Announcement - Call for Research Demos, CCGrid, Melbourne, Australia

The 10th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2010) conference, invites research demonstrations from laboratories or research groups to showcase new innovations and technologies.

The conference is to be held May 17-20, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

We welcome demos from all areas. Some possible topics of interest include:

• Scientific, Engineering, Commercial or e-Science Applications using Cloud Computing

• Middleware

• Demonstrable Open-Challenges

• Resource Management

• Scheduling and Load Balancing

• Programming Models, Tools, and Environments

• Performance Evaluation and Modeling

The proposal should include:

• Up to 2 pages of description of the demo and the set up

• A short (half-page) description of the research lab

Accepted research demonstrations will be invited to present in the conference. Abstracts will not be included in the conference proceedings, but will be published on the conference website.

We strongly discourage recorded presentations. In addition, authors of accepted demonstrations are expected to communicate more general information about the specific demo and other work being performed at the lab using their own posters (poster boards are provided).

We will be providing wireless Internet access ONLY. This means, the hardware (compute and data resources) and software needed for the demo should reside either in public clouds such as Amazon or private infrastructure of research labs/enterprises.

A Best Research Demo Award will be presented to the winning demo/team selected by the award committee at the CCGrid 2010 conference.

Please submit a PDF version of the proposal by March 31.

The conference will be held in The Langham, in Melbourne, Australia. Image courtesy CC Grid 2010.
