（国際ＷＳ）CFP: The Fourth International Workshop on Quantitative Evaluation of large-scale Systems and Technologies (QuEST12)
by Hayato YAMANA 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

日本データベース学会のみなさま：山名＠早稲田です。 AINAに併設され４回目となりますQuEST12のワークショップの論文募集です。先に原先生より案内のありましたMAW12と同じ会場（福岡）での開催となります。大規模データの解析など、大規模システムに関連した投稿をお待ちしております。投稿締切：１０月１日採否連絡：１１月１日 ======== QuEST12 Call for Papers ======== The Fourth International Workshop on Quantitative Evaluation of large-scale Systems and Technologies (QuEST12) Fukuoka, Japan --- March 26-29, 2012 http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~kinli/QuEST12 In conjunction with the 26th IEEE AINA Conference http://www.aina-conference.org/2012 ================================================================= Modern society has become intrinsically dependent on large-scale distributed information and networking systems. These systems' availability, reliability, dependability, security, and privacy, all lend support to many core societal needs including: critical utility infrastructure, finance and banking, health services, production and manufacturing, leisure and entertainment, and e-Government. Improving our ability to engineer such systems requires a good understanding of how they behave at scale in the real world. Unfortunately, resource constraints have generally restricted research from pursuing such evaluation and testing work. Recently, test beds in the order of 100-node have become relatively commmonplace, and combined with the development of larger-scale platforms such as EmuLab and DETER, they have advanced our knowledge considerably. Following the success of QuEST09 in Bradford UK, QuEST10 in Perth Australia, and QuEST 11 in Singapore, this workshop focuses on the issues, requirements, and tools to support real-world representative at scale testing, and results obtained through such testing efforts. Statistically representative quantitative measures and evaluations required for the development and assessment of large-scale systems and applications are of particular interest. Original research works addressing the state-of-the art large-scale system testing, evaluation and behavioural prediction are solicited in the following areas (but not limited to): * Test bed development * Measurement and instrumentation tool development * In situ system testing * Real-world system modeling * Real-world application characterization * Real-world system emulation * Real-world case studies * Cyber security * Workload and traffic generation * Distributed system dependability, scalability, and capacity * Network engineering design * Large-scale engineering, scientific and data-intensive algorithms Submission Deadline: October 1, 2011 (23:59 PST) Author Notification: December 1, 2011 Author Registration Deadline: December 23, 2011 Final Manuscript Due: January 6, 2012 Original full papers of at most 6 (six) pages including figures and references in PDF (Proceedings Style: two columns, single-spaced, 10 font) are solicited. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present at the conference. Accepted papers will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (CSP) and archived in the Digital Library. Extended version of selected papers will be considered for publication in international journals. ===

The conference has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. The IMECS conferences serve as good platforms for our members and the entire engineering community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. Our IMECS committees have been formed with over two hundred and sixty committees members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors, and research scientists from over 30 countries. The last IMECS 2011 has attracted more than eight hundred participants from over 50 countries. All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-19251-1-4). Revised and expanded version of the selected papers may be included as book chapters in the standalone edited books under the framework of cooperation between IAENG and publishers like Springer. The abstracts will be indexed and available at major academic databases. The accepted papers will also be considered for publication in the special issues of the journal Engineering Letters, in IAENG journals and in edited books. For reference, the recent IAENG post conference edited books include titles like for example: Trends in Intelligent Systems and Computer Engineering, Advances in Communication Systems and Electrical Engineering, and Advances in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research by Springer.

地下ホールを会場として使います。ご興味のある学生の方などにぜひ積極的にご紹介ください。最後に開催時間割をつけてありますのでご覧ください。それでは、開催当日にお待ちしております。大森　匡＠sigmod-japan幹事・10月大会企画・電気通信大学 ------------- 以下は　9/22の参加募集文です　------------ -------- 補足説明：　今回の参加の会員資格の制度について若干説明いたします。 sigmod-japanと日本データベース学会は一体運営をしておりますので　dbjapanメーリングリストの登録者は既に日本データベース学会及び　sigmod-japan の会員です。会員でない方でも、会員登録を http://www.dbsj.org/Japanese/entry.html から登録していただければ大丈夫です。また、初めてという学生の方に今回の参加をお勧めいただくことも多いと思いますが、学生会員の入会費や年会費は＊無料＊です。当日参加していただいてから後で登録していただいても構いません。周囲に積極的にご推薦ください。次に、実際のSIGMOD2011の論文集は既に公開されています。今回の報告に出てくる基調講演は　http://www.sigmod2011.org/keynote_1.shtml に概要があり、各論文は DBLP経由でACM digital libraryを見ると http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/sigmod/sigmod2011.html と読めるわけですが、基調講演自体は　1ページ概要しか出ていません。　今後の巨大データ処理の技術動向を考える上では本会の国際会議報告会　は論文紹介に留まらず、貴重な情報を提供するよう　報告者の先生が相当　工夫しておられます。次に、IBMのInfosphere Streamsの講演ですが、手元の資料は強力に充実しております。ストリームコンピューティング　と言われても　今一つ具体的な成功例の感触が弱いという印象の方、ぜひ今回ご参加ください。 Streamsの製品自体の解説は　IBM社のWEBサイトを見ると　出ておりますが、（今調べてみると　こういうURLがあります： http://www-06.ibm.com/software/jp/data/infosphere/streams/ ）今回のご講演では、Streamsのプログラミング処理系の中身の話や記述適用例など盛り沢山です。　こういう中身で1時間強のご講演を当事者の方から頂く機会は中々ないと思います。サイバーなDBに興味のある学生にぜひご聴講いただきたいです。ぜひ、初見の方でもお誘いあわせの上、ご参加ください。大森 ============== 参加募集　========== 各位　SIGMOD-JAPANの幹事を務めております大森（電気通信大学）です。来週10月1日（土）に、sigmod-japan恒例となりました第48回支部大会として、国際会議報告と特別講演　　http://www.sigmodj.org/Events/taikai48.html を、表参道にある青山学院大学　アスタジオ http://www.aoyamagakuin.jp/practice/redevelopment/project/astudio.html にて開催いたしますので、そのご案内を差し上げます。（プログラムと参加手順は　最後につけてあります。） ------ 今回の目玉１: SIGMOD2011　　-------- 　今回の国際会議報告は　ACM SIGMOD2011（６・１２開催、アテネ、渡辺陽介先生＠東工大）です。　今回の報告では、午前に、SIGMODの基調講演で行なわれました「Internet Scale Storage」と「科学データ管理」いう発表の報告を行ないます。これらは、DB研究の立場から、巨大データ・クラウドコンピューティング・科学技術データ処理・脳計算（シナプス）とインデックス、など米国のチャレンジを取り上げており、デジタル論文集を読むだけではわからない中身となっています。また、併設のPODS2011の基調講演からは、データの来歴管理(Data Provenance) の具体的な研究体系の話を取り上げています。これも　なかなか面白い話で、上手い体系を作るのに皆苦心しているが重要性は日本でも良く認識されている領域と思います。　午後の報告では、best paper を中心に、クラウドソーシングとDB技術の統合利用方式など、ホットな個別研究のご紹介を頂きます。 ------- 今回の目玉２：　IBM　のストリーム計算システム　------ 　さらに、今回の支部大会では、特別講演として、午後の後半部に、 IBMのストリーム計算プラットフォーム　IBM InfoSphere Streams のご紹介を　IBM東京基礎研究所の安江俊明博士にお引き受け頂きました。ここ数年のSIGMODなどでIBMから出ていたストリーム計算システムの具体的な中身を発表していただけます。巨大データ＋リアルタイムなデータ処理＋高価値創出と、最近のITトレンドを牽引するIBM社のストリームシステム体系のプログラミングモデルや実装モデル、Streams マイニングツールキットの使用例など、この機会でないと聞けない充実した中身となっております。今回は、とりわけ学生会員の皆様にぜひご参加いただきたいと存じます。　内容・場所ともに先端的で充実した企画ですので、ぜひ会員の皆様お誘いあわせの上　10月1日（土）に　青山学院大・アスタジオ（表参道）まで　足をお運びください。　連休が続く時機ですので、WEB経由の事前参加申し込み締め切りは 9月27日（火）終わりまで延長します。その後でも、当日受付で今回は　大丈夫だろうと思います。（来週　また　流します！）皆様　ぜひ　ご参加ください。　大森　匡・ SIGMOD-japan 幹事・10月大会担当電気通信大学・大学院情報システム学研究科　　　　情報システム基盤学専攻データベース学講座　　　 http://www.is.uec.ac.jp
