Call For Papers

The rapid deployment of high speed Internet and consumer broadband technologies, the creation and popularity of rich media content, and the proliferation of open source infrastructure have enabled a new breed of real time, interactive and digital media applications. This new breed of applications encompasses a wide variety of existing as well as emerging areas such as games, streaming media, medical imaging, video surveillance, 3D and real time rendering, intensive speech and text processing, collaborative engineering design, virtual worlds, military simulation and sensor based computing, among others. These applications demand a large amount of numeric intensive and streaming oriented compute power that is traditionally associated with expensive high end supercomputers and server clusters. Although in the past the desired level of compute power has not been easily affordable, the recent emergence of powerful commodity vector and scientific computing platforms such as game processors, graphics processors and multimedia extensions on traditional processors, is rapidly changing that dynamic and the way these applications are written and deployed.

The goal of RIDMS-1 is to provide a common forum for Researchers working on this new breed of applications, and those working on commodity supercomputing systems and software environments that run those applications. The workshop will focus on exchange of ideas on up to the date work. PDF versions of presented slides will be made available after the workshop on this site. Abstracts for presentations are solicited in the following areas of interest, including, but not limited to:
