<br>Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters<br><br>SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES<br>“Cloud”
is a common metaphor for an Internet accessible infrastructure, hiding
most of the implementation and deployment details of the system from
users. Cloud computing delivers IT-related capabilities as services
over the Internet, allowing resources be managed and accessed in an
Internet scale. Cloud computing has been envisaged to be one of the
main-stream powering technologies of future IT systems. <br><br>This
symposium focuses on techniques, experiences, applications, and lessons
learned for interoperable services in the cloud, particularly in the
realms of high performance computing. For instance, HPC may be used for
the construction of mathematical models and numerical solutions and
techniques for solving scientific, socio-scientific and engineering
problems. It often requires a huge number of computing and storage
resources to perform large-scale analyses and experiments. Users could
get access to their own virtualized HPC cluster in a self-service,
dynamically scalable and fully configurable environment. Cloud
computing can address many of the aforementioned concerns. Such a
computing paradigm shift provides a flexible high performance computing
environment. <br><br>The symposium aims at providing a forum to bring
together researchers and scientists to share and exchange cloud
computing related research, technologies, experiences, and lessons for
building various types clouds with interoperability and coordination
capabilities in a high performance and high availability setting. <br><br>The Symposium topics include (but are not limited to) the following:<br>* Middleware Frameworks <br>* Cloud Architectures <br>* Cloud Interoperability and Federation Protocols<br>
* Programming Models for HPC Clouds<br>* Semantic Web Services Definitions for Clouds<br>* Directory of Services for Clouds<br>* Management of Interoperability and Federation for Clouds<br>* Interoperable and Federated Cloud Security and Trust<br>
* Cloud Interoperability and Federation Governance and Regulatory<br>* HPC Cloud-based Services<br>* QoS/SLA in Interoperable and Federated Clouds<br>* Converged Implementations of Clouds and Grids<br>* Geo-balancing in Interoperable and Federated Clouds<br>
* Common Programming Models across Clouds<br>* Cloud Broker, Exchange, Arbitrage architectures<br>* Semantic Web for Clouds <br>* Cloud Protocols <br>* Virtualization Technologies and Techniques<br>* Virtualization Techniques for HPC GPU/Multicore Systems<br>
* Management of Clouds<br>* Performance Evaluation and Monitoring of HPC Clouds<br>* Scalable Fault Resilience Techniques for HPC Clouds<br>* Cloud Application<br>* Experiences and Lessons <br><br>PAPER SUBMISSIONS<br>You
are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above
and other topics related to Cloud Computing and Services for High
Performance Computing Systems. Submitted papers must not have been
published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. For Regular papers,
please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8
double-column IEEE formatted pages, and include up to 6 keywords and an
abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged
additional fee. Submission should include a cover page with
authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers,
and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the
corresponding author(s). Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers
and poster (please refer to <a href="http://hpcs2013.cisedu.info/home/posters">http://hpcs2013.cisedu.info/home/posters</a>
for posters submission details) will also be accepted. Please specify
the type of submission you have. Please include page numbers on all
preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide
helpful comments. <br><br>Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript to
the symposium paper submission site at
<a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=intercloudhpc2013">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=intercloudhpc2013</a> .
Acknowledgement will be sent within 48 hours of submission. <br><br>Only
PDF files will be accepted, sent by email to the symposium organizers.
Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be
selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical
clarity and presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at
least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if
accepted. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper will have
to register and attend the HPCS 2013 conference to present the paper at
the symposium. <br><br>Accepted papers will be published in the
Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and
requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2013 Conference web site. It is
our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft
copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings
is projected to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed in
all major indexing services accordingly. <br><br>If you have any questions about paper submission or the symposium, please contact the organizers.<br><br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>Paper Submissions: ---------------------------------------- March 22, 2013<br>
