***KGAAS 2019*** [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ****************************************************** THE FIRST IEEE SERVICES WORKSHOP ON KNOWLEDGE GRAPH AS A SERVICE (KGAAS) In conjunction with the IEEE SERVICES 2019, July 8-13, 2019, Milan, Italy http://conferences.computer.org/services/2019/workshops/kgaas_workshop.html ****************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Everything as a Service (EaaS or XaaS) has followed the development of Software-Defined Everything as stakeholders determine the ultimate culmination of human production of both tangible and intangible services. However, in the light of the overall trend of AI driven conversion from traditional services to intelligent services, prevailing challenges arise for both conceptual foundations and technical preparation, especially involving semantic understanding and utilizations. As Knowledge Graphs are increasingly recognized as an important approach to solving problems related to semantic understanding beyond question and answering systems, various solutions focusing on Knowledge Graphs have been proposed. These cover Knowledge Graph creation, understanding, searching, reasoning, modification and especially and most recently embedding technologies with Machine Learning. A foreseeable AI landscape with explainable and interactive human interactions is becoming feasible based on Knowledge Graphs. The boundaries of the capability of Knowledge Graph usages are constantly expanding, but there are also open questions as to what issues can be solved by Knowledge Graphs alone. Hierarchical architectures which project Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW) seem to be well paired with the organizing capability of Knowledge Graph technologies in terms of the 5W ( What, Where, When, How and Why). Although not yet formally settled as a uniform concept itself, Knowledge Graphs have been actually or implicitly functioning as Data Graph, Information Graph, Knowledge Graph and Wisdom Graph according to the DIKW hierarchy. Recently we have also seen the emergence of various applications and models of Knowledge Graph as a Service (KGaaS) as a gradual acceleration towards an era of strong AI in contrast to the currently prevailing weak AI. This workshop aims to bring together scientists, researchers, and industrial engineers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress and case studies on theories, design mechanisms and extensions on Knowledge Graph as a Service. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Small data learning - Knowledge Graph as a Service - AI as a Service - Explainable Machine Learning Services - Knowledge Management and creation in Context-aware and Situation-aware Services - Ontology modeling for IR - Data acqusition and linking for Edge Computing - Information analysis and abstraction for Edge Computing - Knowledge creation and reasoning for Edge Computing - DIKW architecture-based content/resource processing and service provision - Security and Privacy Services based on Knowledge Graphs - Load balancing based on transformations among layers of DIKW - Edge and Fog Network Services related to DIKW architecture-based - Theories and methods for transformations and coordination among layers of DIKW - Meta Modeling and formal modeling, and verification methods of semantic rich graphs SUBMISSION We call for original and unpublished papers no longer than 6 pages (up to 2 additional pages may be purchased subject to approval by the Publication Chair). All papers will be reviewed with a minimum of 3 good-quality reviews per paper. The manuscripts should be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and be submitted as PDF files (formatted for 8.5x11-inch paper).

DEADLINE EXTENSION: HPBench 2019 - CFP
by Samar Aseeri 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

Dear Sir, dear Madam, Submission deadline has been extended to April 1st. Accepted papers will be published at IEEE. Best regards ========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The 6th Special Session on High Performance Computing for Application Benchmarking and Optimization (HPBench 2019) As part of the International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2019) http://hpcs2019.cisedu.info/ or http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs19 Dublin, Ireland ========================================================================== Benchmarking is an essential aspect of modern high performance computing and computational science, and as such, it provides a means for quantifying and comparing the performance of different computer systems. With a large combination of aspects to benchmark, all the way from the capability of a single core, to cluster configuration, and to various software configurations, the benchmarking process is more of an art than science. However, the results of this process drive modern science and are vital for the community to draw sensible conclusions on the performance of applications and systems.

DEADLINE EXTENDED - The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)
by Massimo CAFARO 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

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 15, 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.
