Challenges of Large Applications in Distributed Environments
June 7th, 2004, Honolulu, HI
http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/clade2004/

(In conjunction with the 13th International Symposium on High
Performance Distributed Computing  (HPDC 13))

CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------

Advances in networking, high-end computers, large data stores and middleware
capabilities are ushering in a new era of large scale, distributed
applications, which dynamically marshal resources across a heterogeneous, 
distributed environment. Along with these opportunities come new challenges.

The goal of this workshop is to encourage innovation by addressing the
complex 
issues

that arise in large-scale applications of distributed computation, and 
to promote the development of innovative applications that effectively use
distributed resources and adapt to a wide range of heterogeneity and
dynamics in space and time. This includes development, deployment,
management 
and evaluations of large scale applications in science, engineering,
medicine, 
business, economics, education, and other disciplines, on Grids and other 
distributed heterogeneous and dynamic computing environments. Issues 
related to irregularity of applications and algorithms in space and time,
variability in programming environments, heterogeneity of software and 
hardware platforms, dynamics, ad hoc behaviors and unreliability of
execution environments, etc., in the context of these applications are 
of particular interest. 

This workshop promotes the exchange of ideas, information, and novel
developments among universities, federal laboratories, and industry.
It fosters multidisciplinary collaborative solutions to issues arising in 
large-scale distributed applications.  Topics of interest to this workshop 
include (but are not limited to) applications that illustrate advances in 
the following areas:

* Very large-scale distributed applications
* Autonomic applications and runtime systems
* Application-specific portals in distributed environments
* Distributed problem-solving environments
* Distributed, collaborative science applications
* Heterogeneous spatial and temporal applications, e.g., with heterogeneous
  characteristics 
  in time, space and domain
* Distributed, multidimensional, dynamically adaptive applications
* Applications of new theories and tools for constructing adaptive software
  systems
* Variable granularity environments
* Examples of distributed applications benefiting from advances in
  o Resource management, dynamic scheduling or load balancing in
    heterogeneous environments
  o Runtime support for intelligent, adaptive systems
  o Programming models for heterogeneous and dynamic  computation
  o Portability, quality of service, or fault-tolerance in cluster and grid
    computation
  o Performance analysis, evaluation and prediction of adaptive systems

PAPER SUBMISSIONS 
CLADE 2004 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work.  Please
submit full papers (10 pages maximum, IEEE CS format). Electronic submission

is strongly encouraged. Hard copies will be accepted only if electronic
submission 
is not possible.  Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the 
authors to register and present the paper. Any questions concerning hardcopy

submissions or any other issues may be directed to the Program Chair.

IMPORTANT DATES 
* Submission deadline: February 01, 2004
* Notification of acceptance: March 01, 2004
* Final Manuscript due: March 28, 2004
* Workshop: June 07, 2004

PUBLICATION
The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press
and distributed at 
the conference.

SPECIAL ISSUE
The best papers will be chosen for journal-length papers in an issue of
Cluster Computing, 
The Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications.
