Computing and Scientific Applications (CCSA 2011) http://www.cloudbus.org/ucc2011/ccsa/ccsa2011.html
Keynote Speech: 1) Title: Resiliency Principles for Emergency Management
Systems
Senior Research Manager, IBM
Research & Development Australia Member IBM Academy of Technology Abstract: IBM is expanding its worldwide
Research presence with it's 10th Research Lab in
Melbourne, Australia. The lab will focus on Australian science priorities
such as Disaster Management, Natural Resource Management and Healthcare. In
this talk we will focus on what issues emergency management systems face.
From the general top down hierarchical command and control systems that must
hold up under catastrophic conditions where parts of the system may be
destroyed or severed. We will highlight what principles will ensure a
graceful degradation to local control and a seamless reintegration as
connections get re-established. But not just loss of system parts are
resiliency issues - also quality and trust in sources of data will affect the
resiliency of the overall system. 2) Title: Issues and Challenges in Cloud Storage Services
Principal Research Scientist,
CSIRO ICT Centre, Marsfield, Sydney, Australia Abstract: Cloud storage services have emerged as a way to provide effective
utilization of storage capacity to address the explosive growth of personal
and enterprise data. They allow clients to scale their storage space to meet
expanding requirements while improving its utilization and manageability.
Given its innovative nature compared to the standard model of service
provision, cloud computing raises new questions in terms of security, privacy
and trust. There is a need to understand the risks associated with the cloud
as well as build technologies to address those risks. This talk aims to
discuss these issues, and provide a possible solution in the context of a
framework, called TrustStore. Call for Papers: txt , pdf Special Issue to be published
by IJCSE - International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering
(published by Inderscience) Overview: CCSA
workshop has been formed to promote research and development activities
focused on enabling and scaling scientific applications using distributed
computing paradigms, such as cluster, Grid, and Cloud Computing. With the
rapid emergence of software systems and their applicability, the volume of
users are growing exponentially. User requirements are getting more and more
complex. Existing computing infrastructure, software system designs, and use
cases will have to take into account the enormity in volume of requests, size
of data, computing load, locality and type of users, and so forth. Cloud
computing promises reliable services delivered through next-generation data
centers that are built on compute and storage virtualization technologies.
Users will be able to access applications and data from a ÒCloudÓ anywhere in
the world on demand. In other words, the Cloud appears to be a single point
of access for all the computing needs of users. The users are assured that
the Cloud infrastructure is robust and will always be available at any time. CCSA
brings together researchers and practitioners from around the world to share
their experiences on modeling, executing, and monitoring scientific
applications on Clouds. In
this workshop, we are interested in receiving innovative work on enabling and
scaling computing systems to support the execution of scientific
applications. The target audience include researchers and industry
practitioners who are interested in distributed systems, particularly
focusing on scaling of applications using Cloud computing. Topics of Interest: Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to): - Enabling
applications using distributed systems - Architectural
Models for scaling of applications - Novel
applications for cloud computing, including games and social networks - Novel

Ready Submission: September 30, 2011 Journal Special Issue: All papers, after presentation at the conference,
will be invited to submit their revised version to a special issue of the
IJCSE - International Journal of Computational Science and Engineering
(published by Inderscience). IJCSE is a refereed
international journal providing an international forum to report, discuss and
exchange experimental results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience,
case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of computational science
and engineering. It is abstracted and indexed in ACM Guide to Computing
Literature, Computer and Information Systems, Computer Database, EI Compendex, Engineered Materials Abstracts, Google
Scholar, Pascal, Scirus, and Scopus. For additional
information about IJCSE, please visit http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalCODE=ijcse Submission Guidelines: All
papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF format through EasyChair system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ccsa2011 The
material presented should be original and not published or under submission
elsewhere. Authors should submit full papers of up to 6 pages, strictly following the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings
Manuscript style (available at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting)
using two-column, single-space format, with 10-point font size. Figures and
references must be included in the 6 pages. The committee will automatically
reject oversized papers. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper
must register early to attend the conference, in order for the paper to
appear in the conference proceedings. Submitted
papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently
under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these
guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken,
including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the
institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions
received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured
may also not be considered. The proceedings will be published and will be
made online through the IEEE Xplore. Program Chairs: ¥ Suraj Pandey The Commonwealth
