They help keep transport links open, keep electricity flowing and enable emergency response to extreme weather events. The Unified Model is a key component in the Met Office's ability to generate hundreds of forecasts every day to tight operational timescale. It is constantly being improved with more accurate and computationally expensive physics. OpenMP has been an important tool in meeting the scalability challenge this has presented. This presentation will describe the Unified Model's journey with OpenMP. This has taken it from an enabler of hyperthreads, through I/O acceleration to being a fully-fledged part of the model's parallelism strategy. The lessons learned during this process will be shared, along with some recent experiences with tasking to mitigate MPI load imbalance. - Invited Talk: *OpenMP Gotchas* by Dr Mark Bull, Architect (Research and Training), EPCC - Invited Talk: *OpenMP 4.5 Performance Portability* by Simon McIntosh-Smith, Prof. in High Performance Computing, University of Bristol Conference Dinner There will be a conference dinner on the evening of Monday 21st May. ------------------------------ Program Committee - Conference Chair: Simon McIntosh-Smith, Prof. in High Performance Computing, University of Bristol - Program Co-Chair: Dr Mark Bull, Architect (Research and Training), EPCC Program Co-Chair: - Jim Cownie, Principal Engineer, Intel Corporation (UK) Ltd. - Founder, Local Organiser & Marketing Chair: Tim Lewis, Croftedge Marketing Limited ------------------------------ Proceedings All the presentations, tutorials and posters presented at the meeting will be collated into a set of electronic proceedings and made available on-line.

CALL FOR PAPERS ********************************************************************** 4th IEEE Workshop on Security and Privacy in the Cloud (SPC 2018) Beijing, China - May 30-June 1, 2018 http://spc2018.di.unimi.it/ ********************************************************************** Cloud computing is today the reference paradigm for large-scale data storage and processing due to the convenient and efficient network access to configurable resources that can be easily adjusted according to the users’ needs. Although the benefits of cloud computing are tremendous, security and privacy concerns have still a detrimental impact on the adoption and acceptability of cloud services. In fact, users as well as companies that rely on cloud storage and computation services lose the direct control over the systems managing their data and applications, thus putting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data at risk. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in discussing the security, privacy, and data protection issues emerging in cloud scenarios, and possible solutions to them. SPC 2018 is the fourth workshop in this series and will be held in Beijing, China, on May 30-June 1, in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS 2018). The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research, as well as experimental studies, on all theoretical and practical aspects of security, privacy, and data protection in cloud scenarios. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Anonymity in cloud scenarios - Applied cryptography in cloud scenarios - Cloud-based biometric systems - Data and application security - Data and system integrity - Data availability in outsourcing scenarios - Data protection - Efficient access to outsourced data - Key management in cloud scenarios - Privacy - Privacy of accesses - Secure computation over encrypted data - Security and trust metrics - Security and privacy in crowdsourcing - Security and privacy in multi-clouds and federated clouds - Security and privacy in data outsourcing - Security and privacy in the Internet of Things - Security and privacy of big data - Security and privacy of distributed computations - Security and privacy of fog computing - Security and privacy policies - Selective information sharing - Threats, vulnerabilities, and risk management PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should be at most 9 pages in the IEEE 8,5"x11" two-column format. Submissions should not be anonymized. The workshop will also consider short submissions of up to 4 pages for results that are preliminary or that simply require few pages. Papers should be submitted for review through EDAS (http://edas.info/N24475). Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of March 5, 2018 (11:59 p.m. American Samoa time).

Special Issue on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining
by Massimo Cafaro 23 Jan '18

Special Issue on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining Information Sciences, Elsevier Submission deadline: February 1st, 2018 The sheer volume of new data, which is being generated at an increasingly fast pace, has already produced an anticipated data deluge that is difficult to challenge. We are in the presence of an overwhelming vast quantity of data, owing to how easy is to produce or derive digital data. Even the storage of this massive amount of data is becoming a highly demanding task, outpacing the current development of hardware and software infrastructure. Nonetheless, this effort must be undertaken now for the preservation, organization and long-term maintenance of these precious data. However, the collected data is useless without our ability fully understand and make use of it. Therefore, we need new algorithms to address this challenge. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. This Special Issue takes into account the increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel and distributed data mining algorithms. Parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators available on parallel computers. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. Moreover, increasingly the data is spread among different geographically distributed sites. Centralized processing of this data is very inefficient and expensive. In some cases, it may even be impractical and subject to security risks. Therefore, processing the data minimizing the amount of data being exchanged whilst guaranteeing at the same time correctness and efficiency is an extremely important challenge. Distributed data mining performs data analysis and mining in a fundamentally distributed manner paying careful attention to resource constraints, in particular bandwidth limitation, privacy concerns and computing power. The focus of this Special Issue is on all forms of advances in high-performance and distributed data mining algorithms and applications. The topics relevant to the Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following. TOPICS OF INTEREST Scalable parallel data mining algorithms using message-passing, shared-memory or hybrid programming paradigms Exploiting modern parallel architectures including FPGA, GPU and many-core accelerators for parallel data mining applications Middleware for high-performance data mining on grid and cloud environments Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining Map-reduce based parallel data mining algorithms Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining Novel distributed data mining algorithms SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted electronically through Elsevier Editorial System (EES) at http://ees.elsevier.com/ins (http://ees.elsevier.com/ins).
