by JOSE DANIEL GARCIA SANCHEZ 08 May '17

08 May '17

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email] ________________________________________________________________________ *The 3rd International Workshop on Reengineering for Parallelism in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms (REPARA 2017)* https://www.arcos.inf.uc3m.es/repara2017/ Held in conjunction with the International Conference of Parallel Computing (ParCo 2017) http://www.hpc.cineca.it/content/parco-2017 Bologna, Italy September, 12-15, 2017 ATTENTION: New Dates =================================== Submission deadline: June, 30, 2017 Notifications: July, 28, 2017 Abstract =================================== In recent years, traditional processors have not been able to directly translate chip fabrication technology advances intro performance gains. To keep satisfying the demand for computing power, there is a shift from homogeneous machines to heterogeneous architectures combining different kinds of processors (CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, and other accelerators). While this approach has allowed significant performance and energy efficiency benefits, heterogeneous systems are often highly difficult to program with existing tools. To reduce the cost of system development, reengineering techniques emerge as a solution which may help to balance ease-of-development with better performance, better reliability, and lower maintenance costs. The RePara2017 workshop it aims to join experts from related disciplines to share recent advances in different areas contributing to better transformation of new and legacy applications to different programming models for diverse computing devices in the context of parallel heterogeneous architectures. Scope and Interest =================================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + High-level parallel programming models, libraries and languages for Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Compiler support for Heterogeneous Parallel Systems. + Description languages for Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Parallel patterns for Heterogeneous Platforms. + Autonomic management of Power/Performance trade-offs. + Automated kernel identification and assessment. + Software refactoring approaches for parallel programming models. + Transformations from source code to reconfigurable hardware. + Integration of FPGA accelerators into refactored software. + Runtimes for software coordination and task mapping in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Scheduling for Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Performance modeling and prediction in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Energy efficiency monitoring and prediction in Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms. + Software quality assessment in parallel programming models with special attention to maintainability. + Applying partitioning and mapping for parallel Heterogeneous computing architectures. + Application experiences of refactoring to software in industrial domains. Workshop publication =================================== Accepted paper will be published in the proceedings of the ParCo 2017 Conference. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the proceedings book prior to its publication. Journal Publication =================================== Extended version of selected papers from the workshop will be invited by the RePara2017 program committee for publication, after further revision, in an special issue of an International Journal (to be announced). Submission Instructions =================================== Papers submitted to the workshop should be written in English conforming to the IOS Press Book format (see templates at IOS Press site at http://www.iospress.nl/service/authors/latex-and-word- tools-for-book-authors/). The paper should be submitted through the workshop submission system at EasyChair (https://easychair.org/confere nces/?conf=repara2017). The length of the papers should not exceed 10 pages.

04 May '17

GraMSec 2017 - call for papers The Fourth International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security Santa Barbara, CA, USA - August 21, 2017 http://gramsec.uni.lu Co-located with CSF 2017 LNCS proceedings confirmed SCOPE Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic approach to analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate potential protection measures. Cyber security researchers, as well as security professionals from industry and government, have proposed various graphical security modeling schemes. Such models are used to capture different security facets (digital, physical, and social) and address a range of challenges including vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, defense analysis, automated defensing, secure services composition, policy validation and verification. The objective of the GraMSec workshop is to contribute to the development of well-founded graphical security models, efficient algorithms for their analysis, as well as methodologies for their practical usage. TOPICS The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: • Graphical models for threat modeling and analysis • Graphical models for risk analysis and management • Graphical models for requirements analysis and management • Textual and graphical representation for system, organizational, and business security • Visual security modeling and analysis of socio-technical and cyber-physical systems • Graphical security modeling for cyber situational awareness • Graphical models supporting the security by design paradigm • Methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of graphical security models • Formal semantics and verification of graphical security models • Methods for (semi-)automatic generation of graphical security models • Enhancement and/or optimization of existing graphical security models • Scalable evaluation of graphical security models • Evaluation algorithms for graphical security models • Dynamic update of graphical security models • Game theoretical approaches to graphical security modeling • Attack trees, attack graphs and their variants • Stochastic Petri nets, Markov chains, and Bayesian networks for security • UML-based models and other graphical modeling approaches for security • Software tools for graphical security modeling and analysis • Case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical security modeling paradigm INVITED SPEAKER To be decided. PAPER SUBMISSION We solicit two types of submissions: • Regular papers (up to 15 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work within the scope of the workshop. • Short papers (up to 7 pages, excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices) describing original and unpublished work in progress. The reviewers are not required to read the appendices, so the papers should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be prepared using the LNCS style: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. All accepted (regular and short) papers will be included in the workshop's post-proceedings. The GraMSec 2017 post-proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series of Springer. Submissions should be made using the GraMSec 2017 EasyChair web site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec17 IMPORTANT DATES • Submission deadline: Sunday, May 21, 2017 • Acceptance notification: Friday, July 7, 2017 • Workshop: Monday, August 21, 2017 GENERAL CHAIR • Sjouke Mauw, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg PROGRAM CHAIRS • Peng Liu, Pennsylvania State University, USA • Ketil Stølen, SINTEF Digital and University of Oslo, Norway PC MEMBERS Mathieu Acher, University Rennes 1, Inria, France Massimiliano Albanese, George Mason University, USA Ludovic Apvrille, Télécom ParisTech, France Thomas Bauereiss, DFKI, Germany Kristian Beckers, Technical University of Munich, Germany Giampaolo Bella, University of Catania, Italy Stefano Bistarelli, Università di Perugia, Italy Marc Bouissou, EDF RD, France Frédéric Cuppens, Télécom Bretagne, France Nora Cuppens-Boulahia, Télécom Bretagne, France Binbin Chen, Advanced Digital Sciences Center, Singapore Hervé Debar, Télécom SudParis, France Harley Eades, Augusta University, USA Mathias Ekstedt, KTH - Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Ulrik Franke, Swedish Institute of Computer Science - SICS, Sweden Frank Fransen, TNO, The Netherlands Olga Gadyatskaya, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Paolo Giorgini, University of Trento, Italy Dieter Gollmann, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany Joshua Guttman, WPI and MITRE, USA René Rydhof Hansen, Aalborg University, Denmark Maritta Heisel, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany Hannes Holm, Swedish Defence Research Agency, Sweden Siv Hilde Houmb, Secure-NOK AS, Norway Sushil Jajodia, George Mason University, USA Ravi Jhawar, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Henk Jonkers, BiZZdesign, The Netherlands Cristian Johansen, University of Oslo, Norway Florian Kammueller, Middlesex University London, UK Nima Khakzad, TU Delft, The Netherlands Dong Seong Kim, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Barbara Kordy, INSA Rennes, IRISA, France Pascal Lafourcade, Université Clermont Auvergne, LIMOS, France Jean-Louis Lanet, Inria, France Per Håkon Meland, SINTEF Digital, Norway Jogesh Muppala, HKUST, Hong Kong, SAR China Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, Linköping University, Sweden Andreas L.
