Scope
As data and knowledge volume keep increasing while global means for information dissemination continue to diversify, new methods, modeling paradigms and structures are needed to efficiently mount scalability requirements.
In the last few years, we have seen the proliferation of the use of heterogeneous distributed systems, 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.
Grid computing, P2P technology, data and knowledge bases, distributed information retrieval technology and networking technology should all converge to address the scalability concern. Furthermore, with the advent of emerging computing architectures - e.g. SMTs, GPUs, Multicores. - the importance of designing techniques explicitly targeting these systems is becoming more and more important.
INFOSCALE 2009 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
- Very Large Databases
- Compression Techniques for Scalability
- Optimizing Compiling Techniques for Scalable Parallel Systems
Publication
Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the INFOSCALE Conference Proceedings, and made available online through >>Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST).
Call For Workshops and Tutorials
Workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the conference are solicited. Workshops and tutorials should address innovative, controversial, or otherwise provocative issues of interest related to scalable information systems.
