SSS is an international forum for researchers and practitioners in the
design and development of distributed systems with self-* properties such as
self- stabilizing, self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing,
self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and
self-protecting. Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point
in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as
peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc
networks, robotic networks, opportunistic networks etc. Moreover, new
applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health
and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process
control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of distributed
systems. We particularly encourage the submissions spanning these areas of
applications.

The conference provides a wide spectrum of topics, covered in the following
tracks:
* Self-stabilization
* Fault-tolerant and Dependable Systems
* Formal Methods, Safety, and Security
* Ad-hoc, Sensor and Mobile Networks, Cyberphysical Systems
* Cloud Computing, P2P, Self-organizing and Autonomous Systems

IMPORTANT DATES
* Abstract Submission: April 16, 2014 (UTC-12)
* Paper Submission: April 21, 2014 (UTC-12)
* Notification: June 9, 2014
* Camera Ready Submission: July 4, 2014


PAPER SUBMISSION

-----------------------------------------
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
-----------------------------------------
Plenty of hard problems in a wide range of areas including engineering
design, telecommunications, logistics, biology, etc., have been
modeled and tackled successfully with optimization approaches. These
approaches fall into two major categories: meta-heuristics
(evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm, ant or bee colonies,
simulated annealing, Tabu search, etc.) and exact methods
(Branch-and-X, dynamic programming, etc.).

Nowadays, optimization problems become increasingly large and complex,
forcing the use of parallel computing for their efficient and
effective resolution. On the other hand, multi and many-core computing
(e.g. GPU, FPGA) has recently undergone a significant evolution with
the emergence of new high performance computing environments. Indeed,
multi and many-core computing are provided in laptops, high
performance workstations, clusters, grids, and clouds.

The design and implementation of parallel optimization methods raise
several issues related to the characteristics of these methods and
those of the new hardware execution environments at the same time.
This workshop seeks to provide an opportunity for the researchers to
present their original contributions on the joint use of advanced
(discrete or continuous, single or multi-objective, static or dynamic,
deterministic or stochastic, hybrid) optimization methods and
distributed and/or parallel multi/many-core computing, and any related
issues.

-----------------------------------------
The POMM Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
the following:
-----------------------------------------
- Parallel models for optimization methods.
- Parallel mechanisms for hybridization of optimization methods.
- Redesign of parallel real or simulation-based optimization algorithms.
- Implementation issues of parallel optimization algorithms.
- Parallel-aware frameworks for parallel optimization techniques.
- Computational studies reporting results for hard and challenging
optimization problems.
- Issues and novel approaches and experiments in parallel solving
real-world applications.
- Theory and performance metrics for parallel optimization.

-----------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
-----------------------------------------
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on
above and other topics related to Parallel Computing for Simulation
and Optimization. Submitted papers must not have been published or
simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover
page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone
numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the
corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list
of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words. The full

Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Short papers (up to 4
pages), poster papers and posters (please refer to
http://hpcs2014.cisedu.info/home/posters for the posters submission
details) will also be accepted for submission. In case of multiple
authors, an indication of which author is responsible for
correspondence must be indicated. Please include page numbers on all
submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful
comments.

Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript to the Workshop submission
site at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pomm2014.
Acknowledgement will be sent within 48 hours of submission.

Only PDF files will be accepted. Each paper will receive a minimum of
three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality,
relevance, contributions, technical clarity and presentation.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register and present the paper, if accepted. Authors of accepted
papers must guarantee that their papers will be registered and
presented at the workshop.

-----------------------------------------
