The 2015 International Workshop on

Data-Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS-2015)

http://ft.ornl.gov/discs-2015/



Sunday, November 15, 2015



Hilton Austin Hotel, Austin TX, USA



Held in conjunction with SC15: The International Conference for High

Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis



In cooperation with ACM SIGHPC, http://sighpc.org



CALL FOR PAPERS

----------------------------------------------------------------------------



* Scope of the Workshop *



The Data Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS) workshop series

facilitates dialogue about research aimed at the intersection of data

intensive computing and traditional high performance computing (HPC).

Traditional HPC systems were designed from a compute-centric perspective,

with an emphasis on high floating-point performance.  As scientific and

analytics applications become more data intensive, there is a need to

rethink HPC system architectures, programming models, runtime systems,

and tools with a focus on data intensive computing. Industry approaches

supporting data intensive applications have been highly successful,

leading many in the HPC community to explore ways to apply them.

Conversely, the HPC community's expertise in designing, deploying, and

using high performance systems is attractive to those in industry.

DISCS-2015 will feature a keynote address and presentation of

peer-reviewed full and short research papers, with ample opportunity

for researchers and developers to discuss recent results and the future

challenges of running data intensive applications on traditional HPC

systems and latest data-centric computing systems.

* Submission Instructions *



Submissions should be unpublished work and in PDF format on US

Letter sized paper (8.5"x11") with not more than 8 pages (all

inclusive) formatted according to the double-column format of

the ACM SIG Proceedings “Option 1: LaTeX2e – Strict Adherence

to SIGS style” template.  Margins and fonts should not be modified

from this style. All accepted papers will appear in the workshop

proceedings in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore. See

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=discs2015 for details.





* Keynote *



Irene M. Qualters will deliver the keynote address for DISCS-2015.

Ms. Qualters is the Division Director of Advanced Cyber-infrastructure

for the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), and has extensive

experience guiding NSF’s national computing infrastructure.

Before coming to the NSF, she had a 30-year career in industry,

working on compilers, operating systems, and file systems.





* Journal Special Issue *



The authors of papers presented in the DISCS-2015 workshop will be

invited to extend their manuscripts to be considered for a special

issue guest of Parallel Computing: Systems & Applications, guest

edited by the DISCS-2015 workshop chairs.  Details regarding the

journal special issue and important submission dates will be

available to authors of accepted papers after the workshop.





* Workshop Registration *



Registration for DISCS-2015 and all other SC15 workshops is handled

through the SC15 registration system.  Attendees can register for

access to SC15 workshops independent of the SC15 Technical Program, or

can add workshop registration to their Technical Program registration

at a reduced rate.  All DISCS-2015 attendees, including presenters,

are required to have a valid SC15 workshop registration.



Please visit the SC15 Registration Page for more information and to

register for SC15 workshops.
