WSCC 2023: Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum (co-located with EuroPar 2023)
by Matteo Nardelli 28 Mar '23

28 Mar '23

(Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) ************************************************************************** WSCC 2023: Euro-Par 2023 International Workshop International Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum Date: 28 August - September 2023 Location: Limassol, Cyprus Workshop web page: https://wscc2023.di.unipi.it/ Euro-Par web page: https://2023.euro-par.org/ ************************************************************************** * Call for Papers The “Compute Continuum” paradigm promises to manage the heterogeneity and dynamism of widespread computing resources, aiming to simplify the execution of distributed applications improving data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy management as well as other non-functional features. This is made possible by overcoming resource fragmentation and segregation in tiers, enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility. All of this should be achievable by application developers without having to worry about how and where the developed components will be executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute Continuum, proactive, autonomous, and infrastructure-aware management is desirable, if not mandatory, calling for novel interdisciplinary approaches that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods. In this landscape, the workshop is willing to attract contributions in the area of distributed systems with particular emphasis on support for geographically distributed platforms and autonomic features to deal with variable workloads and environmental events, and take the best of heterogeneous and distributed infrastructures. A partial list of interesting topics of this workshop is the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for Compute Continuum - System software for cloud-edge-IoT orchestration - Distributed and decentralized management of resources and application deployment in the Compute Continuum - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis - Compute Continuum as a service - Energy-efficient solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum - AI in the Compute Continuum - Scalable applications for Compute Continuum (IoT, microservices, serverless) - Data-intensive and stream processing systems and applications in the Compute Continuum - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving Compute Continuum - Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the Compute Continuum * Submission Instructions The papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines. They should be between a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 12 pages. * Special Issue Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the Special Issue of the Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems on “Scalable Compute Continuum”.

[DEADLINE APPROACHING] ACM SNTA’23 - The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics
by Massimo Cafaro 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (ACM SNTA’23) in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2023 (http://www.hpdc.org/2023/) Orlando, Florida, United States, June 16 - 23, 2023 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 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 artificial intelligence 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 an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network 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 - Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing - Distributed and federated machine learning - Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization - Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs - Wireless, sensor, 5G/6G networks measurement and analysis - Software/knowledge-defined-* technologies - Advances in network and storage technologies - Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications - Performance modeling, analysis, and engineering - Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems - Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis Important dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2023 Author notification: April 14, 2023 Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2023 Paper submission: All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

Special Issue on Industrial IoT networks to support future Cloud-to-Things applications – Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier – The Cloud-to-Things (C2T) continuum is a novel paradigm that extends the cloud-computing centralized architecture by introducing intermediate computing layers to host industrial applications and services with stringent requirements in terms of latency and reliability in the communication with IoT devices and sensors. Recent network architectures that support the integration of IoT devices into existing networks, like 6TiSCH or 5G/6G, include by design support for strict Quality of Service (QoS) communication requirements to ensure timed and reliable data delivery between applications and IoT devices. The deployment and management of the C2T multi-tier computing infrastructure connected with industrial IoT via heterogeneous communication technologies on a large-scale will require innovative approaches to guarantee QoS application requirements by enabling the convergence between computing and networking. Current networking management approaches are not adequate to support this convergence, thus leading to research open issues in multiple areas, including, for instance, IoT networks performance optimization, efficient resource management, scalable device management, novel compute-network joint management strategies, etc. In this special issue, we look for original and high-quality research works in these areas to enable the convergence between networking and computing in the C2T continuum for industrial applications. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: *Network resource allocation and management in Industrial IoT networks *Integration between cloud-edge infrastructure and 5G/6G networks for the Industrial IoT *Network continuity to support efficient offloading to optimize network performance *Network strict-QoS for Industrial applications in the C2T continuum *Joint network configuration and workload distribution in the C2T continuum *Security issues and solutions for industrial systems in the C2T continuum *Ad-Hoc Networks for industrial applications to support mobility *Vehicular networks for cooperative autonomous vehicles *Self-organizing networks in the C2T continuum *Scalable management solutions in the C2T continuum *Novel network paradigms to support the C2T continuum with QoS guarantees Guest editors: Jiannong Cao, Hong Kong Polytechnic University,jiannong.cao(a)polyu.edu.hk Sajal K.
