Last call for scalability papers
Posted by Andrew Schwerin, Software
Engineer
As an engineer in Seattle, I can't wait for summer to arrive.
This year, I'm not just looking forward to the beautiful
weather, but also the
id="xbg0" >Seattle
Scalability Conference. It takes place on Saturday, June
14th.
Conference planning is underway, and the deadline for our call for
papers is this Friday, April 11th! If you have an interesting
approach for building and maintaining scalable systems, this is the
perfect gathering to share it. Send a 500-word abstract of your
30-minute presentation to scalabilityconf at google.com — and plan
on enjoying the long-awaited Seattle sunshine with me this
June.
Here are some of the topics that interest me (but I'm open to
more ideas):
Scalable algorithms:
Parallelization techniques (fully automatic or
programmer-assisted)
Algorithms that are robust in the face of system failures
(flaky hardware, OS bugs, network failures)
Scalable systems:
Managing large, evolving data stores
Languages and tools for organizing high-throughput data
processing systems
Handling partial failure (automatic failure
detection/diagnosis/repair)
We'll be posting more information for conference attendees
soon.
