ScalA21: 12th Workshop on Latest Advances in
Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the
SC21: The International Conference on High Performance
Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
November 19, 2021, St. Louis, MO, USA
<http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2021>
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key
science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale
systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale
machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale
up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems
require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have
very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and
have no synchronization points. With the advent of Big Data and AI in the
past few years the need of such scalable mathematical methods and algorithms
able to handle data and compute intensive applications at scale becomes even
more important.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be
fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases
with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is
needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous
compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific
algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance.
This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as
co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel
mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and
resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC
systems.
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical
papers at a length of at least 6 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages and not
exceeding 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE

CALL FOR PAPERS
GDE 2021: Workshop on Goal-directed Execution of Answer Set Programs
https://utdallas.edu/~gupta/gde21
=========================================================================
A workshop of 37th International Conference on Logic Programming
September 20-27, 2021
(the event will be virtual)
=========================================================================
Workshop Aim:
*************
Answer set programming is a successful extension of logic programming
for solving combinatorial problems as well as knowledge representation
and reasoning problems. Most current implementations of ASP work by
grounding a program and using a SAT solver-like technology to find the
answer sets. While this approach is extremely efficient, relying on
grounding of the program leads to significant blow-up of the program
size, and computing the whole model makes finding justification of an
atom in the model hard. This limits the applicability of ASP to
problems dealing with large knowledge bases. Goal-directed or
query-driven execution strategies have been proposed that do not
require grounding. The goal of this workshop is to foster discussion
around challenges and opportunities that such approaches present.
Tentative list of topics include:
*********************************
* Non-grounding based implementations of ASP
* Constructive Negation
* Implementation Technology for Goal-directed ASP
* Applications of Goal-directed ASP
* Query-driven Constraint ASP
* System Description
* Tabling in goal-directed ASP Systems
* Coinductive Logic Programming and ASP
Submission Instructions:
************************
Technical papers, position papers, as well as extended abstracts are
welcome. Papers should be maximum 15 pages long and in LNCS Format.
