REV-A 2017 - Paper deadline extension
by Luiz DeRose 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deadline Extension -------------------- REV-A 2017 CFP --------------------- Re-Emergence of Vector Architectures Workshop - https://rev-a.github.io/ To be held in Conjunction with the IEEE Cluster 2017 September 5, 2017, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Paper submission: REV-A Submission<https://easychair.org/conferences/overview.cgi?a=13663824> Papers due: June 25, 2017 The commoditization of high performance computing to a broader range of applications coupled with the reduction in performance improvement from traditional scaling technologies has led to a broad interest in a number of new compute acceleration technologies from GPGPUs to CGRAs and FPGAs. Meanwhile, SIMD widths have been widening to try to keep up with computational demand and general purpose architectures have started incorporating features from the vector architectures that used to dominate high performance computing. From IBM's Vector Media eXtension (VMX) to NEC's SX architecture to Intel's Advanced Vector eXtension (AVX) to ARM's recently announced Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) -- all of the major general purpose architectures seem to have embraced a return to vector based functionality. Supporting these hardware developments there are a number of features being proposed for incorporation into modern programming models and languages in order to support the vector additions as well as restructuring memory access in order to feed the computational pipelines. Meanwhile application developers have been hard at work trying to refactor code to take advantage of wider vector units and more complicated memory hierarchies. Tools and techniques for developing for these new vector architectures are still evolving, particularly on emerging languages and runtimes. The REV-A 2017 workshop will be a full-day meeting to be held at the IEEE Cluster 2017, in Honolulu, Hawaii, focusing on all aspects of vector architectures, programming models, programming frameworks, and applications. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to: * Programming framework * Programming model and language explorations * Compilation and optimization including: o algorithmic improvements o code optimization * Performance Analysis and Debugging Tools * Performance Metrics and Evaluations * Libraries and run-time systems * Design, generation, verification and validation of representative applications * Case-studies of representative applications * Innovative applications for vector architectures * Hardware studies and micro-architectural implementation tradeoffs The REV-A workshop proceedings will be published along with the IEEE Cluster Digital Library. Submitted manuscripts should follow the IEEE Xplore format for publication: not exceed 10 single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures, tables, and references. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal. Accepted papers will have a page limit of 8 pages, and authors can purchase an additional 2 pages, for a total of 10 pages maximum. Important Dates: Papers due: June 25, 2017 <<<--- Extension Author notification: July 17, 2017 Camera-ready final papers due: July 30, 2017 REV-A Workshop: September 05, 2017 Workshop Chairs: Luiz DeRose Cray Inc.

ACM MEDES 2017 (Bangkok, Thailand): Submission deadline has been extended
by Youakim Badr 16 Jun '17

16 Jun '17

Please distribute widely and accept our apologies for cross-posting * *************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************** (Extended version: June 26th, 2017) *** Extended versions of selected papers will be published in Journal of Intelligent Information Systems, published by Springer *** The 9th International ACM Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems (MEDES'17) In-Cooperation with ACM, ACM SIGAPP and IFIP WG 2.6 http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/17/ November 7-10, 2017 Bangkok, Thailand Description and Objectives --------------------------- In the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), the rapid growth and exponential use of digital components leads to the emergence of intelligent environments namely "digital ecosystems" connected to the web and composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. With the help of the computational intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit new self-* properties (such as self-management, self-healing and self-configuration) environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying web-based resources mainly comprehend big data management, innovative services, smart and self-* properties platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative, intelligent and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as big data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystems (MEDES),previously named "The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems", aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. MEDES 2017 calls for full papers presenting interesting recent results or novel ideas in all areas of Emergent Digital EcoSystems. At the same time, the conference calls for short papers presenting interesting and exciting recent results or novel thought-provoking ideas that are not quite ready, and preferably include a system demonstration. Topics ------- MEDES 2017 seeks contributions in the following areas: - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Data & Knowledge Management - Computational and Collective Intelligence - Semantic Computing - Software ecosystems for software engineering - Big Data - Services - Trust, Security & Privacy - Software Engineering - Internet of Things and Intelligent Web - Cyber Physical Systems - Social and Collaborative Platforms - Human-Computer Interaction - Open Source - Applications (Logistics, Energy, Healthcare, Environment, Smart Cities, Digital Humanities, Robotics, etc.) - Complex Systems and Networks Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP. Important Dates ---------------- - Submission Deadline: June 26th, 2017 - Notification of Acceptance: July 25th, 2017 - Camera Ready: September 1st, 2017 - Paper Registration: September 1st, 2017 - Conference Dates: 7-10 November 2017 Advisory Chairs ---------------- Yannis Manolopoulos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Ernesto Damiani, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy Conference Chairs ---------------- Richard Chbeir, University of Pau and Adour Countries, France Asanee Kawtrakul, Kasetsart University, Thailand Program Chairs ---------------- William Grosky, University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA Toshikazu Kato, Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan Ali Ouni, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan International Program Committee -------------------------------- (Please check the web site for the full list)

CfP: IEEE eScience Environmental Computing Workshop (ECW) - submission deadline 30th June
by Matti Heikkurinen/LMU 16 Jun '17

16 Jun '17

Call for Papers: Environmental Computing Workshop (ECW) Organised in conjunction with eScience 2017 conference October 24 - 27 2017 Auckland, New Zealand http://www.envcomp.eu/eScience2017 This workshop will bring together practitioners, policymakers, and environmental modelling experts to present the latest developments in Environmental Computing. Submissions by groups and individuals working on related – or potentially related – fields are also encouraged in order to uncover new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. The topics of interest include: • Case studies in environmental computing related domains • Environmental modelling and optimisation techniques • Novel environmental computing applications • Multi-scale, multi-model and multi-physics systems • Civil protection and related engineering challenges • Scalability of environmental HPC and Big Data applications • Risk analysis, assessment, management, and mitigation • Interdisciplinary and stakeholder collaboration • Dynamic multi-directional model coupling approaches • Multifaceted data and metadata frameworks • Urgent computing and probabilistic models • Data visualisation and interactive analysis • Uncertainty quantification and visualisation BACKGROUND Already today, many domain- or problem-specific areas – such as meteorology or seismic analysis –use multi-model, multi-data, and multi-scale approaches to analyse and study environmental phenomena and their impact. However, a more generalised approach to producing actionable knowledge from different environmental data sources is needed to build more comprehensive multi-model systems that can more readily support various decision making processes. The topic is of acute interest due to environment-related societal challenges that require generalising, productising and maturing today’s environmental modelling solutions. Imminent application areas of environmental computing include managing disasters and disaster risks, supporting prompt political decision making, and many other similar domains. PAPER AND ABSTRACT SUBMISSION The contributions can be traditional papers (maximum 10 pages), experience papers (short papers or annotated slide sets of maximum 15 slides) or presentations abstracts. Contributions should be submitted at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecw2017 by June 30th.
