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

 

The Doctoral Symposium of the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, 

Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid) provides a forum for students in the 

areas of scalable Clusters, widely distributed Grids and emerging Clouds 

to obtain feedback and advice on their Ph.D. dissertation topics and 

research career. The specific goals of the Symposium are to provide 

advice to students for a successful thesis completion, to enable 

students to evaluate their research in the context of global trends, and 

to engender fruitful interactions and networking between student 

researchers at a similar stage in their careers.

 

Selected students will present their work in front of an audience that 

consists of both their peers and a committee of expert researchers. 

The program committee consists of experts in the field, which provide 

their valuable feedback to the ongoing research work of participating 

students. They will also have the option to display their work as a

poster.

 

 

*** Topic Areas ***

The symposium is open to all Ph.D. students carrying out research on 

topics related to the CCGrid symposium interest areas. Example topics 

of interest include, but are not limited to: 

- Architectures, Systems and Designs for cluster, Grid and Cloud computing 

- Scalability issues in Grid and Cloud computing environments 

- Middleware for scalable distributed and cluster computing 

- Scheduling, load balancing and Resource management paradigms

- Programming Models, Tools, Problem Solving Environments and Applications 

- Fault-Tolerant and reliable Computing

- Trust, Security and Data Privacy on public and hybrid clouds

- Service-Oriented Cyberinfrastructure, including discovery, composition 

  and orchestration

- Multicore, Accelerator-based and Heterogeneous Computing

- Autonomic and Nature inspired Computing 

- Abstractions and Models for Dynamic, distributed and data intensive 

  applications

- Community and collaborative computing networks 

- High-performance networking 

- Economic and Utility computing models for clusters, Grids and Clouds

 

 

*** Important Dates ***

- Submission Deadline:                January 15th, 2012

- Notification of acceptance:     February 6th, 2012

- Camera-ready submission:      February 27th, 2012

 

 

*** Submission ***

Each submission needs to have a Ph.D. student as the sole author or as the 

primary author with his/her thesis advisor(s) as co-authors. Students must

be officially enrolled in a Ph.D. Program at the time of submission. It is 

expected that they would have one to two years left in their candidature so 

that they have enough time to incorporate the suggestions made at the 

Symposium.

 

The submission should contain the following points:

- An introduction with the specific research proposal that describes the 

  problem that the thesis aims to address

- The significance of the work and its relevance to the CCGrid symposium 

  topic areas

- Related work and their shortcomings that the candidate's research aims to 

  address

- Explanation of the proposed approach and the research methodology adopted

- The results obtained so far, remaining objectives and the challenges 

  expected to be tackled

- Expected contributions of the research and the novelty and benefits of 

  the suggested solutions

  

The submissions will be limited to between 4-6 pages of double column text, 

using single spaced 10 point size type on Letter (8.5"x11"), following the 

IEEE Computer Society proceedings guidelines. The proceedings of the 

doctoral symposium will be published as part of the CCGrid 2012 proceedings, 

as well as in the IEEE Digital Library.

 

Submissions should be made electronically via the online submission site:
