Fwd: TaPP '11 Call for Contributions Now Available

FYI... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: TaPP '11 Call for Contributions Now Available Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 16:47:20 -0800 From: Lionel Garth Jones <lgj(a)usenix.org> To: info(a)muug.mb.ca, gedetil(a)muug.mb.ca The Program Committee for the 3rd Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP '11) invites you to submit short papers on ongoing work. TaPP '11 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of provenance. With the deluge of digital data we are currently experiencing, it has become increasingly important to capture and understand the origins and derivation of data--its provenance. Provenance provides important documentation that is an essential part of the quality of data, and it is essential to the trust we put in, for example, the data we find on the Web and the data that is derived from scientific experiments. The workshop may cover any topic related to theoretical or practical aspects of provenance, including but not limited to: provenance in databases, work flows, programming languages, security, software engineering, or systems; provenance on the Web; or real-world applications of or requirements for provenance. The Program Committee is determined to make TaPP '11 a real workshop at which new ideas are discussed and developed and where the participants can learn how other subjects make use of provenance. While the workshop will have online proceedings, the Committee does not want the workshop to become another "mini-conference" that has nothing but paper presentations. The Committee is eager to receive short papers and vision papers describing challenges for provenance research, brief descriptions of new applications, proposals for mini-tutorials, pie-in-the sky research ideas, and anything that will create a successful workshop. While brief and readable descriptions of research are encouraged, recycled conference submissions are strongly discouraged. Submissions are due April 8, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. More information and submission guidelines are available at http://www.usenix.org/tapp11/cfpa Tapp '11 will take place June 20-22, 2011, in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, the week after the meeting of ACM SIGMOD in Athens. We look forward to receiving your submissions!

MUUG Meeting, March 8, 7:30pm -- Distributed Operating Systems

01 Mar '11

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: Distributed Operating Systems Most people have heard about Cloud Computing; developers may have heard about MPI systems. What about an operating system that was distributed? Robert Keizer takes a look at different distributed operating systems and their uses, with details pertaining to Linux single-system-images such as OpenMosix, Kerrighed, and OpenSSI. The door prize this month also includes two 4U fileservers with triple redundant power supplies. The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend. ********************************************************************** Please note our meeting location: The IBM offices, at 400 Ellice Ave. (between Edmonton and Kennedy). When you arrive, you will have to sign in at the reception desk, and then wait for someone to take you (in groups) to the meeting room. Please try to arrive by about 7:15pm, so the meeting can start promptly at 7:30pm. Don't be late, or you may not get in. (But don't come too early either, since security may not be there to let you in before 7:15 or so.) Non-members may be required to show photo ID at the security desk. Limited parking is available for free on the street, either on Ellice Ave. or on some of the intersecting streets. Indoor parking is also available nearby, at Portage Place, for $5.00 for the evening. Bicycle parking is available in a bike rack under video surveillance located behind the building on Webb Place. ********************************************************************** For more information about MUUG, and its monthly meetings, check out their Web server: http://www.muug.mb.ca/ Help us promote this month's meeting, by putting this poster up on your workplace bulletin board or other suitable public message board: http://www.muug.mb.ca/meetings/MUUGmeeting.pdf -- Gilbert E.
