The High Performance Transaction Systems (HPTS) workshop is a biennial
meeting of systems middleware professionals, emphasizing areas such as
transaction processing (TP), database (DB), business process management and
messaging. Leading application developers, researchers and commercial product
builders come together to share experiences, solutions, ideas, visions, and
challenges.
HPTS 2003 will focus on high-end systems solutions, specifically what CIOs
and developers require from multi-tier infrastructures, how they build and
manage systems, and the changes over the last two years in both requirements and
solutions. Submissions by customers describing advanced aspects of high-end
applications and operations are particularly encouraged, including analyses of
where the systems community needs to provide better technologies. As always,
submissions by the systems community showing how researchers and developers are
meeting emerging challenges are also strongly welcomed.
Some of the areas where new problems and solutions are emerging are:
- Technologies for reducing cost of deployment and management of TP
applications and systems;
- Security issues in deploying multi-vendor, web-based, and centrally hosted
applications;
- Customization of transactions for individual users and devices, via
identity, presence, data mining, business intelligence, etc.
- Components and tools for enterprise application integration (EAI) and
Business-to-Business (B2B);
- Policy-based architectures for business processes and business
transactions;
- Dynamic configuration management in large-scale distributed systems;
- Virtualization, provisioning, and scheduling issues for technical and
commercial grid systems;
- Edge computing solutions, and associated consistency issues;
- Payment, accounting and auditing requirements and architectures.
High-end application builders still face the perennial challenges of the TP
community: performance, scalability, availability, and manageability. Progress
across these dimensions remains a focus of this conference, and we encourage
submissions addressing these challenges.
The format of HPTS 2003 will include presentations of position papers, panels
debating emerging directions, and sessions on application architectures,
describing how they were built and suggesting ways that systems infrastructure
could better support their development and management.
Those who wish to participate in the HTPS 2003 workshop may submit a position
paper or an abstract on their current work and interests. A submission may
present a viewpoint on a controversial topic, a summary of lessons learned,
experience with a large or unusual system, or an innovative mechanism,
architecture, product, application, or customer environment.
This is a by-invitation workshop not a conference. These submissions will
help the program commitee select the participants, and will help set the agenda
for the workshop. Participants may be asked to be part of a presentation or
discussion session at the workshop. All accepted submissions will be placed on
the 2003 HPTS website (http://research.sun.com/hpts2003/),
and will be made available to participants prior to the workshop.
Attendance is limited to about 60 participants, In an effort to keep the
workshop small and interactive, only one invitation can be extended per accepted
paper. Abstracts and position papers should be at most five pages, and should be
sent electronically to the submissions site in
plain text by April 9, 2003.
