CfP: IOPADS (Input/Output in Parallel and Distributed Systems)

I/O bottleneck




                                                CALL FOR PAPERS


                                                    Third Annual
          WORKSHOP ON I/O IN PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS (IOPADS)
            April 25, 1995, Red Lion Resort, Santa Barbara, California




Sponsored by: To be held in conjunction with:
IEEE Technical Committee on International Parallel Processing
Parallel Processing. Symposium (IPPS '95).
In cooperation with: ACM SIGARCH.




WORKSHOP: The 1995 workshop will be the third year of the workshop;
in the previous two years it was entitled the "Workshop on I/O in
Parallel Computer Systems". In keeping with the spirit of the change
in title, the 1995 workshop will encourage broad participation from
researchers involved in all aspects of solutions to the I/O
bottleneck in parallel and distributed systems. Papers dealing with
innovative theoretical, algorithmic, operating systems, compiler,
architectural and application level approaches are of interest. In
keeping with discussions held at the 1994 workshop, papers describing
experimental and empirical investigations are particularly
encouraged. The workshop will be held on the first day of the IPPS
'95 symposium (April 25, 1995).


Papers are invited demonstrating original unpublished research.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:


        Experimental characterization of I/O demand
        Empirical evaluation of parallel I/O subsystems
        Performance modeling and evaluation
        Design and implementation of I/O intensive applications
        Practice and experience with high-performance I/O
        Theory and implementation of algorithms for I/O
        I/O subsystem architecture
        Language and compiler support for parallel I/O
        Operating system support for parallel I/O
        Real-time and multimedia I/O
        Scheduling and resource allocation
        Concurrent and parallel file systems


SUBMITTING PAPERS: All papers will be reviewed. The first page must
include an abstract and the name, address, telephone number and
electronic mail address of the author to whom correspondence is to be
sent. The manuscript should be at most 20 pages long (including
figures and references). Papers will be collected into an informal
proceedings and distributed at the workshop.

SYMPOSIUM: The 9th annual International Parallel Processing
Symposium (IPPS '95) is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and held
in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH. At IPPS '95 engineers and
scientists from around the world will present latest research on all
aspects of parallel and distributed computing.


REGISTRATION: The workshop is free with registration for IPPS '95.
