Introduction

Recent years have seen a powerful increase in large-scale, high-performance distributed infrastructures that reach across organizational and national borders.  The strong trends to data centre re-centralization, catalyzed by the advent of virtualized infrastructures, compound the range of high-performance platforms and have spawned new commercial computing options, e.g., Cloud Computing. While creating new opportunities for applications, this proliferation also presents challenges to the operation of management of the resulting high-performance IT platforms. 

More and more applications exploit large-scale data-centre infrastructure: Cloud offerings promise scalable commercial services, while high-performance computing clusters support the growing demand of computational science applications. 

The construction and operation of these High-Performance Platforms poses challenges in many aspects, e.g.:

  • the efficient management of their resources; 

  • the security of the infrastructure;

  • the trust of users in the integrity and privacy provided by the platform;

  • reliability and survivability;

  • the performance of the platform;

  • scalability; and 

  • ease-of-use.

The HPPM 2016 track aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from the domains of distributed large-scale computing applications, operations and management.  The workshop will include presentations of contributed high-quality papers in these areas.

Guidlines

HPPM 2016 welcomes submissions of original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to high performance platform management.  Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.  For Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column formatted pages per template, and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author(s) although all authors are equally responsible for the manuscript. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and posters will also be considered. Please specify the type of submission you have.  Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. 

Only PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the submission link above.  Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews.  Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical clarity and presentation, and references.  Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted.  At least one of the authors of each accepted paper will have to register and attend the HPCS 2016 conference to present the paper at the workshop.
