Dec. 8 -- The 11th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2011) and the 11th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications (ScalCom 2011) will take place from August 31 to September 2, 2011, in Pafos, Cyprus.
The 11th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2011) is a major platform for researchers and industry practitioners from different fields of computer and information technology.
The 11th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications (ScalCom 2011) aims to provide an international forum for scientists, researchers, and engineers to discuss challenges, launch original ideas, and showcase real-world problems on all aspects of scalable computations and communications.
We invite submissions of workshop proposals that are closely related to the conferences' themes. The ideal workshop proposal should focus on a specific area, be of current interest, and be able to attract a number of high-quality submissions. Proposals on specific new challenges, emerging topics guaranteed to generate significant interest in the community are highly encouraged.
The organizers of the workshop shall have responsibility of distributing the call for papers, organizing the workshop Program Committee, reviewing and selecting of papers as well as planning the workshop program. The workshop organizers will receive one (1) free registration for every 10 workshop registrations. The organizers reserve the right to cancel a workshop, if the number of registrations is too low.
The proceedings of the workshops will be published by the Conference Publishing Services (IEEE) in the proceedings of CIT 2011 and ScalCom 2011. Prospective workshop organizers should send a proposal with the following information to CIT 2011 or ScalCom 2011 Workshop Chairs:

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.

When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.
