# About iWAPT
iWAPT (International Workshop on Automatic Performance Tuning) is a series of workshops that focus on research and techniques that address performance sustainability issues. It provides an opportunity for researchers and users of automatic performance tuning (AT) technologies to exchange ideas and experiences while applying such technologies to improve the performance of algorithms, libraries, and applications; in particular, on cutting edge computing platforms. The full-day workshops consist of invited keynote speaker presentations and 30-minute presentations of well-founded papers. Occasionally, exploratory papers are also accepted. Topics of interest include performance modeling, adaptive algorithms, autotuned numerical algorithms, libraries and scientific applications, empirical compilation, automated code generation, frameworks and theories of AT and software optimization, autonomic computing, and context-aware computing.
We are particularly interested in autotuning and its relationship to the
following areas (the list is not exhaustive):
* Machine-adaptive algorithms and software
* Program generation
* Performance analysis and modeling
* Parallel and distributed computing
* Numerical algorithms and libraries
* Multi- and manycore systems, heterogeneous architectures
* Compilation, e.g., iterative and empirical compilers
* Programming models
* Runtime systems
* Empirical search heuristics
* Power- and/or energy-aware computing

Dear Colleague,
please note that the paper submission deadline has been extended until
January 31st, 2017.
IEEE COMPSAC 2017
www.compsac.org
Where: Turin, Italy. July 4–8, 2017
Paper submission deadline: January 31st, 2017
IEEE COMPSAC offers opportunities for recommending best papers for
inclusions in IEEE publications
(https://www.computer.org/web/compsac2017/journal-publication-opportunities
for more details).
=======================================
IEEE COMPSAC 2017
=======================================
COMPSAC (www.compsac.org) is the IEEE Computer Society Signature
Conference on Computers, Software, and Applications. It is a major
international forum for academia, industry, and government to discuss
research results and advancements, emerging problems, and future trends
in computer and software technologies and applications. The technical
program includes keynote addresses, research papers, industrial case
studies, plenary and specialized panels, fast abstracts, a doctoral
symposium, poster sessions, and a number of workshops and tutorials on
emerging and important topics. The theme of the 41st COMPSAC is Building
Digital Autonomy for a Sustainable World.
COMPSAC 2017 Symposia are as follows:
CELT: Computer Education & Learning Technologies
CAP: Computer Architecture & Platforms
DSAT: Data Sciences, Analytics, & Technologies
EATA: Emerging Advances in Technology & Applications
HCSC: Human Computing & Social Computing
ITiP: IT in Practice
MOWU: Mobile, Wearable, & Ubiquitous Computing
NCIW: Networks, Communications, Internet, & Web Technologies
SEPT: Security, Privacy, & Trust
SETA: Software Engineering Technology & Applications
Sessions will include topics and issues related to adaptive
learning and teaching, autonomous computing, wearable computing, the
internet-of-things, social networking, cross-domain data fusion,
privacy, security and surveillance, cloud computing, big data,
physiological computing, self-aware and self-expressive systems, and
emerging architectures and network issues that affect all these
developing technology-driven innovations.
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research
work, as well as industrial practice reports. COMPSAC offer publication
opportunities in IEEE journals following the "Conference First / Journal
Second (C1J2)" and "Journal First / Conference Second (J1C2)" Schemes
(https://www.computer.org/web/compsac2017/journal-publication-opportunities).
=======================================
JOURNAL PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITIES
=======================================
COMPSAC is offering opportunities to recommend our best papers for
inclusion in IEEE publications, and to encourage presentation of already
published journal papers during the conference. These schemes, to be
executed at the discretion of individual COMPSAC symposia and workshops
chairs, are as follows:
COMPSAC "Conference First / Journal Second (C1J2)" Scheme:
Chairs may offer the authors of accepted papers opportunity for
publication in an IEEE journal. In this C1J2 Scheme, a chair initiates
the process to offer the paper(s), together with their COMPSAC reviews,
for publication in an IEEE journal to the journal editor-in-chief (EIC).
EICs may or may not use our reviews at their discretion, but may instead
prefer to rely solely on their own reviewer communities. Such papers
accepted by a journal for publication will appear in the COMPSAC
proceeding as only an abstract accompanied by a note that the paper has
been submitted to the journal for consideration for publication in that
journal. If the paper is accepted for publication, a link to it will be
provided in the conference proceedings, thus providing conference
participants access to that paper. The paper will still be registered
for COMPSAC and must as well be presented during the conference. If
such a paper is not accepted by the journal, the paper will be later
included in the conference electronic proceedings.
COMPSAC "Journal First / Conference Second (J1C2)" Scheme:
Similar to the above mentioned scheme, but taking place in the reverse
order is the J1C2 scheme – journal publication first, conference
presentation to follow. A published work in an IEEE journal, say within
couple of years, or even accepted but not yet published, may be
submitted to and presented at COMPSAC. If accepted, the conference
proceedings will contain an abridged abstract and a link to the
published version, thus conference participants may have access to that
paper. This scheme benefits authors by presenting their work to a wider
audience in person, discussion, networking with peers, and driving
renewed interest to their work. The process is as follows: the author
offers a paper by proposing it as a full-text manuscript submission to a
symposium or a workshop; the paper is then lightly reviewed for
suitability, scope, technical content and merit by the PC of the
symposium/workshop; finally, the PC Chair(s) proposes a notification
decision. The author then registers the paper and presents it during the
conference at the time identified in the program.

Environmental computing applications - state of the art
ECA 2017 ICCS 2017 workshop
Jun 12, 2016 - Jun 14, 2017 Zurich, Switzerland
http://envcomp.eu/ICCS17/
There are several domain- or problem-specific areas – such as meteorology
or seismic analysis – that use multi-model and multi-data approaches to
analyse environmental phenomena and their impact. However, a more general
approach to produce actionable knowledge from different environmental data
sources is needed.
The workshop is intended to bring together practitioners, policymakers,
environmental modelling experts to present the latest developments in
Environmental Computing. The submitted papers can be case studies or
present new approaches to environmental computing systems, including (but
not limited to) multi-model and multi-data frameworks (including metadata
approaches), scalability of the systems, socioeconomic impact of
environmental computing, data and model semantics and visualisation.
The topics of interest include:
* Case studies
* Environmental modelling techniques (and optimisation of them)
* Multi-model systems
* Civil protection (and related engineering challenges)
* Scalability of environmental HPC and Big Data applications
* Risk assessment and management
* Interdisciplinary collaboration
* Dynamic model coupling approaches
* Interdisciplinary metadata frameworks
* Visualisation
Submission
Contributions should be submitted via the ICCS 2017 easychair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccs2017 - select “Environmental
Computing Applications – State of the Art” in the first menu). For more

ABOUT SBP-BRiMS:
SBP-BRiMS is a multidisciplinary conference with a selective single paper
track and poster session. The conference also invites a small number of
high quality tutorials and nationally recognized keynote speakers. The
conference has grown out of two related meetings: SBP and BRiMS, which
were co-located in previous years.
Social computing harnesses the power of computational methods to study
social behavior, such as during team collaboration. Cultural behavioral
modeling refers to representing behavior and culture in the abstract, and is
a convenient and powerful way to conduct virtual experiments and
scenario analysis. Both social computing and cultural behavioral modeling
are techniques designed to achieve a better understanding of complex
behaviors, patterns, and associated outcomes of interest. Moreover, these
approaches are inherently interdisciplinary; subsystems and system
components exist at multiple levels of analysis (i.e., “cells to societies”)
and across multiple disciplines, from engineering and the computational
sciences to the social and health sciences.
The SBP-BRiMS conference invites modeling and simulation papers from
academics, research scientists, technical communities and defense
researchers across traditional disciplines to share ideas, discuss research
results, identify capability gaps, highlight promising technologies, and
showcase the state-of-the-art in applications in the areas of cultural
behavioral modeling, prediction, and social computing.
Please see the SBP-BRiMS17 website for more details. Keynotes and
tutorials delivered in the previous SBP and BRiMS meetings are available
through the websites http://sbp-brims.org and
http://cc.ist.psu.edu/BRIMS2015/ .

PRE-CONFERENCE TUTORIAL SESSIONS:
Several half-day sessions will be offered on the day before the full
conference. Sessions will be designed to meet the needs of one of two
distinct groups. One group will consist of attendees who have backgrounds
in computational science; computer science, engineering, and other
mathematically oriented disciplines. Other tutorial sessions will be
designed for behavioral and social scientists and others (e.g. those with
medical backgrounds or training in public health) who may have limited
formal education in the computational sciences. Attendees will gain an
understanding of terminology, theories, and general approaches employed
by computationally based fields, especially with respect to modeling
approaches.
Tutorial proposal submission:
Tutorial proposals should be submitted online to
sbpbrims(a)andrew.cmu.edu.
At minimum, each proposal must contain the following information:
* Title of the tutorial.
* Description of the tutorial topic and structure.
* Expected audience (including the expected backgrounds of the
attendees).
* Short bio and contact information of the organizers.
More details regarding the pre-conference tutorial sessions, including
instructors, course content, and registration information will be posted to
the conference website (SBP-BRiMS.org) as soon as this information
becomes available. For further information, please contact
sbpbrims(a)andrew.cmu.edu.
CHALLENGE:
The conference expects to announce a computational challenge as in
previous years.
Additional details will be posted on the conference website.
FUNDING PANEL & CROSS-FERTILIZATION ROUNDTABLES:
Previous SBP-BRiMS conferences have included a Cross-fertilization
Roundtable session or a Funding Panel. The purpose of the cross-
fertilization roundtables is to help participants become better acquainted

research communities from European countries and the rest of the world.
The ADBIS conferences provide an international platform for the presentation
of research on database theory, development of advanced DBMS
technologies, and their advanced applications.
The conference will consist of regular sessions with technical contributions
(regular papers, short papers) reviewed and selected by an international
program committee, as well as of invited talks and tutorials presented by
leading scientists. The official language of the conference will be English. A
Doctoral Consortium and different Workshops will be held in line with the
main conference.
