Astronomy and Computing: a New Journal for the Astronomical Computing Community
We introduce \emph{Astronomy and Computing}, a new journal for the growing
population of people working in the domain where astronomy overlaps with
computer science and information technology. The journal aims to provide a new
communication channel within that community, which is not well served by
current journals, and to help secure recognition of its true importance within
modern astronomy. In this inaugural editorial, we describe the rationale for
creating the journal, outline its scope and ambitions, and seek input from the
community in defining in detail how the journal should work towards its
high-level goals.Comment: 5 pages, no figures; editorial for first edition of journa

Publishing in Information Systems Journals (Panel)
Interested in publishing your research? Editors from the Journal of Information Systems Education (JISE), Journal of Computer Information Systems (JCIS), Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS), Journal of Information Technology Case Studies and Applications (JITCAR), Journal of Organizational and End User Computing (JOEUC), and Journal of Global Information Technology Management (JGITM) will be hosting a panel on publishing. In this session, you will hear directly from, and ask questions of, editors of these journals as to what they\u27re looking for, how to avoid a rejection or endless R&R\u27s. In addition, each editor will cover the review process and other opportunities to become involved. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and explore publishing opportunities

Efficient optical quantum information processing
Quantum information offers the promise of being able to perform certain
communication and computation tasks that cannot be done with conventional
information technology (IT). Optical Quantum Information Processing (QIP) holds
particular appeal, since it offers the prospect of communicating and computing
with the same type of qubit. Linear optical techniques have been shown to be
scalable, but the corresponding quantum computing circuits need many auxiliary
resources. Here we present an alternative approach to optical QIP, based on the
use of weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities and homodyne measurements. We show how
this approach provides the fundamental building blocks for highly efficient
non-absorbing single photon number resolving detectors, two qubit parity
detectors, Bell state measurements and finally near deterministic control-not
(CNOT) gates. These are essential QIP devicesComment: Accepted to the Journal of optics B special issue on optical quantum

EPOBF: Energy Efficient Allocation of Virtual Machines in High Performance Computing Cloud
Cloud computing has become more popular in provision of computing resources
under virtual machine (VM) abstraction for high performance computing (HPC)
users to run their applications. A HPC cloud is such cloud computing
environment. One of challenges of energy efficient resource allocation for VMs
in HPC cloud is tradeoff between minimizing total energy consumption of
physical machines (PMs) and satisfying Quality of Service (e.g. performance).
On one hand, cloud providers want to maximize their profit by reducing the
power cost (e.g. using the smallest number of running PMs). On the other hand,
cloud customers (users) want highest performance for their applications. In
this paper, we focus on the scenario that scheduler does not know global
information about user jobs and user applications in the future. Users will
request shortterm resources at fixed start times and non interrupted durations.
We then propose a new allocation heuristic (named Energy-aware and Performance
per watt oriented Bestfit (EPOBF)) that uses metric of performance per watt to
choose which most energy-efficient PM for mapping each VM (e.g. maximum of MIPS
per Watt). Using information from Feitelson's Parallel Workload Archive to
model HPC jobs, we compare the proposed EPOBF to state of the art heuristics on
heterogeneous PMs (each PM has multicore CPU). Simulations show that the EPOBF
can reduce significant total energy consumption in comparison with state of the
art allocation heuristics.Comment: 10 pages, in Procedings of International Conference on Advanced
