Call for Papers


Overview

As volume of data and knowledge keeps increasing, new methods, modeling paradigms, and structures are supported to efficiently mount scalability requirements. In the last few years, heterogeneous distributed systems proliferate, ranging from simple networks of workstations to highly complex grid computing environments. Such computational paradigms have been preferred due to their reduced costs and inherent scalability, which pose many challenges to scalable systems and applications in terms of information access, storage and retrieval.
The fourth International Conference on Scalable Information Systems will focus on a wide array of scalability issues and investigate new approaches to tackle problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of information of all kinds.


Topics


The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Scalable Parallel and Distributed Information Retrieval
  • Scalable Grid Information Systems
  • Scalable Peer-to-Peer Systems
  • Scalable Mobile Systems
  • Scalable Web Services
  • Scalable Sensor Networks and Systems
  • Scalable Systems and Conceptual Modelling
  • Scalable Multimedia Information Systems
  • Scalable Data Mining
  • Scalability Issues on Emerging Computing Architectures (SMTs, GPUs, Multicores)

  • Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems
  • Middleware Technology for Scalable Computing
  • Information Security
  • Architectures for Scalability
  • Networking Metrics for Scalability
  • Evaluation Metrics for Scalability
  • Enterprise Information Systems and Applications

Publication


All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by the technical program committee members and the reviewers they invite Accepted papers will be published in proceedings by LNICST which is in partnership with Springer. Selected outstanding papers will be considered for international journal special issues.


Posters


The conference will include a poster session that highlights recent and on-going research, experiments, and provocative ideas that have been published elsewhere. Poster submissions will be reviewed and the summaries of accepted posters will appear in the conference proceedings.


Workshops


Proposals for workshops are solicited. Potential instructors are requested to submit a workshop proposal of at most 5 pages, including biographical sketch of each instructor, to the Workshop Chair Alivin Chan. Evaluation of workshop proposals will be based on the expertise and experience of the instructors and the relevance of the subject matter.
