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 application - 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, and must describe original work not
previously published or concurrently. The papers should follow the IEEE
8.5"x11" two-column format. 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. Selected high
quality papers will be invited for a special journal issue in Future
Generation Computer System. Program
Venue
IT4RIs will take place at ISEP Campus. There will be a registration desk at the entrance of ISEP (name of the street - R. Dr. Antonio Bernardino de Almeida, 431). Regarding your registration, it covers coffee breaks, lunch and a cocktail that will take place after RTSS@Work. All these events will be at ISEP. RTSS@Work will be held as the last session on the Workshop day of RTSS and will be open to all participants of the Workshops and Conference. Important Dates
