CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Workshop on Caching, Coherence and Consistency (WC3 '01)
Sorrento, Italy, June 17, 2001
to be held in conjunction with the
2001 ACM International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS '01)
URL: http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~wc3/
email: wc3@cs.rutgers.edu
Overview
The workshop focuses on three remarkably persistent topics in computer
systems research: caching, coherence and consistency. For a long time
these topics were associated with parallel and distributed systems
only. More recently, caching, coherence and consistency issues are
being revisited in the context of mobile computing and the world-wide
web. Our goal with this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers
from all of these communities to present and exchange ideas on these
three topics. Thus, we intend this workshop to cover a range of
domains, from more traditional ones such as hardware and software
cache coherence schemes and multiprocessor memory consistency models,
to coherence and consistency issues in file systems and mobile data,
to content caching and consistency issues in replicated data and
services on the web. This workshop can be seen as a continuation of
the WSDSM workshops that were held in conjunction with the last two
ICS conferences but with an extended scope and addressing a
significantly broader audience.
