GMAC 2010
From GMAC 2010
Contents |
The second edition of Grids Meet Autonomic Computing (GMAC) will be held in association with ICAC 2010, the 7th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communications (Washington DC). Depending on overall ICAC organization, the date will be 7 or 11 June 2010.
Scope
The emergence of Web-scale infrastructure offers new opportunities for distributed applications – both scientific and enterprise that can utilize infrastructures at this scale. The design of effective and efficient Dynamic Distributed Applications is one of the key challenges shared by Cloud Computing and Grids. A special focus of this second edition of GMAC will thus be application-level autonomics.
Production grids and experimental grid infrastructures have accumulated a precious experience concerning the needs of e-Science applications, the limitations of the current infrastructures, environments and practices, and the successes and pitfalls of real-world deployments. Autonomic Computing offers the principled methods to address the Self-Optimization, Self-Configuration, Self-Protection and Self-Healing issues inseparable from ultra-high scale applications. Confronting these experiences will contribute to the convergence between Autonomic research, Cloud Computing, and Grids.
GMAC aims to continue to build bridges between fundamental and applied grid research on one hand, and the autonomic computing community on the other hand, by identifying key scientific challenges related to managing, exploiting, and evolving of grids as a specific category of complex large-scale systems.
The goal of the workshop is to promote community wide discussion of, and collaboration on potentially high-impact ideas that will influence and foster continued research in improving the manageability and reliability of grids, and the design of efficient web-scale applications. .
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Use of Autonomic Techniques in Distributed Computing
- Self-Adaptive Applications (Enterprise, Internet, and Computational Science)
- Programming Abstractions and Patterns for Autonomic Applications
- Software Engineering, Programming Tools for Autonomic Applications
- Autonomic Cloud Computing & Exploring Autonomics as a way to support the possible convergence between clouds and grids
- Application-level Quality of Service
- Experiences with large-scale deployments of applications.
Submission
Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages in length) should be submitted through the GMAC submission site (link will be available soon). All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on merits including correctness, originality, quality of presentation, and relevance to the workshop themes. At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop.
The proceedings will be published by the same publisher as the main conference (ACM in 2009).
