InfoScale 2008
Conferences are a great way to keep in sync with the latest ideas. This year I am co-chairing several conferences in the area of search. Today I thought it would be interesting to share our InfoScale 2008 call for papers. InfoScale is a conferences started a few years ago focusing on the issues of scaling networking and search problems. So, check out the call for papers and the venue of the conference.
InfoScale 2008 - The Third International ICST Conference on Scalable Information Systems
As data and knowledge volume keep increasing while global means for information dissemination continue to
diversify, new methods, modeling paradigms, and structures are needed to support efficiently the mounting
scalability requirements.
In the last few years we have seen the proliferation of the use of heterogeneous distributed systems, ranging from
simple Networks of Workstations, to highly complex Grid Computing environments. Such computational
paradigms have been preferred due to their reduced costs and inherent scalability, but their efficient usage pose
many challenges in terms of information access, storage and retrieval as well as in terms of algorithms for
efficiently manage, transfer, and analyze huge volume of data and knowledge.
Grid computing, P2P technology, data and knowledge bases, distributed information retrieval technology, and
networking technology should all converge to address the scalability concern. Furthermore, with the advent of
emerging computing architectures - e.g. SMTs, GPUs, Multicores, etc. - the importance of designing techniques
explicitly targeting these systems, is becoming more and more important.
The Third International Conference on Scalable Information Systems will focus on a wide array of scalability
issues and investigate new approaches to tackle problems arising from the ever-growing size and complexity of
information of all kinds.
