Challenges of Large Applications in Distributed Environments
June 7th, 2004, Honolulu, HI

(In conjunction with the 13th International Symposium on High
Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 13))
CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------
Advances in networking, high-end computers, large data stores and middleware
capabilities are ushering in a new era of large scale, distributed
applications,
which dynamically marshal resources across a heterogeneous, distributed
environment. Along with these opportunities come new challenges. The goal
of this workshop is to encourage innovation by addressing the complex issues
that arise in large-scale applications of distributed computation, and
to promote the development of innovative applications that effectively use
distributed resources and adapt to a wide range of heterogeneity and
dynamics
in space and time. This includes development, deployment, management and
evaluations of large scale applications in science, engineering, medicine,
business, economics, education, and other disciplines, on Grids and other
distributed heterogeneous and dynamic computing environments. Issues
related to irregularity of applications and algorithms in space and time,
variability in programming environments, heterogeneity of software and
hardware platforms, dynamics, ad hoc behaviors and unreliability of
execution
environments, etc., in the context of these applications are of particular
interest.
This workshop promotes the exchange of ideas, information, and novel
developments among universities, federal laboratories, and industry.
It fosters multidisciplina ry collaborative solutions to issues arising in
large-scale distributed applications. Topics of interest to this workshop
include (but are not limited to) applications that illustrate advances in
the following areas:
* Very large-scale distributed applications
* Autonomic applications and runtime systems
* Application-specific portals in distributed environments
* Distributed problem-solving environments
* Distributed, collaborative science applications
* Heterogeneous spatial and temporal applications, e.g., with heterogeneous
characteristics
in time, space and domain
* Distributed, multidimensiona l, dynamically adaptive applications
* Applications of new theories and tools for constructing adaptive software
systems
* Variable granularity environments
* Examples of distributed applications benefiting from advances in
o Resource management, dynamic scheduling or load balancing in
heterogeneous environments
o Runtime support for intelligent, adaptive systems
o Programming models for heterogeneous and dynamic computation
o Portability, quality of service, or fault-tolerance in cluster and grid
computation
o Performance analysis, evaluation and prediction of adaptive systems
