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.

[FGCS] Special Issue on Trusted Cloud-Edges Computations (Submission deadline extended to Jan 15, 2019)
by Claudio A. Ardagna 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

***Submission deadline extended to January 15th, 2019*** [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ****************************************************** Future Generation Computer Systems Special Issue on Trusted Cloud-Edges (CE) Computations ****************************************************** Current and future service-based software needs to remain focused towards the development and deployment of large and complex intelligent and networked information systems, required for internet-based and intranet-based systems in organizations, as well to move to IoT integration and big data analytics. Today, service-based software covers a very wide range of application domains as well as technologies and research issues. This has recently found realization through the integration of cloud computing and IoT, forming a revolutionary paradigm, cloud-assisted Internet of things (CoT), that enables intelligent and self-con?guring (smart) IoT devices to be connected with the cloud through the Internet. However, huge volume of data generated from real-world applications leads to the operation difficulty of CoT paradigm. More specifically, while billions of connected devices will generate exabytes of data every day, moving all the data from comparably resource-constrained IoT devices to the cloud becomes a big challenge. Hence, the centralized CoT model is undergoing a paradigm shift towards a decentralized model termed as edge computing, where local and distributed edge devices such as smartphones, smart gateways, and local PC with weaker capability than the centralized cloud can offer cloud-like service for only a limited group of devices. While the centralized cloud is still inevitable for the heavyweight computation needs, in this emerging Cloud-Edges (CE) paradigm, the cloud, together with local edge devices jointly offer services and intelligence. CE paradigm complements traditional CoT paradigm in terms of high scalability, low delay, location awareness, and instant local client computing capabilities. Nonetheless, due to the multiple and even highly distributed roles in CE paradigm, vital elements in such CE paradigm are the notions of trust, security, privacy and risk management among the cloud, edge devices, and end devices. This special issue solicits submissions from both academia and industry presenting novel research in the context of trusted Cloud-Edges (CE) computations, presenting theoretical and practical approaches to cloud, big data, IoT and edge computing trust, security, privacy and risk management. This special issue will provide a special focus on the intersection between cloud paradigm, big data analytics, IoT integration and edge computing, bringing together experts from the four communities to discuss on the vital issues of trust, security, privacy and risk management in cloud computing, shedding the light on novel issues and requirements in domains of big data, IoT, and edge computing. Potential contributions could cover new approaches, methodologies, protocols, tools, or verification and validation techniques. We also welcome review papers that analyze critically the current status of trust, security, privacy and risk management in the cloud, big data, IoT, and edge computing. Papers from practitioners who encounter trust, security, privacy, and risk management problems, and seek understanding are finally welcome. Best papers from the 7th International Symposium on Secure Virtual Infrastructures - Cloud and Trusted Computing (http://www.otmconferences.org/index.php/conferences/ctc-2018) will be also invited to submit to the special issue. The following themes are of particular interest: - Authentication, auditing and accountability in Cloud-Edges - Edge computing architectures and solution design patterns - Edge computing for IoT - Communication and networking protocols for Cloud-Edges - Fine-grained access control mechanism in Cloud-Edges - Privacy-preserving computation in Cloud-Edges - Trust and reputation issues in Cloud-Edges - Security architecture for Cloud-Edges - Key management in Cloud-Edges - IoT communication in Cloud-Edges - Data caching for big data in Cloud-Edges - Big data analytics in Cloud-Edges - Incentive models or techniques for data processing in Cloud-Edges - Privacy-Enhancing Cryptographic Techniques in Cloud-Edges - Secure Data Analysis and Private Learning - Outsourced or Verifiable Computation in Cloud-Edges - Secure Software-Defined Networking and Virtualization for in Cloud-Edges - Security for Crowdsourcing in Cloud-Edges IMPORTANT DATES - Manuscript Due: January 15, 2019 *FIRM* - First Review Notification: April 15, 2019 - Revised Manuscript: May 31, 2019 - Second Review Notification: June 30, 2019 - Second Revised Manuscript: July 31, 2019 - Camera Ready Paper Due: August 31, 2019 - Publication Date: Third Quarter of 2019 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Documentation, reconfiguration, and verification are crucial tasks for a solid design of technological solutions, but are only partially supported in the current landscape of Big Data technologies. Rethinking data and metadata management in the context of Big Data technologies is then a primary goal for future research. Methods, principles, and perspectives developed by the Data Semantics community can significantly contribute to the aformentioned issues. Solutions for integrating and querying schema-less data, have received much attention. Standards for metadata management have been proposed to improve data integration among silos and to make data more discoverable and accessible through heterogeneous infrastructures. A further level of application of Data Semantics principles in Big Data technologies involves Representing Processes, i.e. the entire pipeline of technologies connected to achieve a specific solution and to make this representation shareable and verifiable to support a mature implementation of the Big Data production cycle. Following the manifesto paper "Big Data Semantics" (J. Data Semantics 7(2), 2018), which identified the important and yet unsolved issues of managing semantics of Big Data, we continue research on this topic. The aim of this special issue of FCDS is to promote research on Big Data semantics and to create a common place for sharing contributions to this topic. Topics of interest for submission include (but are not limited to): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Big Data Management Metadata Management Big Data Persistence and Preservation Big Data Quality and Provenance Control Big Data Storage and Retrieval Big Data Integration Architectures and Techniques Data Source Discovery Big Data Profiling and Semantics Discovery Querying Heterogeneous Big Data Repositories Caching and Materializing Query Results Quality of Big Data Services Big Data Service Performance Evaluation Big Data Service Reliability and Availability Reproducibility of Big Data Services Verifiability of Big Data Services Assurance in Big Data Services Big Data Visualization Real Time Visualisation Visualization Analytics for Big Data Big Social Media Mining Big Data Security and Privacy Big Data System Security and Integrity Big Data Information Security Privacy-Preserving Big Data Analytics Usable Security and Privacy for Big Data Performance of Big Data Architectures Query Optimization Optimal Selection of Analytics Physical Structures Timetable: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- 20 Feb 2019 - paper submission 10 May 2019 - author notification 31 Jul 2019 - revision submission 31 Sep 2019 - final acceptance notification 10 Oct 2019 - camera-ready submission Submission information: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- * Papers must be submitted via EasyChair using the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fcdsspecialissue2019 * We encourage using Latex, the FCDS template can be downloaded from: http://fcds.cs.put.poznan.pl/FCDS/Files/fcds.zip * Max number of pages: 28 in the FCDS style

The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)
by Massimo CAFARO 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

WPDM 2019 The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2019/ CALL FOR PAPERS The Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) will be held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2019), http://www.iccsa.org Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia July 1-4 2019 Final submission Deadline: February 17, 2019 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. 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. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. 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. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. 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. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.

CFP: SDM 2019 FEND Workshop, May 2-4, 2019, Alberta, Canada

Call for Papers Workshop on Data Mining for Fake news in Social Media: Propagation, Detection, and Mitigation (FEND'19), in conjunction with SDM'19 http://pike.psu.edu/fend19/ May 2-4, 2019, Alberta, Canada Social media has become a popular means to consume news. However, the quality of news on social media is lower than traditional news organizations. Because it is cheap to provide news online and much faster and easier to disseminate through social media, large volumes of fake news, i.e., those news articles with intentionally false information, are produced online for a variety of purposes, such as financial and political gain. The extensive spread of fake news can have severe negative impacts on individuals and society. First, fake news can break the authenticity balance of the news ecosystem. For example, it is evident that the most popular fake news was even more widely spread on Facebook than the most popular authentic mainstream news during the U.S. 2016 presidential election. Second, fake news intentionally persuades consumers to accept biased or false beliefs for political or financial gain. For example, in 2013, $130 billion in stock value was wiped out in a matter of minutes following an Associated Press (AP) tweet about an explosion that injured Barack Obama. AP said its Twitter account was hacked. Third, fake news changes the way people interpret and respond to real news, impeding their abilities to differentiate what is true from what is not. Therefore, itâ€™s critical to understand how fake news propagate, developing data mining techniques for efficient and accurate fake news detection and intervene in the propagation of fake news to mitigate the negative effects. The objectives of this workshop are: - Bring together researchers from both academia and industry as well as practitioners to present their latest problems and ideas; - Attract social media providers who have access to interesting sources of fake news datasets and problems but lack the expertise in data mining to use data effectively; - Enhance interactions between data mining, text mining, social media mining, and sociology and psychology communities working on problems of fake news propagation, detection, and mitigation. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and social media providers for understanding fake news propagation, improving fake news detection in social media and mitigation. Topic areas for the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following: - User behavior analysis and characterization for fake news detection - Text mining â€“ mining news contents and user comments - Early fake news detection - Unsupervised fake news detection - Fact-checking - Tracing and characterizing the propagation of fake news and true news - Malicious account and bot detection, user credibility assessment - Visual analysis and exploration with images on the news - News event aggregation and detection - Building benchmark datasets for fake news detection in social media Paper Submission: Papers should be submitted as PDF, using the SIAM conference proceedings style, available at https://www.siam.org/Portals/0/Publications/Proceedings/soda2e_061418.zip?v…. Submissions should be limited to nine pages and submitted via CMT at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FEND2019. Important Dates: Submission deadline: February 1, 2019 Notification: March 15, 2019 SDM pre-registration deadline: April 2, 2019 Camera ready: April 15, 2019 Conference dates: May 2-4, 2019 Shall you have any questions, please email to szw494(a)psu.edu or kai.shu(a)asu.edu.

CfP - Ada Developer Room at FOSDEM 2019, Brussels, Belgium
by Dirk.Craeynest＠cs.kuleuven.be 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Presentations 9th Ada Developer Room at FOSDEM 2019 Saturday 2 February 2019, Brussels, Belgium http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dirk/ada-belgium/events/19/190202-fosdem.html Organized in cooperation with Ada-Europe ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ada-Belgium [1] is pleased to announce that there will be a one-day Ada Developer Room on Saturday 2 February 2019 at FOSDEM 2019 in Brussels, Belgium. This Ada DevRoom is once more organized in cooperation with Ada-Europe [2]. General Information ------------------- FOSDEM [3], the Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting, is a free and non-commercial two-day weekend event organized early each year in Brussels, Belgium. It is highly developer-oriented and brings together 8000+ participants from all over the world. No registration is necessary. The goal is to provide open source developers and communities a place to meet with other developers and projects, to be informed about the latest developments in the open source world, to attend interesting talks and presentations on various topics by open source project leaders and committers, and to promote the development and the benefits of open source solutions. Ada Programming Language and Technology --------------------------------------- Awareness of safety and security issues in software systems is increasing. Multi-core platforms are now abundant. These are some of the reasons that the Ada programming language and technology attracts more and more attention, among others due to Ada's support for programming by contract and for multi-core targets. The latest Ada language definition was updated early 2016. Work on new features is ongoing, such as improved support for fine-grained parallelism, and will result in a new Ada standard scheduled for 2020. Ada-related technology such as SPARK provides a solution for the safety and security aspects stated above. More and more tools are available, many are open source, including for small and recent platforms. Interest in Ada keeps increasing, also in the open source community, and many exciting projects have been started. Ada Developer Room ------------------ FOSDEM is an ideal fit for an Ada Developer Room. On the one hand, it gives the general open source community an opportunity to see what is happening in the Ada community and how Ada technology can help to produce reliable and efficient open source software. On the other hand, it gives open source Ada projects an opportunity to present themselves, get feedback and ideas, and attract participants to their project and collaboration between projects. At previous FOSDEM events, the Ada-Belgium non-profit organization organized very well attended Ada Developer Rooms, offering a full day program in 2006 [4], a two-day program in 2009 [5], and full day programs in 2012 [6], 2013 [7], 2014 [8], 2015 [9], 2016 [10], and 2018 [11]. An important goal is to present exciting Ada technology and projects also to people outside the traditional Ada community. Our proposal for another dedicated Ada DevRoom was accepted, and now work continues to prepare the detailed program. We most probably will have a total of 8 schedulable hours between 11:00 and 19:00 in one of the rooms which accommodate from 59 to 85 participants. More information will be posted on the dedicated web-page on the Ada-Belgium site [12], and final announcements will of course also be sent to various forums, lists and newsgroups. Call for Presentations ---------------------- We would like to schedule technical presentations, tutorials, demos, live performances, project status reports, discussions, etc, in the Ada Developer Room. Ada-Belgium calls on you to: - inform us at ada-belgium-board(a)cs.kuleuven.be about specific presentations you would like to hear in this Ada DevRoom; - for bonus points, subscribe to the Ada-FOSDEM mailing list [13] to discuss and help organize the details; - for more bonus points, be a speaker: the Ada-FOSDEM mailing list is the place to be! Do you have a talk you want to give? Do you have a project you would like to present? Would you like to get more people involved with your project? We're inviting proposals that are related to Ada software development, and include a technical oriented discussion. You're not limited to slide presentations, of course. Be creative. Propose something fun to share with people so they might feel some of your enthusiasm for Ada! Speaking slots are either 15 or 45 minutes, plus 5 minutes for Q&A. Depending on interest, we might also have a session with lightning presentations (e.g. 5 minutes each). Note that all talks will be streamed live (audio+video) and recorded, for remote as well as later viewing of talks, and so that people can watch streams in the hallways when rooms are full. By submitting a proposal, you agree to being recorded and streamed, and agree the content of your talk will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM content, a Creative Commons (CC-BY) license. Submission Guidelines --------------------- Subscribe to the Ada-FOSDEM mailing list [13], and submit your proposal there. If needed, feel free to contact us at ada-belgium-board(a)cs.kuleuven.be. Please include: - your name, affiliation, contact info; - the title of your talk (be descriptive and creative); - a short descriptive and attractive abstract; - potentially pointers to more information; - a short bio and photo. See programs of previous Ada DevRooms (URLs below) for presentation examples, as well as for the kind of info we need. We'd like to put together a draft schedule by early December. So, please act ASAP, and definitely by Saturday December 1, 2018 at the latest. We look forward to lots of feedback and proposals!
