Call for Papers DREAMCloud 2016 2nd International Workshop on Dynamic Resource Allocation and Management in Embedded, High Performance and Cloud Computing Jan 19th 2016 Co-Located with HiPEAC 2016 Prague, Czech Republic Jointly organised by the DreamCloud and EXCESS projects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DREAMCloud is a workshop aiming to encourage technical and scientific exchanges between senior academics, young researchers and industrialists in the area of dynamic resource management in embedded, high performance and cloud computing. It has strong emphasis on performance predictability and energy efficiency, which are the key issues addressed by the DreamCloud and EXCESS projects. It aims to foster cooperation across the different domains by emphasising the latest trends bringing together the respective research communities: - embedded systems are increasingly complex, having to cope with dynamic workloads, and using multiprocessor and communication-centric platforms, while fulfiling strict timing and energy requirements; - high-performance and cloud computing critically need to address fundamental problems in energy efficiency and performance predictability, despite having little or no a priori knowledge about their workloads. The second DREAMCloud Workshop will be co-located with the HiPEAC 2016 Conference in Prague, Czech Republic (https://www.hipeac.net/2016/prague/). TOPICS OF INTEREST - dynamic resource allocation and management algorithms and heuristics for time-predictable and performance-predictable systems - dynamic resource allocation and management algorithms and heuristics targeting energy-efficiency - operating system and virtualisation technologies implementing dynamic resource allocation and management (task allocation, task migration, context management) - dynamic resource allocation of on-chip and off-chip interconnects (routing, buffer allocation) - dynamic management of memory hierarchies and storage (time-predictable memory controllers, scratchpads, file systems) - dynamic hardware reconfiguration to support dynamic resource management (hardware-assisted dynamic scheduling and allocation) - approaches to energy-efficient computing paradigms for emerging many-core architectures - energy execution models - energy-aware compiler optimizations and runtime support - specification languages and environments (workload characterisation) - system monitoring (workload monitoring, platform monitoring, energy monitoring) - verification and evaluation techniques (simulation, analytical models) - benchmarks for dynamic resource allocation in embedded, high performance and cloud computing The workshop is organised by the EU-funded DreamCloud and EXCESS project consortia, which have both started in September 2013 and are addressing some of the topics listed above. The overall goal of the workshop, however, is to assess the most relevant research contributions and industrial needs in this area, therefore contributions from outside of the consortia are extremely welcome and will be given preference in the final programme. IMPORTANT DATES - Submission: 12th November 2015 - Notification: 27th November, 2015 - Final Version: 11th December, 2015 - Workshop 19th January, 2016 SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit contributions as maximum 8 page papers in IEEE format. Contribution(s) have to be submitted electronically through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dreamcloud2016 All accepted papers will be published in arXiv's Computing Research Repository (CoRR). A selection of the best papers may be considered for publication as a journal special issue after the event.
