MGC 2011: 9th Intl. Workshop on Middleware for grids, Clouds and e-Science

[Victorio Sonzogni]

Desde: 12-12-2011
Hasta: 16-12-2011
Lugar: Lisbon, Portugal

9th International Workshop on Middleware for Grids, Clouds and e-Science
MGC 2011, in conjunction with
ACM/IFIP/USENIX 12th International Middleware Conference 2011
Lisbon, Portugal – December 12-16, 2011,  http://mgc2011.lncc.br

The MGC workshop series started with the Middleware Conference in 2003, in
Rio (Brazil), followed by MGC 2004 in Toronto (Canada), MGC 2005 in
Grenoble (France), MGC 2006 in Melbourne (Australia), MGC 2007 in
California (USA), MGC 2008 in Leuven (BE), MGC 2009 in Urbana-Champaign
(US), and MGC 2010 in Bangalore(IN). Following each workshop, thoroughly
revised selected papers were invited  to Special Issues of Concurrency and
Computation: Practice and Experience Journal (CPE) Journal.

For the MGC 2011 workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit and
present original work related to Grid, Cloud, and e-Science middleware to
be considered for publication. Within this overall scope, MGC 2011 will
emphasize issues of scalability in terms of cloud mechanisms for
computation and data  scaling as well as adaptive and semantic mechanisms
for scaling capabilities across disciplines and over  time. Overall topics
of interest include but are not limited to:

Cloud Computing Middleware
Core Infrastructure
SaaS/PaaS/IaaS
Utility computing
Virtualization Middleware
Service Level AgreementsStrategies and Protocols to Support QoS
Managing Large Data Centers
Dependability and Fault Tolerance
Performance Evaluation and Modeling
Metadata and Schemas
Programming Models and Tools
Resource Management and Scheduling
Management of Scientific Models and Workflows
Energy Management and Green Computing
Security
Information Services
Portals and Containers
Adaptive/Autonomic Middleware
Application Testbeds

Paper Submission: The MGC 2011 Workshop invites authors to submit original
and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages ACM style
(single-spaced 2-column of text using 09-point size type on A4 paper).
Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print
on a PostScript printer.

Electronic only submission (via submission server). Submission requires
the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the
paper. All selected papers for this workshop are peer-reviewed and will be
published with ACM. Selected (extended) papers will be invited to a
special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience
Journal to appear.
