PODC 2015 Call for Workshop Proposals
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

34th Annual ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing
July 21-23, 2015
Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain
http://www.podc.org/

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

The 34th Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of
Distributed Computing (PODC 2015) invites proposals for up to 1.5 day
workshops that are closely related to the current scope of the
conference or are new emerging research fields complementing or
extending it, including but not restricted to:

- algorithms for distributed systems and their complexity
- cluster, cloud, grid and high-performance computing
- communication networks: protocols, architectures, services,
applications
- sensor, mobile, ad-hoc, robot and peer-to-peer networks
- concurrent programming, synchronization, shared and transactional
memory
- cryptographic protocols and system security
- distributed operating systems, databases and programming languages
- dynamic, adaptive and machine learning based distributed algorithms
- self-stabilizing, self-organizing and autonomic systems
- formal methods, semantics and verification of concurrent systems
- fault tolerance, reliability, availability of distributed systems
- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- information theory, codes and reliable communication
- Internet applications, social networks and complex networks
- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
- nanonetworks and biological distributed algorithms
- quantum and optics based distributed algorithms
- energy issues of parallel and distributed algorithms

Workshops will be held in conjunction with PODC on Monday 20 July 2015,
or, in exceptional cases, after the main PODC conference program.
Interested members of the community are invited to send proposals for
workshops by email to the workshop chair:

Elad Michael Schiller <elad@chalmers.se>

The following are required in a workshop proposal:

- Title of the workshop;

- An abstract describing the main focus of the workshop and why it
would be of interest to the PODC community;

- Names and contact information of the organizers;

- Estimated number of submitted and accepted papers, duration of the
workshop, and a brief description of the review process.

Although PODC will provide organizational and administrative support
for the co-located workshops, they must be prepared to bear their own
expenses (e.g., those associated with the meeting rooms and catering).
The budget of PODC and the workshops could be integrated in case of
ACM-based workshops, but the details will need to be worked out.

The proposals should be submitted to the workshop chair as soon as
possible, but no later than

January 6, 2015.

Notification of acceptance will be sent shortly after the deadline.

-----------------------------------------
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
-----------------------------------------
Plenty of hard problems in a wide range of application areas,
including engineering design, telecommunications, logistics, etc. have
been modelled and tackled successfully with metaheuristics
(evolutionary algorithms, scatter or swarm search, simulated
annealing, Tabu search, 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, parallel computing has
recently undergone a significant evolution in terms of performance and
energy consumption with the emergence of multi-core and many-core
computing technologies (GPU, MIC, etc.). Indeed, accelerators and
coprocessors have powered many parallel and/or distributed
environements including high-performance workstations, hybrid clusters
among them the top ranked Top500 and Green500 ones, and computational
grids and clouds.
The design and implementation of parallel metaheuristics for the above
environments raise several issues related in the same time to the
characteristics of these hardware execution machines and those of the
parallel models of metaheuristics. 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.

-----------------------------------------
TOPICS INCLUDE (BUT NOT LIMITED TO):
-----------------------------------------
Parallel models (island, master-worker, multi-start, etc.) for
metaheuristics revisited for multi-core and/or many-core (MMC)
environments.
Parallel mechanisms for hybridization of metaheuristics on MMC environments.
Implementation of parallel metaheuristics on MMC workstations, MMC
clusters, MMC grids/clouds, etc.
Software frameworks for the design and implementation of parallel
and/or distributed MMC metaheuristics.
Computational/theoretical studies reporting results on solving
challenging problems using MMC computing.
Performance metrics for MMC parallel and/or distributed metaheuristics.
Energy-aware optimization for/with MMC parallel and/or distributed
metaheuristics.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit papers to the McM'2015 workshop. During
submission authors will be required to specify which track they are
submitting their paper to. Submitted papers to McM'2015 must be
formatted according to MIC 2015 guidelines and submitted
electronically through the MIC 2015 paper submission site. Full
instructions including formatting guidelines and electronic templates
(both LaTeX and Microsoft Word) are available on the MIC 2015 website.
Submission is only electronic, in PDF format, using the easychair
system.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the
workshop to present the work. Authors will be required to agree to
this requirement at the time of submission.
All papers are due electronically by the deadline reported above.
Submissions that do not meet the length or formatting requirements
will not be accepted for review. No email or fax submissions will be
accepted. Notification of receipt of an electronically submitted paper
will be emailed to the designated contact author soon after receipt.
If there are problems with the electronic submission, the program
chairs will contact the designated author by email.
If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop,
please feel free to contact the workshop organizers.

-----------------------------------------
SPECIAL ISSUE
-----------------------------------------
In addition, a special issue of an appropriate journal (to be
announced later) is planned to be published. Participants will be
invited to submit extended versions of their work for consideration.
