                           CALL FOR PAPERS

                The Second International Workshop on

            MapReduce and its Applications (MAPREDUCE'11)

            June 8, 2011 HPDC'2011, San Jose, CA, USA

                (http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/mapreduce/)

SCOPE

Since its introduction in 2004 by Google, MapReduce has become the
programming model of choice for processing large data sets. MapReduce
borrows from functional programming, where a programmer can define
both a Map task that maps a data set into another data set, and a
Reduce task that combines intermediate outputs into a final
result. Although MapReduce was originally developed for use by web
enterprises in large data-centers, this technique has gained a lot of
attention from the scientific community for its applicability in large
parallel data analysis (including geographic, high energy physics,
genomics, etc..).

The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing
recent advances, identifying open issues, introducing developments and
tools, and presenting applications and enhancements for MapReduce (or
very similar) systems. We therefore cordially invite contributions
that investigate these issues, introduce new execution environments,
apply performance evaluations and show the applicability to science
and enterprise applications.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

  * MapReduce implementation issues and improvements
  * Implementation optimization for GPU and multi-core systems
  * Extensions to the programing model
  * Large-scale MapReduce (Grid and Desktop Grid)
  * Use of CDN and P2P techniques
  * Heterogeneity and fault-tolerance
  * Scientific data-sets analysis
  * Data and compute-intensive applications
  * Tools and environments for MapReduce
  * Algorithms using the MapReduce paradigm

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 8 pages,
including all figures and references. Papers should be formatted in
the ACM proceedings style (e.g.,
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submitted
papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under
consideration for another conference or a journal. Accepted papers
will be published by ACM in the conference workshops proceedings.

Papers should be submitted here:
