[DEADLINE EXTENSION] The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018)
by Massimo CAFARO 17 Mar '18

17 Mar '18

WPDM 2018 The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/ CALL FOR PAPERS As part of The 18th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2018), http://www.iccsa.org July 2 - 5 2018, Melbourne, Australia Submission Deadline: April 9, 2018 SPECIAL ISSUE Selected extended versions of workshop papers will be invited to a Special Issue to appear in the Algorithms journal (see http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…) SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

Extended deadline-The Fourth International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2018) 25-29 June, 2018 Montreal, Canada
by Shao Ying Zhu 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Please accept my apologise in case you received multiple copies of this CFP. The Fourth International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2018) Deadline extended in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2018), 25-29 June, 2018 Montreal, Canada Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) have changed the networking industry dramatically. NFV virtualizes network services by utilizing virtualization technologies to reduce the dependency on underlying hardware. NFV provides many benefits such as faster service enablement, ease of resource management and lower OPEX and CAPEX. SDN separates the control functions from the underlying physical network by decoupling the control and data planes. SDN provides many benefits such as reduced costs, ease of deployment and management, better scalability, availability, flexibility and fine-grain control of traffic and security. Like traditional networks, they are subject to various security threats and attacks. In this workshop, we invite high-quality submissions in the areas of NFV and SDN security and other related areas. Submitted papers should highlight methods and approaches that can be used to analyse the security risks and requirements, threats and techniques related to NFV and SDN and to provide novel methods and approaches to assure security in NFV and SDN. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas: * Security threats and vulnerabilities introduced by NFV and SDN technologies * Management and orchestration of NFV and SDN elements for security * Security, reliability and privacy through SDN and NFV in 5G networks * Threat detection and mitigation through SDN and NFV * Security policy specification and management in SDN and NFV systems * Security related monitoring and analytics in SDN and NFV solutions * 5G security architecture, trust and confidence * Authentication, Authorization and Accounting in SDN * Security of applying SDN to wireless and mobile network * Security of applying NFV and SDN to IoT * Security of applying NFV and SDN to cloud computing * Risk and compliance issues in SDN * Security architectures for SDN * Security standards for SDN * Security of SDN data plane * Security of SDN control plane * Security of SDN application plane * Security of routing in SDN * Security as a service for SDN All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed.
