CALL FOR PAPERS 1st Workshop on High-Performance Computing for the Semantic Web (HPCSW 2011) May 29|30, 2011 (TBD) http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~weavej3/hpcsw2011/index.xhtml collocated with the 8th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2011) May 29 - June 2, 2011 in Heraklion, Greece http://www.eswc2011.org/ IMPORTANT DATES =============== Paper Submission Deadline: March 4, 2011 (23:59 Hawaii Time) Acceptance Notification: April 1, 2011 Camera Ready Papers Due: April 15, 2011 Workshop Day (full day): May 29|30, 2011 (TBD) OVERVIEW AND TOPICS OF INTEREST =============================== Over the last several years, there has been an increase in research in parallel semantic web data processing (SWDP) in the semantic web community as well as burgeoning interest in the high-performance computing (HPC) community. As specific examples, use of high- performance computing [1] won the 2009 Billion Triple Challenge, and a parallel inference engine [2] won the 2010 IEEE SCALE Challenge. The goal of the High-Performance Computing for the Semantic Web (HPCSW) workshop is to facilitate synergy between the HPC and semantic web communities as well as between academia and industry to further scalability of SWDP. HPCSW is a full-day workshop that will begin with presentations of technical papers submitted for publication and will end with a discussion among (but not limited to) invited participants. Proceedings will be published online, and a selection of revised papers will be published in a joint LNCS post-proceedings volume. Papers should present work in which HPC in some form (e.g., parallelism, supercomputers, FPGAs, etc.) is employed to improve SWDP (any kind of processing of semantic web data). Broad topics for papers include (but are not limited to): * Parallelizing SWDP. * Exploiting HPC architectures for SWDP. * Employing parallel graph algorithms for SWDP. * Benchmarks for SWDP from a HPC perspective. The following questions will guide (but not limit) the discussion: * How important is it to have high-performant applications for the semantic web? * What are the boundaries of HPC for SWDP? * What SWDP lends itself to HPC and/or parallel processing? * What pre-existing work in HPC can be leveraged for SWDP? * What are the tradeoffs between commodity HPC and specialized HPC for SWDP? (e.g., MapReduce vs. "hand-coded", commodity clusters vs. supercomputers) [1] "Scalable Reduction" - http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~weavej3/btc2009/index.xhtml [2] WebPIE - http://blog.larkc.eu/?p=1981 SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ========================== Papers must be submitted by 23:59 Hawaii Time on Friday, March 4, 2011 at the following address: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpcsw2011 . Position/short papers should not exceed five (5) pages in length, and full papers should not exceed twelve (12) pages in length. All papers must be formatted according to the information for LNCS authors. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format.
