* CALL FOR PAPERS
* Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience
* Special issue on "Multi/many-core computing for parallel metaheuristics"
*************************************************************************************


Submission deadline: July 13, 2015

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (CC-PE) journal will
publish a special issue dedicated to "Multi/many-core computing for
parallel metaheuristics". Please submit your contribution to Manuscript
Central (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cpe) as 'McM2015' special issue

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 special issue 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. PICT PICT
- 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.

ALGOCLOUD 2015
14-15 September 2015, Patras, Greece
http://algo2015.upatras.gr/algocloud/
Paper submission deadline: 22 June 2015, 23:59 AoE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The International Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Cloud Computing (ALGOCLOUD 2015)
is an annual event co-located with ALGO 2015 (http://algo2015.upatras.gr/)
aiming to tackle the diverse new topics in the emerging area of algorithmic aspects
of computing and data management in the Cloud. The increasing adoption of cloud computing
introduces a variety of parallel and distributed algorithmic models and architectures.
To leverage elastic cloud resources, scalability has to be a fundamental architectural
design trait of new cloud databases. This challenge is manifested in new data models
("NoSQL"), replication, caching and partitioning schemes, relaxed consistency and
transaction guarantees as well as new protocols, APIs, indexing and storage services.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in cloud
computing algorithms, service design and data architectures to exchange ideas and
contribute to the development of this exciting and emerging new field.

ALGOCLOUD welcomes submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as
application papers. Demonstration papers and high quality survey papers are also welcome.
As such, contributions may span a wide range of Algorithms for modeling, constructing and
evaluating operations and services in a variety of systems, including (but not limited to)
virtualized Infrastructures, Cloud Platforms, Datacenters, Mobile ad-hoc networks,
Peer-to-Peer and Grid Systems, HPC architectures, etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS

Topics of interest addressed by this workshop include, but are not limited to:

- Algorithmic Aspects of Elasticity and Scalability for distributed, large-scale
data stores (e.g., NoSQL and columnar databases)
- Search and Retrieval Algorithms for cloud infrastructures
- Monitoring and analysis of elasticity for virtualized environments
- NoSQL, Schemaless Data Modeling, Integration
- Caching and Load-Balancing
- Storage Structures and Indexing for Cloud Databases
- New Algorithmic Aspects of Parallel and Distributed Computing for Cloud Applications
- Scalable Machine Learning, Analytics and Data Science
- High Availability, Reliability, Failover
- Transactional Models and Algorithms for Cloud Databases
- Query Languages and Processing, Programming Models
- Consistency, Replication and Partitioning CAP, Data Structures and Algorithms
for Eventually Consistent Stores
