For more information see http://pmaa18.ethz.ch/
(apologies for cross-postings)
The 19th IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-18) http://cse.stfx.ca/~pdsec18
will be held on May 25, 2018 in Vancouver in conjunction with IPDPS 2018.
Deadline:
PDSEC-18 papers are due Friday 25 Jan 2018 (AoE)
Scope and Interests:
The technological trends of HPC system evolution indicates
increasing burden for application developers in management of the
unprecedented levels of complexity in hardware and the associated
performance characteristics. Many existing application codes are
unlikely to perform well on future systems without major
modifications or even complete rewrites. It will be important to
utilize, in unison, many characteristics such as multiple levels of
parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies,
novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial
performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The HPC
community has developed new programming models, algorithms,
libraries and tools to meet these challenges in order to accommodate
productive code development and effective system use. However, the
application community still needs to identify the benefit through
practical evaluations.
Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences
of scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve
sustainable code development for better productivity, application
performance and reliability. In particular, we will focus on the
following topics in parallel and distributed scientific and
engineering applications, but not limited to:
* Code modernization methodologies and experiences for adapting the
changes in future computing systems such as porting of legacy
simulation code and libraries/tools to facilitate code refactoring
and porting.
* Application and algorithm development of various parallel and
distributed programming models/framework such as CAF, UPC, Chapel,
X10, Charm++, HPX, Uintah, Legion, and/or the interoperation of
multiple models within single applications (e.g. MPI+X where X is
OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA etc). We appreciate the experiences of early
adopters of new programming models and platforms.
* Experience in new tools and libraries for effective application
development, including performance tools, application development
frameworks, Domain Specific Languages (DSLs), etc.
* Tools and techniques for improving application reliability and
resilience. This includes both performance and correctness issues,
with the latter arising from adverse operating conditions
(e.g. low power) or very large system scales.
* Use cases of enterprise distributed computing technology (such as
MapReduce, Data Analytics and Machine-learning tools) in
scientific and engineering applications.
* Large-scale parallel and distributed algorithms supporting science
and engineering applications.
* Methodologies and experiences in developing large-scale applications.

Submission guidelines:
--------------------------
IEEE ISORC 2018 invites papers in three categories.
1) Regular Research Papers: Papers should describe original work and be
maximum 8 pages in length using the IEEE paper format.
A maximum of two extra pages may be purchased.
2) Industrial Papers and Practitioner Reports: Papers describing experiences
of using ORC technology in application or tool development projects,
are an integral part of the technical program of ISORC.
A majority of these papers are expected to be shorter and less formal than
research papers. They should clearly identify and discuss in detail the issues
that represent notable industrial advances. Reports with project metrics
supporting their claims are particularly sought, as well as those that show both
benefits and drawbacks of the approaches used in the given project.
3) Short Papers: Short research papers, 4 pages or less using the IEEE format,
on real-time analytics are also invited, and should contain enough information
for the program committee to understand the scope of the project and evaluate
the novelty of the problem or approach.
Best papers from ISORC 2018 will be invited for submission to a Special Issue
of an IEEE / ACM Journal. Papers are to be submitted through the EasyChair system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isorc2018
All accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings published by IEEE.
Each accepted paper shall be accompanied by at least one non student conference registration.

*****************************************************************************************
Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing has undergone
impressive changes over recent years. New architectures, advanced
programming models, improved efficiency and novel application
domains have rapidly become the central focus of this discipline.
These changes are often a result of cross-fertilisation of parallel
and distributed computational paradigms with other rapidly evolving
technologies in different disciplines. It is of paramount importance
to review and assess these new developments in relation with the recent
research achievements in the different areas of parallel and distributed
computing, considering both the industrial and scientific point of view.
PDP 2018 will provide a forum for the discusssion of these and other issues
through original research presentations and will facilitate the exchange of
