IEEE ScalCom 2017
Nowadays parallel architectures are ubiquitous and the arena of computing and communicating devices is quickly reaching an unprecedented scale. The trend is to keep increasing both the number of cores in a single device as well as the number of communicating devices. In this massively parallel and heterogeneous context, the need for scalable computing is everywhere and scalability is rapidly becoming a central aspect of computing.
The 17th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications (ScalCom 2017) provides a forum for researchers willing to present their original work on scalable parallel and distributed computing. ScalCom offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas at the highest technical level related to communication networks, performance analysis, distributed applications with particular emphasis on scalability.
We invite submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully developed results or on-going foundational and applied work relating to all aspects of scalable computing and communications. The program committee will interpret it very broadly; everything from engineering principles to practical experiences on different levels of a parallel and distributed system including High Performance Computing (HPC), massively parallel systems and heterogeneous computing. We particularly encourage submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities.
The topics of the 17th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications include, but are not limited to:
Cloud & fog computing: X as a Service, where X includes Backend, Business Process, Database, Infrastructure, Network, Platform, Security, Software, and Storage performance, dependability, and service level agreements cloud programming models and tools fog computing algorithms and infrastructures.
Extreme scale, multi-core, GPU, accelerators and novel architectures for Scalability-Rethinking: parallel programming models and tools GPU, MIC, and FPGA based parallel systems, heterogeneous platforms Extreme scale systems and applications peta-scale and exa-scale workloads high-performance and high-throughput computing fault-tolerance in large scale applications near-data processing and data-centric approaches.
Modelling and Simulation of Large Complex Systems: cellular automata, genetic algorithms, neural networks, swarm Intelligence implementations integrated approach to optimization and simulation high-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems.
Mobile, wireless and pervasive computing: queueing theory; design and performance analysis of communication networks distributed applications with emphasis on scalability; distributed applications deployment internet of things, communication protocols, energy aware computing pervasive computing, distributed robotics convergence of communication and computing.
Tools for Big Data: statistical data mining extreme big data Hadoop convergence of IoT, cloud and big data
