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. Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers not exceeding 8 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages including figures, tables, and references using the ACM format for conference proceedings. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Reference style files are available at <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees.

CfP: 2nd International Workshop on Software Architecture Challenges in Big Data (SACBD 2019)
by Zoltán Mann 23 May '19

23 May '19

2nd Call for Papers 2nd International Workshop on Software Architecture Challenges in Big Data (SACBD 2019) Co-located with ECSA 2019, the 13th European Conference on Software Architecture 9-10 September 2019, Paris, France Paper submission deadline: 31 May 2019 http://www.bdva.eu/node/1262 BACKGROUND ========== Software systems managing big data have very challenging architectural requirements, e.g., in terms of performance, flexibility, and reliability. Big data systems often embody a number of technologies, such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), fog computing, high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular machine learning (ML). These technologies come with their own technical limitations and constraints that also impact the architecture of big data systems. Enforcing security, privacy, transparency, and ethics are also concerns of increasing importance, with potential architectural implications. OBJECTIVES ========== The Big Data Value Association (BDVA, http://www.bdva.eu/) initiated the SACBD workshop series to provide a forum for discussing all aspects of the software architecture challenges of big data systems. The workshop welcomes the contributions of practitioners and researchers alike. The workshop is open to all, both BDVA members and non-members. Technical issues and challenges related to software architecture are well covered by the European Big Data Value Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (http://www.bdva.eu/SRIA). Such software architecture trends are facilitating new data-driven operations and services which are at the core of the new economy revolving around big data value. As organizations become more and more data-centric, they need to re-design their software architectures accordingly. For example, data-intensive systems and applications need to be put in place and properly integrated with traditional systems (e.g. web applications). This affects not only the architecture design but also its implementation and non-functional aspects. For example, performance and data protection are paramount when dealing with Big Data. This situation creates a need for new methods and tools to design and reason about software architectures in Big Data scenarios and paves the way for various research directions. For example, how to design software architectures when dealing with Big Data? Which are the typical architectural patterns? How to assess the performance or the privacy risk of Big Data architectures? The workshop will focus on these and many others aspects of software architectures in the Big Data era. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== The workshop solicits papers on all aspects of software architecture for big data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Software architectures in genuine big data scenarios * Architectural patterns for big data * Architectures of big data systems (e.g., Spark, Flink, Hadoop) * Integration of Big Data systems with other business systems * Non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, security, privacy, reliability) * Combining big data with IoT, HPC, cloud computing, fog computing * Applying machine learning to big data scenarios, big data integration with artificial intelligence * Fostering business with big data and analytics SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===================== Original, high-quality papers are solicited, from researchers and practitioners alike. Both full papers (maximum 8 pages) and short papers (maximum 4 pages) will be considered. All papers must be written in English and follow the ACM formatting instructions and templates for conference papers, as specified under https://www.acm.org/publications/icps-instructions/. Independently from the length, several types of papers will be considered (experience reports, new approaches, review or analysis of existing approaches, empirical studies, theoretical results, negative results, position papers, vision papers). The contribution of a paper must be commensurate with its length. Submitted papers must be original, not submitted and not published elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the ECSA companion proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Papers must be submitted in PDF using the online submission system under the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sacbd2019. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the workshop topics. FURTHER INFORMATION =================== SACBD 2019 will be co-located with ECSA 2019, the 13th European Conference on Software Architecture (https://ecsa2019.univ-lille.fr/). The workshop will take place on 9-10 September 2019 in Paris, right before the main ECSA conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must register, attend the workshop, and present the work. Registration is subject to the terms, conditions and procedure of the ECSA 2019 conference.
