The Fourth International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (SNTA 2021)
by Massimo CAFARO 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email] Call for Papers The Fourth International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (SNTA 2021) https://sdm.lbl.gov/snta/2021/ Scope: The tasks of systems and network telemetry are a key element for effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing systems, by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities to provide the visibility into what is occurring at any time. The tasks will be significantly complicated with the greater complexity of computing systems, increasing network speed, and the newly introduced mobile and IoT devices. Such changes will render the existing telemetry and analysis techniques to be outdated, and more scalable techniques may be in place for data-driven and deeper data analysis. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative challenges, data pressure in systems and networks also comes from various sources such as sensors, computing systems, networking and security devices, and other \emerging computing elements speaking with different syntax and semantics, which makes organizing and incorporating the generated data difficult for extensive analysis. This workshop aims at bridging the systems and network measurement and the latest advances in machine learning and data science technologies, to advance the performance and reliability of HPC and distributed systems. New analysis techniques are needed in the modern world, from the diverse angles of systems/network performance, availability, and security. For example, real-time streaming analytics algorithms and methods need to be explored for estimating network performance and summarizing the traffic variables to capture the network activities due to the network bandwidth increase. Multivariate analysis of telemetric variables may be able to provide the intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and networks dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed in the future with the latest development in the storage and archival technologies. In addition, many applications in this area may need to address the application-specific requirements and challenges. This workshop intends to share visions of investigating new approaches and methods at the intersection of data sciences and HPC/distributed computing systems. Topic of interest (but not limited to): - Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization - HPC, superfacility, and distributed systems - Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing - Distributed and federated machine learning - Performance modeling, analysis, and engineering - Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization - Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications - Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs - Wireless, mobile/5G networks - Software-Defined-* technologies - Storage and archival technologies - Experiences and practices on systems/network data analysis Program Committee TBD Organizing Committee Massimo Cafaro, University of Salento, Italy Jinoh Kim, Texas A&M University-Commerce Alex Sim, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Important Dates Submission deadline: March 14, 2021 Author notification: April 18, 2021 Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2021 Workshop: June 21, 2021 The Fourth International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (SNTA 2021) HPDC2021 Stockholm, Sweden, June 21-25, 2021 Submission Guidelines All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

Intelligent and Autonomous Systems (IAS), that support IoT and CPS, facilitate difficult daily tasks in large eras of applications, especially in industry where a large amount of collected data should be efficiently analyzed in order to be optimally exploited. IAS offer a great importance and promising outcomes with a direct impact on a society safety, productivity, and development. The difficulty arises on both sides of either developing new IAS or enhancing the deployed ones with the needed features and capabilities. IAS run on different environments and should follow different standards that make it difficult to ensure IAS requirements. Many solutions were developed in academia and applied by industrial to build a smart and autonomous system. Some of them rely on formal methods and system engineering whereas others look forward on big data and data analysis using mainly artificial intelligence techniques, in addition to other research areas such as networking, security, resiliency, etc. SIAS2021 provides a platform for professionals from academia, government, and industry to discuss how to address the increasing challenges facing IAS.

Deadline Extension (March 1, 2021) - CfP for EUSIPCO 2021 Special Session "Image and video analysis for autonomous drones"
by Ioanna Koroni 21 Feb '21

21 Feb '21

Dear drone imaging scientists and engineers, you are invited to submit an original, unpublished technical paper to the Special Session "Image and video analysis for autonomous drones" of EUSIPCO 2021: https://eusipco2021.org/. New submission deadline for the EUSIPCO conference is March 1, 2021. Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, or drones) are becoming more and more important to many industries, promising simplified logistics, cost reductions, increased safety for humans, quicker response times and more accurate results, when compared to traditional procedures. Drones are highly useful thanks to their easy deployment, their aerial point-of-view and their ability to access difficult-to-reach spaces. Recent advances in aerial robotics and AI have already pushed drone automation to an unprecedented degree in various application domains, such as infrastructure inspection and maintenance, aerial cinematography, search and rescue operations, etc. Manipulation, processing, analysis and learning of visual signals lie at the forefront of this revolution. This special session will consider current research in this interdisciplinary subject, aiming to bring together researchers working on image/video analysis and experts in aerial robotics. Topics of interest may include, among others: - Embedded computer vision - Deep learning for image/video analysis - Multimodal perception - Sensor and data fusion - Fault and anomaly detection in drone footage - Subcentimeter-accuracy inspection - Autonomous drone cinematography - Vision-based localization and mapping - Vision-based drone navigation/control - Vision-based human-drone interaction This Special Session concerns a very timely topic with high industrial potential, given that fully/semi- automated drones are slowly emerging as a viable alternative to manually teleoperated ones, thanks to recent advances in robotics and AI. A lot of underlying cognitive functionalities that enable such autonomy, particularly the ones facilitating drone perception, rely on advanced image/video analysis methods for achieving their goals, making this a highly interdisciplinary topic of exceptional interest both to imaging scientists and aerial robotics researchers. The Special Session is organized by Prof. I. Pitas and Dr. I. Mademlis, from the Artificial Intelligence and Information Analysis Lab (AIIA Lab), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (AUTH), under the auspices of the EU-funded Horizon 2020 programme AERIAL-CORE (https://aerial-core.eu/) Relevant links: 1) Horizon2020 EU funded R&D project Aerial-Core: https://aerial-core.eu/ 2) AIIA Lab: https://aiia.csd.auth.gr/ Sincerely yours, Prof. I.
