We invite participants to submit a poster to the CCGrid 2021 conference. CCGrid aims at presenting the latest breakthroughs in Cluster, Grid and Cloud technologies for both academic and industry professionals.

CCGrid 2021 will have a special focus on three important issues that are significantly influencing all aspects of Cluster, Cloud, and Internet computing: Adaptive Elastic Computing, Green Computing, and Cyber-Physical Computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to::

• Internet Computing Frontiers
  
  • Edge, Fog, Serverless, Lambda, Streaming, etc.
• Architecture, Networking, Data Centers
  
  • Service oriented architectures, (I/P)aaS paradigms, Virtualized hardware (GPUs, TPUs, FPGAs), etc.
• 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 and Privacy
  
  • Cloud security and trust. Access control. Data privacy and integrity. Regulation.
• Sustainable and Green Computing
  
  • Environment friendly computing ecosystems. Hardware/software/application energy efficiency. Power, cooling and thermal awareness.
• Applications
