AGridM 2003: Workshop on Adaptive Grid Middleware


Organizers:
Wilson Rivera and Jaime Seguel, University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez, USA




Scope:
Grid computing research focuses on building a large-scale computing
infrastructure by linking computing facilities at many distributed
locations. By analogy with the electric power Grids, such systems
are known as computational Grids. Significant effort has been spent
in the design and implementation of middleware software for enabling
computational Grids. These software packages have been successfully
deployed and it is now possible to build clusters beyond the boundaries
of a single local area network. However, the challenging problem of
dynamically allocating resources in response to application requests
for computational services remains unsolved. Adaptive middleware is
software that resides between the application and the computer operating
system and enables an application to adapt to changing availability of
computing and networking resources.


The purpose of this workshop is to provide an open forum for researchers
from hardware and software areas to present, discuss, and exchange
research-related ideas, results, and experiences in the area of adaptive
middleware for computational Grids.

MEDEA 2003: Workshop on Memory Access Decoupled Architectures and Related
Issues


Organizers:
Sandro Bartolini, University of Siena, Italy
Pierfrancesco Foglia and Cosimo Antonio Prete, University of Pisa, Italy




Scope:
MEDEA-2003 aims to continue the high level of interest in the first three
MEDEA Workshops held with PACT'00, PACT'01 and PACT'02.


Due to the ever-increasing gap between CPU and memory speed, there is a
great interest in evaluating and proposing processor, multiprocessor and
system architectures dealing with the "memory wall" problem. In this
scenario, memory performance issues can be better addressed when considering
system architecture and application domain in a joint manner. In fact, it
is the combined effect of the applications and the system on which they
are executing that stresses the memory subsystem and pushes towards specific
solutions. Typical architectural choices include single processor vs.
multiprocessor solutions, single chip vs. COTS design, superscalar,
multithreaded or VLIW architectures. Application domains encompass
commercial (Web, DB, e-business, and multimedia), embedded (personal,
mobile, automotive, automation and medical), networking applications, etc.


The MEDEA-2003 Workshop wants to be a forum for academic and industrial
people to meet, discuss and exchange their ideas and experience on the
design and evaluation of architectures for embedded, commercial and
general purpose systems. Main topics are memory performance issues and
olutions in the various application domains.

SNAPI 2003: Workshop on Storage Network Architecture and Parallel I/Os


Organizer:
Qing (Ken) Yang, University of Rhode Island, USA




Scope:
Data are the "life-blood" of computing and the main asset of any
organization.
Therefore, disk I/O and data storage on which data reside are becoming
"first
class citizens" in today's information world. This workshop intends to bring
together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss
cutting edge research on parallel and distributed data storage technologies.
By discussing ongoing research, the workshop will expose participants to the
most recent developments in storage network architectures and parallel I/O.

SPDSEC 2003: Workshop on Hardware/Software Support for Parallel and
Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing


Organizers:
Minyi Guo, University of Aizu, Japan
Laurence Tianruo Yang, Francis Xavier University, Canada




Scope:
The field of parallel and distributed processing has obtained prominence
through advances in electronic and integrated technologies beginning in
the 1940s. Current times are very exciting and the years to come will
witness a proliferation in the use of parallel and distributed systems,
or supercomputers. The scientific and engineering application domains
have a key role in shaping future research and development activities
in academia and industry.


The purpose of this workshop is to provide an open forum for computer
scientists, computational scientists and engineers, applied mathematicians,
and researchers to present, discuss, and exchange research-related ideas,
results, works-in-progress, and experiences in the areas of architectural,
compilation, and language support for problems in science and engineering
applications.
