CALL FOR PAPERS
********************
The 4th UPGRADE-CN Workshop on Content Management and Delivery in
Large-Scale Networks
to take place during
ACM/IEEE HPDC (High Performance Distributed Computing)
June 10, 2009, Munich, Germany
Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) have emerged to improve the
efficiency of static, time-dependent and rich media content delivery
atop large-scale IP-based networks. The main objective of current CDNs
is the efficient delivery and increased availability of content to the
consumers. However, modern applications do not just perform retrieval or
access operation on content but also create, modify and manage content,
and actively place content at appropriate locations. To deal with such
new requirements, more general Content Networks (CNs) are being
introduced. Design and implementation of robust and efficient CNs in
large-scale computing environments demand for emerging paradigms and
software technologies. Agent, P2P and Grid computing paradigms have
already demonstrated their suitability in supporting the development of
high-performance systems over large-scale, dynamic and heterogeneous
environments. Therefore their use, which accounts for dynamism (P2P),
robustness (Grid), and intelligence (Agents), can augment the
effectiveness and boost the efficiency of future content distribution
infrastructures. Moreover new interesting distributed computing
paradigms such as Service-Oriented Computing and Cloud Computing can be
used for effectively supporting CNs.
Areas of interest
-----------------
In this workshop we are interested in the exploitation of P2P, Grid, and
Agent paradigms and technologies as well as service-oriented and cloud
computing to support the effective design and efficient implementation
of high-performance Content Networks. In particular, the areas of
interest are the following (although this list should not be treated as
exclusive):
* Architectures for general-purpose content networks
* Architectures for streaming content distribution networks
* Architectures for mobile dynamic CDNs
* Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based CDNs
* Grid/P2P/Agent-based content delivery and management
* Novel architectural models for Cloud Computing
* Content Delivery Networks using Storage Clouds
* Protocols and mechanisms for content management, delivery, discovery
and distribution
* Platforms and tools for content production
* Mechanisms for content-based request redirection
* Mechanisms for cooperative caching
* Frameworks and toolkits for the development of CNs
* Economics-oriented modelling in CDNs
* Novel applications based on CNs
* CDN pricing and support for market aware CDN services
* Experience with research content network test-beds
* Novel applications of cloud computing
* CNs for bio-informatics
* CNs for scientific computing
