The Fourth International Conference on Resource Intensive Applications and Services

INTENSIVE 2012

March 25-30, 2012 - St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles


Call for Papers

Intensiveness is a qualitative concept of expressing the degree of resources needed to fulfill a given task under strong requirements of either communication, computation, storage or simply data-volume where solutions are time-critical or have a mass impact. The well-known computation/resource intensive paradigm portrays a paradigm shift with the advent of high-speed applications, on-line multi-user game services, Grid applications and services, or on-demand resources and services. With the heavy distributed and parallel applications, communication intensive aspects, such as bandwidth-intensive and propagation intensive, became key contributors for optimizing workflows of computation of intensive tasks, or storage and access-intensive applications. For example, the massive scalability and storage capacity make it the clear choice for replication-intensive scenarios; the bandwidth-intensive becomes relevant for content streaming systems, while replication and data reuse are important for data-intensive applications on Grids.

There are monitoring and control aspects related to intensive applications and services aligned to different technologies. To deal with performance, scalability, stability, and accuracy (as some aspects may be NP-complete), different mechanisms and solutions were considered in terms of heuristics for relaxing the intensiveness, optimization, approximation or suboptimal solutions.

Associated with scalability, digital signal processors for computation intensive statistics and simulation relate to new hardware and software supporting the concept of ‘intensive’. Other technologies requiring real-time decoding, mobility, and wireless make the systems computationally very intensive. Performance intensive software is increasingly being used on heterogeneous combinations of OS, compiler, and hardware platforms.

The Fourth International Conference on Intensive Applications and Services, INTENSIVE 2012, continues a series of international events covering a large spectrum of topics related to technologies, hardware, software and mechanisms supporting intensive applications and services (RIAS).

We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.

Industrial presentations are not subject to the format and content constraints of regular submissions. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.

Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

All topics and submission formats are open to both research and industry contributions.

Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11", not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page. Helpful information for paper formatting can be found on the here.

Your paper should also comply with the additional editorial rules.

Once you receive the notification of paper acceptance, you will be provided by the publisher an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.

Work in Progress (short paper up to 4 pages long)

Work-in-progress contributions are welcome.
