Call for Workshops

The Call for Workshops is now closed. The accepted workshops can be found at http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/CCGrid2014/program-workshops-tutorials.html.    

The organizers of the 14th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid'14) call for proposals for workshops to be held with CCGrid'14. The workshops will be held on May 26-29, 2014.

Workshops should provide forums for discussion among researchers and practitioners on focused topics or emerging research areas relevant to the community. Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some combination of the above. Workshops could be scheduled for half a day or a full day, depending on interest, space constraints, and organizer preference. Organizers should design workshops for approximately 20-40 participants, to balance impact and effective discussion.
