We refer to D3 applications as those are data-intensive,</div><div>are fundamentally, or need to be, distributed, and need to support and respond to data</div><div>that may be non-persistent and is dynamically generated. We are also looking to bring</div><div>researchers together to look at holistic, rather than piecewise, approaches to the</div><div>end-to-end processing and managing of scientific data.</div><div><br></div><div>There has been a lot of effort in managing and distributing tasks where computation is</div><div>dominant. Such applications have after all, been historically the drivers of "grid"</div><div>computing. There has been, however, relatively less effort on tasks where the computational</div><div>load is matched by the data load, or even dominated by the data load. For such tasks to be</div><div>able to operate at scale, there are conceptually simple run-time tradeoffs that need to be</div><div>made, such as determining whether to move data to compute versus moving compute to data,</div><div>or possibly regenerating data on-the-fly. Due to fluctuating resource availability and</div><div>capabilities, as well as insufficient prior information about application requirements,</div><div>such decisions must be made at run-time. Furthermore, resource, connectivity and/or storage</div><div>constraints may require the data to be manipulated in-transit so that it is "made-right"</div><div>for the consumer. Currently it is very difficult to implement these dynamic decisions or</div><div>the underlying mechanisms in a general-purpose and scalable fashion. Although the</div><div>increasing volumes and complexity of data will make many problems data-dominated, the</div><div>computational requirements will still be high. In practice, data-intensive applications</div><div>will encompass data-driven applications. For example, many data-driven applications will</div><div>involve computational activities triggered as a consequence of independently created data;</div><div>thus it is imperative for an application to be able to respond to unplanned changes in</div><div>data load or content. Therefore, understanding how to support dynamic computations is a</div><div>fundamental, but currently missing element in data-intensive computing.</div><div><br></div><div>The D3Science workshop builds upon a 3 year research theme on Distributed Programming</div><div>Abstractions (DPA, <a href="http://wiki.esi.ac.uk/Distributed_Programming_Abstractions">http://wiki.esi.ac.uk/Distributed_Programming_Abstractions</a>), which</div><div>has held a series of related workshops including but not limited to e-Science 2008,</div><div>EuroPar 2008 and the CLADE series, and the ongoing 3DPAS (<a href="http://wiki.esi.ac.uk/3DPAS">http://wiki.esi.ac.uk/3DPAS</a>)</div><div>research theme funded by the NSF and UK EPSRC, which is holding one workshop in June</div><div>2011: the 3DAPAS workshop (<a href="https://sites.google.com/site/3dapas/">https://sites.google.com/site/3dapas/</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>The workshop is intended to lead to a funding proposal for transcontinental collaboration,</div><div>with contributors as potential members of the collaboration, and as such, we are</div><div>particularly interested is discussing both existing and future projects that are suitable</div><div>for transcontinental collaboration.</div><div><br></div><div>Topics of interest include but are not limited to:</div><div><br></div><div> Case studies of development, deployment and execution of representative</div><div> D3 applications, particularly projects suitable for transcontinental</div><div> collaboration</div><div> Programming systems, abstractions, and models for D3 applications</div><div> Discussion of the common, minimally complete, characteristics of D3 application</div><div> Major barriers to the development, deployment, and execution of D3 applications,</div><div> and primary challenges of D3 applications at scale</div><div> Patterns that exist within D3 applications, and commonalities in the way such</div><div> patterns are used</div><div> How programming models, abstraction and systems for data-intensive applications</div><div> can be extended to support dynamic data applications</div><div> Tools, environments and programming support that exist to enable emerging</div><div> distributed infrastructure to support the requirements of dynamic</div><div> applications (including but not limited to streaming data and</div><div> in-transit data analysis)</div><div> Data-intensive dynamic workflow and in-transit data manipulation</div><div> Adaptive/pervasive computing applications and systems</div><div> Abstractions and mechanisms for dynamic code deployment and "moving code to data"</div><div> Application drivers for end-to-end scientific data management</div><div> Runtime support for in-situ analysis</div><div> System support for high end workflows</div><div> Hybrid computing solutions for in-situ analysis</div><div> Technologies to enable multi-platform workflows </div><div><br></div><div>Submission instructions:</div><div><br></div><div>Authors are invited to submit papers containing unpublished, original work (not under</div><div>review elesewhere) of up to 8 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point</div><div>size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines.
