Call for Papers: ScalA@SC 2017 - Papers due August 28
by Engelmann, Christian 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ScalA’17: 8th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems held in conjunction with the SC17: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC November 13, 2017, Denver, CO, USA <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2017> Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems.

CFP: Resilience@Euro-Par 2017 - Papers due May 5
by Christian Engelmann 08 May '19

08 May '19

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience) in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2017> in conjunction with the 23rd International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par), Santiago de Compostela, Spain, August 28 - September 1, 2017 <http://europar2017.usc.es> Overview: Resilience is a critical challenge as high performance computing (HPC) systems continue to increase component counts, individual component reliability decreases (such as due to shrinking process technology and near-threshold voltage (NTV) operation), and software complexity increases. Application correctness and execution efficiency, in spite of frequent faults, errors, and failures, is essential to ensure the success of the extreme-scale HPC systems, cluster computing environments, Grid computing infrastructures, and Cloud computing services. While a fault (e.g., a bug or stuck bit) is the cause of an error, its manifestation as a state change is considered an error (e.g., a bad value or incorrect execution), and the transition to an incorrect service is observed as a failure (e.g., an application abort or system crash). A failure in a computing system is typically observed through an application abort or a full/partial service or system outage. A detectable correctable error is often transparently handled by hardware, such as a single bit flip in memory that is protected with single-error correction double-error detection (SECDED) error correcting code (ECC). A detectable uncorrectable error (DUE) typically results in a failure, such as multiple bit flips in the same addressable word that escape SECDED ECC correction, but not detection, and ultimately cause an application abort. An undetectable error (UE) may result in silent data corruption (SDC), e.g., an incorrect application output. There are many other types of hardware and software faults, errors, and failures in computing systems. Resilience for HPC systems encompasses a wide spectrum of fundamental and applied research and development, including theoretical foundations, fault detection and prediction, monitoring and control, end-to-end data integrity, enabling infrastructure, and resilient solvers and algorithm-based fault tolerance. This workshop brings together experts in the community to further research and development in HPC resilience and to facilitate exchanges across the computational paradigms of extreme-scale HPC, cluster computing, Grid computing, and Cloud computing. Submission Guidelines: Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in English in PDF format. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and BETWEEN 10 AND 12 PAGES, including figures, tables and references, using Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format at <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>. Papers with less than 10 or more than 12 pages will not be accepted due to publisher guidelines. Submissions should include abstract, key words and the e-mail address of the corresponding author. Papers not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. The proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS as post-conference proceedings. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop for inclusion in the proceedings. Authors may contact the workshop program chairs for more information.

Special Issue "The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining"
by Massimo CAFARO 28 Oct '18

28 Oct '18

Special Issue "The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining" A special issue of Algorithms (ISSN 1999-4893). Deadline for manuscript submissions: 21 December 2018 http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_… Special Issue Information Dear Colleagues, This Special Issue is devoted to the increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel and distributed data mining algorithms. The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) is an international forum that brings together researchers and practitioners, working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Indeed, datasets grow so rapidly that, every day, exabytes of data are being generated, and, in order to extract and infer useful knowledge, parallel processing techniques are required to cope with this huge volume of data: Traditional sequential software is not viable to cope with them. When the data are generated in different places (such as wireless sensor networks and/or Internet of things devices), they may be geographically spread out, and the data cannot be sent to a centralized site, thus, the need for distributed processing algorithms arises. Topics relevant to this Special Issue cover the scope of the WPDM 2018 Workshop (http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/): - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - 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 - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining Extended versions of papers presented at WPDM 2018 are sought, but this call for papers is fully open to all those who wish to contribute by submitting a relevant research manuscript. Manuscript Submission Information Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI. Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 850 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.

CFP 3rd Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL19)
by Stéphane Galland 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

CALL FOR PAPERS The 3nd International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-19) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies ANT 2019 and the European SarlCon 2019 April 29 - May 2, 2019, Leuven, Belgium. Description =========== Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many effective applications of this technology are now deployed. SARL-18 provides an international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate technology transfer. SARL workshop borns with the SARL agent programming language, but the scientific results presented in SARL-19 are not restricted to SARL; other languages and agent platforms may be presented. SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency, distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to effectively meet this challenge. Considering the variety of existing approaches and meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent systems, our approach remains as generic as possible and highly extensible to easily integrate new concepts and features. The goal of SARL-19 is to provides a place where the different points of view on the modeling and the simulation with agent platforms and agent programming languages may be discussed. SARL-19 will be held in Leuven, Belgium (April 29 - May 2, 2019) in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2019) and the European SarlCon 2019. Topics ====== The main topics of the SARL-18 workshop are (but not restricted to): * Methods and Models: * Agent based Modeling and Simulation * Agent programming language * Agent based Simulation * Agent oriented analysis and design methods * Ontologies and theories about large urban systems * Formal models of agent-based simulation * Organizational models * Applications: * Traffic/Transport * Crowds * Smard grids and smart buildings * Land-Use * Energy Important Dates =============== * Submission deadline: December 6, 2018 * Notification: February 4, 2019 * Final date for camera-ready copy: March 1, 2019 * Workshop: April 29 - May 2, 2019 Submission ========== All workshop accepted papers will be included in the conference proceeding published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line.
