Fourth Workshop on Large Scale Distributed Systems and Middleware, Zurich, Switzerland
This year's edition of the workshop will devote special attention to promoting exchange of ideas between the theory and systems communities on the topics related to design, implementation, performance and underlying principles of large-scale distributed systems and cloud computing.
The following topics are scheduled to be on the agenda:
- consistency, reliability and fault-tolerance models for cloud computing infrastructures and the technologies to support them (e.g. transactions, state-machine replication);
- novel storage organisations for large scale systems (e.g. no-SQL databases or key-value storage), snapshot and weak isolation models, scalable and elastic transaction approaches (e.g. mini-transactions), wide-area transactions;
- large-scale infrastructure technologies (e.g. Chubby, Paxos, Zookeeper, group membership services, distributed registries);
- support and programming models for scalable cloud-hosted applications and services (e.g. map-reduce, global file systems, pub-sub, multicast, group communication);
- power and other resource management tools (e.g. virtualization and consolidation, resource allocation, load balancing, resource placement, routing, scheduling);
- privacy tools and models (e.g. digital identity management, encrypting private data in the cloud, information flow in data centres).
The event will include a mix of presentation of accepted papers and as well as keynotes from prominent industry speakers who will speak about the architectures of the world's most demanding cloud platforms.For further information, please visit:
