***************************************************************************
ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS DCPerf 2012

The 2nd international workshop on Data Center Performance

DCPerf will be held in conjunction with the 32nd Int'l Conference on
Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2012)
June 21st, 2012, Macau, China

http://www.zurich.ibm.com/dcperf12

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

   Data centers have become an integral part of the backbone
infrastructure for information technology. In particular, they provide
a cost-efficient solution for provisioning a wide range of computing
resources in diverse environments such as for business, scientific, or
mobile purposes. Owing to the rapid growth of user-defined and
user-generated programs, applications and content, the complexity of
deploying and operating data centers is expected to increase.
Considering the high volume of mixed workloads, the diversity of
services offered, and the increasing mobility of users across
geographically distributed areas, the performance optimization of data
centers has become ever more necessary and challenging, especially
concerning criteria such as scalability, reliability, manageability,
power efficiency, area density, and operating costs. As a result,
adaptive and autonomic optimization strategies are essential for
managing the multi-dimensional complexity of data center performance.
   The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion
to find and identify suitable strategies to enable effective and
scalable data center performance optimizations. We are looking for
papers that present new techniques, introduce new methodologies,
propose new research directions, or discuss strategies for resolving
open performance problems at all layers of a data center.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
Data center communication
Intra/Inter DC communication
Network Protocols
Security
Data center performance
Power/Reliability
Performance evaluation/modeling
Data center systems
DC architectures
Resource allocation
Content distribution
Empirical studies
Data center virtualization
Hardware support
Hypervisors
Virtualized storage
Data center applications
Cloud computing
Content distribution
Hadoop applications

Important dates
Paper Registration and Submission: Jan 30th, 2012
Notification of Acceptance: Mar 7th, 2012
Final Manuscript Due: Mar 30th, 2012

Submission Guideline
Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages plus up to 2 over-length pages
in IEEE 8.5x11 format. Accepted papers will be published in the
combined ICDCS 2012 workshop proceedings and will be available through
IEEE Xplore.
