            Call for Papers - Submission Due Date: January 30th, 2012

        The 2nd International IEEE Workshop on Data Center Performance
                                 (DCPerf?12)

                         June 21st, 2012, Macau, China
                       http://www.zurich.ibm.com/dcperf12

                             in conjunction with

    The 32nd International IEEE Conference on Distributed Computing Systems
                                 (ICDCS'12)
                           http://icdcs-2012.org/


Data centers have become an integral part of the backbone infrastructure for
information technology. In particular, they provide a cost efficient
solution for provisioning a wide range of computing resources in diverse
environments such as business, scientific, or mobile. Due to the rapid
growth of user- defined and user-generated programs, applications and
content, the complexity of deploying and operating data centers is expected
to increase. Considering the high volume of mixed workloads, the diversity
of services offered, and the increasing mobility of users across
geographically distributed areas, the performance optimization of data
centers has become ever more necessary and challenging, especially
concerning criteria such as scalability, reliability, manageability, power
efficiency, area density, and operating costs. As a result, adaptive and
autonomic optimization strategies are essential in 
managing the multi-dimensional complexity of data center performance.    
The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion to find
and identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable data
center performance optimizations. We are looking for papers that present new
techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or
discuss strategies for resolving open performance problems at all layers of
a data center.

Topics of interest include: (but are not limited to)
- Data Center Communication
  - Intra/Inter DC Communication
  - Network Protocols
  - Security
