CALL FOR PAPERS

HDCC 2017

The 1st International Workshop on Heterogeneous Distributed Cloud Computing

December 5-8 2017

https://sites.google.com/view/hdcc/

***********************************************

Co-located with the 10th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud
Computing (UCC 2017)

As the sun sets on the first wave of cloud computing, characterized largely by
homogeneity and large scale consolidated resources, it is time to consider the
exciting challenges that will arrive with the next wave. With the tenability of
Moore's law and Dennard scaling in the near to medium term being widely
questioned, a new cloud comprised of a more heterogeneous mix of interconnected
compute units must be considered as a possibility. Add to this advances in Open
Source Hardware which will significantly reduce the cost of developing bespoke
processors and it becomes a credible proposition rather than an academic
curiosity. Then consider the proliferation of compute workloads more suited to
today's GPUs or FPGAs, many of which will be driven by data collected from the
edge of the network and it becomes clear that the cloud must evolve to become
more Heterogeneous and Distributed. Indeed, the established players have taken
initial steps in this direction but there is still much work to do to fully
realize the potential of these new architectures which are qualitatively
different from what has come before.


The goals of this workshop are to understand how today's cloud systems will
evolve in this direction, to understand what they will ultimately become and to
understand what this means for both cloud users and applications and more
generally to the industry itself.


Topics of interest include:
- Novel cloud based applications that can leverage heterogeneity and distributed
computing capability
- Application deployment techniques and mechanisms for more distributed,
heterogeneous contexts
- Distributed storage solutions particularly solutions which understand data
storage and access requirements in the distributed context
- Resource sharing between a complex mix of disparate compute and storage
resources
- Management systems for aggregates of distributed, heterogeneous compute and
storage resources
- Characterization of different compute, network and storage entities including
large scale data centres, regional data centres, micro data centres
- Ownership models in heterogeneous distributed clouds
- Security solutions which support trusted application deployment over
heterogeneous distributed resources
- Charging & Pricing models in heterogeneous distributed clouds
- Auto-scaling and scheduling over distributed and heterogeneous clouds
- Novel virtualization solutions for heterogeneous compute contexts


HDCC is a satellite workshop of the 10th IEEE/ACM International Conference on
Utility and Cloud Computing, a premier conference addressing industry relevant
developments in cloud computing.
