About

The 14th International Workshop on Scheduling and Resource Management for Parallel and Distributed Systems will be held at University of Oregon on 13 August, in conjunction with the ICPP’18 - 2018 International Conference on Parallel Processing. Resource management and scheduling is a crucial task on large-scale computing systems. It plays an essential role in the optimization of resources usage. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the areas of resource scheduling and resource management to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of scheduling and resource management in parallel and distributed systems including Grids and Clouds.

List of Topics

Resource allocation and management
Advance resource reservation and scheduling
Load sharing and Load balancing techniques
Network resource allocation
Fault-tolerant resource management approaches
Data access and management
Scheduling data intensive jobs
Scheduling on heterogeneous nodes
Time slicing, gang, or co-scheduling
Fairness, priorities, and accounting Issues
Performance implications of scheduling strategies
Performance metrics to compare scheduling schemes
Virtualization of resources
Energy-Aware Resource Management and Scheduling
