MTC, the theme of the workshop encompasses loosely coupled applications, which are generally composed of many-tasks to achieve some larger application goal. This workshop will cover challenges that can hamper efficiency and utilization in running applications on large-scale systems, such as local resource manager scalability and granularity, efficient utilization of raw hardware, parallel file-system contention and scalability, data management, I/O management, reliability at scale, and application scalability. We welcome paper submissions in theoretical, simulations, and systems topics with special consideration to papers addressing the intersection of petascale/exascale challenges with large-scale cloud computing. We invite the submission of original research work of 6 pages. For more information, see: http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/MTAGS14.
