Final Reminder of Paper Deadline: PDSEC-20 Workshop (with IPDPS-20)
by Shontz, Suzanne Michelle 27 Jan '20

27 Jan '20

Dear All: This is a final reminder of the January 31 deadline for papers to be submitted to the 21st IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-20). See http://cse.stfx.ca/~pdsec20/ . It will be held on May 22, 2020 in New Orleans in conjunction with IPDPS 2020. Deadline: PDSEC-20 deadline: 31 Jan 2020 (AoE) Scope and Interests: The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an increasing burden placed on application developers due to the management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its associated performance characteristics. Many existing scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parallel and distributed computing community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges in order to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the scientific application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability.

25 Jan '20

[Please accept our apologies for multiple postings.] NEWS: DEADLINE APPROACHING!!! CALL FOR PAPERS ******************************************************************************* GrAPL 2020: Workshop on Graphs, Architectures, Programming, and Learning https://hpc.pnl.gov/grapl/ May 18, 2020 Co-Located with IPDPS 2020 New Orleans Louisiana, USA GrAPL is the result of the combination of two IPDPS workshops: GABB: Graph Algorithms Building Blocks GraML: Workshop on The Intersection of Graph Algorithms and Machine Learning ****************************************************************************** SUMMARY ------- Data analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of computer science. Many real-world analytic workloads are a mix of graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop’s scope is broad and encompasses the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows. This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. In particular, we are interested, but not limited to the following topics: • Provide tractability and performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows; • Discuss the problem domains and problems addressable with graph methods, machine learning methods, or both; • Discuss programming models and associated frameworks such as Pregel, Galois, Boost, GraphBLAS, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs; • Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms; • Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning; Besides regular papers, short papers (up to four pages) describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.

Call for Chapters
by Ivan Mistrik 18 Jan '20

18 Jan '20

*** Call for Chapters *** We invite high-quality chapters for an edited book on KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN DEVELOPMENT OF DATA-INTENSIVE SOFTWARE SYSTEMS A book to be published by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group and edited by: - Ivan Mistrik, Computer Scientist & Software Researcher, Heidelberg, Germany - Matthias Galster, Senior Lecturer in Software Engineering at University of Canterbury, New Zealand - Bruce Maxim, Full Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA - Bedir Tekinerdogan, Full professor and chair of the Information Technology group at Wageningen University in The Netherlands OVERVIEW ------------------ Big data is characterized by the seven V’s: volume (large amounts of data), velocity (continuously processed data in real time), variety (unstructured, semi-structured or structured data in different formats and from multiple and diverse sources), veracity (uncertainty and trustworthiness of data), validity (relevance of data to the problem to solve), volatility (constant change of input data), and value (how data and its analysis adds value). Big data systems are software applications that process and potentially generate big data. Such applications receive and process data from various diverse (usually distributed) sources, such as sensors, devices, whole networks, social networks, mobile devices or devices in an Internet-of-Things. They process high workloads of data and handle high requests for data. The idea is to use large amounts of data strategically and efficiently to provide additional intelligence. This book will explore software engineering of big data systems, including topics related to requirements as well as architecture, detailed design, implementation, maintenance and operations. Software engineering is the application of a systematic approach to designing, operating and maintaining software systems and the study of all the activities involved in achieving the same. The software engineering discipline and research into software systems flourished with the advent of computers and the technological revolution ushered in by the World Wide Web and the Internet. Software systems have grown dramatically to the point of becoming ubiquitous. They have a significant impact on the global economy and on how we interact and communicate with each other and with computers using software in our daily lives. However, there have been major changes in the type of software systems developed over the years. In the past decade owing to breakthrough advancements in cloud and mobile computing technologies, unprecedented volumes of hitherto inaccessible data, referred to as big data, has become available to technology companies and business organizations farsighted and discerning enough to use it to create new products, and services generating astounding profits. This book will focus on several research challenges of software engineering for developing big data systems, in particular by: - surveying the existing software engineering literature on applying software engineering principles into developing and supporting big data systems - identifying the fields of application for big data software systems - investigating the software engineering knowledge areas that have seen research related to big data systems - revealing the gaps in the knowledge areas that require more focus for big data systems development - determining the open research challenges in each software engineering knowledge area that need to be met. BACKGROUND TOPICS All chapters should consider the practical application of the topic through case studies, experiments, empirical validation, or systematic comparisons with other data systems, as well as allow further approaches already in practice. The book intends to discuss systematic and disciplined approaches to building big data systems, dissemination of the state-of-the-art methods and techniques for representing and evaluating these systems. FORMAT ------------------ Chapters are invited that synthesize existing knowledge on relevant background topics and application areas in software engineering of big systems.
