Monday, November 12 at the SuperComputing 2018 conference in Dallas, Texas
This workshop is the continuation of a highly successful series introduced in 2017 at the 10th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC) conference held in Austin, Texas. The DAAC workshop series is focused on fostering discussion among industry, academic, and national laboratory participants and promoting collaboration on solutions for automated data centers and associated data center analytics and control issues. The objective is to promote and stimulate community's interactions to address some of most critical challenges in automation, analytics, and control specifically aimed for the needs of large-scale data centers in high-performance and other forms of highly scaled computing.
Manuscript submissions must be received by the announced submission deadline. All manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee and evaluated on originality, relevance of the problem to the conference theme, technical strength, rigour in analysis, quality of results, and organization and clarity of presentation of the paper.
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Further details on the publication instructions and registration information will be published on the DAAC website.

All the accepted DAAC-2018 workshop papers will be invited to extend the manuscripts to be considered for a Special Issue on Data-center Automation, Analytics, and Control of the Springer Cluster Computing: the Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications (Impact Factor 2.04 in 2016). This special issue is dedicated for the papers accepted in the DAAC workshop. The submission to this special issue is by invitation only.
This workshop will provide a forum to discuss fundamental issues on real-time operation of highly automated data centers, including methods to provision, debug, analyze and control data center equipment and to improve how machines are operated, monitored, and used. Topics to be covered will include how software stacks are deployed and provisioned, how data is processed and transferred in real time from the data center to the cloud as well as challenges in design and implementation of novel automated data center architectures and systems. New methods, techniques, hardware, software, and standards for data center automation and control will be discussed and in scope.
