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 Submission Deadline extended to: March 3, 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 HPC Virtualization-Containers: VHPC ‘19 Workshop Paper Submission due April 19, 2019
by Michael Alexander 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 14th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '19) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 16-20, 2019, Frankfurt, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ==================================================================== Date: June 20, 2019 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Paper Submission Deadline: April 19, 2019 Springer LNCS, rolling abstract submission Abstract/Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25685 Call for Papers Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O Virtualization in turn allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume. Topics of Interest The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC, containers-virtualization and the cloud.

by Maria Vanina Martinez 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

============================================================ ================================================================ Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message ============================================================ ================================================================ Incompleteness in Information John Grant and Maria Vanina Martinez (Eds) ============================================================ ================================================================ After the successful completion and publication of our book "Measuring Inconsistency in Information" last year, we are now ready to start another book project. We plan to edit a book "Incompleteness in Information" and are looking for prospective chapter authors and reviewers. The dual concepts of incompleteness and inconsistency were introduced in the early 1970s by John Grant. While there was little research on inconsistency in information for several decades, incompleteness became important within a few years on account of the null value problem in relational databases for which John showed that Codd's 3-valued logic approach , later adopted for SQL, did not always give the correct answer. So research on incompleteness has been going on for nearly 50 years. We would like to put together a book that covers the past, present, and future of incompleteness. So we are interested in survey chapters of past work on incompleteness, research chapters of up-to-date issues in this area and would like a chapter that concentrates on research issues for the future. We are interpreting incompleteness in a fairly broad sense for databases and AI including games, for instance. However, we are excluding incompleteness in the sense of statistical, probabilistic, and fuzzy data. If you (or someone you know) may be interested in this project in any way such as writing a chapter, or reviewing, or if you have any suggestions or advice please write to either grant(a)cs.umd.edu (John Grant) or mvmartinez(a)dc.uba.ar (Maria Vanina Martinez). Tentative Schedule: Chapters Due: Oct 31, 2019 Acceptance and Reviews: Jan 31, 2020 Final Version: March 31, 2020 Publication: May 2020

Special Session on HPC in Modelling and Simulation at NUMTA 2019 - Crotone, Calabria, Italy
by William Spataro 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

*** sorry for cross postings *** NUMTA Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (NUMTA2019-HPCMS) TH Le Castella Village Le Castella - Isola Capo Rizzuto Crotone, Italy DEADLINE for One-page Abstract submission: March 18, 2019 CFP Model development for the simulation of the evolution of artificial and natural systems is essential for the advancement of Science. The increasing power of computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable. An important mission of the HPCMS Special Session within the NUMTA 2019 3rd International Conference and Summer School is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities, Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field. The session intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, hydrology, medicine, ecology, traffic control, economy, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications - Complex systems modelling and simulation - Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence implementations - Integrated approach to optimization and simulation - MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science - Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in Computational Science - High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, earth science and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation Submission One-page abstract should be submitted before March 18, 2019 EasyChair system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=numta2019 (please follow the EasyChair hints for the HPCMS session to correctly prepare and submit your abstract). The authors are also invited to contact the organizers of the special session (William Spataro spataro(a)unical.it) before submitting their abstract (please include "HPCMS – NUMTA abstract submission" in the email subject header).
