Paper submission deadline extended to: February 7, 2010 (hard deadline),
5pm, PST.
A limited number of grants, sponsored by INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes, will be
available to help, e.g. with registration costs, of attendees, e.g. PhD
students. Interested applicants, please contact the co-chairs
with a statement explaining your motivation.
About FeBID
FeBID
is a series of workshops. In 2010, FeBID is
associated with the ACM SIGOPS EuroSys 2010
conference. The workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners,
system administrators, system programmers, and others interested in the latest
advances in the control of computer systems and networks. The focus of the
workshop is on novel, practical, systems-oriented work.
Topics of Interest
FeBID 2010
solicits original research papers on applying feedback control and mathematical
optimization techniques to analyzing and designing computing systems, networks,
and services, such as those in data centers,
enterprise systems, real-time systems, embedded systems, sensor networks, and
cyber-physical systems. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for
researchers and practitioners to discuss recent and innovative results in the
field. It is a forum to exchange ideas and experiences on practical control
system design and implementation, and to identify future directions and
challenges in aligning feedback control techniques with traditional performance
analysis, modeling, and simulation.
FeBID seeks
contributions on all aspects of system control. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited, to the following:
·
Control engineering, modeling and mathematical optimization applications to
server, embedded and network systems, virtualized systems and cloud computing
design and implementation
·
System control for resource
management, power management, security, performance, QoS,
dependability, and fault-tolerance purposes
·
Operating system, middleware, and
programming language supports
·
System support and architecture for
feedback control loops
·
Design of systems for
controllability: sensor, actuator and control algorithms
·
Control models, methodologies, and
paradigms for computing systems (e.g. non-linear systems, discrete event
systems, optimal control)
In accordance with the spirit of the EuroSys
conference FeBID also seeks:
- Quantified or insightful
experience with existing systems
- Reproduction or refutation of
previous results
- Negative results
- Problem statement
- Early ideas
FeBID explicitly
encourages members of the systems community to explore leading-edge topics and
ideas before they are presented at a major conference. Two formats of contributions
are welcome: regular papers (6 pages), and position papers (2 pages).
FeBID will
feature a Keynote speech on Introduction to Control Theory and Its
Application to Computing Systems, given by Joseph L. Hellerstein,
Google. This talk provides an introduction to control theory for computer
scientists with an emphasis on applications, industry implementations as well
as research directions.
Dissemination
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of FeBID in the ACM Digital Library.
Furthermore, selected papers from FeBID will
be published in a special issue of the ACM Operating Systems Review (OSR), see http://www.sigops.org/osr.html.
