DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION IS APRIL 11, 2011

Dramatic growth in data and equally rapid decline in the cost of highly integrated clusters has spurred the emergence of the data center as the platform of choice for a growing class of data-intensive applications. To encourage conversations between those developing applications, algorithms, software, and hardware for such “cloud” platforms, we are convening the 3rd  workshop on Cloud Computing and Its Applications (CCA’11). Programs and presentations from the two previous conference can be found on the web sites CCA08.org and CCA09.org.

CCA11 provides one day of invited talks on cloud computing, data intensive scalable computing, and related topics.

Topics of interest include:

• compute and storage cloud architectures and implementations
• map-reduce and its generalizations
• programming models and tools
• novel data-intensive computing applications
• data intensive scalable computing
• distributed data intensive computing
• content distribution systems for large data
• data management within and across data centers

Workshop Chairs

• Ian Foster, University of Chicago & Argonne National Laboratory
• Bob Grossman, University of Chicago
