Challenges of Large Applications in Distributed Environments (CLADE) Call For Papers In conjunction with the 17th International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2008) Boston, Massachusetts, June 23, 2008 http://www.cs.okstate.edu/clade2008/ Distributed cyberinfrastructure for the realization of e-Science and e-Business continues to be developed at a rapid pace and across diverse disciplines. This development reinforces the need for effective distributed applications. From sensor data to online data collections to remote visualization, the most challenging problems will be solved by applications that can make effective use of such distributed, heterogeneous resources. This workshop will highlight the successful development, deployment, management and evaluation of large scale applications in science, engineering, medicine, business, economics, education, and other disciplines, on Grids and other distributed heterogeneous and dynamic computing environments. Topics of interest concerning e-Science and cyberinfrastructure include, but not limited to, the following: * Large-scale distributed applications, both computational and data-centric * Application-specific portals and problem solving Environment * e-Science applications in physics, biology, astronomy, chemistry, finance, engineering, and medicine, etc. * Large, distributed data analysis * Scientific workflow * Applications with heterogeneous spatial and temporal characteristics * Distributed, multidimensional, dynamically adaptive applications * Sensor Networks and Environmental Observatories in e-Science * Examples of distributed applications benefiting from advances in o Application hosting frameworks for distributed environments o Runtime support for intelligent, adaptive systems o Programming models for heterogeneous and dynamic computation o Portability, quality of service, or fault-tolerance in cluster and Grid computation o Resource management, dynamic scheduling or load balancing in heterogeneous environments PAPER SUBMISSIONS CLADE 2008 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Please submit full papers (10 pages maximum, IEEE Transactions format). Electronic submission is required. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register at the workshop and present the paper. One paper will be honored at the workshop with the best paper award. Any questions concerning topics, submissions or any other issues may be directed to the Program Chair. PUBLICATION The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM and distributed at the conference.
