Important Information
We have received to few submissions and thus we have had to cancel this workshop to meet our quality standards. We are sorry about this because we feel the subject was definitely interesting and would have raised interesting discussions.Description
The Workshop on “Assessing Models of Networks and Distributed Computing Platforms” (ASSESS) is a one-day event held in conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid 2008), which will be held in Lyon, France, on May 19-22, 2008.
Goal
This workshop aims to provide advances on models for distributed computing (e.g. grids, clusters, network, peer-to-peer infrastructure, etc.), gathering mainly experimental work. The workshop welcomes analysis, experience reports, simulations, emulation, performance evaluation techniques; Proposals for model extensions, as well as proposals for innovative models accompanied with experiments are welcome. A particular attention will be paid to methodology and reproducibility of results.
This workshop also aims to be an opportunity to meet people and have live discussions on this hot topic. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, experiments, measurements, performance analysis, evaluation, validation and experiences on:
- Communication Models
- Network Models (contention, topology, traffic…)
- Storage Models
- Programming Models
- Benchmark, Profiling and Forecast
- Workload
- Scalable Models
- Simulation, Emulation
- Global Computing
- Peer-to-Peer
- Grid Computing
- Cluster Computing
