----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Call for Participation *** Workshop on Data-Intensive Distributed Computing In conjunction with HPDC 2011, June 8, San Jose, CA http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/tkosar/didc2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Fourth International Workshop on Data Intensive Distributed Computing (DIDC 2011) will be held in conjunction with the 20th International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2011), in San Jose, California. The data needs of scientific as well as commercial applications from a diverse range of fields have been increasing exponentially over the recent years. This increase in the demand for large-scale data processing has necessitated collaboration and sharing of data collections among the world's leading education, research, and industrial institutions and use of distributed resources owned by collaborating parties. In a widely distributed environment, data is often not locally accessible and has thus to be remotely retrieved and stored. While traditional distributed systems work well for computation that requires limited data handling, they may fail in unexpected ways when the computation accesses, creates, and moves large amounts of data especially over wide-area networks. Further, data accessed and created is often poorly described, lacking both metadata and provenance. Scientists, researchers, and application developers are often forced to solve basic data-handling issues, such as physically locating data, how to access it, and/or how to move it to visualization and/or compute resources for further analysis. This workshop will focus on the challenges imposed by data-intensive applications on distributed systems, and on the different state-of-the-art solutions proposed to overcome these challenges. It will bring together the collaborative and distributed computing community and the data management community in an effort to generate productive conversations on the planning, management, and scheduling of data handling tasks and data storage resources.
