The First International Conference on Intensive Applications and Services INTENSIVE 2009 April 20-25, 2009 - Valencia, Spain |
| Call for Papers |
Intensiveness is a qualitative metrics expressing the degree of resources needed to fulfill a given task under strong requirements of either communication, computation, understanding, storage, data-volume, or collaboration, where solutions are time-critical or have a mass impact. The well-known computation/resource intensive paradigm portrays a paradigm shift with the advent of high-speed applications, on-line multi-user game services, GRID applications and services, or on-demand resources and services. With the heavy distributed and parallel applications, communication intensive aspects, such as bandwidth-intensive, multicast-intensive, and propagation intensive, became key contributors for optimizing workflows of computation of intensive tasks, or storage and access-intensive databases. For example, the massive scalability and storage capacity make it the clear choice for replication-intensive applications; the bandwidth-intensive becomes relevant for content streaming systems, while replication and data reuse are important for data-intensive applications on GRIDS. Data-intensive computing is another view on intensiveness, where data availability and data volume may impact solutions for time-critical aspects.
Associated with scalability, digital signal processors for computation intensive statistics and simulation relate to new hardware and software supporting the concept of ‘intensive’. Other technologies requiring real-time decoding, mobility, and wireless make the systems computationally very intensive. Performance intensive software is increasingly being used on heterogeneous combinations of OS, compiler, and hardware platforms.
There are monitoring and control aspects related to intensive applications and services aligned to different technologies. For example, specialized wireless LAN controllers are recommended for high-data-rate and multicast-intensive applications such as large data files, video, push-to-talk.
To deal with performance, scalability, stability, and accuracy (as some aspects may be NP-complete), different mechanisms and solutions were considered in terms of heuristics for relaxing the intensiveness, optimization, approximation or suboptimal solutions. For example, there are classes of computation-intensive applications in which the execution cost of a task is greater than its communication cost.
The First International Conference on Intensive Applications and Services, INTENSIVE 2009, inaugurates a series of international events covering a large spectrum of topics related to technologies, hardware, software and mechanisms supporting intensive applications and services (IAS).
We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.
The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas. All tracks are open to both research and industry contributions.
