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.

[Journal] [Special Issue] CFP: Image and Vision Computing
by Pourya Shamsolmoali 16 Feb '20

16 Feb '20

Image and Vision Computing CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Advances in Domain Adaptation for Computer Vision Aim and Scope: In daily routines, humans, not only learn and apply knowledge for visual tasks but also have intrinsic abilities to transfer knowledge between related vision tasks. For example, if a new vision task is relevant to any previous learning, it is possible to transfer the learned knowledge for handling the new vision task. In developing new computer vision algorithms, it is desired to utilize these capabilities to make the algorithms adaptable. Generally, traditional computer vision methods do not adapt to a new task and have to learn the new task from the beginning. These methods do not consider that the two visual tasks may be related and the knowledge gained in one may be applied to learn the other one efficiently in lesser time. Domain adaptation for computer vision is the area of research, which attempts to mimic this human behavior by transferring the knowledge learned in one or more source domains and use it for learning the related visual processing task in the target domain. Recent advances in domain adaptation, particularly in cotraining, transfer learning, and online learning have benefited computer vision research significantly. For example, learning from high-resolution source domain images and transferring the knowledge to learning low-resolution target domain information. This special issue will focus on the recent advances in domain adaptation for different computer vision tasks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Domain adaptation for machine learning frameworks for learning deep representations · Domain adaptation for face detection/recognition and tracking · Domain adaptation for object detection/ recognition and tracking · Domain adaptation and hybrid models for real-time computer vision tasks · Domain adaptation for human pose detection/recognition and estimation · Domain adaptation for event/action detection and recognition · Domain adaptation for few-shot learning · Domain adaptation for deep neural network optimization Important Dates: Paper submission due: May 31, 2020 First notification: July 31, 2020 Revision submission due: September 30, 2020 Final decision: November 30, 2020 Paper evaluation and submission: Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Special Issue. All submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, the significance of contribution, technical quality, and quality of presentation, by at least two independent reviewers (the papers will be reviewed following standard peer-review procedures of the Journal). Each paper will be reviewed rigorously and possibly in two rounds. Prospective authors should follow the formatting and Instructions of Image and Vision Computing at https://www.elsevier.com/journals/image-and-vision-computing/0262-8856/guid…, and invited to submit their papers directly via the online submission system at https://www.editorialmanager.com/IMAVIS/default.aspx.

CfP: Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics & Engineering 2020
by Werner Benger 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Dear Colleagues, It is our great pleasure and privilege to invite you for the workshop *Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics & Engineering 2020* ENGAGE 2020 on 23rd of June 2020 at CGI 2020 in Geneva, Switzerland. The *abstract submission (ca. 200 words) deadline* for all participants has been postponed to: */March 31, 2020/ to hitzer(a)icu.ac.jp <mailto:hitzer@icu.ac.jp>* Please see the Call for Papers (below) for details. And please consult the CGI 2020 website as well: http://www.cgs-network.org/cgi20/ We very much hope, that you will be able to participate in ENGAGE 2020 and present your latest research results in this field at the shore of Lake Geneva. With kind regards, Eckhard Hitzer (On behalf of the organizing team of ENGAGE 2020) * * *Call for Papers : Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics & Engineering Workshop @ CGI 2020 – 23rd June 2020* CGI 2020 URL: http://www.cgs-network.org/cgi20/ Since ACM SIGGRAPH2001 and 2003 conferences, there has been limited attention on the benefits of employing W. K. Clifford’s geometric algebras (GA), quaternions and octonions in solving computer graphics and vision problems. In the meantime, the geometric algebra community focused on GA applications and greatly advanced it as an adequate and viable computing technology. The Workshops at CGI’2016 on “Geometric Algebra in Computer Science and Engineering” and at CGI’2017, 2018, 2019 on “Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics & Engineering” began to bridge that gap. Under the auspices of *CGI’20 *(22-25 June), ENGAGE (Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics & Engineering) on *June 23rd* in Geneva, Switzerland, will again engage in a multi-disciplinary approach from mathematics, applied to computer graphics, computer vision and general computer science fields where GA has strong potential to answer existing mathematical problems. GA is in a particularly well suited to allow cross-disciplinary solutions in software engineering as it provides an intuitive and insightful common denominator across mathematical disciplines that have often advanced application specific. Understanding GA enables us to relate distinct, seemingly incompatible paths by providing a common mathematical base. We invite original contributors in the form of full and short papers, which advance the state-of-the-art of the application of geometric algebra as well as of its computing technology in *topics related, but not limited to:* * Feature Detection & Data Analysis * LIDAR and Point Cloud Algorithms * Scientific & Information Visualization * Computer graphics rendering * Computer animation and video processing * Holographic optics & Holographic maps * Geographic Information Systems * Soundscape & Electromagnetic landscape Modelling * Augmented and Virtual Reality * Application of Clifford Fourier transforms and Clifford wavelets to 2D and 3D images, including color images * Higher dimensional geometric algebras * GA Computing and Quantum Computing * GA hardware implementations * GA for Artificial Intelligence * GA for ubiquitous information processing * GA for Big Data processing & visualization * Other engineering/applied science applications using GA Authors should submit short and full papers directly to the CGI conference LNCS proceedings, by April 7th deadline. All authors of accepted ENGAGE related papers will be invited either to an oral or poster presentation. For Springer LNCS CGI proceedings author instructions please refer to http://www.cgs-network.org/cgi20/?page_id=1359. Post workshop extended and more advanced ENGAGE papers (15 pages plus) can be published in the topical collection “Geometric Algebra for Computing, Graphics and Engineering” of the Journal Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras (AACA), published by Birkhauser, and should have been orally presented at the conference.

CONFERENCE WEBSITE ================== http://www.computingfrontiers.org/2020/ SUBMISSION ========== We encourage the submission of both full and short papers containing high-quality research describing original and unpublished work. Papers must be submitted through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cf2020 Short papers may be position papers or may describe preliminary or highly speculative work. Full papers are a maximum of eight (8) (excluding references) and short papers a maximum of four (4) (including references) double-column pages in ACM conference format (http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html) Authors may buy up to two (2) extra pages for accepted full papers. Page limits include figures, tables and appendices, but exclude references for full papers. As the review process is double-blind, removal of all identifying information from paper submissions is required (i.e. cite own work in third person). Papers not conforming to the above submission policies on formatting, page limits and the removal of identifying information will be automatically rejected. No-show policy: Any accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference and at least one full registration is required from a submission author for each accepted paper. A no-show of papers will result in exclusion from the ACM digital library proceedings. If circumstances arise such that authors are unable to present their papers at the conference, they must contact the PC co-chairs.

Final Reminder of Paper Deadline: PDSEC-20 Workshop (with IPDPS-20)
by Shontz, Suzanne Michelle 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Dear All: This is a final reminder of the January 31 deadline for papers to be submitted to the 21st IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-20). See http://cse.stfx.ca/~pdsec20/ . It will be held on May 22, 2020 in New Orleans in conjunction with IPDPS 2020. Deadline: PDSEC-20 deadline: 31 Jan 2020 (AoE) Scope and Interests: The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an increasing burden placed on application developers due to the management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its associated performance characteristics. Many existing scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parallel and distributed computing community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges in order to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the scientific application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability.
