First International Workshop on Data Sharing, Consistency and DSM systems

DSC 2007

http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/laurent.lefevre/dsc2007


Organized At
IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid
(CCGrid 2007)
May 14-17, 2007, Rio De Janeiro
http://ccgrid07.lncc.br

Scope

Data sharing and automatic consistency management provides ease of programming for parallel and distributed applications in cluster and grid environments. A lot of research work has been done in these research fields, especially in Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems. But the Grid environment comes with new challenges, e.g. scalability, fault tolerance, and network latency. The DSC 2007 workshop continues the tradition of its successful six ancestor workshops on Distributed Shared Memory with a broader scope. The workshop is organized at the CCGrid 2007 symposium and will serve as a major forum to present and share the latest research results of the work by international researchers, developers, and users. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: We also encourage authors to present novel ideas, critique of existing work, and application examples, which demonstrate how DSC technology could be effectively deployed. We also welcome practical work which applies DSC in novel and interesting ways. You can find here http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/laurent.lefevre/dsm2006 program and slides of last DSM workshop.

Paper Submissions

Authors are invited to submit papers of not more than 6 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines, see http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a PostScript printer. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
