First International Workshop on Simulation and Modelling
in Emergent Computational Systems (SMECS-2008)
September 8-12, 2008, Portland, Oregon, USA
To be held in conjunction with:
THE 2008 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON
PARALLEL PROCESSING (ICPP-08)
SPECIAL ISSUE:
Scientific International Journal for Parallel and Distributed
Computing
Scope
With the
fast
development of Internet and other new technologies, different types of
networks, paradigms and platforms of distributed computation are
emerging as
new forms of the computation in the new millennium. Among these
paradigms
and technologies, Grid, P2P and network ad-hoc systems are most
important. One
of the main targets behind these technologies and paradigms is, from
the
scientific perspective, to enable the solution of very complex problems
of the denominated
family of eScience problems that arise in different branches of
science,
engineering and industry.
An
important line of research in this context is the simulation and
modeling. Simulation
is an essential tool in these new computational systems in order to
implement
and evaluate different algorithms, resolution techniques and
applications
before deployment in a real system. Simulation and modelling allow thus
to
conceive, develop and analyze in a controlled and economic way
application prototypes
that can be later deployed in real environments.
The aim of
this workshop
is to present innovative researches, methods and techniques related to
Simulation, Modelling and Performance Evaluation in
Emergent Computational
Systems. The workshop seeks original contributions in all relevant
areas,
including but not limited to the following topics.
Topics of interest
- Simulation
models and tools for Grid, P2P systems
- Simulation
and tools for Adhoc and Mobile Network systems
- Performance
modelling and evaluation in Emergent Computational Systems
- Novel
theoretical approaches for simulation and modelling in Emergent
- Computational
Systems
- Novel
design approaches for simulation and modelling in Emergent
Computational Systems
- Benchmarking
- Case
studies using simulation platforms/libraries for evaluating
applications in Emergent Computational Systems
- Submission
