The First International Workshop on MapReduce and its Applications
(MAPREDUCE'10)

June 22nd, 2010 HPDC'2010, Chicago, IL, USA

Since its introduction in 2004 by Google, MapReduce has become the
programming model of choice for processing large data sets. MapReduce
borrows from functional programming, where a programmer can define both a
Map task that maps a data set into another data set, and a Reduce task that
combines intermediate outputs into a final result. Although MapReduce was
originally developed for use by web enterprises in large data-centers, this
technique has gained a lot of attention from the scientific community for
its applicability in large parallel data analysis (including geographic,
high energy physics, genomics, etc..).

The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing recent
advances, identifying open issues, introducing developments and tools, and
presenting applications and enhancements for MapReduce (or very similar)
systems. We therefore cordially invite contributions that investigate these
issues, introduce new execution environments, apply performance evaluations
and show the applicability to science and enterprise applications.

Topics of Interest

MapReduce implementation issues and improvements
Implementation optimization for GPU and multi-core systems
Extensions to the programing model
Large-scale MapReduce (Grid and Desktop Grid)
Use of CDN and P2P techniques

Scientific data-sets analysis
Data and compute-intensive applications
Tools and environments for MapReduce
Algorithms using the MapReduce paradigm

Paper Submissions

Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 8 pages, including all
figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM proceedings
style (e.g., http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).
Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not
under consideration for another conference or a journal. Accepted papers
will be published by ACM in the conference workshops proceedings.
