** SIMPDA 2017 ** [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp] **************************************************************************** *** SIMPDA 2017 SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON DATA-DRIVEN PROCESS DISCOVERY AND ANALYSIS 6-8 DECEMBER, 2017 - NEUCHATEL, SWITZERLAND http://simpda2017.di.unimi.it **************************************************************************** *** ## About SIMPDA With the increasing automation of business processes, growing amounts of process data become available. This opens new research opportunities for business process data analysis, mining and modeling. The aim of the IFIP 2.6 International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis is to offer a forum where researchers from different communities and the industry can share their insight in this hot new field. The Symposium will feature a number of keynotes illustrating advanced approaches, shorter presentations on recent research, a competitive PhD seminar and selected research and industrial demonstrations. This year the symposium will be held in Neuchatel. ###Call for Papers The IFIP International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis (SIMPDA 2017) offers a unique opportunity to present new approaches and research results to researchers and practitioners working in business process data modelling, representation and privacy-aware analysis. The symposium will bring together leading researchers, engineers and scientists from around the world. Full papers must not exceed 15 pages. Short papers are limited to at most 4 pages. All papers must be original contributions, not previously published or under review for publication elsewhere. All contributions must be written in English and must follow the LNCS Springer Verlag format. Templates can be downloaded from: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html Accepted papers will be published in a pre-proceeding volume of CEUR workshop series. The authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit extended articles to a post-symposium proceedings volume which will be published in the LNBIP series (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing, http://www.springer.com/series/7911), scheduled for late 2018 (extended papers length will be between 7000 and 9000 words). Around 10-15 papers will be selected for publication after a second round of review. ### Topics Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to: - Business Process Modeling languages, notations and methods - Lightweight Process Model - Data-aware and data-centric approaches - Process Mining with Big Data - Variability and configuration of process models - Process simulation and static analyses - Process data query languages - Process data mining - Privacy-aware process data mining - Process metadata and semantic reasoning - Process patterns and standards - Foundations of business process models - Resource management in business process execution - Process tracing and monitoring - Process change management and evolution - Business process lifecycle - Case studies and experience reports - Social process discovery - Crowdsourced process definition and discovery ### Workshop Format: In accordance to our historical tradition of proposing SIMPDA as a symposium, we propose an innovative format for this workshop: The number of sessions depend on the number of submissions but, considering the previous editions, we envisage to have four sessions, with 4-5 related papers assigned to each session. A special session (with a specific review process) will be dedicated to discuss research plan from PhD students. Papers are pre-circulated to the authors that will be expected to read all papers in advance but to avoid exceptional overhead, two are assigned to be prepared with particular care, making ready comments and suggestions. The bulk of the time during each session will be dedicated to open conversations about all of the papers in a given session, along with any linkages to the papers and discussions within an earlier session. The closing session (30 minutes), will include a panel about open challenges during which every participant will be asked to assemble their thoughts/project ideas/goals/etc that they got out of the workshop. ### Call for PhD Research Plans The SIMPDA PhD Seminar is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the world. The goal of the Seminar is to help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and general advice on how to use their research results. Students interested in participating in the Seminar should submit an extended abstract describing their research. Submissions can relate to any aspect of Process Data: technical advances, usage and impact studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications, theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, innovative applications, and social implications. Research plans should be at most of 5 page long and should be organised following the following structure: - Abstract: summarises, in 5 line, the research aims and significance. - Research Question: defines what will be accomplished by eliciting the relevant the research questions. - Background: defines the background knowledge providing the 5 most relevant references (papers or books). - Significance: explains the relevance of the general topic and of the specific contribution. - Research design and methods: describes and motivates the method adopted focusing on: assumptions, solutions, data sources, validation of results, limitations of the approach. - Research stage: describes what the student has done so far. ### SIMPDA PhD award A doctoral award will be given by the SIMPDA PhD Jury to the best research plan submitted. Student Scholarships An application for a limited number of scholarships aimed at students coming from emerging countries has been submitted to IFIP. In order to apply, please contact paolo.ceravolo(a)unimi.it ### CALL for Demonstrations and Posters Demonstrations showcase innovative technology and applications, allowing for sharing research work directly with colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Demonstration proposals should consist of a title, an extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 10 pages. Posters allow the presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner.

We first will review our recent work on a platform for analysing social media data in terms of topics discussed, communities and their influencers. This platform has been successfully used in a number of practical use case. When using the platform we identified the creation of domain-specific taxonomies as the main bottleneck in the analysis process. To tackle this issue we developed a novel method for taxonomy induction from domain-specific document corpora. In the second part of the talk we will discuss this method and some of the novel ideas that enabled us to produce high quality domain-specific taxonomies on the fly. ## Organizers ### CHAIRS - Paolo Ceravolo, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy - Maurice van Keulen, University of Twente, The Netherlands - Kilan Stoffel, University of Neuchatel, Switzerland ### ADVISORY BOARD - Ernesto Damiani, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy - Erich Neuhold, University of Vienna, Austria - Philippe Cudré-Mauroux , University of Fribourg, Switzerland - Robert Meersman, Graz University of Technology, Austria - Wilfried Grossmann, University of Vienna, Austria ### Program Committee - Akhil Kumar, Penn State University, USA - Benoit Depaire, University of Hasselt, Belgium - Chintan Mrit, University of Twente, The Netherlands - Christophe Debruyne, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland - Ebrahim Bagheri, Ryerson University, Canada - Edgar Weippl, TU Vienna, Austria - Fabrizio Maria Maggi, University of Tartu, Estonia - George Spanoudakis, City University London, UK - Haris Mouratidis, University of Brighton, UK - Isabella Seeber, University of Innsbruck, Austria - Jan Mendling, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria - Josep Carmona, UPC - Barcelona, Spain - Kristof Boehmer, University of Vienna, Austria - Manfred Reichert, Ulm University, Germany - Marcello Leida, TAIGER, Spain - Mark Strembeck, WU Vienna, Austria - Massimiliano De Leoni, Eindhoven TU, Netherlands - Matthias Weidlich, Imperial College, UK - Mazak Alexandra, University of Vienna, Austria - Mohamed Mosbah, University of Bordeaux - Mustafa Jarrar, Birzeit University, Palestine - Robert Singer, FH Joanneum, Austria - Roland Rieke, Fraunhofer SIT, Germany - Schahram Dustdar, Vienna University of Technology, Austria - Thomas Vogelgesang, University of Oldenburg, Germany - Valentina Emilia Balas, University of Arad, Romania - Wil Van der Aalst, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands

FPGAs can tailor the hardware to the application, avoiding overheads and achieving higher hardware efficiency than general-purpose architectures. Leading FPGA manufacturers have recently made a concerted effort to provide a range of higher-level, easier to use high-level programming models for FPGAs. Such initiatives are already stimulating new interest within the HPC community around the potential advantages of FPGAs over other architectures. With this in mind, this workshop, now in its third year, brings together HPC and heterogeneous-computing researchers to demonstrate and share experiences on legacy and new high-level programming models, optimizations specific to scientific computing and data analytics, tools for performance/energy improvements, FPGA computing in the cloud, and popular applications for reconfigurable computing such as machine learning and big data. ========================================================================== Submissions (one page extended abstract): Submissions are solicited that explore the state of the art in the use of FPGAs in heterogeneous high-performance computing architectures and, at a system level, in data centers and supercomputers. FPGAs may be considered from either or both the distributed, parallel and composable fabric of compute elements or from their dynamic reconfigurability. We particularly encourage submissions which focus on the mapping of algorithms and applications to heterogeneous FPGA-based systems as well as the overall impact of such architectures on the compute capacity, cost, power efficiency, and overall computational capabilities of data centers and supercomputers. Submissions may report on theoretical or applied research, implementation case studies, benchmarks, standards, or any other area that promises to make a significant contribution to our understanding of heterogeneous high-performance reconfigurable computing and will help to shape future research and implementations in this domain. A non-comprehensive list of potential topics of interest is given below: 1. FPGAs in Supercomputer, Cloud and Data Center: FPGAs in relation to challenges to Cloud/Data Center/Supercomputing posed by the end of Dennard scaling 2. Supercomputing, Cloud and Data Center Applications: Exploiting FPGA compute fabric to implement critical cloud/HPC applications 3. Leveraging Reconfigurability: Using reconfigurability for new approaches to algorithms used in cloud/HPC applications 4. Benchmarks: Compute performance and/or power and cost efficiency for cloud/HPC with heterogeneous architectures using FPGAs 5. Implementation Studies: Heterogenous Hardware and Management Infrastructure 6. Programming Languages/Runtimes/OS/Tools/Frameworks for Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing 7. Future-gazing: New Applications/The Cloud Enabled by Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing, Evolution of Computer Architecture in relation to Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing 8. Community building: Standards, consortium activity, open source, education, initiatives to enable and grow Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished contributions as a ONE PAGE EXTENDED ABSTRACT in ACM SIG Proceedings format. ========================================================================== You can submit your contribution(s) through a link on the H2RC website: http://h2rc.cse.sc.edu ========================================================================== Important dates: Submission Deadline (extended): September 15, 2017 Acceptance Notification: October 15, 2017 Camera-ready Manuscripts Due: November 4, 2017 Workshop Date: November 17, 2017 ========================================================================== Workshop Format: H2RC is a half-day Friday workshop.

[CFP] REMINDER: IA^3 2017 Deadline upcoming
by Tumeo, Antonino 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

NEWS: UPCOMING DEADLINE!!! IA^3 2017 Seventh Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms http://hpc.pnl.gov/IA3/ November 13, 2017 In conjunction with SC17 In collaboration with ACM SIGHPC Sponsored by IEEE TCHPC Call for Papers Irregular applications occur in many subject matters. While inherently parallel, they exhibit highly variable execution performance at a local level due to unpredictable memory access patterns and/or network transfers, divergent control structures, and data imbalances. Moreover, they often require fine-grain synchronization and communication on large-data structures such as graphs, trees, unstructured grids, tables, sparse matrices, deep nets, and their combinations (such as, for example, attributed graphs). They have a significant degree of latent parallelism, which however is difficult to exploit due to their complex behavior. Current high performance architectures rely on data locality and regular computation to reduce access latencies, and often do not cope well with the requirements of these applications. Furthermore, irregular applications are difficult to scale on current supercomputing machines, due to their limits in fine-grained synchronization and small data transfers. Irregular applications pertain both to well established and emerging fields, such as machine learning, social network analysis, bioinformatics, semantic graph databases, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and computer security. Many of these application areas also process massive sets of unstructured data, which keep growing exponentially. Addressing the issues of irregular applications on current and future architectures will become critical to solve the challenges in science and data analysis of the next few years. This workshop seeks to explore solutions for supporting efficient execution of irregular applications in the form of new features at the level of the micro- and system-architecture, network, languages and libraries, runtimes, compilers, analysis, algorithms. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to: * Micro- and System-architectures, including multi- and many-core designs, heterogeneous processors, accelerators (GPUs, vector processors, Automata processor), reconfigurable (coarse grained reconfigurable and FPGA designs) and custom processors * Network architectures and interconnect (including high-radix networks, optical interconnects) * Novel memory architectures and designs (including processors-in memory) * Impact of new computing paradigms on irregular workloads (including neuromorphic processors and quantum computing) * Modeling, simulation and evaluation of novel architectures with irregular workloads * Innovative algorithmic techniques * Combinatorial algorithms (graph algorithms, sparse linear algebra, etc.) * Impact of irregularity on machine learning approaches * Parallelization techniques and data structures for irregular workloads * Data structures combining regular and irregular computations (e.g., attributed graphs) * Approaches for managing massive unstructured datasets (including streaming data) * Languages and programming models for irregular workloads * Library and runtime support for irregular workloads * Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads * High performance data analytics applications, including graph databases Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. We solicit both 8-page regular papers and 4-page position papers. Authors of exciting but not mature enough regular papers may be offered the option of a short 4-page paper and related short presentation. Artifact Evaluation For this edition of IA^3, authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process, similarly to the process followed for SC17. The participation to the Artifact Evaluation process is voluntary and will not change decisions regarding the paper. However, papers that undergo the evaluation process will receive a seal of approval on the paper, and will be able to participate in the BEST PAPER AWARD selection. DIVIDITI will provide an Amazon Gift Voucher (valued $200) to the authors of the paper that passes artifact evaluation with the highest score and that shares the artifact in the CK (Collective Knowledge - https://github.com/ctuning/ck) format. Authors that go through the Artifact Evaluation process are also encouraged (but not mandated) to submit the supporting materials as “Source Materials” in the digital library. For details on how to submit supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation process, please refer to: http://ctuning.org/ae/submission.html. For any additional question on the Artifact Evaluation process please contact the Artifact Evaluation Chair Flavio Vella. Important Dates Abstract submission: 7 September 2017 - EXTENDED - FIRM Position or full paper submission: 7 September 2017 - EXTENDED - FIRM Notification of acceptance: 3 October 2017 Camera-ready position and full papers: 10 October 2017 Workshop: 13 November 2017 Submissions Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ia32017 All submissions should be in double-column, single-spaced letter format, with at least one-inch margins on each side and respect the ACM standard proceedings templates (sigconf) available at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

5th Special Session on HPC in Modelling and Simulation - PDP 2018 - Cambridge, UK
by William Spataro 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

(sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS: Fifth Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (HPCMS) Within PDP 2018 The 26th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and Network-Based Computing Cambridge, UK 21-23 March 2018 http://www.pdp2018.org/specialsessions/hpcms.html Deadline: September 15th, 2017 Contact: William Spataro - spataro(a)unical.it ************************************************************************* AIMS AND SCOPE The development of models through which computers can simulate the evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the advancement of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable. Following the success of our past HPCMS workshops which were held in Turin, Turku and Crete, we are glad to invite you to our fourth edition which will take place in St. Petersburg (Russia). An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities, Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field. HPCMS intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications - Complex systems modelling and simulation - Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence implementations - Integrated approach to optimization and simulation - MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science - Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in Computational Science - High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: 15th Sep 2017 Acceptance notification: 13th Oct 2017 Camera ready due: 17nd Nov 2017 Conference: 21th - 23th Mar 2018 Submission guidelines Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt). Double-bind review: the first page of the paper should contain only the title and abstract; in the reference list, references to the authors’ own work should appear as "omitted for blind review" entries. For submission, please use the following link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2018 Manuscript submission Publication All accepted papers will be included in the same volume, published by the Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The Final Paper Preparation and Submission Instructions will be published after the notification of acceptance. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in Xplore and the CSDL, and for indexing, among others, to DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge. Special Issue As for previous editions, organizers of the HPCMS session are planning a Special Issue of an important international ISI Journal, based on distinguished papers that will be accepted for the session. For instance, a selected number of papers of the past workshop editions have been published on the ISI Journal “International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications” and “Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience”.
