*WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
As data volumes increase at exponential speed in more and more application 
fields of science, the challenges posed by handling Big Data gain an increasing 
importance. Large scientific experiments, such as climate modeling, genome 
mapping, and high-energy physics simulations generate data volumes reaching 
petabytes per year, futher used for real-time or offline processing. Initially 
designed for powerful and expensive supercomputers, such applications have seen 
an increasing adoption on clouds, exploiting their elasticity and economical 
model. 

However, running such applications in an efficient fashion on clouds is 
challenging. One such open challenge is how to handle this data deluge. 
Sharing, disseminating and analyzing large data sets has become a critical 
issue despite the deployment of petascale computing systems, and optical 
networking speeds reaching up to 100 Gbps. While Map/Reduce covers a large 
fraction of the development space, there are still many applications that are 
better served by other models and systems. In such a context, we need to 
embrace new programming models, scheduling schemes, hybrid infrastructures and 
scale out of single datacenters to geographically distributed deployments in 
order to cope with these new challenges effectively. 

The BigDataCloud workshop provides a platform for the dissemination of recent 
research efforts that explicitly aim at addressing these challenges. It 
supports the presentation of advanced solutions for the efficient management of 
Big Data in the context of Cloud computing, new development and deployment 
efforts in running data-intensive computing workloads. In particular, we are 
interested in how the use of Cloud-based technologies can meet the data 
intensive scientific challenges of HPC applications that are not well served by 
the current supercomputers or grids, and are being ported to Cloud platforms. 
The goal of the workshop is to support the assessment of the current state, 
introduce future directions, and present architectures and services for future 
Clouds supporting data intensive computing.

BigDataCloud 2013 follows the joint BDMC / CGWS workshop held in conjunction 
with EuroPar 2012. Its goal is to aggregate the data management and 
clouds/grids/p2p communities built around the previous editions of these 
workshops in order to complement the data handling issues with a comprehensive 
system / infrastructure perspective.


*TOPICS OF INTEREST:
The BigDataCloud workshop calls for contributions that address fundamental 
research and system issues in Cloud data management including but not limited 
to the following:

        Cloud storage architectures for Big Data 
        Reliability of data intensive applications and services running on the 
Cloud 
        Query processing and indexing in Cloud computing systems 
        Data privacy and security in Clouds 
        Data-intensive computing on hybrid infrastructures (Grids/Clouds/P2P)
        Cloud storage resource management 
        Data-intensive Cloud-based applications 
        Content delivery networks using storage Clouds 
        Data intensive scalable computing on Clouds 
        Data management within and across multiple geographically distributed 
data centers 
        Data handling in MapReduce based computations 
        Data management in HPC Clouds 
        Programming models for data-intensive Cloud computing 
        Elasticity for Cloud data management systems 
        Self-* and adaptive mechanisms.
        Many-Task Computing in the Cloud
        Performance evaluation of Cloud environments and technologies
        Data streaming and dynamic applications on Clouds


*WORKSHOP CHAIRS:
Alexandru Costan, Inria Rennes-Bretagne Atlantique, France
Frdric Desprez, Inria / ENS Lyon, France


*PAPER SUBMISSION:
Authors are invited to submit research and application papers not exceeding 10 
pages following the Springer LNCS format. We solicit the submission of academic 
workshop papers representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted 
papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, 
technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Papers should be prepared as 
the .pdf files and submitted electronically via EasyChair. 


*INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS:
Submission of the paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one 
of the authors must register and present the paper at the workshop. Accepted 
papers that are presented at the workshop, will be published in a revised form 
in a special Euro-Par Workshop Volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science 
(LNCS) series after the Euro-Par conference.


*IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission Deadline: May 31, 2013
Notification of Acceptance: July 8, 2013
Submission of camera-ready papers: October 3, 2013
Workshop Date: August 26, 2013
