Website: http://icpe2013.ipd.kit.edu/conference_workshops/hottopics/ Prague, Czech Republic, April 20-21, 2013 Organized by EU FP7 MarieCurie ITN "RELATE" (http://www.relate-itn.eu/) Technically co-sponsored by SPEC Research Group (http://research.spec.org/) Submission Deadline: February 1, 2013 Proceedings: To be published by ACM in ACM Digital Library =================================================================================== === Overview === Cloud computing as a novel paradigm for providing data center resources (computing, network and storage) as on demand services promises significant cost savings by making it possible to consolidate workloads and share infrastructure resources among multiple applications resulting in higher cost- and energy-efficiency. The Cloud seems particularly well-suited for the service-oriented paradigm of software development, which already hides a lot of implementation detail behind a service's interface. Similarly, the Cloud hides details of data centre management and maintenance such as resource management, location and allocation, or pricing strategies behind a public interface. While there has been substantial research in the field already, there still remain open challenges?for example in the areas of resource management for elasticity, automated pricing strategies, or VM and service migration. Hot Topics in Cloud Services provides a platform for academics and industrial practitioners to exchange novel research ideas and current problems from practice and to identify new and "hot" topics in the field. As indicated by the co-location with ICPE, we are particularly interested in work tackling performance-related problems (understood in a very broad sense), but other work related to the creation and management of service-based cloud applications (e.g., from an economic perspective) are equally welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following areas: - Resource management in the Cloud for elasticity and/or cost-minimisation - Virtualization platforms and management of virtual appliances - Cloud storage architectures - Network virtualization approaches for cloud computing - Autonomic/self-managed cloud architectures - Quality-of-service management including performance, reliability, availability, resilience, security and privacy aspects - Power and energy efficiency - Service-level agreement definition and enforcement - Design-time analysis and prediction of non-functional properties of service-based Cloud applications - Design and implementation of service-based Cloud applications - Design of scalable cloud applications - Provision and design of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS systems - Cloud programming models and interoperability - Transition from traditional data center hosting into cloud-services - Migrating traditional on-premise applications to the cloud - Hybrid models (private & public cloud) - Economic models of the Cloud and related pricing schemes and business models - Technical & non-technical constraints (e.g., legal, privacy, security) - Monitoring, reporting, and failure recovery - Multi-tenant architectures and related aspects such as performance isolation - Mobile clouds - Big data applications - Novel cloud applications and case studies - Methods and metrics for quantitative evaluation of Cloud systems with respect to performance, elasticity, isolation, scalability, dependability (availability, reliability and resilience), power consumption and energy efficiency. - Benchmarking methodologies - Workload characterization and reproducibility === Submission format, publication === Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not being considered in another forum. Duplicate submissions will be rejected without review. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the workshop and present the paper. Only the accepted and presented papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings which will be published by ACM in the ACM Digital Library. Papers should be up to 8 pages in the standard ACM format for conference proceedings and must be written in English. We explicitly invite work-in-progress papers as well as position or vision papers. Papers can be submitted through EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hottopics13 until the deadline. Papers will be made available to workshop participants and will be published in the ACM DL after the workshop. Authors will be given an opportunity to revise their papers after the workshop before final publication in the ACM DL. === Important Dates === Submission of papers February 1, 2013 Notification of acceptance February 18, 2013 Workshop April 20-21, 2013 === Workshop co-organisers === Samuel Kounev, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Steffen Zschaler, King's College London Kai Sachs, SAP AG === Programme Committee === (More to be confirmed) Vasilios Andrikopoulos, IAAS, University of Stuttgart, Germany Alberto Avritzer, Siemens Corporate Research, USA Spiros Alexakis, CAS Software AG, Germany Salman Baset, IBM T.J.

The conference will take place June 30 - July 2, 2013 in Haifa, Israel, shortly following the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA 2013) in Tel Aviv. SYSTOR promotes experimental and practical computer systems research including (but not limited to) the following topics: * operating systems, computer architecture, and their interactions * distributed, parallel, and cloud systems * networked, mobile, wireless, peer-to-peer, and sensor systems * runtime systems and compiler/programming-language support * energy/power management * file and storage systems * security, privacy, and trust * virtualization * embedded and real-time systems * fault tolerance, reliability, and availability * deployment, usage, and experience * performance evaluation and workload characterization SYSTOR is a home for high-quality international systems research of a practical nature and welcomes both academic and industrial contributions. We solicit paper submissions in three separate categories: Full papers should report original, previously unpublished high-quality research, and be at most 10 pages of content, including everything except references, which may use additional pages. The program committee will review all submitted papers. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and included in the conference proceedings, to be published by a major society. Short papers should report original, previously unpublished work for which a full paper may not be suitable. Short paper submissions may report on smaller ideas; unconventional ideas that are still in a preliminary stage of development; interesting negative results; experimental (in)validation of previous findings; controversial positions that challenge common wisdom; and fresh approaches for addressing old problems. Short papers may be at most 5 pages, excluding references. They will undergo the same review process as full papers. If accepted, short papers will be allocated a shorter talk slot during the conference and will also be published in the conference proceedings. Highlight papers should contain exciting research results that have been accepted to a recent top-tier systems conference or journal. A small sub-committee will briefly review these submissions and will select the most suitable ones for SYSTOR. The corresponding presentations will then be "replayed" at SYSTOR for the benefit of the local community. A highlight paper submission should include the full citation of the published or accepted paper and a link to it. Accepted submissions will not be published in the proceedings. Proceedings including all (non-highlight) accepted papers will be published by the ACM. Additionally, SYSTOR 2013 will host distinguished keynote speakers, a poster session, and several social events at the conference. Our goal is to provide an excellent forum for interaction across the systems community: international, academic, and industrial, for both students and more established members. Paper submission: Submissions must be in PDF and printable on US letter sized paper. Authors should format their papers with the SIGPLAN template using 10pt font (both LaTeX and MS Word versions are available). LaTeX users: please use the "natbib" package, a link to which is available on the SYSTOR website. Please use the 'preprint' option of the \documentclass (the page numbers it produces are of great help to reviewers). Word users: please use page numbers to assist the reviewers. Submitted papers must NOT have appeared in or be under consideration for appearing in another venue such as a workshop, conference, or journal. Poster submissions: Authors who wish to present their work as posters are required to submit a one-page PDF with a description of their poster (*not* the poster itself). Submissions could represent early work that is not yet ready for submission to a refereed conference or journal, or describe a technical (non-marketing) innovation. Authors of accepted posters are expected to prepare and present their posters.

It was designed to provide large-scale, dedicated computer resources for the systems research community. All PRObE resources are dedicated for systems research and users have full (and remote) access to the system hardware and software through the Emulab (emulab.net) interface developed at the University of Utah. At the moment, three clusters are online: Marmot ~100 nodes, Denali ~100 nodes, and Kodiak ~1000 nodes. Two more clusters will come online in the next six months. The majority of machines are housed at the NMC in Los Alamos and a smaller subset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Use of the smaller clusters follows standard Emulab online proposal and sharing procedures, and are intended for porting and practice use. Use of the larger clusters is time shared, not space shared. PIs write a short proposal justifying the science and their preparation and PRObE allocates the entire resource for days to weeks. All users are required to publish and/or release experimental results gathered using PRObE resources. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Feedback Computing is a unique forum built around advancing feedback system theory and practice in modeling, analyzing, designing, and optimizing computing systems. The creation of this workshop represents the growing use of feedback in a broader agenda and is a timely response to the following two trends: 1. Computing systems are growing larger, smarter, and more complex, embedding in the physical world, human interactions, and societal infrastructure. Systematic and feedback-driven approaches are critical to address the dynamic complexity that arises in new fields such as cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, social networks, and mobile applications. 2. Advances in disciplines such as machine learning, mathematical optimization, network theories, decision theories, and data engineering provide new foundations and techniques that empower feedback approaches to address computing systems at scale and to achieve goals such as autonomy, adaptation, stabilization, robustness, or performance optimization. ----------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS The Feedback Computing Workshop seeks original research contributions and position papers on advancing feedback control technologies and their applications in computing systems, broadly defined. Topic of interests include but are not limited to: * Theoretical foundations for feedback computing * New control paradigms and system architecture * Sensing, actuation, and data management in feedback computing * Learning and modeling of computing system dynamics * Design patterns and software engineering * Feedback computing education and awareness * Experiences and best practices from real systems * Applications in domains such as distributed systems, cloud computing, data center resource management, real-time systems, cyber-physical systems, social network, and mobility We encourage research paper submissions expressing original research results, challenge paper submissions motivating new research directions, and application paper submissions elaborating experiences from real systems. In addition, the workshop will leverage extended coffee breaks and lunch break to arrange special meetings and to discuss collaborative research agenda built among the participants. ----------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit three types of papers to emphasize the multiple focuses of this workshop: * Research Papers: Research paper submissions must represent original, unpublished contributions. All submissions should be typeset in two-column format in 10 point type on 12 point (single-spaced) leading, with the text block being no more than 6.5" wide by 9" deep; submission should not exceed 6 pages in length (excluding references). Manuscript templates are available for download from the USENIX templates page. * Challenge Papers: Challenge paper submissions must motivate research challenges with real systems that can take advantage of feedback computing. All submissions should be typeset in two-column format in 10 point type on 12 point (single-spaced) leading, with the text block being no more than 6.5" wide by 9" deep; submission should not exceed 3 pages in length (excluding references). Manuscript templates are available for download from the USENIX templates page. * Application Papers: Application paper submissions must be based on real experience and working systems. All submissions should be formatted as annotated slides-a visual in the upper half of a page and the explanatory text in the lower half-and should not exceed 15 slides in length. All papers are to be submitted via the Web submission form, which will be available here soon, as PDF files. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. USENIX, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. See the USENIX Conference Submissions Policy for details. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. If you are uncertain whether your submission meets USENIX's guidelines, please contact the program co-chairs, feedback13chairs at usenix.org, or the USENIX office, submissionspolicy at usenix.org. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper in person at the workshop. There will not be copyright-transferred formal proceedings for the workshop. The accepted papers will be available online to registered attendees before the conference and will also be distributed via USB drives at the conference. If your accepted paper should not be published prior to the event, please notify production at usenix.org. The papers will be available online to everyone beginning on June 25, 2013. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication on the USENIX Feedback Computing Workshop'13 Web site; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. One Best Paper Award will be announced at the end of workshop to recognize the current best work in feedback computing. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ORGANIZERS General Chair Yixin Diao, IBM T.J.

The conference will take place June 30 - July 2, 2013 in Haifa, Israel, shortly following the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA 2013) in Tel Aviv. SYSTOR promotes experimental and practical computer systems research including (but not limited to) the following topics: * operating systems, computer architecture, and their interactions * distributed, parallel, and cloud systems * networked, mobile, wireless, peer-to-peer, and sensor systems * runtime systems and compiler/programming-language support * energy/power management * file and storage systems * security, privacy, and trust * virtualization * embedded and real-time systems * fault tolerance, reliability, and availability * deployment, usage, and experience * performance evaluation and workload characterization SYSTOR is a home for high-quality international systems research of a practical nature and welcomes both academic and industrial contributions. We solicit paper submissions in three separate categories: Full papers should report original, previously unpublished high-quality research, and be at most 10 pages of content, including everything except references, which may use additional pages. The program committee will review all submitted papers. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and included in the conference proceedings, to be published in the ACM Digital Library. Short papers should report original, previously unpublished work for which a full paper may not be suitable. Short paper submissions may report on smaller ideas; unconventional ideas that are still in a preliminary stage of development; interesting negative results; experimental (in)validation of previous findings; controversial positions that challenge common wisdom; and fresh approaches for addressing old problems. Short papers may be at most 5 pages, excluding references. They will undergo the same review process as full papers. If accepted, short papers will be allocated a shorter talk slot during the conference and will also be published in the conference proceedings. Highlight papers should contain exciting research results that have been accepted to a recent top-tier systems conference or journal. A small sub-committee will briefly review these submissions and will select the most suitable ones for SYSTOR. The corresponding presentations will then be "replayed" at SYSTOR for the benefit of the local community. A highlight paper submission should include the full citation of the published or accepted paper and a link to it. Accepted submissions will not be published in the proceedings. Proceedings including all (non-highlight) accepted papers will be published by the ACM. Additionally, SYSTOR 2013 will host distinguished keynote speakers, a poster session, and several social events at the conference. Our goal is to provide an excellent forum for interaction across the systems community: international, academic, and industrial, for both students and more established members. Paper submission: Submissions must be in PDF and printable on US letter sized paper. Authors should format their papers with the SIGPLAN template using 10pt font (both LaTeX and MS Word versions are available). LaTeX users: please use the "natbib" package, a link to which is available on the SYSTOR website. Please use the 'preprint' option of the \documentclass (the page numbers it produces are of great help to reviewers). Word users: please use page numbers to assist the reviewers. Submitted papers must NOT have appeared in or be under consideration for appearing in another venue such as a workshop, conference, or journal. Poster submissions: Authors who wish to present their work as posters are required to submit a one-page PDF with a description of their poster (*not* the poster itself). Submissions could represent early work that is not yet ready for submission to a refereed conference or journal, or describe a technical (non-marketing) innovation. Authors of accepted posters are expected to prepare and present their posters.

Middleware is the software that resides between applications and the underlying architecture and platforms, often with an emphasis on networked computing. The goal of middleware is to facilitate the development of applications by providing higher-level abstractions for better programmability, performance, scalability, security, and a variety of essential features. It is a rapidly evolving and growing field. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 14th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research, technology and experimentation in 2013. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of system platforms and architectures for current and future computing, storage, and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, panel discussions involving academic and industry leaders, poster and demonstration presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops. TOPICS Original submissions of research papers on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to (please don?t miss the additional SPECIAL TRACKS listed below): MIDDLEWARE PLATFORMS and USAGE MODELS: - Middleware for emerging cloud computing, datacenters, and server farms - Middleware for data intensive computing, in the enterprise and high performance domains - Middleware for Internet applications and social networks - Middleware for Web services, Web service composition, and SOA - Event-based, publish/subscribe, and message-oriented middleware - Middleware for high end machines and applications - Middleware for mobile devices, ubiquitous, and mobile computing - Middleware for sensor networks and embedded systems - Middleware support for multimedia and tele-immersion - Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware approaches - Middleware solutions for distributed databases - Peer-to-peer middleware solutions - Middleware for social computing, social software, and crowdsourcing SYSTEMS ISSUES FOR MIDDLEWARE: - Reliability and fault-tolerance - Scalability and performance - Energy- and power-aware techniques - Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling - Security, Privacy, and Information assurance - Storage and file systems - Concurrent software execution on heterogeneous infrastructure - Dynamic configuration and self- or autonomic- management of middleware - Interactions between middleware and systems - Real-time solutions and quality of service - Case studies on the evaluation and deployment of middleware: challenges, techniques, and lessons learned DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS: - Programming frameworks, parallel programming, and design methodologies for middleware - Empirical and deployment studies for middleware solutions - Debugging, diagnosis and distributed debugging of middleware - Understanding middleware and application behavior, as via probabilistic techniques - Methodologies and tools for middleware design, implementation, verification, and evaluation - Formal methods, verification, and software engineering for middleware - Security and privacy - Retrospective review of middleware paradigms, e.g., object models, aspect orientation, etc. SPECIAL TRACKS Please see the conference website and our EasyChair page for details about submission. https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=middleware2013 Tracks 1-3 are published in the conference proceedings, track 4 in companion proceedings. RESEARCH PAPERS Original research papers are sought on the above topics. EXPERIMENTATION AND DEPLOYMENT PAPERS Also of interest are experience papers describing complete systems, platforms, and papers with comprehensive experimental evaluations of alternative designs and solutions to well-known problems. The emphasis during the evaluation of these papers will be less on the novelty and more on the demonstrated usefulness and potential impact of the contributions, the extensive experimentation involved, the comprehensiveness of the approach, and the quality and weight of the lessons learned (including negative results). BIG-IDEAS PAPERS We also encourage "big ideas papers"; that is papers that have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers, the potential to motivate new research is more important than full experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. A specific submission category will be available within the main conference for these papers. Such papers should clearly indicate their vision; why the idea is revolutionary and not evolutionary; what the major questions still to be answered are; and possible avenues of attack for the community to pursue towards the development of the idea. INDUSTRY SHORT PAPERS The conference strongly encourages submission of papers by industrial practitioners (with or without academic collaborators) focusing on innovations, approaches or case studies of specific relevance to industrial and commercial practice and concern. These papers (up to 6 pages, ACM style) may be submitted to a special industrial track whose Call for Papers will be issued separately. OPEN AVAILABILITY OF DATASETS AND CODE Middleware 2013 authors are encouraged to make their system/library implementations and data sets publicly available for the community's wide benefit as open-source software and their experimental data available as open datasets. This is particularly encouraged for "experimentation and deployment papers". Please discuss your requirements with the conference chairs. ------------------- ORGANIZATION: General Chairs: Gang Huang, Peking University, China Rick Schantz, BBN Technologies, USA Program Committee Chairs: David Eyers, University of Otago, NZ Karsten Schwan, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Industry Chairs: Angelo Corsaro, PrismTech, UK Tiancheng Liu, IBM Research China, China Workshop and Tutorial Chairs: Laurent R?veill?re, LaBRI, University of Bordeaux, France Hailong Sun, Beihang University (BUAA), Beijing, China Demo and Poster Chairs: Songlin Hu, Institute of Computing of CAS, China Zibin Zheng, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China Doctoral Symposium Chairs: Anders Andersen, University of Troms?, Norway Chang Xu, Nanjing University, China Sponsorship Chairs: Xiaojun Ye, Tsinghua University, China Teng Teng, Kingdee Middleware, China Publicity Chairs: Tudor Dumitras, Symantec Research Labs, USA Jatinder Singh, University of Cambridge, UK Wenbo Zhang, Institute of Software of CAS, China Local Arrangements Chair Xuanzhe Liu Peking University, China Web Chair Ying Zhang Peking University, China Registration Chair Yingfei Xiong Peking University, China Program Committees To be announced ------------------- -- Tudor A.

Apparently Thursdays are *very bad* days for deadlines! ************************************************************* ?SYSTOR 2013 Call for papers - Sponsored by Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in cooperation with ACM SIGOPS, USENIX and the Technion Center of Excellence (TCE) http://systor13.systor.org Industrial sponsorship from Google, IBM, Axcient, NetApp, EMC, HP, Riverbed, SAP and Intel We invite you to submit original and innovative papers to SYSTOR 2013, the 6th Annual International Systems and Storage Conference. The conference will take place June 30 - July 2, 2013 in Haifa, Israel, shortly following the ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA 2013) in Tel Aviv. SYSTOR promotes experimental and practical computer systems research including (but not limited to) the following topics: * operating systems, computer architecture, and their interactions * distributed, parallel, and cloud systems * networked, mobile, wireless, peer-to-peer, and sensor systems * runtime systems and compiler/programming-language support * energy/power management * file and storage systems * security, privacy, and trust * virtualization * embedded and real-time systems * fault tolerance, reliability, and availability * deployment, usage, and experience * performance evaluation and workload characterization SYSTOR is a home for high-quality international systems research of a practical nature and welcomes both academic and industrial contributions. We solicit paper submissions in three separate categories: Full papers should report original, previously unpublished high-quality research, and be at most 10 pages of content, including everything except references, which may use additional pages. The program committee will review all submitted papers. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and included in the conference proceedings, to be published in the ACM Digital Library. Short papers should report original, previously unpublished work for which a full paper may not be suitable. Short paper submissions may report on smaller ideas; unconventional ideas that are still in a preliminary stage of development; interesting negative results; experimental (in)validation of previous findings; controversial positions that challenge common wisdom; and fresh approaches for addressing old problems. Short papers may be at most 5 pages, excluding references. They will undergo the same review process as full papers. If accepted, short papers will be allocated a shorter talk slot during the conference and will also be published in the conference proceedings. Highlight papers should contain exciting research results that have been accepted to a recent top-tier systems conference or journal. A small sub-committee will briefly review these submissions and will select the most suitable ones for SYSTOR. The corresponding presentations will then be "replayed" at SYSTOR for the benefit of the local community. A highlight paper submission should include the full citation of the published or accepted paper and a link to it. Accepted submissions will not be published in the proceedings. Proceedings including all (non-highlight) accepted papers will be published by the ACM. Additionally, SYSTOR 2013 will host distinguished keynote speakers, a poster session, and several social events at the conference. Our goal is to provide an excellent forum for interaction across the systems community: international, academic, and industrial, for both students and more established members. Paper submission: Submissions must be in PDF and printable on US letter sized paper. Authors should format their papers with the SIGPLAN template using 10pt font (both LaTeX and MS Word versions are available). LaTeX users: please use the "natbib" package, a link to which is available on the SYSTOR website. Please use the 'preprint' option of the \documentclass (the page numbers it produces are of great help to reviewers). Word users: please use page numbers to assist the reviewers. Submitted papers must NOT have appeared in or be under consideration for appearing in another venue such as a workshop, conference, or journal. Poster submissions: Authors who wish to present their work as posters are required to submit a one-page PDF with a description of their poster (*not* the poster itself). Submissions could represent early work that is not yet ready for submission to a refereed conference or journal, or describe a technical (non-marketing) innovation. Authors of accepted posters are expected to prepare and present their posters.

Through EC-TEL, established and emerging researchers as well as practitioners, entrepreneurs, and technology developers explore new collaborations, strengthen networks, and complement their core experience. While Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) has created enormous changes in schools, universities and at the workplaces, innovations have tended to be unsustainable. Too often, initiatives need a high degree of effort to be sustained, and are consequently endangered when funding stops. Many initiatives now focus on scaling up bottom-up initiatives to create higher and more sustainable impact. These initiatives require an interdisciplinary perspective in TEL research and development, drawing on core disciplines of Computer Science, Education, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Social Science. This blend of research traditions has always been a strength of EC-TEL and its vibrant community. SUBMISSION FORMATS Submissions will be handled through EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ectel2013). All papers will be reviewed through a non-blind review process. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Proceedings will be published by Springer within their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series which is ranked in the ISI Web of Knowledge. The use of the LNCS template is mandatory: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 * Full Papers: max. 14 pages, published in proceedings * Short Papers: max. 6 pages, published in proceeding * Demonstration Papers: max. 4 pages, published in proceedings * Poster Papers: max. 4 pages, 2 page summary published in proceedings Find all details at http://ec-tel.eu/ Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/ectel2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not SPAM.

Feedback Computing is a unique forum built around advancing feedback system theory and practice in modeling, analyzing, designing, and optimizing computing systems. The creation of this workshop represents the growing use of feedback in a broader agenda and is a timely response to the following two trends: 1. Computing systems are growing larger, smarter, and more complex, embedding in the physical world, human interactions, and societal infrastructure. Systematic and feedback-driven approaches are critical to address the dynamic complexity that arises in new fields such as cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, social networks, and mobile applications. 2. Advances in disciplines such as machine learning, mathematical optimization, network theories, decision theories, and data engineering provide new foundations and techniques that empower feedback approaches to address computing systems at scale and to achieve goals such as autonomy, adaptation, stabilization, robustness, or performance optimization. ----------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS The Feedback Computing Workshop seeks original research contributions and position papers on advancing feedback control technologies and their applications in computing systems, broadly defined. Topic of interests include but are not limited to: * Theoretical foundations for feedback computing * New control paradigms and system architecture * Sensing, actuation, and data management in feedback computing * Learning and modeling of computing system dynamics * Design patterns and software engineering * Feedback computing education and awareness * Experiences and best practices from real systems * Applications in domains such as distributed systems, cloud computing, data center resource management, real-time systems, cyber-physical systems, social network, and mobility We encourage research paper submissions expressing original research results, challenge paper submissions motivating new research directions, and application paper submissions elaborating experiences from real systems. In addition, the workshop will leverage extended coffee breaks and lunch break to arrange special meetings and to discuss collaborative research agenda built among the participants. ----------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit three types of papers to emphasize the multiple focuses of this workshop: * Research Papers: Research paper submissions must represent original, unpublished contributions. All submissions should be typeset in two-column format in 10 point type on 12 point (single-spaced) leading, with the text block being no more than 6.5" wide by 9" deep; submission should not exceed 6 pages in length (excluding references). Manuscript templates are available for download from the USENIX templates page. * Challenge Papers: Challenge paper submissions must motivate research challenges with real systems that can take advantage of feedback computing. All submissions should be typeset in two-column format in 10 point type on 12 point (single-spaced) leading, with the text block being no more than 6.5" wide by 9" deep; submission should not exceed 3 pages in length (excluding references). Manuscript templates are available for download from the USENIX templates page. * Application Papers: Application paper submissions must be based on real experience and working systems. All submissions should be formatted as annotated slides?a visual in the upper half of a page and the explanatory text in the lower half?and should not exceed 15 slides in length. All papers are to be submitted via the Web submission form, which will be available here soon, as PDF files. Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. USENIX, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. See the USENIX Conference Submissions Policy for details. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. If you are uncertain whether your submission meets USENIX's guidelines, please contact the program co-chairs, feedback13chairs at usenix.org, or the USENIX office, submissionspolicy at usenix.org. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper in person at the workshop. There will not be copyright-transferred formal proceedings for the workshop. The accepted papers will be available online to registered attendees before the conference and will also be distributed via USB drives at the conference. If your accepted paper should not be published prior to the event, please notify production at usenix.org. The papers will be available online to everyone beginning on June 25, 2013. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication on the USENIX Feedback Computing Workshop '13 Web site; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. One Best Paper Award will be announced at the end of workshop to recognize the current best work in feedback computing. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ORGANIZERS General Chair Yixin Diao, IBM T.J.

Middleware is the software that resides between applications and the underlying architecture and platforms, often with an emphasis on networked computing. The goal of middleware is to facilitate the development of applications by providing higher-level abstractions for better programmability, performance, scalability, security, and a variety of essential features. It is a rapidly evolving and growing field. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 14th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research, technology and experimentation in 2013. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of system platforms and architectures for current and future computing, storage, and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, panel discussions involving academic and industry leaders, poster and demonstration presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops. ------------------- TOPICS Original submissions of research papers on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to (please don?t miss the additional SPECIAL TRACKS listed below): MIDDLEWARE PLATFORMS and USAGE MODELS: Middleware for emerging cloud computing, datacenters, and server farms Middleware for data intensive computing, in the enterprise and high performance domains Middleware for Internet applications and social networks Middleware for Web services, Web service composition, and SOA Event-based, publish/subscribe, and message-oriented middleware Middleware for high end machines and applications Middleware for mobile devices, ubiquitous, and mobile computing Middleware for sensor networks and embedded systems Middleware support for multimedia and tele-immersion Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware approaches Middleware solutions for distributed databases Peer-to-peer middleware solutions Middleware for social computing, social software, and crowdsourcing SYSTEMS ISSUES FOR MIDDLEWARE: Reliability and fault-tolerance Scalability and performance Energy- and power-aware techniques Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling Security, Privacy, and Information assurance Storage and file systems Concurrent software execution on heterogeneous infrastructure Dynamic configuration and self- or autonomic- management of middleware Interactions between middleware and systems Real-time solutions and quality of service Case studies on the evaluation and deployment of middleware: challenges, techniques, and lessons learned DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS: Programming frameworks, parallel programming, and design methodologies for middleware Empirical and deployment studies for middleware solutions Debugging, diagnosis and distributed debugging of middleware Understanding middleware and application behavior, as via probabilistic techniques Methodologies and tools for middleware design, implementation, verification, and evaluation Formal methods, verification, and software engineering for middleware Security and privacy Retrospective review of middleware paradigms, e.g., object models, aspect orientation, etc. ------------------- SPECIAL TRACKS Please see the conference website and our EasyChair page for details about submission. https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=middleware2013 Tracks 1-3 are published in the conference proceedings, track 4 in companion proceedings. (1) RESEARCH PAPERS Original research papers are sought on the above topics. (2) EXPERIMENTATION AND DEPLOYMENT PAPERS Also of interest are experience papers describing complete systems, platforms, and papers with comprehensive experimental evaluations of alternative designs and solutions to well-known problems. The emphasis during the evaluation of these papers will be less on the novelty and more on the demonstrated usefulness and potential impact of the contributions, the extensive experimentation involved, the comprehensiveness of the approach, and the quality and weight of the lessons learned (including negative results). (3) BIG-IDEAS PAPERS We also encourage "big ideas papers"; that is papers that have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers, the potential to motivate new research is more important than full experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. A specific submission category will be available within the main conference for these papers. Such papers should clearly indicate their vision; why the idea is revolutionary and not evolutionary; what the major questions still to be answered are; and possible avenues of attack for the community to pursue towards the development of the idea. (4) INDUSTRY SHORT PAPERS The conference strongly encourages submission of papers by industrial practitioners (with or without academic collaborators) focusing on innovations, approaches or case studies of specific relevance to industrial and commercial practice and concern. These papers (up to 6 pages, ACM style) may be submitted to a special industrial track whose Call for Papers will be issued separately. PUBLICATION IN THE MIDDLEWARE 2013 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS The Middleware 2013 conference proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Papers should not exceed 20 pages in length, including the abstract, all figures, tables, and references. Papers should include a short abstract and up to six keywords. Submitted papers should adhere to the formatting instructions of the Springer LNCS Style. Please note that submissions are single-blind: authors' names should appear. (Note that the process for publication in the Middleware companion proceedings will be explained in the relevant, specific CFP, e.g. Industry short papers, Doctoral workshop, etc.) Papers should be submitted to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=middleware2013 AWARDS The Program Committee may, at its discretion, decide to award a Best Student Paper Award and a Best Paper Award to outstanding research contributions. If the primary author of a paper is a student, please identify this in the submission process. OPEN AVAILABILITY OF DATASETS AND CODE Middleware 2013 authors are encouraged to make their system/library implementations and data sets publicly available for the community's wide benefit as open-source software and their experimental data available as open datasets. This is particularly encouraged for "experimentation and deployment papers". Please discuss your requirements with the conference chairs. ------------------- ORGANIZATION General Chairs: Gang Huang, Peking University, China Rick Schantz, BBN Technologies, USA Program Committee Chairs: David Eyers, University of Otago, NZ Karsten Schwan, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Industry Chairs: Angelo Corsaro, PrismTech, UK Tiancheng Liu, IBM Research China, China Workshop and Tutorial Chairs: Laurent R?veill?re, LaBRI, University of Bordeaux, France Hailong Sun, Beihang University (BUAA), Beijing, China Demo and Poster Chairs: Songlin Hu, Institute of Computing of CAS, China Zibin Zheng, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China Doctoral Symposium Chairs: Anders Andersen, University of Troms?, Norway Chang Xu, Nanjing University, China Sponsorship Chairs: Xiaojun Ye, Tsinghua University, China Teng Teng, Kingdee Middleware, China Publicity Chairs: Tudor Dumitras, Symantec Research Labs, USA Jatinder Singh, University of Cambridge, UK Wenbo Zhang, Institute of Software of CAS, China Local Arrangements Chair: Xuanzhe Liu, Peking University, China Web Chair: Ying Zhang, Peking University, China Registration Chair: Yingfei Xiong, Peking University, China ------------------- -- Tudor A.

Short papers should promote current work, research, practices, experiences, and issues that are not at a mature stage to be submitted as full papers. As so, they represent a good way for fast tracking new technical work in progress. Short papers will be presented in a special session and will be published in the conference proceedings. Posters should visually express an idea, and experience or research results in an appealing form. Work presented in a poster does not have to be fully developed, as so it represents a manner for receiving feedback on new ideas. Furthermore, an interesting poster will encourage interaction among conference participants, favor discussion, and possibly promote future collaborations. Posters will be displayed at the conference. Submissions Short papers must not be more than 4 pages and poster proposals not more than 2 pages. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by the short paper and poster committee. All submitted short papers must conform to the Springer LNCS author guidelines found at: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0.164.7.72376.0). Publication is dependent on at least one author registering to attend PROFES 2013. Submissions should be submitted to the easychair account on or before the deadline https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=profes2013 Important Dates (Firm) Short papers and Posters Submission deadline: April 13, 2013 Notification of Acceptance: April 24, 2013 Camera Ready: May 1, 2013 Short Papers and Posters chair Maria Teresa Baldassarre, University of Bari, Italy, baldassarre at di.uniba.it -------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not SPAM.

The doctoral consortium will offer Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in an interdisciplinary and international atmosphere. Prominent professors and researchers in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning will provide feedback to the selected papers and participate actively and contribute to the discussions. The Doctoral Consortium will take place immediately before the EC-TEL 2013 conference. The intention of this doctoral consortium is to support and inspire Ph.D. students during their ongoing research efforts. Therefore, it is necessary that authors will have neither achieved their Ph.D. degree nor officially submitted their thesis before the doctoral consortium (September 2013). To enforce this rule we require authors to disclose their expected graduation date and their advisor's name when submitting. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM ELIGIBILITY AND APPLICATION PROCESS In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions should address specifically doctoral work. Therefore, the following elements have to be addressed in the papers: * A clear formulation of the research question. * An identification of the significant problems in the field of research. * An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of existing solutions. * A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far. * A sketch of the applied research methodology. * A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem solution. * A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem. Accepted students should prepare: 1. An introduction of themselves and their Ph.D. project for the introductory session. Duration: 60 sec max. 2. A 15-20 minute presentation of their Ph.D. project to be used for introducing discussion about their project and its main issues during the small group sessions. 3. Students are also invited to prepare a poster about their Ph.D. for the EC-TEL 2013 poster session. Submissions should be uploaded to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dcectel13 The maximum length of DC submissions should not exceed 6 pages. All submissions will be reviewed after acceptance by at least two senior researchers and one of the accepted doctoral candidates. Additionally, two discussants, members of the doctoral consortium committee, will be appointed to each paper. Discussant comments will be followed by a plenary discussion of the paper. At the end of the consortium there will be a general discussion, including a brainstorming session about current and future research topics in the area.

Middleware is the software that resides between applications and the underlying architecture and platforms, often with an emphasis on networked computing. The goal of middleware is to facilitate the development of applications by providing higher-level abstractions for better programmability, performance, scalability, security, and a variety of essential features. It is a rapidly evolving and growing field. Following the success of past conferences in this series, the 14th International Middleware Conference will be the premier event for middleware research, technology and experimentation in 2013. The scope of the conference is the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of system platforms and architectures for current and future computing, storage, and communication environments. Highlights of the conference will include a high quality technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, panel discussions involving academic and industry leaders, poster and demonstration presentations, a doctoral symposium, and workshops. ------------------- TOPICS Original submissions of research papers on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to (please don?t miss the additional SPECIAL TRACKS listed below): MIDDLEWARE PLATFORMS and USAGE MODELS: Middleware for emerging cloud computing, datacenters, and server farms Middleware for data intensive computing, in the enterprise and high performance domains Middleware for Internet applications and social networks Middleware for Web services, Web service composition, and SOA Event-based, publish/subscribe, and message-oriented middleware Middleware for high end machines and applications Middleware for mobile devices, ubiquitous, and mobile computing Middleware for sensor networks and embedded systems Middleware support for multimedia and tele-immersion Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective middleware approaches Middleware solutions for distributed databases Peer-to-peer middleware solutions Middleware for social computing, social software, and crowdsourcing SYSTEMS ISSUES FOR MIDDLEWARE: Reliability and fault-tolerance Scalability and performance Energy- and power-aware techniques Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling Security, Privacy, and Information assurance Storage and file systems Concurrent software execution on heterogeneous infrastructure Dynamic configuration and self- or autonomic- management of middleware Interactions between middleware and systems Real-time solutions and quality of service Case studies on the evaluation and deployment of middleware: challenges, techniques, and lessons learned DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND TOOLS: Programming frameworks, parallel programming, and design methodologies for middleware Empirical and deployment studies for middleware solutions Debugging, diagnosis and distributed debugging of middleware Understanding middleware and application behavior, as via probabilistic techniques Methodologies and tools for middleware design, implementation, verification, and evaluation Formal methods, verification, and software engineering for middleware Security and privacy Retrospective review of middleware paradigms, e.g., object models, aspect orientation, etc. ------------------- SPECIAL TRACKS Please see the conference website and our EasyChair page for details about submission. https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=middleware2013 Tracks 1-3 are published in the conference proceedings, track 4 in companion proceedings. 1. RESEARCH PAPERS Original research papers are sought on the above topics. 2. EXPERIMENTATION AND DEPLOYMENT PAPERS Also of interest are experience papers describing complete systems, platforms, and papers with comprehensive experimental evaluations of alternative designs and solutions to well-known problems. The emphasis during the evaluation of these papers will be less on the novelty and more on the demonstrated usefulness and potential impact of the contributions, the extensive experimentation involved, the comprehensiveness of the approach, and the quality and weight of the lessons learned (including negative results). 3. BIG-IDEAS PAPERS We also encourage "big ideas papers"; that is papers that have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers, the potential to motivate new research is more important than full experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. A specific submission category will be available within the main conference for these papers. Such papers should clearly indicate their vision; why the idea is revolutionary and not evolutionary; what the major questions still to be answered are; and possible avenues of attack for the community to pursue towards the development of the idea. 4. INDUSTRY SHORT PAPERS The conference strongly encourages submission of papers by industrial practitioners (with or without academic collaborators) focusing on innovations, approaches or case studies of specific relevance to industrial and commercial practice and concern. These papers (up to 6 pages, ACM style) may be submitted to a special industrial track whose Call for Papers will be issued separately. ------------------- OPEN AVAILABILITY OF DATASETS AND CODE Middleware 2013 authors are encouraged to make their system/library implementations and data sets publicly available for the community's wide benefit as open-source software and their experimental data available as open datasets. This is particularly encouraged for "experimentation and deployment papers". Please discuss your requirements with the conference chairs. ------------------- PUBLICATION IN THE MIDDLEWARE 2013 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS The Middleware 2013 conference proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Papers should not exceed 20 pages in length, including the abstract, all figures, tables, and references. Papers should include a short abstract and up to six keywords. Submitted papers should adhere to the formatting instructions of the Springer LNCS Style. Please note that submissions are single-blind: authors' names should appear. (Note that the process for publication in the Middleware companion proceedings will be explained in the relevant, specific CFP, e.g. Industry short papers, Doctoral workshop, etc.) Papers should be submitted to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=middleware2013 ------------------- AWARDS The Program Committee may, at its discretion, decide to award a Best Student Paper Award and a Best Paper Award to outstanding research contributions. If the primary author of a paper is a student, please identify this in the submission process. ------------------- ORGANIZATION General Chairs: Gang Huang, Peking University, China Rick Schantz, BBN Technologies, USA Program Committee Chairs: David Eyers, University of Otago, NZ Karsten Schwan, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Industry Chairs: Angelo Corsaro, PrismTech, UK Tiancheng Liu, IBM Research China, China Workshop and Tutorial Chairs: Laurent R?veill?re, LaBRI, University of Bordeaux, France Hailong Sun, Beihang University (BUAA), Beijing, China Demo and Poster Chairs: Songlin Hu, Institute of Computing of CAS, China Zibin Zheng, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China Doctoral Symposium Chairs: Anders Andersen, University of Troms?, Norway Chang Xu, Nanjing University, China Sponsorship Chairs: Xiaojun Ye, Tsinghua University, China Teng Teng, Kingdee Middleware, China Publicity Chairs: Tudor Dumitras, Symantec Research Labs, USA Jatinder Singh, University of Cambridge, UK Wenbo Zhang, Institute of Software of CAS, China Local Arrangements Chair: Xuanzhe Liu, Peking University, China Web Chair: Ying Zhang, Peking University, China Registration Chair: Yingfei Xiong, Peking University, China ------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE Lisa Amini, IBM, Ireland Jean Bacon, University of Cambridge, UK Ken Birman, Cornell University, USA Gordon Blair, Lancaster University, UK Rajkumar Buyya, The University of Melbourne, Australia Roy Campbell, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA Antonio Carzaniga, University of Lugano, Switzerland Ant?nio Casimiro, University of Lisboa, Portugal Abhishek Chandra, University of Minnesota, USA Lucy Cherkasova, HP Labs, USA Brian Cooper, Google, USA Dilma Da Silva, Qualcomm, USA Sudipto Das, Microsoft Research, USA Xavier D?fago, JAIST, Japan Tudor Dumitras, Symantec Research Labs, USA Frank Eliassen, University of Oslo, Norway Patrick Eugster, Purdue University, USA Pascal Felber, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland Paulo Ferreira, INESC ID / Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal Jose Fortes, University of Florida, USA Davide Frey, INRIA, France Chris Gill, Washington University, USA Xiaohui Gu, North Carolina State University, USA Rachid Guerraoui, EPFL, Switzerland Matti Hiltunen, AT&T Labs Research, USA K?vin Huguenin, EPFL, Switzerland Valerie Issarny, INRIA, France Arun Iyengar, IBM Research, USA Hans-Arno Jacobsen, University of Toronto, Canada Wouter Joosen, KU Leuven, Belgium Vana Kalogeraki, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Bettina Kemme, McGill University, Canada Anne-Marie Kermarrec, INRIA, France Fabio Kon, University of S?o Paulo, Brazil Vibhore Kumar, IBM Research, USA Ying Li, Peking University, China Harry Li, Facebook, USA Joseph Loyall, Raytheon BBN Technologies, USA Sebastian Michel, Saarland University, Germany Dejan Milojicic, HP Labs, USA Elie Najm, Telecom-ParisTech, France Priya Narasimhan, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Nikos Ntarmos, University of Glasgow, UK Adam Oliner, University of California, Berkeley, USA Esther Pacitti, LIRMM and INRIA, University of Montpellier 2, France Peter Pietzuch, Imperial College London, UK Padmanabhan Pillai, Intel Labs, USA Rick Schlichting, AT&T Labs Research, USA Douglas Schmidt, Vanderbilt University, USA Swami Sivasubramanian, Amazon, USA Mike Spreitzer, IBM Research, USA Peter Triantafillou, University of Glasgow, UK Lu?s Veiga, INESC ID / Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal Nalini Venkatasubramanian, University of California Irvine, USA Stratis Viglas, University of Edinburgh, UK Spyros Voulgaris, VU University, Netherlands Dave Ward, Amazon, USA Huaimin Wang, National University of Defense Technology, China Charles Zhang, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China Xiaoyun Zhu, VMware, USA ------------------- -- Tudor A.

The doctoral consortium will offer Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in an interdisciplinary and international atmosphere. Prominent professors and researchers in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning will provide feedback to the selected papers and participate actively and contribute to the discussions. The Doctoral Consortium will take place immediately before the EC-TEL 2013 conference. The intention of this doctoral consortium is to support and inspire Ph.D. students during their ongoing research efforts. Therefore, it is necessary that authors will have neither achieved their Ph.D. degree nor officially submitted their thesis before the doctoral consortium (September 2013). To enforce this rule we require authors to disclose their expected graduation date and their advisor's name when submitting. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM ELIGIBILITY AND APPLICATION PROCESS In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions should address specifically doctoral work. Therefore, the following elements have to be addressed in the papers: * A clear formulation of the research question. * An identification of the significant problems in the field of research. * An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of existing solutions. * A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far. * A sketch of the applied research methodology. * A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem solution. * A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem. Accepted students should prepare: 1. An introduction of themselves and their Ph.D. project for the introductory session. Duration: 60 sec max. 2. A 15-20 minute presentation of their Ph.D. project to be used for introducing discussion about their project and its main issues during the small group sessions. 3. Students are also invited to prepare a poster about their Ph.D. for the EC-TEL 2013 poster session. Submissions should be uploaded to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dcectel13 The maximum length of DC submissions should not exceed 6 pages. All submissions will be reviewed after acceptance by at least two senior researchers and one of the accepted doctoral candidates. Additionally, two discussants, members of the doctoral consortium committee, will be appointed to each paper. Discussant comments will be followed by a plenary discussion of the paper. At the end of the consortium there will be a general discussion, including a brainstorming session about current and future research topics in the area.

Feedback Computing is a unique forum built around advancing feedback system theory and practice in modeling, analyzing, designing, and optimizing computing systems. The creation of this workshop represents the growing use of feedback in a broader agenda and is a timely response to the following two trends: (1) Computing systems are growing larger, smarter, and more complex, embedding in physical world, human interactions, and societal infrastructure. Systematic and feedback-driven approaches are critical to address the dynamical complexity arise at new fields such as cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, social networks, and mobile applications. (2) Advances in disciplines such as machine learning, mathematical optimization, network theories, decision theories, and data engineering provide new foundations and techniques that empower feedback approaches to address computing systems at scale and to achieve goals such as autonomy, adaptation, stabilization, robustness, or performance optimization. The Feedback Computing Workshop seeks original research contributions and position papers on advancing feedback control technologies and their applications in computing systems, broadly defined. Topics of interests include but are not limited to - Theoretical foundations for feedback computing - New control paradigms and system architecture - Sensing, actuation, and data management in feedback computing - Learning and modeling of computing system dynamics - Design patterns and software engineering - Feedback computing education and awareness - Experiences and best practices from real systems - Applications in domains such as distributed systems, cloud computing, data center resource management, real-time systems, cyber-physical systems, social network, and mobility. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair Yixin Diao (IBM T.J.

Through EC-TEL, established and emerging researchers as well as practitioners, entrepreneurs, and technology developers explore new collaborations, strengthen networks, and compliment their core experience. There is no doubt that Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) has created enormous changes in schools, universities and at the workplaces. However, these innovations have tended to be unsustainable. Too often, initiatives need a high degree of effort to be sustained, and are consequently endangered when funding stops. At the same time, mobile and social information and communication technologies are fundamentally changing our lives. Nowadays we use them naturally to keep in contact with our friends, to seek information, to buy things and to work. In many domains, these emerging technologies demonstrate that scaling is possible. But few educational institutions or companies have taken these technologies up in a systematic way to include them into their learning strategy. To address these challenges the theme of EC-TEL 2013 is "Scaling up learning for sustained impact". In this spirit, we want to offer you a chance to present existing prototypes and work in progress to ECTEL community to create sustained impact, dissemination and create potentials for scaling up the use to a wider audience. Extended demonstrations of prototypes and "TEL in action" will spark discussions between different but complimentary groups, and be animated and disseminated through live internet radio broadcasts, videos, etc. EC-TEL 2013 will examine and improve the transitions between research, practice and industry. In this special call we invite contributions for demonstrations and posters that can be exhibited and discussed along the conference. Details of conference topics are available at http://ec-tel.eu/, and in this second call especially we encourage highly visual and engaging demos, such as Serious Games, Virtual Worlds, Immersive Multimedia, and Collaborative Learning Systems. Posters report on significant work in progress. We will have an interactive poster session in which you can present your work and elicit feedback from EC-TEL participants. A demonstration is your chance to fully engage EC-TEL attendees at a personal level by letting them see, touch, squeeze, or hear your visions for the future of TEL, or demonstrate highly interactive "TEL in Action" (e.g. through videos or real-time learning experiences). We expect that your Demonstration will be a reliably running prototype of your vision that is ready to be tried out, questioned and interacted with. You need to submit a concise description of your prototype, clearly showing how your technological innovation realises a clear learning innovation. Please also indicate any special technical requirements needed for the demonstration at the conference location. At the conference, all accepted demonstrations will be invited to participate in the "EC-TEL 2013 Demo sprint contest". The audience of the "EC-TEL 2013 Demo sprint contest" will vote for the best EC-TEL demonstration in this session and the winner will be awarded with a prize from Online Educa Berlin Conference (see below). FIRST PRIZE The first prize for the demo sprint contest is sponsored by ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN 2013 and consists of: - A free conference pass to attend ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN 2013 - The opportunity to present the demo as a speaker in the Talking Heads Sessions at OEB 2013 - A newsletter-story on the winner IMPORTANT DATES Round 2 poster & demonstration submission: July 5th 2013 Round 2 poster & demonstration notification: July 12th 2013 Optional 2-minute video of demonstration: Mid August 2013 [exact date will be published soon] SUBMISSION FORMATS Submissions of 1 page descriptions of demos and posters will be handled through EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=demosectel2013). The posters and demonstrations accepted in this second special call will not be published in the proceedings but will be exhibited during the whole conference and be present at the ECTEL website. Demonstrations accepted in this call will also participate in the "EC-TEL 2013 Demo sprint contest" and are eligible to win the first prize.

The largest is Kodiak (https://www.nmc-probe.org/wiki/Machines:Kodiak), which is 1000 nodes (two core x86, 8GB DRAM, two 1TB disks, 1GE and 8Gbps IB) donated by Los Alamos National Laboratory. Today Kodiak is hosting researchers from Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon and Los Alamos. Princeton researchers have published results from Kodiak at the most recent NSDI (Wyatt Lloyd, "Stronger Semantics for Low-Latency Geo-Replicated Storage", NSDI 2013). On PRObE staging clusters are researchers from U Central Florida, UT Austin, Georgia Tech and Carnegie Mellon. PRObE resources are intended for (infrastructure) systems researchers committed to public release of their research results, typically publishing in distributed systems (eg. OSDI or SOSP), cloud computing (e.g. SOCC), supercomputing (e.g. SC or HPDC), storage (e.g. FAST), or networking (e.g. NSDI). PRObE resources are managed by Emulab (www.emulab.org) a cluster manager for allocating physical nodes that has been in use for systems research for over a decade (Brian White, "An Experimental Environment for Distributed Systems and Networks," OSDI 2002). Users start by porting and demonstrating their code on a 100-node staging cluster such as Denali built from the same equipment donation from Los Alamos. With demonstrated success on a staging cluster, and a compelling research goal, Kodiak can be requested and allocated, possibly exclusively, for hours to days. To start using PRObE resources: - visit www.nmc-probe.org to learn about the resources - visit portal.nmc-probe.org to request a PRObE-specific Emulab account - have a research leader or faculty member get an account and define a project on portal.nmc-probe.org - use Portal to get onto Denali, to allocate a single node experiment, login into that node to customize and resave the OS image for your project, then launch a multi-node experiment to demonstrate your system at <100 scale - use https://www.nmc-probe.org/request/ to request a large allocation on Kodiak (this is a HotCRP paper review web site, where your paper is a short justification for your research, your preparedness for using Kodiak, and your credientials and appropriateness for using NSF resources) - PRObE managers will review, approve and schedule your use of large allocations of Kodiak time In a matter of weeks another style of large PRObE resource will come online. Susitna is 34 nodes of 64 core x86 processors, for a total of more than 2000 x86 cores. Susitna also has NVidia donated K20 GPU coprocessors with 2496 cuda cores each, for a total of 84,864 cuda cores. With 128 GB DRAM, a hard disk and an SSD each, Susitna nodes are interconnected by 40Gbps ethernet, 40 Gbps infiniband and 1Gbps ethernet. NSF PRObE resources will be available for at least the next two years. All uses of PRObE resources are obligated to publish their results, either in conferences or one their web sites, and acknowledge NSF PRObE resources used in these publications.

Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value). Various technologies are being discussed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud computing platforms, and MapReduce. Distributed systems is a classical research discipline investigating various distributed computing technologies and applications such as cloud computing and MapReduce. With new paradigms and technolog! ies, distributed systems research keeps going with new innovative outcomes from both industry and academia. For example, wide deployment of MapReduce is a distributed programming paradigm and an associated implementation to support distributed computing over large datasets on cloud. BDSE (Big Data Science and Engineering) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data, Distributed Systems and broadly related areas.

The conference series is affiliated with the European Society for Socially Embedded Technologies (EUSSET). CSCW is committed to grounding technological development and systems design in an understanding of "the specifics of practical, situated action". ECSCW remains committed to this program. ECSCW has been instrumental in defining the agenda of CSCW research since the beginning, and it still is. It has been the key forum for identifying and exploring issues such as ? the situated nature of action and interaction and its implications; ? the role of ethnography in CSCW and in computing in general, ? the role and nature of 'awareness' in cooperative work; ? the role of paper-based and other material artifacts in cooperative work; ? highly flexible collaboration infrastructures and tailorable systems. The ECSCW conferences are single-track conferences in order to facilitate critical discussion across the disciplinary and national subdivisions of the field. The acceptance rate for papers has been between 20 and 25%. The ECSCW conference is sponsored by the ECSCW Foundation (sometimes also called the European CSCW Foundation). The role of the ECSCW Foundation is to foster research on computer-suppoted cooperative work in Europe and globally, primarily by safeguarding and facilitating the continuation of the ECSCW conference series.

Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value). Various technologies are being discussed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud computing platforms, and MapReduce. Distributed systems is a classical research discipline investigating various distributed computing technologies and applications such as cloud computing and MapReduce. With new paradigms and technolog! ies, distributed systems research keeps going with new innovative outcomes from both industry and academia. For example, wide deployment of MapReduce is a distributed programming paradigm and an associated implementation to support distributed computing over large datasets on cloud. BDSE (Big Data Science and Engineering) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data, Distributed Systems and broadly related areas.

Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value). Various technologies are being discussed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud computing platforms, and MapReduce. Distributed systems is a classical research discipline investigating various distributed computing technologies and applications such as cloud computing and MapReduce. With new paradigms and technolog! ies, distributed systems research keeps going with new innovative outcomes from both industry and academia. For example, wide deployment of MapReduce is a distributed programming paradigm and an associated implementation to support distributed computing over large datasets on cloud. BDSE (Big Data Science and Engineering) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data, Distributed Systems and broadly related areas.

Difficulties include, but are not limited to, capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics, and visualizing. Working with data sets of increasing scale allows analysts to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, and combat crime." Big data size is beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time, hence demanding new innovative solutions. It has attracted a high degree of interdisciplinary interest internationally. This special issue is focusing on this new strategic research area to address challenges about big data. Original andunpublished high-quality research results are solicited to explore various challenging topics that include, but are not limited to: ? Big Data theoretical models, standards and theories ? Innovative computer software and hardware architecture for Big Data processing ? Big Data mining, advanced analytics and visualization ? Large big data stream processing ? Large-scale incremental, distributed and federated datasets ? NoSQL data stores and DB scalability ? Big Data sharing and privacy preserving ? Big Data placement, scheduling, and optimization ? MapReduce and new programming models for Big Data processing ? Cloud Computing, cluster and high performance computing and storage infrastructure for Big Data ? Performance characterization, evaluation and optimization ? Simulation and debugging of Big Data systems and tools ? Security, privacy, reliability and trust in Big Data ? Volume, Velocity, Variety and Value of Big Data ? Multiple source data processing and integration for Big Data ? Resource scheduling and Service Level Agreement for Big Data processing ? Distributed file systems, storage and computation management for Big Data ? Large-scale scientific workflow in support of Big Data processing ? Big data applications such as Medicine, Healthcare, Finance, Business, Retailing, Transportation and Science.

IEEE Transaction on Emerging Topics in Computing (TETC) seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on *Big Data**.* CFP Website: http://www.swinflow.org/si/BigDataCFP.htm. Big Data consists of datasets that grow so large that they become awkward to work with using on-hand computer data and computation management tools. Difficulties include, but are not limited to, capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics, and visualizing. Working with data sets of increasing scale allows analysts to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, and combat crime." Big data size is beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time, hence demanding new innovative solutions. It has attracted a high degree of interdisciplinary interest internationally. This special issue is focusing on this new strategic research area to address challenges about big data. Original andunpublished high-quality research results are solicited to explore various challenging topics that include, but are not limited to: ? Big Data theoretical models, standards and theories ? Innovative computer software and hardware architecture for Big Data processing ? Big Data mining, advanced analytics and visualization ? Large big data stream processing ? Large-scale incremental, distributed and federated datasets ? NoSQL data stores and DB scalability ? Big Data sharing and privacy preserving ? Big Data placement, scheduling, and optimization ? MapReduce and new programming models for Big Data processing ? Cloud Computing, cluster and high performance computing and storage infrastructure for Big Data ? Performance characterization, evaluation and optimization ? Simulation and debugging of Big Data systems and tools ? Security, privacy, reliability and trust in Big Data ? Volume, Velocity, Variety and Value of Big Data ? Multiple source data processing and integration for Big Data ? Resource scheduling and Service Level Agreement for Big Data processing ? Distributed file systems, storage and computation management for Big Data ? Large-scale scientific workflow in support of Big Data processing ? Big data applications such as Medicine, Healthcare, Finance, Business, Retailing, Transportation and Science.

However, this new computing paradigm also poses a unique set of challenges to both cloud providers and users. On the one hand, cloud providers need to ensure that resources being provided are highly available and deliver high performance, while optimizing cloud infrastructure to reduce their operational costs. On the other hand, cloud users need to ensure that their applications receive the best performance from the cloud, while maintaining their budgetary constraints and the terms of any Service Level Agreements (SLAs) they have with their cloud providers. Given the scale of cloud deployment, systematic analytical approaches are critically needed to provide insights to both providers and users to achieve their respective goals. For instance, cloud providers need to constantly be aware of the running status and/or anomalies in functionality from their cloud, to be able to quickly fix any issues that may arise, to adjust physical resource allocations to ensure that their customers get best performance, or plan which services to offer to get the best return on investment. Similarly, cloud users need to understand the workload to be deployed into the cloud, plan the deployment in a cost-effective way, or ascertain the flexibility and service quality provided by different cloud environments and use this to decide their deployment strategy. Analytics can play a pivotal role in all these scenarios. By gathering insights from the large amount of data from the cloud, both cloud providers and consumers can develop analytical approaches to achieving their respective objectives in spite of the scale that clouds provide. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers in the related fields to exchange ideas, and share their experiences in developing analytics to better deploy, operate and use the cloud. Specifically, we seek and wish to foster research contributions that draw on statistical analysis, analytical modeling, and machine learning to develop novel solutions in this problem area. **TOPICS OF INTEREST** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: ? Cloud workload measurement and analysis ? Workload behavior modeling ? Analytics for application deployment in cloud ? Performance modeling of cloud applications ? Cloud performance benchmarking ? Resource utilization optimization ? Tracing and problem identification in cloud systems ? Log and monitoring data analysis ? Problem diagnosis and troubleshooting ? Security and intrusion detection ? Reliability engineering, fault management, and disaster recovery ? Design and implementation of analytics systems ? Business optimization in cloud operations **PAPER SUBMISSION** The IWCA workshop invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE style (single-spaced 2-column text using 10-point size type on A4 paper). Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. ? Electronic submission only via the IWCA14 Submission site ? All selected papers will be peer-reviewed ? For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register and present the paper at the workshop ? All accepted papers will be published with IEEE Xplore. ?

Moreover there is a noticeable spillover within other industries (e.g. manufacturing, entertainment industry) enabling new business models: companies bundle their physical products and software services into solutions (e.g. using subscription models or in-app purchases) and start to sell independent software products in addition to physical products. Software business refers to commercial activities in and around the software industry, aimed at generating income from the delivery of software products and software services. Although the software business shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherent features making it a challenging domain for research. In particular software companies have to depend on one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers or a unique experience to their users. Moreover recent developments like the emerging app economy offer a variety of opportunities for entrepreneurs or start-up companies. The recent acquisition of the three-year old Finnish mobile game startup Supercell with the total value of 2.2 billion Euros shows that the future of software is not only in utility and but also in entertainment and increasing freetime of people globally. This will have a profound effect on software business and requires novel business models and new approaches to software product development as well. ICSOB 2014 addresses researchers and practitioners, who are concerned with software business in different ways as well as the start-up community, which is increasingly focusing on mobile and social software. The main theme of 2014 focuses on speeding up the time from idea to value delivery, towards continuous delivery of added value. Conference Topics You are invited to submit papers addressing contemporary issues emerging at the intersection of the software and business domains, broadly defined. Both papers reporting research results and industrial experiences are welcome. Invited are original submissions on the topics listed below, including but not limited to: Special sessions this year: * Speeding up time-to-market: towards continuous value delivery * Business models in game and entertainment software Regular themes of the conference series: * Software Platforms and Ecosystems * Corporate networks between software companies / Software Supply Networks * Business impacts and business models of Cloud Computing * Software Product Management * Software business in the future * Licensing, Intellectual Property and Patent Issues (IP modularity) * Business models for software startups and existing software companies * App Economy * Productization, Servification, and Servitization * Impact of Megatrends on software business (e.g. Customization) * Effects of business models on software development * Global and cultural aspects of software business * Mobile software business trends Submission Instructions Full research papers (15 pages), short papers (6 pages), industrial track presentations (abstract) and posters are all welcome. Accepted full papers and short papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer as a volume in Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series (if at least one author of the paper attends the conference and presents the paper). PhD students are invited to submit research abstracts and present and discuss their work at the Doctoral Symposium. A separate CFP for the Doctoral Symposium will be published later.

However, this new computing paradigm also poses a unique set of challenges to both cloud providers and users. On the one hand, cloud providers need to ensure that resources being provided are highly available and deliver high performance, while optimizing cloud infrastructure to reduce their operational costs. On the other hand, cloud users need to ensure that their applications receive the best performance from the cloud, while maintaining their budgetary constraints and the terms of any Service Level Agreements (SLAs) they have with their cloud providers. Given the scale of cloud deployment, systematic analytical approaches are critically needed to provide insights to both providers and users to achieve their respective goals. For instance, cloud providers need to constantly be aware of the running status and/or anomalies in functionality from their cloud, to be able to quickly fix any issues that may arise, to adjust physical resource allocations to ensure that their customers get best performance, or plan which services to offer to get the best return on investment. Similarly, cloud users need to understand the workload to be deployed into the cloud, plan the deployment in a cost-effective way, or ascertain the flexibility and service quality provided by different cloud environments and use this to decide their deployment strategy. Analytics can play a pivotal role in all these scenarios. By gathering insights from the large amount of data from the cloud, both cloud providers and consumers can develop analytical approaches to achieving their respective objectives in spite of the scale that clouds provide. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers in the related fields to exchange ideas, and share their experiences in developing analytics to better deploy, operate and use the cloud. Specifically, we seek and wish to foster research contributions that draw on statistical analysis, analytical modeling, and machine learning to develop novel solutions in this problem area. *TOPICS OF INTEREST* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: ? Cloud workload measurement and analysis ? Workload behavior modeling ? Analytics for application deployment in cloud ? Performance modeling of cloud applications ? Cloud performance benchmarking ? Resource utilization optimization ? Tracing and problem identification in cloud systems ? Log and monitoring data analysis ? Problem diagnosis and troubleshooting ? Security and intrusion detection ? Reliability engineering, fault management, and disaster recovery ? Design and implementation of analytics systems ? Business optimization in cloud operations *PAPER SUBMISSION* The IWCA workshop invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE style (single-spaced 2-column text using 10-point size type on A4 paper). Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. ? Electronic submission only via the IWCA14 Submission site ? All selected papers will be peer-reviewed ? For each accepted paper, at least one author is required to register and present the paper at the workshop ?

Moreover there is a noticeable spillover within other industries (e.g. manufacturing, entertainment industry) enabling new business models: companies bundle their physical products and software services into solutions (e.g. using subscription models or in-app purchases) and start to sell independent software products in addition to physical products. Software business refers to commercial activities in and around the software industry, aimed at generating income from the delivery of software products and software services. Although the software business shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherent features making it a challenging domain for research. In particular software companies have to depend on one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers or a unique experience to their users. Moreover recent developments like the emerging app economy offer a variety of opportunities for entrepreneurs or start-up companies. The recent acquisition of the three-year old Finnish mobile game startup Supercell with the total value of 2.2 billion Euros shows that the future of software is not only in utility and but also in entertainment and increasing freetime of people globally. This will have a profound effect on software business and requires novel business models and new approaches to software product development as well. ICSOB 2014 addresses researchers and practitioners, who are concerned with software business in different ways as well as the start-up community, which is increasingly focusing on mobile and social software. The main theme of 2014 focuses on speeding up the time from idea to value delivery, towards continuous delivery of added value. Conference Topics You are invited to submit papers addressing contemporary issues emerging at the intersection of the software and business domains, broadly defined. Both papers reporting research results and industrial experiences are welcome. Invited are original submissions on the topics listed below, including but not limited to: Special sessions this year: * Speeding up time-to-market: towards continuous value delivery * Business models in game and entertainment software Regular themes of the conference series: * Software Platforms and Ecosystems * Corporate networks between software companies / Software Supply Networks * Business impacts and business models of Cloud Computing * Software Product Management * Software business in the future * Licensing, Intellectual Property and Patent Issues (IP modularity) * Business models for software startups and existing software companies * App Economy * Productization, Servification, and Servitization * Impact of Megatrends on software business (e.g. Customization) * Effects of business models on software development * Global and cultural aspects of software business * Mobile software business trends Submission Instructions Full research papers (15 pages), short papers (6 pages), industrial track presentations (abstract) and posters are all welcome. Accepted full papers and short papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer as a volume in Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series (if at least one author of the paper attends the conference and presents the paper). Extended versions of the best papers selected from ICSOB 2014 will be published in a special issue of Journal of Systems and Software (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-systems-and-software/).

Workshops are intended to provide a forum for the discussion of a specific topic from the field of software business between an international group of researchers. Software business creates a noticeable spillover within other industries (e.g. manufacturing, entertainment industry) enabling new business models: companies bundle their physical products and software services into solutions (e.g. using subscription models or in-app purchases) and start to sell independent software products in addition to physical products. Therefore, we invite workshop proposals that focus on software business in new and emerging industries. Finally, we also warmly welcome workshop proposals aligned with the theme of ICSOB 2014: "Shortening the time-to-market". Each workshop should have at least four paper presentations. The workshop organiser will be responsible for advertising the workshop, reviewing and selecting the papers. Financial assistance for the workshop organiser will be limited to one fee waiver for the conference. Papers accepted for workshops are planned to be published under the CCIS proceedings, http://link.springer.com/search?facet-series=%227899%22&facet-content-type=%22Book%22 . Proposals to organise workshops should include the following information: ? Title of the workshop ? Name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address of the proposer(s). ? A brief introduction of the proposer, explaining his/her qualifications. ? Names of at least three PC members for the workshops ? A description of the topic of the session (not exceeding 100 words) ? A short description on how the session will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors. ? A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Software Business. Please send your proposals to the Program Chairs of ICSOB 2014 and to workshop chair: Casper Lassenius, Aalto University, Finland, workshops at icsob.org Kari Smolander, Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland, workshops at icsob.org Krzysztof Wnuk, Lund University, Sweden, workshops at icsob.org Papers for workshops should be submitted directly to the workshop using our paper submission system. The workshop organizer will be required to use the ICSOB 2014 paper submission engine and to review the papers on basis of the same criteria as those in the main track. The list of papers accepted for a workshop should be sent to the Program Chairs before April 15, 2014. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not SPAM.

Large-scale systems of all types, such as data centers, compute clouds, smart cities, cyber-physical systems, sensor networks, and embedded or pervasive environments, are becoming increasingly complex and burdensome for people to manage. Autonomic computing systems reduce this burden by managing their own behavior in accordance with high-level goals. In autonomic systems, resources and applications are managed to maximize performance and minimize cost, while maintaining predictable and reliable behavior in the face of varying workloads, failures, and malicious threats. Achieving self-management requires and motivates research that spans a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, including distributed systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, modeling, control theory, optimization, planning, decision theory, user interface design, data management, software engineering, emergent behavior analysis, and bio-inspired computing. ICAC brings together researchers and practitioners from disparate disciplines, application domains and perspectives, enabling them to discover and share underlying commonalities in their approaches to making resources, applications and systems more autonomic. * Topics Papers are solicited from all areas of autonomic computing, including (but not limited to): ** Self-managing components, such as compute, storage, and networking devices, embedded and real time systems, and mobile devices such as smartphones. ** AI and mathematical techniques, such as machine learning, control theory, operations research, probability and stochastic processes, queueing theory, rule-based systems, and bio-inspired techniques, and their use in autonomic computing. ** End-to-end design and implementation of systems for management of resources, workloads, scalability, availability, performance, reliability, power/cooling, and security. ** Monitoring components and platforms for autonomic systems in IT or cyber-physical environments. ** Hypervisors, operating systems, middleware, or application support for autonomic computing. ** Novel human interfaces for monitoring and controlling autonomic systems. ** Goal specification and policies, including specification and modeling of service-level agreements, behavior enforcement, IT governance, and business-driven IT management. ** Frameworks, principles, architectures, and toolkits, from software engineering practices and experimental methodologies to agent-based techniques. ** Automated management techniques for emerging applications, systems, and platforms, including social networks, cloud computing, big data systems, multi-core servers, smart cities, and cyber-physical systems. ** Fundamental science and theory of self-managing systems for understanding, controlling or exploiting emergent system behaviors to enforce autonomic properties. ** Applications of autonomic computing and experiences with prototyped or deployed systems solving real-world problems in science, engineering, business, or society. Applications of autonomic computing and experiences with prototyped or deployed systems solving real-world problems in science, engineering, business, or society. * Paper Submissions ** Regular papers: Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages, excluding references) should be typeset in two-column format in 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading, with the text block being no more than 6.5" wide by 9" deep.

They are the base for building today's rapidly evolving cloud and HPC infrastructures, and are used to solve some of the most complex problems. The challenge to make them scalable, efficient, and more functional requires the joint effort of the cluster community in the areas of cluster system design, management and monitoring, at hardware, system, middleware, and application level. 2014 Highlight: Cluster Support for Big Data. The evolution of cluster technologies is expected to substantially impact emerging research areas, such as the increasingly important Data Science field. Therefore, we have chosen this year to highlight research topics expected to bring substantial progress in the way clusters can help in addressing Big Data challenges. Specific topics are dedicated to this direction within all conference tracks alongside more traditional topics. In addition, special tutorials and workshops will focus on cluster technologies for Big Data storage and processing. New this year: Student Mentoring Track. Today's Master and PhD students are our future colleagues. The future development of cluster, grid and could computing falls on their shoulders. The Cluster conference is proud to contribute to their education through a specific mentoring program all along the week. This program will include a Poster Master Class delivered by renowned researchers, to improve their poster making and presentation skills. It will also include specific VIP scientific sessions, delivered by first-class lecturers introducing them to their vision of the field, and private question quarters, to give them a chance to ask their questions to plenary speakers after their keynotes. Also, a special ?Looking to my future? session will be organized with cluster-oriented company VIPs to tell students the latest opportunities for positions in this area, and how to earn them. Last by not least, special student socializing events will be organized, and various Best-*-Awards offered. Cluster 2014 is hosted in Madrid, Spain. Attendees will have access to the latest developments in cluster computing technologies and practices. Join the cluster computing community, and discuss new directions, opportunities and ideas that will influence its future.

Moreover there is a noticeable spillover within other industries (e.g. manufacturing, entertainment industry) enabling new business models: companies bundle their physical products and software services into solutions (e.g. using subscription models or in-app purchases) and start to sell independent software products in addition to physical products. Software business refers to commercial activities in and around the software industry, aimed at generating income from the delivery of software products and software services. Although the software business shares common features with other international knowledge-intensive businesses, it carries many inherent features making it a challenging domain for research. In particular software companies have to depend on one another to deliver a unique value proposition to their customers or a unique experience to their users. Moreover recent developments like the emerging app economy offer a variety of opportunities for entrepreneurs or start-up companies. The recent acquisition of the three-year old Finnish mobile game startup Supercell with the total value of 2.2 billion Euros shows that the future of software is not only in utility and but also in entertainment and increasing freetime of people globally. This will have a profound effect on software business and requires novel business models and new approaches to software product development as well. ICSOB 2014 addresses researchers and practitioners, who are concerned with software business in different ways as well as the start-up community, which is increasingly focusing on mobile and social software. The main theme of 2014 focuses on speeding up the time from idea to value delivery, towards continuous delivery of added value. Conference Topics You are invited to submit papers addressing contemporary issues emerging at the intersection of the software and business domains, broadly defined.
