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>. Full papers will be published with the SC'17 workshop proceedings in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore. Selected papers will be invited for an extended version in a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science (JoCS).

(sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (HPCMS) Within PDP 2021 (www.pdp2021.org/) The 29th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and Network-Based Computing Valladolid (Spain) (online) 10-12 March 2021 https://www.pdp2021.org/specialsessions/hpcms/hpcms.html New Extended Deadline: October 21th, 2020 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 seventh edition which will take place in Valladolid (Spain). 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 (Extended) Paper submission: 21 October 2020 Acceptance notification: 23 December 2020 Camera ready due: 17 January 2021 Conference: 10 - 12 March 2021 Submission guidelines Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt).

Kind regards, Fernando Diaz-del-Rio Jose Luis Guisado-Lizar University of Seville (Spain) The 6th International Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of and by Parallel and Distributed Systems (MSPDS 2020) CALL FOR PAPERS & PARTICIPATION As part of The 18th International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2020) http://hpcs2020.cisedu.info/ or http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs20 10 - 14 December 2020 Barcelona, Spain (Virtual/Online event) Paper Submission Deadline: 25 September 2020 Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Large parallel systems have become mainstream of both commercial and scientific computing. At the same time, high performance computing (HPC) has witnessed a revolution that has turned it into a jungle populated by very different types of parallel computing systems exploiting parallelism at different levels. They include multi- and many-core CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, TPUs or heterogeneous systems joining together several of those types of devices. Shared-memory systems with hundreds of processors are commercially available, while a new generation of massively parallel systems have pushed the limits of scalability to unprecedented levels. Designing and understanding these systems requires new simulation and modeling approaches that can be effective at those scales. New software- and hardware-based simulation techniques have been developed to cope with those challenges. The goal of this workshop is to promote the discussion and presentation of new research and development in the area of simulation and modeling of large parallel and distributed systems as well as simulation and modeling of applications that use HPC systems. We encourage original contributions from work on the following areas: MSPDS Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to the following areas: * Simulation of Exascale Systems * Simulation of Interconnection Architectures and Technologies * Workload Characterization to help Simulation Studies * Parallel and Distributed Simulators * Hardware accelerators for simulating parallel systems * Bootstrapping: Using a current generation system to design the next generation * Modeling and simulation at the data centers level * Use of reconfigurable logic for simulation of parallel systems * Parallel and Distributed Discrete-Event Simulation * Machine learning for developing models of parallel systems * New and novel approaches to modeling and simulation of large and complex systems * Modeling techniques, including reuse of models, modeling languages, agent-based M&S, and spatially explicit M&S * M&S to manage and/or optimize operational systems and methodological challenges arising from these applications such as online simulation, symbiotic simulation, dynamic data-driven, real-time and embedded simulation, and emulation of real systems. * Simulation of breaking technologies (e.g. quantum computing, wireless photonics, etc) * Simulation and modeling of applications that use HPC systems * Modeling of HPC systems and components * Modeling in various domains of knowledge using HPC and parallel systems and algorithms, including (but not limited to) parallel models of complex systems, multiscale models, multi-agent systems, P-systems models, cellular automata and stencil computation, neuromorphic models, etc. * Modeling and Evaluation Methods and Studies INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to modeling and simulation of high performance parallel and distributed computing systems and applications.
