[Deadline approaching] WSCC 2023: Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum (co-located with EuroPar 2023)
by Matteo Nardelli 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '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 “… [View More]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”.

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. If you'd like to opt out of these announcements, information on how to unsubscribe is available at the bottom of this email.] # 1st ASMECC Workshop on Autonomic and Self-* Management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum (ASMECC 2023) The 1st ASMECC Workshop on Autonomic and Self-* Management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum (ASMECC 2023) is co-located with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS … [View More]2023) that will take place in Toronto, Canada on September 25-29, 2023. ## Important Dates * Abstract deadline: July 1st, 2023 (soft) * Submission deadline: July 10th, 2023 * Notification: July 31st, 2023 * Camera-ready submission: August 5th, 2023 * Workshop date: September 25-29, 2023 (TBD) All times are intended in Anywhere on Earth (AoE) timezone. ## Scope and Topics Edge-cloud computing continuum paradigms (e.g. edge, fog, mist computing) enable distributed and pervasive computing and networking to support a variety of novel ICT-based applications and services. They represent a deployment target and a management plane for the software elements (components, microservices, functions) making up modern distributed applications. The heterogeneity, pervasiveness, dynamism, and interplay with applications, that characterise the cloud-edge continuum provide significant opportunities and challenges, in terms of operational flexibility and efficiency. A major challenge lies in supporting the autonomic management of applications while respecting and opportunistically optimising against the set of constraints, requirements, and preferences indicated by applications, users, owners, and providers. Edge-cloud continua have to become intelligent, embedding cognitive-like capabilities for monitoring, reasoning, planning, and acting. A number of specific issues arise, requiring novel ideas and techniques to be developed. For instance, how can MAPE-K architectures be adapted to work on the edge-cloud continuum? How may learning be exploited to refine dynamic deployment policies or anticipate changes? How can the learned models be explained? What programming models can be used to adequately express application logic independently of its deployment across the continuum? What formal specification languages can support architectural descriptions while enabling analysis of properties of interest? How can the infrastructure self-organise into resilient structures supporting connectivity and distributed task allocation? How to promote sustainability and energy/resource-efficiency across the edge-cloud continuum? These are just a few research questions that may be investigated. But the investigation itself requires tools, simulators, and benchmarks to conduct experiments in controlled environments without incurring in the costs of running experiments in real-world settings. This workshop solicits papers that investigate on the use of autonomic/self-* techniques to understand, design, and develop solutions on/for the edge-fog-cloud continuum. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Algorithms for self-adaptive/self-organising management of applications across the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Devops solutions for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Languages for the specification of deployments, applications, or management policies - AI techniques for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - ML techniques for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Mathematical methods supporting modelling and algorithmic solutions for the edge-fog-cloud and its management issues - Soft computing techniques for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Self-* techniques for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Theories and models at the basis of applications and platforms on the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Tools or simulators for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Edge-cloud computing for the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems - Edge-cloud computing for swarm systems ## Submission instructions Originality. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not concurrently submitted for publication elsewhere. Kinds of submissions. Submitted papers should provide original research contributions, and must not exceed 6 pages (including references; up to two additional pages may be purchased for CR). The workshop welcomes different kinds of research work: theoretical, experimental, review, tool, application. Format. All paper submissions should follow the formatting indications of the main conference, i.e., IEEE 8.5” x 11” Two-Column Format (IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings). E-submission site: <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsos202… > NOTE: upon submission, you have to select the track “Workshop on Autonomic and Self-* Management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum”. ## Review process Reviews. Papers will be peer reviewed for originality, relevance to themes, significance, presentation, soundness, and overall quality – emphasising breadth and relevance to the topics of the workshop. All papers will be reviewed by a TPC with a minimum of 3 reviews per paper. Reviews will be single-blind. ## Post-acceptance instructions Registration and presentation. At least one of the authors of every accepted paper must register and present the paper at the workshop. Publication and indexing. All accepted and presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and indexing databases like Elsevier, IET, and Scopus. ## Workshop Chairs - Roberto Casadei (Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, Italy) - Lukas Esterle (Aarhus University, Denmark) - Stefano Forti (University of Pisa, Italy) For any inquiry, please contact us at <asmecc23.workshop(a)easychair.org>. ******************************************************************************** The hpc-announce mailing list has been setup to have a common mailing list to share information with respect to upcoming HPC related events. You are included in this mailing list based on your participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event. The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow participants to easily identify such emails, and handle them appropriately. Some options include: 1. If you feel that the number of such emails is too many, filter them to less-frequently-read folders in your email client. 2. Change your subscription to a digest option (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-a… ) which will consolidate emails sent that week into a single summary email. If you do not remember your password (which is needed to change these options), you can reset it using the "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" button at the bottom of the page. 3. Finally, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce, you can unsubscribe from the mailing list (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-a… ). Once unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will need to send an email to hpc-announce-owner(a)mcs.anl.gov to be added back on.
