      Second Workshop on Caching, Coherence, and Consistency (WC3 '02)

                                June 22, 2002

                          in conjunction with the

   16th Annual ACM International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS 2002)

                             New York, NY, USA

                      http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~wc3/

Motivation

The workshop aims to bring together researchers from various areas of
computer science whose work is related to data caching, coherence, and
consistency. Interestingly, these three topics have been present in
the research agenda of several independent communities that usually do
not meet.  The interest in these topics started in the computer
architecture community and now pervades in parallel and distributed
systems research. There have also been significant efforts to address
caching, coherence, and consistency topics using compiler, operating
system, or application support. The same topics have been addressed by
the operating system community in the context of file and storage
systems for both servers and mobile systems. More recently, the
interest in these issues has been revived by the web technologies,
including content and service replication and distribution.

This workshop is the first forum to bring together people from all
these areas of research by recognizing that their specific caching,
coherence, and consistency issues have common denominators that can
lead to fruitful discussions and exchange of ideas. The first edition
of this workshop, which took place in conjunction with ICS'01, was
very successful and the participants were particularly appreciative to
the idea of bringing researchers from all these areas together. This
workshop continued the tradition of the workshops on software DSM,
which were associated with ICS in 1999 and 2000.

Scope

We solicit abstracts of original research including, but not limited
to, the following areas:

   * Memory caches
   * Cache modeling and analysis
   * Consistency models
   * File and storage caching
   * Caching, coherence, and consistency in shared-memory multiprocessors
   * Caching, coherence, and consistency in clusters
   * Caching, coherence, and consistency in peer-to-peer systems
   * Caching, coherence, and consistency in mobile systems
   * Web caching, coherence, and consistency
   * Web content replication and distribution

Authors are invited to submit 5-page extended abstracts that
demonstrate original and unpublished research in the areas of data
caching, coherence, and consistency. Abstracts should be emailed to
wc3@cs.rutgers.edu in postscript or pdf format. Accepted papers can be
up to 10 pages long and will be published by the workshop. One of the
authors will be required to attend the workshop and present the work.

Important Dates

May   1,  2002: Extended abstracts due.
May   20, 2002: Notification sent to authors.
June  10, 2002: Camera-ready papers due.

will be published. Publisher is under negotiation.

Hot/Controversial Topic Sessions:
Proposals are solicited for sessions in which a group of speakers will
present and discuss ideas on recent results in a hot or controversial
area. Send proposals for these sessions to proposals@perf2002.uniroma2.it,
specifying the name, affiliation and a brief biography of organizer(s)
of the session, the session title, and a list of possible speakers.
The submission should also indicate whether any published material is required
for the session.

Awards:
The Scientific Committee will assign the "Best Paper" and
the "Best Student Paper" awards. Papers eligible for the student
award must have a full-time student as the first author.

IMPORTANT DATES:
Registration of paper submission
at the submission web site:              March 31, 2002 *****************
Submission of full papers and
Proposals for special sessions:          April 5, 2002
Notification of acceptance:              June 4, 2002
