http://hpcs2013.cisedu.info or http://cisedu.us/rp/hpcs13
July 1 – July 5, 2013

Extended Submission Deadline: March 14, 2013
Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Autonomic Computing (AC) paradigms have emerged as highly appealing, scalable solutions to tackle the growing complexity of software and hardware systems. While P2P solutions put the emphasis on decentralization and sharing of resources, AC solutions are based on equipping computational entities with autonomic (self-*) features. Both approaches are of course complementary and are often combined together in modern distributed systems that avoid central coordination and human intervention. The design, implementation, and analysis of such complex systems pose several challenges, both with functional and non-functional properties, depending on network size, churn rate and application context. This workshop has the goal of providing an international forum for researchers and practitioners willing to present, discuss and exchange highly innovative research results and advanced topics that combine theoretical and practical approaches to modeling and high performance simulation of P2P and Autonomic systems.
The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Formal Models in P2P and Autonomic Systems
DEVS Modeling of P2P and Autonomic Systems
Discrete Event Simulation of P2P and Autonomic Systems
Agent-based Simulation
Formal Verification
Novel Techniques for M&S
M&S-Based Development Methods
Overlay Schemes
Advanced Knowledge Dissemination and Discovery
Design and Analysis of Applications and Services
Analysis of Performance and Robustness of Architectures
Workload Characterization and Simulation
Analysis of Emergent Behaviors
Measurement and Discovery of Real-world Network Topologies
Evaluation of Consistency
Evaluation of Hybrid Systems (e.g., combination of P2P and AC with Client/Server Architectures)
Security aspects (e.g. Availability, Access Control, Integrity, Trust, Reputation)
Monitoring and countermeasures for unfair behaviors (e.g. Free-Riding in P2P Networks)
Real-Time Aspects, including Timing Violations for Multimedia and Other Real-Time Traffic
Analysis of novel network services supporting P2P such as ALTO and LEDBAT
Impact of P2P Traffic on the Network Infrastructure
Green P2P and Autonomic Computing
Self-* features in P2P
P2P solutions in Autonomic Systems
Self-awareness in Autonomic Computing
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS:
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to Peer to Peer and autonomic systems. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. For Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 7 double-column IEEE formatted pages, and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author(s). Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and poster (please refer to http://hpcs2013.cisedu.info/home/posters for posters submission details) will also be accepted. Please specify the type of submission you have. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.
Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript using the Workshop EasyChair web site at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mospas2013. Submissions will be acknowledged within 48 hours.
Only PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the link above. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical clarity and presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper will have to register and attend the HPCS 2013 conference to present the paper at the workshop.
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2013 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly.
If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the workshop organizers.
