I apologize for any cross-posting of this announcement ======================================================================================== 8th International Workshop on Parallel and Cloud-based Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (ParBio) http://staff.icar.cnr.it/cannataro/parbio2019/ held in conjunction with ACM BCB 2019 The 10th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Health Informatics Niagara Falls, NY Sept 7-10, 2019 http://acm-bcb.org/ ======================================================================================== * * * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * ======================================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Paper submissions due: June 15, 2019 Notifications sent to authors: July 1, 2019 Camera-ready papers due: July 8, 2019 Workshop date: TBD ======================================================================================== Due to the availability of high-throughput platforms (e.g. next generation sequencing, microarray and mass spectrometry) and clinical diagnostic tools (e.g. medical imaging), a recent trend in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine is the ever-increasing production of experimental and clinical data. Considering the complex analysis pipelines often used in biomedical research, there is a main bottleneck that involves the storage, integration, and analysis of experimental data, as well as their correlation and integration with publicly available data banks. While parallel computing and Grid computing may offer the computational power and the storage to face this overwhelming availability of data, Cloud Computing is a key technology to hide the complexity of computing infrastructures, to reduce the cost of the data analysis task, and especially to change the overall model of biomedical research and health provision. High-performance infrastructures may offer the huge data storage needed to store experimental and biomedical data, while parallel computing can be used for basic pre-processing (e.g. parallel BLAST, mpiBLAST) and for more advanced analysis (e.g. parallel data mining). In such a scenario, novel parallel architectures (e.g. CELL processors, GPUs, FPGA, hybrid CPU/FPGA) coupled with emerging programming models may overcome the limits posed by conventional computers to the mining and exploration of large amounts of data. On the other hand, these technologies yet require great investments by biomedical and clinical institutions and are based on a traditional model where users often need to be aware and face different management problems, such as hardware and software management, data storage, software ownership, and prohibitive costs (different professional-level applications in the biomedical domain have an high starting cost that prevent many small laboratories to use them). The Cloud Computing technology, that is able to offer scalable costs and increased reachability, availability and easiness of application use, and possibility to enforce collaboration among scientists, is already changing the business model in different sectors and now it has begun to be adopted in the bioinformatics and biomedical domains. However, many problems remain to be solved, such as availability and safety of the data, privacy-related issues, availability of software platforms for rapid deployment, and the execution and billing of biomedical applications. The goal of ParBio 2019 is to bring together scientists in the fields of high performance and cloud computing, computational biology and medicine to discuss, among the others, the parallel implementation of bioinformatics and biomedical applications and problems and opportunities of moving biomedical and health applications on the cloud. Moreover, big data analytics issues in healthcare and bioinformatics will be addressed. The workshop will focus on research issues, problems and opportunities of moving biomedical and health applications on the cloud, as well as on the opportunity to define guidelines and minimum requirements for a Biomedical Cloud. Moreover, the workshop will discuss about parallel and distributed management and analysis of molecular and clinical data that more and more need to be integrated and analyzed in a joint way. TOPICS OF INTEREST The main themes and research topics will regard the applications of parallel and high performance computing to biology and medicine, as well as Cloud Computing opportunities and problems for bioinformatics and biomedical applications - Data Science in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Big data analytics in healthcare and bioinformatics - Data Mining in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Deep Learning in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Sentiment Analysis in bioinformatics and healthcare - Affective Computing in bioinformatics and healthcare - Text mining of biomedical literature and clinical notes - Healthcare data quality, privacy, and security - High performance computing for computational biology - Data integration and ontologies in biology and medicine - Large scale biological and biomedical databases - Parallel bioinformatics algorithms - Parallel visualization and exploration of omics and clinical data - Parallel visualization and analysis of biomedical images - Computing environments for large scale collaboration - Scientific workflows in bioinformatics and biomedicine - Emerging architectures and programming models for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Parallel processing of bio-signals - Modeling and simulation in healthcare and medicine - Cloud Computing for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Cloud Computing for health systems - Services for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Internet of Things in bioinformatics and healthcare - Peer-To-Peer Computing for bioinformatics and biomedicine PROGRAM The workshop will take place on (TBD) It is scheduled as half-day The program is not available yet.

Call For Papers: The 1st International Workshop on Human-oriented Intelligent Defence Against Malware Threats (HIDAMT) 2019
by Andrii Shalaginov 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Dear Colleague, (Apologies for multiple postings) You are welcome to submit your contributions to the workshop on Human-oriented Intelligent Defence Against Malware Threats, which will be held as a part of the 28th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) 2019. The conference will take place on the 10-16th of August 2019 in Macao, China. Workshop webpage and detailed information: https://folk.ntnu.no/andriis/hidamt2019/ *** IMPORTANT DATES *** May 2, 2019 (extended from Apr 12): Due date for full workshop paper submissions May 22, 2019 (extended from May 10): Paper acceptance notification June 14, 2019 (extended from Jun 3): Final camera-ready papers submission Aug 10-12, 2019: Workshops and conference *** INTRODUCTION *** Recent cybersecurity incidents involving malware demonstrated how serious the consequences can be for both individual users and large organizations. McAfee report on malware threats shows that over four quarters of 2017 there were identified 690 millions of malware samples, which is an extreme number considering amount of manual work required to process even a tiny fraction of those. Many malware analysis across different security organizations spent hours trying to analyze and understand functionality of malware. At the same time overwhelming amount of malicious threats and malware forms cause considerable delays from the time malware has been discovered to the time a corresponding efficient signature was created. Moreover, the malware infection is no longer limited to personal computers, but now also hits such components as Internet of Things and Industrial Control Systems, which were previously unaffected and the cybersecirty impact was underestimated. From before Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence have demonstrated advantages of application in cybersecurity-related tasks. In particular, many researchers have been employing such techniques to mitigate obfuscation, polymorphous and encryption while building intelligent malware detection mechanisms. Intelligent malware analysis and detection is an emerging topic of cybersecurity that has to go in line with advancement of malware developers and consistent presence of zero-day attacks. Our focus is not only to build and effective Machine Learning-based malware protection, but also comprise models that are to be understood by human experts. Therefore, we believe that Machine Learning-aided human-oriented approaches will ensure timely response to malware threats. Moreover, those can serve as a stepping stone in faster and more efficient analysis of novel malware as well as similarity-based identification of adversarial attacks on Machine Learning. *** PROPOSED TOPICS *** Note that the topics are not limited to this proposed list. 1. Automated pre-processing phase - Efficient features identification and construction - Novel approaches for malware categorization - Human-understandable characterization of malware - Indicators of Compromise as successful identification tool - Information Fusion and Open Threats Intelligence 2. Advanced computational methods - Deep Learning models - Similarity-based analysis to avoid evasion - Big Data-oriented optimization of detection - Hybrid Intelligence and Soft Computing - Secure and robust models to avoid adversarial attacks 3. Combating malware in a wild - End-point implementations - Novel malware collection and sharing platforms - Applications in Decision Support Systems - Human reasoning in Machine Learning-aided malware detection - Real-time defence and online learning - Explainable rules derived from train Machine Learning models *** PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS *** Andrii Shalaginov, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Geir Olav Dyrkolbotn, Center for Cyber and Information Security Sergii Banin, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Ali Dehghantanha, University of Guelph Katrin Franke, Norwegian University of Science and Technology *** PROGRAM COMMITTEE *** Olaf M.

by Peter Strazdins 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Registration is now open for: Challenges in High Performance Computing 2-6 September 2019 Location: Hanna Neumann Building (145), The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia Website: https://maths.anu.edu.au/news-events/events/challenges-high-performance-com… About: Scientific computing is often termed as the "third way to do science", alongside theory and experiments. The focus of the workshop is to investigate the current challenges of solving large scale problems on high performance computers. To achieve optimal performance it is critical to incorporate techniques that are at the forefront of both the mathematical and computer sciences. Consequently, the workshop has a strong multidisciplinary focus covering the five important areas of: Algorithms, Applications, Middleware, Resilience and Software. Each day of the conference will address one of these topics. A review lecture will be given in the morning by an eminent researcher in that area. Participants are invited to give more specialised talks in the afternoon, followed by a discussion session. The major aim of the workshop is to foster cooperation and communication between members of each of these five different communities, as well as to strongly encourage student participation. Invited Speakers: Algorithms: David Keyes, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Resilience: Ulrich Ruede, Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg Software: Lois Curfman McInnes, Argonne National Laboratory Applications: Raquel Salmeron, Airservices Australia Middleware: George Boscila, University of Tennessee Organising committee: Brendan Harding, University of Adelaide Stuart Hawkins, Macquarie University Lilia Ferrario, Australian National University Linda Stals, Australian National University Peter Strazdins, Australian National University Contact: Brittany Joyce admin.research.msi(a)anu.edu.au Part of the Special Year 2019: Computational Mathematics https://maths.anu.edu.au/news-events/event-series/special-year-2019-computa… -- Regards, Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter Strazdins, PhD GCHE, SIEEE SFHEA Research School of Computer Science ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science CSIT Building 108, North Rd The Australian National University, Canberra ACT 2601 AUSTRALIA T: +61 2 6125 5140 F: +61 2 6125 0010 W: http://cs.anu.edu.au/~Peter.Strazdins E: Peter.Strazdins(a)cs.anu.edu.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------
