5th International Workshop on Feedback Control Implementation and Design in Computing Systems and Networks (FeBID 2010)
http://www.controlofsystems.org/febid2010/
Sara Bouchenak (Grenoble University), Eric Rutten (INRIA Grenoble)
FeBID 2010 solicits original research papers on applying feedback control and mathematical optimization techniques to analyzing and designing computing systems, networks, and services, such as those in data centers, enterprise systems, real-time systems, embedded systems, sensor networks, and cyber-physical systems. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss recent and innovative results in the field. It is a forum to exchange ideas and experiences on practical control system design and implementation, and to identify future directions and challenges in aligning feedback control techniques with traditional performance analysis, modeling, and simulation.
3rd ACM EuroSys Workshop on Social Network Systems (SNS 2010)
http://sns.socialnetconf.com
Eiko Yoneki (University of Cambridge), Elie Bursztein (Stanford University),
Tao Stein (Facebook)
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are now among the most popular sites on the Web. These systems have their own special properties and characteristics and they express trust and reputation in ways that can be used by other systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers to discuss the systems research issues of social networks. These issues span distributed systems, databases, security, privacy, and storage. The workshop complements the topics of the main EuroSys conference. The ultimate goal of this workshop is to bring together systems researchers that are active in researching social networks.
4th EuroSys Doctoral Workshop
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/risaacs/eurosys10dw.html
Rebecca Isaacs (Microsoft Research Cambridge)
The doctoral workshop, which will take place on the day before the main EuroSys 2010 program, will provide a forum for PhD students to present their work and receive constructive feedback from experts in the field as well as from peers. Technical presentations will be augmented with general advice and discussions about getting a PhD, doing research, and post-doctoral careers.
European Workshop on System Security (EuroSec 2010)
http://www.iseclab.org/eurosec-2010/
Manuel Costa (Microsoft Research Cambridge), Engin Kirda (Institute Eurecom)
EuroSec is a new workshop associated with the Annual ACM SIGOPS EuroSys conference. The workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, system administrators, system programmers, and others interested in the latest advances in the security of computer systems and networks. The focus of the workshop is on novel, practical, systems-oriented work. EuroSec seeks contributions on all aspects of systems security. EuroSec explicitly encourages members of the systems community to explore leading-edge topics and ideas before they are presented at a major conference.
5th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Transactional Computing (TRANSACT 2010)
http://www-ali.cs.umass.edu/~moss/transact-2010/
Pascal Felber (Université de Neuchâtel)
The past five years have seen an explosion of interest in programming languages, systems, and hardware to support transactions, speculation, and related alternatives to classical lock-based concurrency. This workshop, the fifth in its series, will provide a forum for the presentation of research on all aspects of transactional computing. The scope of the workshop is intentionally broad, with the goal of encouraging interaction across the languages, architecture, systems, database, and theory communities. Papers may address implementation techniques, foundational results, applications and workloads, or experience with working systems. Environments of interest include the full range from multithreaded or multicore processors to high-end parallel computing.
Workshop on System-level Virtualization for High Performance Computing (HPCVirt 2010)
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/hpcvirt2010/
Stephen L. Scott, Geoffroy Vallée (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
The emergence of virtualization enabled hardware, such as the latest generation AMD and Intel processors, has raised significant interest in High Performance Computing (HPC) community. In particular, system-level virtualization provides an opportunity to advance the design and development of operating systems, programming environments, administration practices, and resource management tools. This leads to some potential research topics for HPC, such as failure tolerance, system resilience, energy saving, system management, and solutions for application porting to new HPC platforms.
The workshop on System-level Virtualization for HPC (HPCVirt 2010) is intended to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on the use of virtualization technologies for HPC, the challenges and opportunities offered by the development of system-level virtualization solutions themselves, as well as case studies in the application of system-level virtualization in HPC.
Isolation and Integration for Dependable Systems (IIDS 2010)
http://www.iids-workshop.org
Hans P. Reiser (Faculdade de Ciencias, Universidade de Lisboa),
Rudiger Kapitza (Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg , Michael Egel (TU Dortmund), Olaf Spinczyk (TU Dortmund), Jorg Nolte (BTU Cottbus)
Virtualization technology has proven to be an important foundation for isolation and integration of systems. These are of special importance in dependable as well as embedded systems. The IIDS workshop combines the successful VTDS and IIES workshops held in conjunction with previous EuroSys conferences. The workshop will consist of two tracks with focus on dependable and embedded systems, respectively. By combining the two workshops, we intend to attract a larger audience with background in these specific areas of virtualization.
