Processing such amounts of data efficiently > has been an issue to scientific discovery and technological > advancement. In addition, making the data accessible, understandable and > interoperable includes unsolved problems. Novel middleware architectures, > algorithms, and application development frameworks are required. > > In this workshop we are particularly interested in original work at the > intersection of HPC and Big Data with regard to middleware handling > and optimizations. Scope is existing and proposed middleware for HPC > and big data, including analytics libraries and frameworks. > > The goal of this workshop is to bring together software architects, > middleware and framework developers, data-intensive application developers > as well as users from the scientific and engineering community to exchange > their experience in processing large datasets and to report their scientific > achievement and innovative ideas. The workshop also offers a dedicated forum > for these researchers to access the state of the art, to discuss problems > and requirements, to identify gaps in current and planned designs, and to > collaborate in strategies for scalable data-intensive computing. > > The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper > presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections. > Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations. > > > TOPICS > > Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: > > - Middleware including: Hadoop, Apache Drill, YARN, Spark/Shark, Hive, Pig, > Sqoop, > HBase, HDFS, S4, CIEL, Oozie, Impala, Storm and Hyrack > - Data intensive middleware architecture > - Libraries/Frameworks including: Apache Mahout, Giraph, UIMA and GraphLab > - NG Databases including Apache Cassandra, MongoDB and CouchDB/Couchbase > - Schedulers including Cascading > - Middleware for optimized data locality/in-place data processing > - Data handling middleware for deployment in virtualized HPC environments > - Parallelization and distributed processing architectures at the middleware > level > - Integration with cloud middleware and application servers > - Runtime environments and system level support for data-intensive computing > - Skeletons and patterns > - Checkpointing > - Programming models and languages > - Big Data ETL > - Stream processing middleware > - In-memory databases for HPC > - Scalability and interoperability > - Large-scale data storage and distributed file systems > - Content-centric addressing and networking > - Execution engines, languages and environments including CIEL/Skywriting > - Performance analysis, evaluation of data-intensive middleware > - In-depth analysis and performance optimizations in existing data-handling > middleware, focusing on indexing/fast storing or retrieval between compute > and storage nodes > - Highly scalable middleware optimized for minimum communication > - Use cases and experience for popular Big Data middleware > - Middleware security, privacy and trust architectures > > DATES > > Papers: > Rolling abstract submission > May 31, 2013 - Full paper submission > July 8, 2013 - Acceptance notification > October 3, 2013 - Camera-ready version due > > Lightning Talks: > June 28, 2013 - Deadline for lightning talk abstracts > July 15, 2013 - Lightning talk notification > > August 27, 2013 - Workshop Date > > > TPC > > CHAIR > > Michael Alexander (chair), TU Wien, Austria > Anastassios Nanos (co-chair), NTUA, Greece > Jie Tao (co-chair), Karlsruhe Institut of Technology, Germany > Lizhe Wang (co-chair), Chinese Academy of Sciences, China > Gianluigi Zanetti (co-chair), CRS4, Italy > > PROGRAM COMMITTEE > > Amitanand Aiyer, Facebook, USA > Costas Bekas, IBM, Switzerland > Jakob Blomer, CERN, Switzerland > William Gardner, University of Guelph, USA > José Gracia, HPC Center of the University of Stuttgart, Germany > Zhenghua Guom, Indiana University, USA > Marcus Hardt, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany > Sverre Jarp, CERN, Switzerland > Christopher Jung, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany > Andreas Knüpfer - Technische Universität Dresden, Germany > Nectarios Koziris, National Technical University of Athens, Greece > Yan Ma, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China > Martin Schulz - Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory > Viral Shah, MIT Julia Group, USA > Dimitrios Tsoumakos, Ionian University, Greece > Zhifeng Yun, Louisiana State University, USA > > > PAPER PUBLICATION > > Accepted full papers will be published in the Springer LNCS series. > > The best papers of the workshop will be published in a Special Issue > of the Springer Journal of Scalable Computing (to be confirmed). > > > PAPER SUBMISSION > > Papers submitted to the workshop will be reviewed by at least two > members of the program committee and external reviewers.
