Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email! ________________________________ ********** WORKS 2018 Workshop ********** Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science Workshop http://works.cs.cardiff.ac.uk/ Sunday 11 November 2018, Dallas, TX. Held in conjunction with SC18, http://sc18.supercomputing.org/ Paper submission deadline: 30 July 2018 ***************************************** Call For Papers Data-intensive workflows (a.k.a. scientific workflows) are routinely used in most scientific disciplines today, especially in the context of high-performance, parallel and distributed computing. They provide a systematic way of describing a complex scientific process and rely on sophisticated workflow management systems to execute on a variety of parallel and distributed resources. With the dramatic increase of raw data volume in every domain, they play an even more critical role to assist scientists in organizing and processing their data and to leverage HPC or HTC resources, being at the interface between end-users and computing infrastructures. This workshop focuses on the many facets of data-intensive 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: data-intensive workflows representation and enactment; designing workflow composition interfaces; workflow mapping techniques to optimize the execution of the workflow for different 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. The topics of the workshop include but are 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 Adaptive workflows Workflow optimizations (including scheduling and energy efficiency) Performance analysis of workflows Workflow debugging Workflow provenance Workflows in constrained environments e.g. IoT, Edge computing, etc. ***************************************** Important Dates Papers due: 30 July 2018 Paper acceptance notification: 9 September 2018 E-copyright registration completed by authors: 1 October 2018 Camera-ready deadline: 1 October 2018 Submitted papers must be at most 10 pages long.

Postdoc Position: Trustable Robotics and Autonomous Systems
by Huascar Espinoza 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Trustable Robotics and Autonomous Systems http://www-instn.cea.fr/en/education-and-training/research-training/post-do… CONTEXT ------- The LSEA (Embedded and Autonomous Systems Design Laboratory) is working on methods, design principles and tools for the engineering of efficient and trustworthy software for embedded and autonomous systems. The laboratory has a recognized expertise in the field of model-based design of safety-critical systems, and has initiated an upstream work for the mastery of advanced technologies of safe self-adaptation and integration of trustworthy autonomy in critical systems. The lab plays an important role in standardization groups like AUTOSAR in the automotive domain as well as in the OMG (Object Management Group) standardization body responsible for the UML, SysML and MARTE standards, and contributes to the Eclipse open source model-based development platform Papyrus (www.eclipse.org/papyrus) Lab members are strongly involved in various industrial projects as well as collaborative French and European research projects for the development of model-based approaches for the design of autonomous real-time systems for robotics, automotive, railway, aerospace and smart energy systems. WORK DESCRIPTION ---------------- The complexity of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) can only be managed with well-designed software architectures and integrated tool chains that support the entire development process. Model-driven engineering (MDE) is an approach that allows RAS developers to shift their focus from implementation to the domain knowledge space and to promote efficiency, flexibility and separation of concerns for different development stakeholders. One key goal of MDE approaches is to be integrated with available development infrastructures from the RAS community, such as ROS middleware, OROCOS for real-time control, OpenCV for computer vision, or Gazebo for simulation. These RAS platforms embrace communities of hundreds of stakeholders, which need to be preserved and strengthened. However, these communities are still rather fragmented, by representing specific technologies. To strengthen these platforms, to enable interconnections between them, and also between new ones e.g. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technologies, CEA envisions a model-driven approach built on top of the current code-centric platforms. To do so, the H2020 RobMoSys project (www.robmosys.eu) coordinated by CEA, is establishing the first EU Digital Industrial Platform for Model-Driven Development of Robotics Systems. To address the robotics domain according to the RobMoSys methodology and structures, a set of CEA tools are being collected under the Papyrus4Robotics [1] [2] [3] umbrella. This project is strategic for the LSEA laboratory and the DILS department. The goal of this post-doc is to investigate and develop modular/compositional and predictable software architectures and interoperable design tools based on model-based (instead of code-centric) approaches. The work must be performed in the context of the RobMoSys project and other initiatives on assurance of robotics and autonomous systems. The main industrial goal is to simplify the effort of RAS engineers and thus allowing the development of more advanced, more complex autonomous systems at an affordable cost. In order to do so, the postdoctoral fellow will contribute to set-up and consolidate a vibrant ecosystem, tool-chain and community that will provide a unified model-based design, simulation, safety assessment and formal validation and verification environment. PROFILE ------- You did a PhD in the area of Software-intensive Systems Engineering not longer than two years ago. You have knowledge and expertise in developing tools for engineering embedded systems in any safety-critical industrial sector (e.g., energy, transport, health, or manufacturing). You are familiar with design methods, tools and middleware for the modelling, deployment, simulation of robotics software systems.

13 Jun '18

********** WORKS 2018 Workshop ********** Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science Workshop http://works.cs.cardiff.ac.uk/ Sunday 11 November 2018, Dallas, TX. Held in conjunction with SC18, http://sc18.supercomputing.org/ Paper submission deadline: 30 July 2018 ***************************************** Call For Papers Data-intensive workflows (a.k.a. scientific workflows) are routinely used in most scientific disciplines today, especially in the context of high-performance, parallel and distributed computing. They provide a systematic way of describing a complex scientific process and rely on sophisticated workflow management systems to execute on a variety of parallel and distributed resources. With the dramatic increase of raw data volume in every domain, they play an even more critical role to assist scientists in organizing and processing their data and to leverage HPC or HTC resources, being at the interface between end-users and computing infrastructures. This workshop focuses on the many facets of data-intensive 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: data-intensive workflows representation and enactment; designing workflow composition interfaces; workflow mapping techniques to optimize the execution of the workflow for different 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. The topics of the workshop include but are 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 Adaptive workflows Workflow optimizations (including scheduling and energy efficiency) Performance analysis of workflows Workflow debugging Workflow provenance Workflows in constrained environments e.g. IoT, Edge computing, etc. ***************************************** Important Dates Papers due: 30 July 2018 Paper acceptance notification: 9 September 2018 E-copyright registration completed by authors: 1 October 2018 Camera-ready deadline: 1 October 2018 Submitted papers must be at most 10 pages long.
