Elsevier JSA Special Issue on VHPC
by Tommaso Cucinotta 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

[feel free to forward to possible interested colleagues, apologies for cross-posting] Dear all, the International Workshop on “Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing” (VHPC), just recently completed on May in co-location with the ISC High Performance 2023 conference in Hamburg, has come to its *18th successful edition*. Therefore, we're glad to celebrate the "maturity" of the VHPC series of workshops, by accompanying this year edition with a *Special Issue of the Elsevier Journal of Systems Architecture (JSA), focusing on VHPC-related research topics*: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-systems-architecture/about… (Q1 journal in Scimago SJR/CiteScore rankings) Papers for the JSA Special Issue on VHPC are due on *September 29th, 2023*. Authors of accepted papers at VHPC 2023 and previous recent editions of the workshop are invited to submit extended versions of their VHPC papers to the JSA Special Issue. These will undergo a new peer-reviewing process, to meet the high standards required for publishing on JSA. Extended papers need to provide significant unpublished novel contents, compared to the already published workshop papers (check the guide for authors for details). The *JSA VHPC Special Issue call for papers is also open to any other submission dealing with topics within the VHPC scope*, e.g., virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection among HPC, Containerization/Virtualization and Cloud/Edge Computing, encompassing aspects related to design/architecture, management & orchestration, performance & fault-tolerance, modeling and configuration/tooling. For more information, submission guidelines, and the submission link, please, refer to the *official page about the JSA Special Issue on VHPC*: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-systems-architecture/about… Kind regards, The JSA VHPC Special Issue Guest Editors.

FGCS Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum
by Matteo Nardelli 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '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. Guest Editors ======================= Valeria Cardellini, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy. Patrizio Dazzi, University of Pisa, Italy. Gabriele Mencagli, University of Pisa, Italy. Matteo Nardelli, Bank of Italy, Italy. Massimo Torquati, University of Pisa, Italy. 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. All submissions deemed suitable by the editors to be sent for peer review will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Once your manuscript is accepted, it will go into production to be published in the special issue. Looking forward to receiving your excellent submissions soon. Best regards, Valeria Cardellini, Patrizio Dazzi, Gabriele Mencagli, Matteo Nardelli, and Massimo Torquati
