[hpc-announce] [CfP] 1st ASMECC workshop on Autonomic and Self-* Management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum (ASMECC 2023) - co-located with ACSOS'23
by Gamblin, Todd 21 Apr '23

[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 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.

FGCS Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum
by Matteo Nardelli 17 Apr '23

(Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) ============================================== Future Generation Computer Systems Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum The full call for papers is available on the official FGCS website: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems/ab… ============================================== Motivation and Scope ======================= 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 the fragmentation of IoT-edge-cloud resources and their segregation in tiers, enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. By distributing resources all around, the emerging Compute Continuum paradigm supports the execution of data-intensive applications as close as possible to data sources and end users. 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 application components will be executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute Continuum, autonomous, proactive, 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. This special issue aims to investigate and gather research contributions on the emerging Compute Continuum, seeking solutions for running distributed applications while efficiently managing heterogeneous and widespread computing resources. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for the 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 the Compute Continuum; - Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the Compute Continuum.

Important Dates ======================= Submission portal opens: May 1, 2023 Deadline for paper submission: November 3, 2023 Latest acceptance deadline for all papers: March 8, 2024 Manuscript Submission Instructions ======================= The FGCS’s submission system ( https://www.editorialmanager.com/FGCS/default.aspx) will be open for submissions to our Special Issue from May 1, 2023. When submitting your manuscript please select the article type VSI: SI_SCC_ScalCompContinuum.
