2nd International Workshop on
|
Aims and scope
Real-time applications (disaster warning and
response, traffic flow control, weather monitoring and forecasting, etc.) are
among the most challenging applications to develop, deploy and control on
distributed infrastructure, but can be of great current and future value to
research, industry and public safety/security. Applications that fuse
real-time requirements with environmental science require the establishment
of dedicated agile e-infrastructure that can provide fundamental storage and
processing capacity that is able to respond effectively to time-critical
events. To address many of the real-time scientific
challenges facing the research community and society at large today, it is
necessary to be able to analyse and process large quantities of heterogeneous
data acquired in several different scientific domains and at present
distributed across many different kinds of existing ICT infrastructure.
Interdisciplinary research (for example on the topic of climate change)
requires substantial cross-domain knowledge and expertise, and the effective
extraction of that knowledge and expertise for computational science requires
new technical solutions for enhancing collaboration and for increasing
interoperability between ICT services used within different research
disciplines to perform their analyses. Of particular concern is how to manage
real-time aspects of research (e-)infrastructure,
including the management of large quantities of data being generated by
sensor deployments in real-time, the fast orchestration of workflows on
virtual infrastructure in response to real-time events (e.g. earthquakes) or in
response to irregular demands on resources by researchers, and the search and
aggregation of research data from multiple sources and catalogues on-demand.
Solutions that make use of new developments in Cloud, virtual infrastructure,
or software engineering tools and methodologies are particularly timely in
this context. The workshop for "interoperable infrastructures
for interdisciplinary big data science (IT4RIs)" focuses on practical
aspects of the design, development and operation of research e-infrastructure
and virtual research environments, as well as the interaction between ICT
infrastructure and user communities. This year, the workshop specifically highlights
two important topics in those contexts: nearly real-time data processing and time-critical
applications in Clouds. The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers
and developers to exchange their experiences and ideas on building nearly
real-time data processing solutions, and models for programming, executing
and controlling time-critical applications on virtualized infrastructures
(e.g., Clouds). Topics
Authors
are invited to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate current research
in all aspects of interoperable infrastructure for interdisciplinary big data
science. The workshop solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics,
including but not limited to: -
Real-time guarantee for sensor networks -
Real-time data quality control -
Time-critical applications in Clouds -
Nearly real-time data processing in research infrastructures -
Real-time data analytics -
Citation and identification of dynamic data -
Disaster early warning systems -
Live event broadcasting in Clouds -
Reference model for time-critical systems -
Real-time decision support -
Time-critical data processing workflows -
Virtualized infrastructure for time-critical applications -
Software-defined networking for time-critical applications -
Self-adapting big data applications on Cloud -
Software workbenches for time-critical applications Paper submission and publication
All
papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via online submission
system, following the IEEE conference
proceedings format (10pt font size) and must describe original work
not previously published or concurrently. We welcome full papers (up to 10 pages,
substantive work) and short papers (up to 6 pages, work in progress). An
author of each accepted paper is required to register and present the paper
in the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE
Computer Society Press, US. Selected high
quality papers will be considered for a special journal issue. Program (tbd) Important Dates
