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. 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, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at: <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scala17>.

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email! ********** WORKS 2019 Workshop********** 14th Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science Workshop http://works.cs.cardiff.ac.uk/ Sunday 17 November 2019, Denver, CO Held in conjunction with SC19, http://sc19.supercomputing.org/ Paper submission deadline: 15 July 2019 ***************************************** Call For Papers Data-intensive Workflows (a.k.a. scientific workflows) are routinely used in most scientific disciplines today, especially in the context of parallel and distributed computing. Workflows provide a systematic way of describing the analysis and rely on workflow management systems to execute the complex analyses on a variety of distributed resources. They are at the interface between end-users and computing infrastructures. With the dramatic increase of raw data volume in every domain, they play an even more critical role to assist scientists in organizing and processing their data and to leverage HPC or HTC resources, e.g., workflows played an important role in the discovery of Gravitational Waves. This workshop focuses on the many facets of data-intensive workflow management systems, ranging from job execution to service management and the coordination of data, service and job dependencies. The workshop therefore covers a broad range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that include: data-intensive workflows representation and enactment; designing workflow composition interfaces; workflow mapping techniques that may optimize the execution of the workflow; workflow enactment engines that need to deal with failures in the application and execution environment; and a number of computer science problems related to scientific workflows such as semantic technologies, compiler methods, fault detection and tolerance. The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: Big Data analytics workflows Data-driven workflow processing (including stream-based workflows) Workflow composition, tools, and languages Workflow execution in distributed environments (including HPC, clouds, and grids) Reproducible computational research using workflows Dynamic data dependent workflow systems solutions Exascale computing with workflows In Situ Data Analytics Workflows Interactive workflows (including workflow steering) Workflow fault-tolerance and recovery techniques Workflow user environments, including portals Workflow applications and their requirements Adaptive workflows Workflow optimizations (including scheduling and energy efficiency) Performance analysis of workflows Workflow debugging Workflow provenance ***************************************** Important Dates Papers due: 15 July 2019 Paper acceptance notification: 1 September 2019 E-copyright registration completed by authors: 1 October 2019 Camera-ready deadline: 1 October 2019 Submitted papers must be at most 10 pages long.

IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission: Friday, June 21, 2019 Paper Submission: Friday, June 28, 2019 *Firm Extended Deadline* Reviews for Rebuttals: Monday, July 29, 2019 Rebuttals due: Monday, August 5, 2019 Initial Submission Decision: Monday, August 19, 2019 Revisions Due: Friday, September 20, 2019 Author Notification: Monday, September 30, 2019 Camera Ready: Monday, October 14, 2019 Manuscript Guidelines Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references. See IEEE style templates at this page for details. Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file. Manuscripts must be received by the published paper submission deadline. All manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee and evaluated on originality, relevance of the problem to the conference theme, technical strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, and organization and clarity of presentation of the paper. Authors are highly encouraged to list the key contributions of their paper. This should be in a separate paragraph in the introduction to the paper. Please note that the review process is “single-blind” (i.e., authors can list their names on the paper). This year we are introducing a two-phase review process, in which the first round of reviews will be made available to the authors for a brief rebuttal. Based on the reviews and the rebuttal, an initial decision will be issued. Papers will be either accepted or rejected or recommended for a second round. Authors of papers recommended for a second round will be allowed to revise the paper to address the comments and suggestions made by the program committee. The revisions will undergo a second round of review before the final notification. 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, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chairs of the respective tracks at their contact email addresses below for further information or clarification. Notification of review decisions will be emailed by September 30, 2019. Camera-ready papers are due by October 14, 2019. A published proceedings will be available at the conference. At least one author of each paper must be registered for the conference in order for the paper to be published in the proceedings. Presentation of an accepted paper at the conference is a requirement of publication. Any paper that is not presented at the conference will not be included in IEEE Xplore.
