Storage and I/O Systems: Distributed storage, cloud storage, Storage as a Service, data locality techniques for in-memory processing, storage in the edge. Programming Models and Runtime Systems: Programming models, languages, systems and tools/environments. Virtualization, containers, and middleware technologies. Actors, agents, programming decentralized computing systems. Resource Management and Scheduling: Resource allocation algorithms, profiling, modeling. Cluster, cloud, and internet computing scheduling and meta-scheduling techniques. Performance Modelling and Evaluation: Performance models. Monitoring and evaluation tools. Analysis of system/application performance. Cyber-Security, Privacy and Resilient Distributed Systems: Distributed Systems security and trust. Access control. Data privacy and integrity. Regulation. Resiliency of service attacks. Sustainable and Green Computing: Environment friendly computing ecosystems. Hardware/software/application energy efficiency. Power, cooling and thermal awareness. Applications: Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cyber-Physical Systems, e-Health, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled Smart Systems and Applications. Best Paper Awards: ================== CCGrid will present Best Paper Awards to the author(s) of top three papers selected by the Program Committee. The award will be determined based on review comments and ratings, viewpoints of the technical and scientific merits, impact on the science and engineering of the research work and the clarity of presentation of the research contents in the paper. Journal Special Issue: ====================== Highly rated Top 5 papers from the CCGrid 2021 conference will be invited for submission of extended version for publication in a special issue of the "Software: Practice and Experience" Journal published by Wiley Press. ------------------------ Chairs and Committees ------------------------ General Chairs: Rajkumar Buyya, University of Melbourne, Australia Gul Agha, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Program Committee Co-Chairs: Laurent Lefevre, INRIA, France Stacy Patterson, RPI, USA Young Choon Lee, Macquarie University, Australia Vice Chairs: Internet Computing Frontiers: Edge, Fog, Serverless, Lambda, Streaming Jesus Carretero, Univ Carlos 3, Madrid, Spain Weifa Liang, Australian National University, Australia Architecture, Networking, Data Centers Dhabaleswar K.
