ParCo2019 Symposium on Tools and Infrastructure for Reproducibility in Data-Intensive Applications
by Sandro Fiore 10 Jun '19

============================================================================ ParCo2019 Symposium on Tools and Infrastructure for Reproducibility in Data-Intensive Applications September 10, 2019 in Prague https://sites.google.com/cmcc.it/parco2019-reprod-symposium/home ============================================================================ Overview Meaningful advances in science and engineering are increasingly predicated on data-driven decision making. For these decisions to be valid, it is essential that the one not only record the process by which results were produced, but be able to reproduce the data involved at every step in the process. While we are all used to tracking source code revisions, and keeping track of program inputs and outputs, the increased complexity of end-to-end computing pipelines, coupled with new big-data and machine learning algorithms, imposes significant complexity on tracking all of the steps and associated data that went into producing a result. For example, keeping track of exactly what data use used for a training set vs. an evaluation set, what cleaning was done, what analysis was done on the results to evaluate performance, and what additional experiments were performed. With the ever-increasing number, size, and complexity of the data used in data-intensive applications, reproducing results from these types of investigations becomes increasingly difficult. While no-one deliberately sets out to create un-reproducible results, recent surveys of the literature shows that the ability to reproduce data-intensive results are the exception and not the rule. For these reasons, a symposium on issues, tools and infrastructure for data intensive applications is highly germane to the ParCo community. In this symposium, we propose to review current state of the art in reproducibility in data-intensive computing applications. We will cover three primary topic areas: - Reproducibility challenges that are specific to science and engineering activities that have data-intensive computing as a core aspect of the process - Infrastructure, tools and methods that are currently available for reproducible data-intensive applications, and gaps and challenges that need to be addressed. - How to increase the adoption of methods for reproducible data-intensive applications across the research community. Dates: - Submission of extended abstracts/draft papers: 31 July 2019 - Notification of acceptance for presentation at the Symposium: 10 August 2019 - Submission of full papers: 10 September 2019 - Symposium: 10 September, 2019 - Notification of acceptance of full papers for publication: 30 September 2019 - Deadline for submission of full papers for proceedings: 31 October 2019 Submission guidelines: - Extended abstracts should be ca. 2 pages. Full papers are allowed the same number of pages as all other papers included in the proceedings, i.e. 10 pages. - Contributions should be submitted by e-mail to the Symposium organisers at: sandro [dot] fiore [at] cmcc [dot] it , foster [at] uchicago [dot] edu , carl [at] isi [dot] edu - Please specify in the subject of your email: [Symposium contribution] Organizers: - Sandro Fiore Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change - Ian Foster University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory - Carl Kesselman University of Southern California Useful Information about ParCo2019 - Location and dates: Prague, Czech Republic, 10-13 September 2019 - Conference website: https://www.parco.org/ - Symposium page: https://www.parco.org/symposia.html *********************************************** Sandro Fiore, PhD Head of the Data Science and Learning Research Team Advanced Scientific Computing (ASC) Division Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC Foundation) Via Augusto Imperatore 16 - 73100 Lecce (Italy) http://www.cmcc.it/ email: sandro.fiore(a)cmcc.it Linkedin: https://it.linkedin.com/pub/sandro-fiore-ph-d/8/ba3/80 GScholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=VmTh7jcAAAAJ&hl=en ************************************************

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. The proceedings should be formatted according to the IEEE format (see https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, appendices and references.

(sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (HPCMS) Within PDP 2020 (www.pdp2020.com) The 28th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and Network-Based Computing Västerås (Sweden) 11-13 March 2020 http://www.pdp2020.com/specialsessions/hpcms/hpcms.html Deadline: September 15th, 2019 Contact: William Spataro - spataro(a)unical.it ************************************************************************* AIMS AND SCOPE The development of models through which computers can simulate the evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the advancement of Science. In the last decades, 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. Following the success of our past HPCMS workshops at PDP (since 2014), we are glad to invite you to our sixth edition which will take place in Västerås (Sweden). An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop 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. HPCMS 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, medicine, ecology, sociology, 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, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: 15 September 2019 Acceptance notification: 20 October 2019 Camera ready due: 11 December 2019 Conference: 11 - 13 March 2020 Submission guidelines Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt).

IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission: Friday, June 21, 2019 *Firm Extended Deadline* 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.
