Parallel Computing, Distributed and Large Scale

Motivation and Goals

There is an increasing interest in the professional and scientific communities towards the adequate employment of computing infrastructures. This requires the distribution of computational tasks across available resources. This session aims the discussion of all subjects concerning to concurrent, parallel, distributed and large-scale systems. We seek contributions, among others, on issues relating to execution environments for distributed and parallel programming, Grid and Clouds, distributed algorithms and architectures, and high-performance computing and e-science, covering the following topics (but not exclusively):

• Distributed systems and middleware
• Distributed algorithms, replication, high availability and fault-tolerance
• Algorithms, models and languages for concurrency
• Cluster, parallel and concurrent systems
• Peer-to-peer and overlay networks
• Web and Messaging Architectures, Middleware and Applications
• Virtualization technology, implementation and deployment
• Middleware and run-time support for HPC and scientific computing
• High-performance and scalable computing
• Grid, utility and cloud computing
• Autonomic Computing
• Parallel computing with accelerators (GPGPU, Intel Phi)
• Large-scale and Big-Data application scenarios
