CFP: 11th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications (ScalCom2011)

                         *** Call for Papers ***

     The 11th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and
                      Communications (ScalCom 2011)

                    31st August -- 2nd September 2011
                    Coral Beach Hotel, Paphos, Cyprus

Scalability is a primary consideration in the design and implementation
of computing and communication systems. The rapid increases in the
volume of information that needs to be processed by computers
necessitates new architectures, software, algorithms, and tools to
improve scalability.

ScalCom-11 aims at providing an international forum for researchers
and practitioners to discuss original ideas on all aspects of
scalability in computing. ScalCom-11 is soliciting original, previously
unpublished work addressing research challenges and presenting advances
in the design and implementation of scalable computing and communication
systems.

The conference solicits papers broadly categorized in two tracks,
Distributed Computing Systems and Parallel Computing Systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Distributed Computing Systems

-Distributed computing paradigms (cloud, grid, P2P, and utility computing)
-Data management and data centers
-Sensor networks and applications
-Wireless and mobile computing
-Internet-based computing, protocols, and applications
-Security and privacy issues in distributed computing
-Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
-Algorithms
-System software (programming environments, OS, middleware)
-Applications and tools

Scalable Parallel Computing

-Multi-core architectures
-Graphics processors and accelerators
-Interconnection networks
-Compilers, programming models, and runtime environments
-Operating systems and virtual machine monitors
-Parallel I/O and storage systems
-Exascale computing systems
-Fault tolerance, reliability and dependability
-Green parallel computing
-Applications and tools

Proceedings:

The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society.

Important Dates

Submission Deadline: March 15, 2011
Notification of Acceptance: May 15, 2011
Camera-ready papers due: June 15, 2011

Paper Submission Guidelines

All papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF format. The
material presented should be original and not published or under
submission elsewhere. Authors should submit full papers of up to 8
pages, following strictly the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings
Manuscript style (available at 
http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting),
using two-column, single-space format, with 10-point font size.
Figures and references must be included in the 8 pages. Oversized
papers will be automatically rejected by the PC chairs. At least
one of the authors of each accepted paper must register early to
attend the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the
conference proceedings.
