If you are interested in Mapreduce or Hadoop I recommend submitting to or attending the following workshop.
The Third International Workshop on MapReduce and its Applications (MAPREDUCE’12)
June 18-19, 2012 HPDC’2012, Delft, the Netherlands.
http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/mapreduce/
SCOPE
=====
Since its introduction in 2004 by Google, MapReduce has become the programming
model of choice for processing large data sets. MapReduce borrows from functional
programming, where a programmer can define both a Map task that maps a data set
into another data set, and a Reduce task that combines intermediate outputs into
a final result. Although MapReduce was originally developed for use by web
enterprises in large data-centers, this technique has gained a lot of attention
from the scientific community for its applicability in large parallel data
analysis (including geographic, high energy physics, genomics, etc..).
The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing recent advances,
identifying open issues, introducing developments and tools, and presenting
applications and enhancements for MapReduce (or very similar) systems. We
therefore cordially invite contributions that investigate these issues, introduce
new execution environments, apply performance evaluations and show the
applicability to science and enterprise applications.
