Scientific Applications:

CHALLENGES OF LARGE APPS IN GRID ENVIRONMENTS ADDRESSED

Call For Papers: CLADE 2003.

International Workshop on Heterogeneous and Adaptive Computation.

Seattle, June 21st 2003, in conjunction with the 12th Intl Symposium on High-Performance Grid Distributed Computing (HPDC-12).

Major advances in networking, high-end computers, large data stores and middleware capabilities are ushering a new era of large scale, grid distributed applications, which dynamically marshal resources across a heterogeneous, distributed environment.

The goal of this workshop is to encourage innovation in addressing complex issues that arise in large-scale applications of distributed computation. One purpose is to promote the development of new classes of applications that effectively use grid distributed resources and adapt to a wide range of changing conditions in space and time.

This includes large scale applications in cluster and grid computation, and simulations of such problems, that involve issues related to irregularity of applications and algorithms in space and time, variability in programming environments, heterogeneity of software and hardware platforms, etc. For example, we are interested in approaches that simultaneously address multiple sources of heterogeneity.

This workshop creates a forum to promote the exchange of ideas, information, and novel developments between universities, federal laboratories, and industry. It will provide a fertile environment for multidisciplinary collaborative approaches towards finding solutions to issues arising in large- scale distributed applications.

Topics of interest to this workshop include but are not limited to the following:

  • Large-scale distributed science applications
  • Application-specific science 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 multidimensional adaptive applications, e.g. 3D AMR
  • Development of principles that address heterogeneous aspects, ranging from problem to infrastructure in cluster and grid computation
  • Theories and tools for constructing adaptive software systems
  • Integration of various programming models for heterogeneous computation
  • Variable granularity environments
  • Resource management, dynamic scheduling and load balancing in distributed, heterogeneous environments
  • Runtime support for intelligent, adaptive systems
  • Portability, quality of service, or fault-tolerance in cluster and grid computation
  • Performance analysis, evaluation and prediction of adaptive systems

Paper Submission

CLADE 2003 invites authors to submit peer-reviewable papers on original and unpublished work (up to 10 pages not including figures and references) at clade2003@cs.msstate.edu. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

Publication

The workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. A number of papers will also be selected to appear in a special issue of Cluster Computing journal published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
