Description

The exponential information growth transforms many compute challenges into data processing challenges and therefore data intensive applications are heavily studied both in the context of HPC and cloud environments. Data intensive applications require new approaches and efficient techniques to store, manage, and process the locally stored or geographically dispersed data to cope with this data explosion.
Despite recent advances in application development and the design of the underlying storage systems, it is still necessary to improve the provisioning, staging, manipulation, continuous maintenance and monitoring of data hosted in autonomous, distributed and heterogeneous systems.
The parallel and concurrent execution at all levels remains key to enable the development of scalable and effective data intensive applications, which is also affected by enhanced capacities and extended functionalities of the IT infrastructures. This topic seeks papers in all aspects of distributed and parallel data management and data intensive applications, which are focused around the notions of concurrency, parallelism and distributed processing.
