7th Scheduling for Large Scale Systems Workshop

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.   --   June 28, - June 30, 2012.

Presentation

The University of Pittsburgh, Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon and the University of Hawai'i at Manoa organize a workshop in Pittsburgh, United States from Thursday, June 28, 2012 to Saturday, June 30, 2012 (until noon). The workshop will focus on scheduling and algorithms for large-scale systems. This will be the seventh edition of this workshop series, after Aussois in August 2004, San Diego in November 2005, Aussois in May 2008, Knoxville in May 2009, Aussois in May 2010, and Aussois in May 2011. The success of the previous workshops greatly motivates us to repeat this event.

The workshop will be structured as a set of thematic half-day sessions, mainly focused on scheduling and algorithms for large-scale systems. In addition to the talks (about 20 minutes each),plenty of time would be left for informal discussion and exchanges.

The workshop is by invitation only and there will be no registration fee. Funding from INRIA, ENS Lyon and The University of Pittsburgh is able to cover the cost of the meals and social events of all participants, including a reception on Wednesday night, a dinner cruise on Thursday and an excursion on Friday to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater house.

Organizing Committee

• Henri Casanova, Rami Melhem, Yves Robert, Frédéric Vivien and Taieb Znati.

Practical informations

• Place of the workshop: CS Department - 5317 Sennot Square ( entry from Bouquet street)
