Call For Papers [PDF]
The goal of the Workshop on Planetary-Scale Distributed Systems (W-PSDS) is to bring together international researchers and practitioners from the large-scale distributed systems communities to discuss the current state of the art, emerging challenges and trends, as well as novel solutions, implementation and deployment of large scale, and in particular of planetary-scale, distributed systems and applications. The workshop aims both at discussing new contributions and also to discuss work in progress and recent advances achieved in these fields, as a way to stem interesting and dynamic discussion and foment new collaborations to arise.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Data Storage for large scale systems (e.g., NoSQL databases, in-memory databases, geo-replicated systems)
- Consistency, reliability, and fault models for large scale distributed systems
- Data recovery: online and disaster recovery
- System assumptions for dependability and performance
- Scaling-out and elasticity with large number of nodes
- Fully decentralized versus central control architectures
- Robust and efficient protocols for unstructured overlay networks (epidemic-based dissemination, aggregation, slicing)
- Peer-to-Peer systems, protocols, and applications
- Large-scale infrastructure technologies (locking, group membership services)
- Security for large-scale distributed systems
- Cloud computing
- Grid Computing
