CFP: Resilient Bio-Inspired Algorithms @ Evostar 2022
by ccottap＠lcc.uma.es 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Resilient Bioinspired Algorithms Special Session of the EvoApps 2022 conference Part of EvoStar 2022 -- http://www.evostar.org/2022/ 20-22 April 2022 Aims and Scope -------------- The Special Session on Resilient Bio-Inspired Algorithms (RBA) of EvoApps will provide a specialized forum of discussion and exchange of information for researchers interested in exploring bio-inspired approaches (swarm intelligence, evolutionary computing) to attain resilient systems and processes. Resiliency is a major topic after major disruptions like COVID-19 where many organizations/systems were too brittle to quickly adapt and they simply broke. Designers of bio-inspired techniques should focus on such systems and help in their design and/or operation, in order to make them more adaptable and capable of withstanding such disruptions. This is for example the case of many organization/industrial processes that work as goal-oriented complex systems, often using AI tools. It is not uncommon that AI-enhanced complex projects face difficulties due to maintenance issues, scalability problems, or disrupted operation in the presence of major external disturbances. Resilience is thus not only a desired property of the system to which AI is applied, but also a sought property for AI methods themselves. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Resilience and fault-tolerance in computational intelligence Resilience on AI engineering using bio-inspired computing Resilience on hyper-automation including evolutionary machine learning, evolutionary machine vision, and evolutionary robotics. Resilience on complex systems Resilience on evolutionary software engineering Real-world situations where robustness and trustworthiness of solutions are mandatory Emerging topics not traditionally discussed within the swarm and evolutionary computation where resiliency is of significant applicability Important Dates --------------- Submision: 1 November 2021 Notification: 8 January 2022 Conference: 20-22 April 2022 Organizers ---------- Carlos Cotta Universidad de Málaga, Spain ccottap(at)lcc.uma.es Gustavo Olague CICESE, Mexico olague(at)cicese.mx

Call for Papers - 1st WORKSHOP ON PARALLEL PROGRAMMING IN THE EXASCALE ERA
by Sanmukh Kuppannagari 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

********************************************************************** We apologize if you received multiple copies of this email. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested ********************************************************************** 1st WORKSHOP ON PARALLEL PROGRAMMING IN THE EXASCALE ERA (PPEE) https://hipc.org/call-for-ppee/ | https://ppee-workshop.github.io/ in conjunction with the 28th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING, DATA, and ANALYTICS (HIPC 2021) December 17-18, 2021 | Virtual Event, INDIA | www.hipc.org OVERVIEW The upcoming exascale systems will impose new requirements on application developers and programming systems to target platforms with hundreds of homogeneous and heterogeneous cores. The four critical challenges for exascale systems are extreme parallelism, power demand, data movement, and reliability. These systems are aimed to solve problems that were previously out of reach and improve the parallel performance of applications by a factor of 50x. The power budget for achieving a billion billion (quintillion) floating-point operations per second (exaflops) should be within 20-30 MW. Moving the data on these systems relative to the computation will be challenging due to complex memory hierarchies. It would be essential to keep the CPUs/accelerators busy once they have the data to avoid memory bottlenecks. Failures on these systems are anticipated to occur many times a day, such that the existing approach for resiliency, such as checkpointing and restart, will not work. TOPICS The goal of this workshop is to attract leading researchers to exchange ideas and share their work-in-progress and latest results to address the exascale software challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * High-level programming models for many-cores / accelerators * Compilation techniques for hybrid CPU/accelerator parallelism * Intra-/Inter-node load balancing and scheduling * Runtime systems for high performance and high productivity * Comparisons of runtime systems and parallel programming models * OS/runtime and system software for many-core systems, accelerators, and non-uniform memory hierarchy * Optimizing data locality and data movement * Energy efficiency and optimizations * Resilience and fault-tolerance * Scalable algorithms * Scalable synchronization mechanisms * Concurrent data structures * Applying machine learning techniques in HPC IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission Deadline: October 24, 2021 (encouraged) Paper Submission Deadline: October 31, 2021 (hard deadline) Paper Notification: November 15, 2021 Presentation Slides Upload Deadline: November 22, 2021 All Deadlines are by 11:59 pm AOE (UTC-12) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers are to be submitted online in PDF format through Easychair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ppee2021. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and must not exceed five (5) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5×11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references. The submitted paper should list the authors and their affiliations. The IEEE conference style templates for MS Word and LaTeX provided by IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing are available for download. See the latest versions here (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file. The accepted papers will be invited for presentation at the workshop. However, these papers will NOT be published in the conference proceedings. This will allow the authors to publish an extended version of their paper at other venues after benefiting from reviewer feedback from the workshop. Papers will be judged on technical merit, quality, and relevance to the workshop. Plagiarism, in any form, especially verbatim reproduction from other published works, is prohibited. Papers that are plagiarized will be rejected, and the corresponding department and institution will be notified. ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE Vivek Kumar, Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi Swarnendu Biswas, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur Vishwesh Jatala, Indian Institute of Technology, Bhilai NOTICE ABOUT COVID-19 We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation globally and in India in particular. The decision whether to hold the conference on-site or virtually will be made before October 2021. Should the conference be held on-site, we understand that travel to India and within India may still be difficult or even impossible for some. Because travel from outside India will require an entry visa and that there may be travel restrictions still in place, we will arrange some form of remote presentation for those authors. We do not have changes to how accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore — every accepted paper will have at least one author who will register at the notified (reduced) registration fee and also present the paper at the conference (virtually/physically).
