Open PhD student position at KIT
by Kondov, Ivan (SCC) 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Dear all, We are inviting applicants for the following open position (see below). With my best regards, Ivan Kondov PhD Student Position (3 years 75% salary level E13) Enhancing e-mobility with artificial intelligence and uncertainty quantification Courses: Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics Topic The ability to quickly charge car batteries plays a key role in the acceptance of e-mobility. Furthermore, besides fulfilling all of the driver’s requirements, batteries should retain long life times. These challenges in e-mobility are tackled by the battery management system (BMS). To satisfactory meet all requirements, the BMS needs detailed information on battery function. Since this information is limited during operation, the BMS currently works with high safety margins that can significantly reduce battery performance. The plan of this project is to apply machine learning to the battery cells as well as the BMS to achieve an intelligent, individualized cell management that at any point uses each cell at its optimum performance based on extensive lifetime data. Initial training of an AI on a particular battery design is done in the lab using advanced equipment, collecting as much data as possible for subsequent retraining and optimization. In a second step, the BMS AI shall be implemented on simple hardware, where sufficient data is collected and stored such that the AI can be continuously improved individually for each battery cell. One key task of this thesis is to set up a model of the battery by using Gaussian Process Regression. This model (or digital twin) is used by the AI BMS. While providing efficient insight into the dynamics of the battery cell, Gaussian Process Regression enables the use of uncertainty quantification, which is then employed to obtain a more sophisticated idea of the dynamics of the developed model. In order to quantify how the cell behavior is affected by uncertainties, efficient uncertainty propagation models have to be developed and applied to the digital twin. Requirements Knowledge or experience in at least one of these methodological fields will be an advantage for the candidate: machine learning, artificial intelligence, or uncertainty quantification. Partners This project is one of 19 AI pilot projects of the Helmholtz Association. It is a joint project of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, TU München and Forschungszentrum Jülich, and the PhD student will closely collaborate with both partners.

[CFP] 15th Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science (WORKS20)
by Hoang Nguyen 11 Jun '20

11 Jun '20

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email!!! ======================================================================== Call For Papers 15th Workshop on Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science (WORKS20) to be held in conjunction with SC 2020 and in cooperation with IEEE TCHPC Sun Nov 15, Atlanta, GA, USA https://works-workshop.org ======================================================================== Scientific workflows have been almost universally used across scientific domains and have underpinned some of the most significant discoveries of the past several decades. Workflow management systems (WMSs) provide abstraction and automation which enable a broad range of researchers to easily define sophisticated computational processes and to then execute them efficiently on parallel and distributed computing systems. As workflows have been adopted by a number of scientific communities, they are becoming more complex and require more sophisticated workflow management capabilities. A workflow now can analyze terabyte-scale data sets, be composed of one million individual tasks, require coordination between heterogeneous tasks, manage tasks that execute for milliseconds to hours, and can process data streams, files, and data placed in object stores. The computations can be single core workloads, loosely coupled computations, or tightly all within a single workflow, and can run in dispersed computing platforms. This workshop focuses on the many facets of scientific workflow management systems, ranging from actual execution to service management and the coordination and optimization of data, service, and job dependencies. The workshop covers a broad range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that include: scientific workflows representation and enactment; workflow scheduling techniques to optimize the execution of the workflow on heterogeneous infrastructures; workflow enactment engines that need to deal with failures in the application and execution environment; and a number of computer science problems related to scientific workflows such as semantic technologies, compiler methods, scheduling and fault detection and tolerance. WORKS20 will be held in conjunction with the SuperComputing (SC20), Atlanta, Georgia, USA, at Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC). Topics ------ WORKS20 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but not limited to: * Big Data analytics workflows * Data-driven workflow processing (including stream-based workflows) * Workflow composition, tools, and languages * Workflow execution in distributed environments (including HPC, clouds, and grids) * Reproducible computational research using workflows * Dynamic data dependent workflow systems solutions * Exascale computing with workflows * In Situ Data Analytics Workflows * Interactive workflows (including workflow steering) * Workflow fault-tolerance and recovery techniques * Workflow user environments, including portals * Workflow applications and their requirements * Workflow optimizations (including scheduling and energy efficiency) * Performance analysis of workflows * Workflow debugging * Workflow provenance * Machine Learning workflows Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. Important Dates --------------- Full paper deadline: August 15, 2020 Paper acceptance notification: September 15, 2020 E-copyright registration completed by authors: October 1, 2020 Camera-ready deadline: October 1, 2020 Workshop: November 15, 2020 --------------------------------- Submission Guidelines: Submissions are limited to 8 pages in the IEEE format (see https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).

CFP: Resilience@Euro-Par 2020 - Papers due June 12 (REMINDER)
by Thomas Naughton 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience) in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids <https://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2020> in conjunction with the 26th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par), Warsaw, Poland August 24 - 28, 2020 <http://2020.euro-par.org> 2020 Workshop Format: Due to the exceptional situation of COVID-19, this year Euro-Par and its workshops will be organized as an all-virtual event. This includes the main conference and workshops. The accepted workshop papers must be presented by one of the authors in order to be included in the proceedings. There will be a single minimal registration fee for each accepted paper in order to cover expenses associated with organization and proceedings publication. Only one author per paper needs to register (150 euros). Lastly, the preferred presentation format for the workshop will be via a streaming presentation, with slides and pre-recorded video presentations used in exceptional situations. Overview: Resilience is a critical challenge as high performance computing (HPC) systems continue to increase component counts, individual component reliability decreases (such as due to shrinking process technology and near-threshold voltage (NTV) operation), hardware complexity increases (such as due to heterogeneous computing) and software complexity increases (such as due to complex data- and workflows, real-time requirements and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with traditional applications). Correctness and execution efficiency, in spite of faults, errors, and failures, is essential to ensure the success of the HPC systems, cluster computing environments, Grid computing infrastructures, and Cloud computing services. The impact of faults, errors, and failures in such HPC systems can range from financial losses due to system downtime (sometimes several tens-of-thousands of Dollars per lost system-hour), to financial losses due to unnecessary overprovision (acquisition and operating costs), to financial losses and legal liabilities due to erroneous or delayed output. The emergence of AI technology opens up new possibilities, but also new problems. Using AI technology for operational intelligence that enables resilience in HPC systems and centers is a complex control problem, while designing resilient AI technology for HPC applications is a difficult algorithmic problem. Resilience for HPC systems encompasses a wide spectrum of fundamental and applied research and development, including theoretical foundations, error/failure and anomaly detection, monitoring and control, end-to-end data integrity, enabling infrastructure, and resilient algorithms. This workshop brings together experts in the community to further research and development in HPC resilience and to facilitate exchanges across the computational paradigms of extreme-scale HPC, cluster computing, Grid computing, and Cloud computing. Submission Guidelines: Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in English in PDF format. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and BETWEEN 10 AND 12 PAGES, including figures, tables and references, using Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format at <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>. Papers with less than 10 or more than 12 pages will not be accepted due to publisher guidelines. Submissions should include abstract, key words and the e-mail address of the corresponding author. Papers not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. The proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS as post-conference proceedings. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop for inclusion in the proceedings. Authors may contact the workshop program chairs for more information.
