of long-term large-scale data storage, its lacking of offering strong assurance of data integrity and availability may impede its wide adoption by both enterprise and individual Cloud users. Such needs require simultaneous investigation of important aspects related to dependability, security and quality of service. The BDMC workshop provides a platform for the dissemination of recent research efforts that explicitly aim at addressing these challenges, and supports the presentation of advanced solutions for the efficient management of Big Data in the context of Cloud computing. The workshop aims to provide a venue for researchers to present and discuss results on all aspects of data management in Clouds, new development and deployment efforts in running data-intensive computing workloads. In particular, we are interested in how the use of Cloud-based technologies can meet the data intensive scientific challenges of HPC applications that are not well served by the current supercomputers or grids, and are being ported to Cloud platforms. The goal of the workshop is to support the assessment of the current state, introduce future directions, and present architectures and services for future Clouds supporting data intensive computing. *TOPICS OF INTEREST: The BDMC workshop calls for contributions that address fundamental research and system issues in Cloud data management including but not limited to the following: .Cloud storage architectures for Big Data .Reliability of data intensive applications and services running on the Cloud .Query processing and indexing in Cloud computing systems .Data privacy and security in Clouds .Cloud storage resource management .Data-intensive Cloud-based applications .Content delivery networks using storage Clouds .Data intensive scalable computing on Clouds .Data management within and across multiple data centers .Data handling in MapReduce based computations .Data management in HPC Clouds .Programming models for data-intensive Cloud computing .Elasticity for Cloud data management systems *WORKSHOP CHAIRS: Alexandru Costan, Inria Rennes-Bretagne Atlantique, France Ciprian Dobre, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania *PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Gabriel Antoniu, Inria, France Luc Bougé, ENS, France Toni Cortes, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain Valentin Cristea, University Politehnica Bucharest, Romania Frédéric Desprez, Inria, France David Menga, EDF, France Maria S.

We solicit the submission of academic workshop papers representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Papers should be prepared as the .pdf files and submitted electronically to the BDMC 2012 online submission system (via EasyChair). Submission of the paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors must REGISTER and present the paper at the workshop. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer. *IMPORTANT DATES: Submission Deadline:June 4, 2012 June 18, 2012 Notification of Acceptance: July 6, 2012 Final Manuscript: July 20, 2012 Workshop Date: August 27, 2012 _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
