INFOSCALE 2009 - Call for Papers June 10-12 2009, Hong Kong, China http://www.infoscale.org/ Technical-sponsored by IEEE and IEEE Computer Society Co-sponsored by Create-Net and ICST

Overview

As volume of data and knowledge keeps increasing, new methods, modeling paradigms, and structures are supported to efficiently mount scalability requirements. In the last few years, heterogeneous distributed systems proliferate, ranging from simple networks of workstations to highly complex grid computing environments. Such computational paradigms have been preferred due to their reduced costs and inherent scalability, which pose many challenges to scalable systems and applications in terms of information access, storage and retrieval.

The fourth International Conference on Scalable Information Systems will focus on a wide array of scalability issues and investigate new approaches to tackle problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of information of all kinds.

Scope

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of interest.

The Fourth International Conference on Scalable Information Systems will focus on a wide array of scalability issues and investigate new approaches to tackle problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of information of all kinds.

The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Scalable Parallel and Distributed Information Retrieval Scalable Grid Information Systems Scalable Peer-to-Peer Systems Scalable Mobile Systems Scalable Web Services Scalable Sensor Networks and Systems Scalable Systems and Conceptual Modelling Scalable Multimedia Information Systems Scalable Data Mining Scalability Issues on Emerging Computing Architectures (SMTs, GPUs, Multicores) Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems Middleware Technology for Scalable Computing Information Security Architectures for Scalability Networking Metrics for Scalability Evaluation Metrics for Scalability Enterprise Information Systems and Applications Very Large Databases Compression Techniques for Scalability Optimizing Compiling Techniques for Scalable Parallel Systems
