The Israeli Experimental Systems Conference http://www.haifa.il.ibm.com/conferences/systor2009/ 4?6 May 2009 Haifa, Israel IBM Haifa Research Lab and IBM Systems and Technology Group Lab, in collaboration with Israeli academia, are organizing SYSTOR 2009, a successor to the highly successful workshops on systems and storage held at the IBM Haifa Research Lab. The goal of the conference is to promote systems research and to foster stronger ties between the Israeli and worldwide systems research communities and industry. SYSTOR 2009 will be a three-day conference combining academic and industrial sessions. Each day will include a keynote by a well-known international researcher on one of the conference topics. In addition, we are planning special activities for graduate students. Submissions of a practical and experimental nature are solicited for the academic and industrial sessions. The conference is open to all systems research topics, including (but not limited to): * General computer systems issues in operating systems, architecture, memory hierarchy, compilation, and embedded systems * Distributed systems such as peer-to-peer systems, sensor networks, and overlays, fault tolerance, and resource allocation * Storage systems issues related to long term preservation, archival storage, internet-scale storage, and replication and consistency * Cross-cutting issues such as workload modeling, performance metrics, power consumption, security, usability, and experience with real systems and failures In particular, we would like to emphasize the following themes: * Virtualization infrastructure and virtualization-aware system design * Multi-core architectures and the operating system facilities and programming environments that use them * Power consumption and management * Managing the explosive growth in storage and the increasing need to store, find and manage data for long periods For the academic track: Papers should report original research; if part of the material submitted was published previously, the paper should so indicate and should provide substantial additional results and material. For the industrial track: We are looking for technical presentations that describe the technology behind real products and the considerations that shaped the product's design and functionality. Submissions Paper submissions should be up to 14 pages in 11 pt font, in pdf format. To submit, please use the conference submission website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=systor2009. Submitted papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Proceedings including all accepted papers will be published by ACM in the ACM Digital Library. For the industrial track, it is acceptable to submit a short proposal for a presentation in lieu of a full paper as described above. Please include sufficient detail to exhibit the technical merit of the proposed presentation. We encourage accepted industrial presentations to also write a paper for the proceedings, but this is not compulsory. Important Dates: Submission: January 26, 2009 Notification: March 20, 2009 Final Version: April 10, 2009 Student Activities As part of the conference, students will have the opportunity to interact with senior researchers and obtain feedback regarding their research. To promote such interactions, we will have a poster session where students present their work. We will also have a lunch where members of the program committee and IBM researchers will be matched with students for more intensive interaction. Venue and Social Event The conference will be held in the lovely city of Haifa, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, and is home to Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Haifa is also the world center of the Baha'i faith. A trip will be organized to the wondrous Baha'i gardens and to areas in the city of Jerusalem.

CALL FOR PAPERS HotSWUp 2009: Second ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Software Upgrades (co-located with OOPSLA 2009) Orlando, Florida October 25, 2009 http://www.hotswup.org OBJECTIVES The goal of HotSWUp is to identify cutting-edge research ideas for implementing software upgrades. Software must be upgraded regularly to incorporate bug fixes and security patches or to keep up with the evolving requirements. Whether upgrades are applied offline or online, they significantly impact the software's performance and reliability. Recent studies and a large body of anecdotal evidence suggest that, in practice, upgrades are failure-prone, tedious, and expensive. HotSWUp is an interdisciplinary workshop, based on synergies among the areas of programming languages (e.g., as reflected at conferences such as OOPSLA or PLDI), software engineering (e.g., as reflected at ICSE or FSE) and systems (e.g., as reflected at SOSP or OSDI). By seeking contributions from both academic researchers and industry practitioners, HotSWUp aims to combine novel ideas with experience from upgrading real systems. The workshop builds on the success of HotSWUp'08, where the paper presentations and lively discussions attracted a diverse audience of researchers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Programming language / operating system / database support for software upgrades. - Improving the reliability of upgrades (e.g., support for upgrade validation and for rollback after failures). - Support for system restructuring (e.g., evolving APIs, changes to database schemas). - Identifying dependencies between components and guaranteeing safe interactions among mixed versions. - Coordinating and disseminating upgrades in large-scale distributed systems. - Tools for preparing, testing, and applying software upgrades. - Human factors in software upgrades (e.g., usability of upgrading tools, common operator mistakes). SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We solicit position papers that fall into one of the following categories: - Suggest how a successful approach can be applied in a different context (e.g., static dependency analysis applied to distributed-system upgrades). - Refute an old assumption about software upgrades (e.g., by presenting negative results). - Describe a new problem or propose a novel solution to an old problem. - Present empirical evidence related to the practical implementation of software upgrades. Papers must not exceed 5 pages, in the ACM SIGPLAN 10 point format, and must be submitted electronically at http://www.hotswup.org The workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

CALL FOR PAPERS HotSWUp 2009: Second ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Software Upgrades (co-located with OOPSLA 2009) Orlando, Florida October 25, 2009 http://www.hotswup.org OBJECTIVES The goal of HotSWUp is to identify cutting-edge research ideas for implementing software upgrades. Software must be upgraded regularly to incorporate bug fixes and security patches or to keep up with the evolving requirements. Whether upgrades are applied offline or online, they significantly impact the software's performance and reliability. Recent studies and a large body of anecdotal evidence suggest that, in practice, upgrades are failure-prone, tedious, and expensive. HotSWUp is an interdisciplinary workshop, based on synergies among the areas of programming languages (e.g., as reflected at conferences such as OOPSLA or PLDI), software engineering (e.g., as reflected at ICSE or FSE) and systems (e.g., as reflected at SOSP or OSDI). By seeking contributions from both academic researchers and industry practitioners, HotSWUp aims to combine novel ideas with experience from upgrading real systems. The workshop builds on the success of HotSWUp'08, where the paper presentations and lively discussions attracted a diverse audience of researchers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Programming language / operating system / database support for software upgrades. - Improving the reliability of upgrades (e.g., support for upgrade validation and for rollback after failures). - Support for system restructuring (e.g., evolving APIs, changes to database schemas). - Identifying dependencies between components and guaranteeing safe interactions among mixed versions. - Coordinating and disseminating upgrades in large-scale distributed systems. - Tools for preparing, testing, and applying software upgrades. - Human factors in software upgrades (e.g., usability of upgrading tools, common operator mistakes). SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We solicit position papers that fall into one of the following categories: - Suggest how a successful approach can be applied in a different context (e.g., static dependency analysis applied to distributed-system upgrades). - Refute an old assumption about software upgrades (e.g., by presenting negative results). - Describe a new problem or propose a novel solution to an old problem. - Present empirical evidence related to the practical implementation of software upgrades. Papers must not exceed 5 pages, in the ACM SIGPLAN 10 point format, and must be submitted electronically at http://www.hotswup.org The workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

Data volumes of applications in the fields of sciences and engineering, finance, media, online information resources, etc. are expected to double every two years over the next decade and further. With this continuing data explosion, it is necessary to store and process data efficiently by utilizing enormous computing power that is available in the form of multicore/manycore platforms. There is no doubt in the industry and research community that the importance of data intensive computing has been raising and will continue to be the foremost fields of research. This raise brings up many research issues, in forms of capturing and accessing data effectively and fast, processing it while still achieving high performance and high throughput, and storing it efficiently for future use. Programming for high performance yielding data intensive computing is an important challenging issue. Expressing data access requirements of applications and designing programming language abstractions to exploit parallelism are at immediate need. Application and domain specific optimizations are also parts of a viable solution in data intensive computing. While these are a few examples of issues, research in data intensive computing has become quite intense during the last few years yielding strong results. This special issue of the Journal Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC) is seeking original unpublished research articles that describe recent advances and efforts in the design and development of data intensive computing, functionalities and capabilities that will benefit many applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Data-intensive applications and their challenges * Storage and file systems * High performance data access toolkits * Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability * Meta-data management * Remote data access * Programming models, abstractions for data intensive computing * Compiler and runtime support * Data capturing, management, and scheduling techniques * Future research challenges of data intensive computing * Performance optimization techniques * Replication, archiving, preservation strategies * Real-time data intensive computing * Network support for data intensive computing * Challenges and solutions in the era of multi/many-core platforms * Stream computing * Green (Power efficient) data intensive computing * Security and protection of sensitive data in collaborative environments Guide for Authors Papers need not be solely abstract or conceptual in nature: proofs and experimental results can be included as appropriate. Authors should follow the JPDC manuscript format as described in the "Information for Authors" at the end of each issue of JPDC or at http://ees.elsevier.com/jpdc/ . The journal version will be reviewed as per JPDC review process for special issues. Important Dates: Paper Submission : January 15, 2010 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection : May 31, 2010 Final Version of the Paper : September 15, 2010 Submission Guidelines All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through Elsevier Editorial System (EES) at http://ees.elsevier.com/ jpdc.

Data volumes of applications in the fields of sciences and engineering, finance, media, online information resources, etc. are expected to double every two years over the next decade and further. With this continuing data explosion, it is necessary to store and process data efficiently by utilizing enormous computing power that is available in the form of multicore/manycore platforms. There is no doubt in the industry and research community that the importance of data intensive computing has been raising and will continue to be the foremost fields of research. This raise brings up many research issues, in forms of capturing and accessing data effectively and fast, processing it while still achieving high performance and high throughput, and storing it efficiently for future use. Programming for high performance yielding data intensive computing is an important challenging issue. Expressing data access requirements of applications and designing programming language abstractions to exploit parallelism are at immediate need. Application and domain specific optimizations are also parts of a viable solution in data intensive computing. While these are a few examples of issues, research in data intensive computing has become quite intense during the last few years yielding strong results. This special issue of the Journal Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC) is seeking original unpublished research articles that describe recent advances and efforts in the design and development of data intensive computing, functionalities and capabilities that will benefit many applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Data-intensive applications and their challenges * Storage and file systems * High performance data access toolkits * Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability * Meta-data management * Remote data access * Programming models, abstractions for data intensive computing * Compiler and runtime support * Data capturing, management, and scheduling techniques * Future research challenges of data intensive computing * Performance optimization techniques * Replication, archiving, preservation strategies * Real-time data intensive computing * Network support for data intensive computing * Challenges and solutions in the era of multi/many-core platforms * Stream computing * Green (Power efficient) data intensive computing * Security and protection of sensitive data in collaborative environments * Data intensive computing on accelerators and GPUs Guide for Authors Papers need not be solely abstract or conceptual in nature: proofs and experimental results can be included as appropriate.
