Reminder - CFP: Resilience@Euro-Par 2021 - Papers due June 14 (2nd extension)
by Thomas Naughton 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

14th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience) in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids <https://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2021> in conjunction with the 27th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par), Lisbon, Portugal August 30 - September 3, 2021 <http://2021.euro-par.org> 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.

CFP - Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP 2021)
by Miguel Areias 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PLP 2021: The Eighth Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming http://stoics.org.uk/plp/plp2021 ========================================================================= A workshop of 37th International Conference on Logic Programming September 20-27, 2021 (the event will be virtual) ========================================================================= ** Deadline for submissions: August 1st 2021 Overview ******** Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms. The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability. PLP is part of a wider current interest in probabilistic programming. By promoting probabilities as explicit programming constructs, inference, parameter estimation and learning algorithms can be ran over programs which represent highly structured probability spaces. Due to logic programming's strong theoretical underpinnings, PLP is one of the more disciplined areas of probabilistic programming. It builds upon and benefits from the large body of existing work in logic programming, both in semantics and implementation, but also presents new challenges to the field. PLP reasoning often requires the evaluation of large number of possible states before any answers can be produced thus breaking the sequential search model of traditional logic programs. While PLP has already contributed a number of formalisms, systems and well understood and established results in: parameter estimation, tabling, marginal probabilities and Bayesian learning, many questions remain open in this exciting, expanding field in the intersection of AI, machine learning and statistics. This workshop provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work, in the following areas * probabilistic logic programming formalisms * parameter estimation * statistical inference * implementations * structure learning * reasoning with uncertainty * constraint store approaches * stochastic and randomised algorithms * probabilistic knowledge representation and reasoning * constraints in statistical inference * applications, such as * * bioinformatics * * semantic web * * robotics * probabilistic graphical models * Bayesian learning * tabling for learning and stochastic inference * MCMC * stochastic search * labelled logic programs * integration of statistical software This list is by no means exhaustive. Purpose ******** After seven successful editions of this workshop, the eighth edition of PLP will be held at the ICLP virtual conference organised by the University of Porto. We hope that this encourages further collaboration between researchers in PLP and researchers working in other areas of ICLP. Submissions *********** Submissions will be managed via EasyChair (to be announced). Contributions should be prepared in the LNCS style. A mixture of papers are sought including: new results; work in progress; and technical summaries of recent substantial contributions. Papers presenting new results should be 6-15 pages in length. Work in progress and technical summaries can be shorter (2-5 pages). The workshop proceedings will clearly indicate the type of each paper. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to present the contribution. Publication *********** Informal proceedings will be made available electronically to attendees and submitted to CEUR Workshop Proceedings repository (http://ceur-ws.org/). The proceedings will consist of clearly marked sections corresponding to the different types of submissions accepted. Deadlines ********* Papers due: August 1st, 2021 Notification to authors: September 1st, 2021 Camera ready version due: September 10th, 2021 Workshop date: September 20-27, 2021 (all dates are AoE) Invited Speaker(s) ****************** TBA Programme Committee Chairs ************************** Rafael Penaloza (University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy) Felix Weitkämper (LMU München, Germany) Programme Committee ******************* TBA =========================================================================

CFP - Workshop on Causal Reasoning and Explanation in Logic Programming (CAUSAL 2021)
by Miguel Areias 03 Jun '21

03 Jun '21

========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS CAUSAL 2021: Workshop on Causal Reasoning and Explanation in Logic Programming https://sites.google.com/view/causal2021/ ========================================================================= A workshop of 37th International Conference on Logic Programming September 20-27, 2021 (the event will be virtual) ========================================================================= Important Dates *************** * Paper submission: July 17th 2021 * Notification: July 31st 2021 * Final Versions: August 15th 2021 * Workshop Date: TBA (in September 20-27, 2021) Overview ******** Sophisticated causal reasoning has long been prevalent in human society and continues to have an undeniable impact on the advancement of science, technology, medicine, and other significant fields. From the development of ancient tools to modern roots of causal analysis in business and industry, reasoning about causality and having the ability to explain causal mechanisms enables us to identify how an outcome of interest came to be and gives insight into how to bring about, or even prevent, similar outcomes in future scenarios. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of logic programming with a dedicated focus on methods and trends emerging from the study of causality and explanation. We welcome the submission of papers on systems, tools, and applications of logic programming methods for causal reasoning and explanation. In particular, we encourage submissions presenting recent developments, including works in progress. The workshop will present the latest research and application developments in these areas and provide opportunities to discuss current and future research directions and relationships to other fields (e.g. Machine Learning, Diagnosis, Natural Language Processing and Understanding, Philosophy of Science). An important expected outcome of this workshop is to collect first-hand feedback from the ICLP community about the role and placement of causal reasoning and explanation in the landscape of modern computer theory as well as in the software industry. Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): ***************************************************** * Modeling causal theories in logic programming * Formalization of types of causes: sufficient, necessary, actual, etc * Causality, temporal reasoning and action theories * Causality and counterfactual reasoning * Causality, learning and experimental design * Causality and probability * Causality and equivalence * Causality and ontology * Learning causal relations and information * Novel causal benchmarks * Relating LP based causality and Causal Networks * Challenging problems and benchmark examples * Justifications and argumentation * Explainable AI * Explanations for diagnosis and debugging * Tools, systems and applications Submissions must describe original research and be prepared using the Springer LNAI/LNCS format, available at: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu… The workshop invites submissions of two types: * Full papers not exceeding 13 pages (excluding references) * Extended abstracts not exceeding 3 pages (excluding references) Please submit your paper via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=causal2021 At least one co-author of each accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop.

CFP: 2021 SIGKDD Workshop on Mining and Learning from Time Series [apologies for cross-posting] CFP Webpage: https://kdd-milets.github.io/milets2021/#call* (Deadline: June 1, 2021)* -------------------------------------------------------------- 7th SIGKDD Workshop on Mining and Learning from Time Series (MiLeTS) 2021 Aug 14th, 2021 - KDD Virtual Conference https://kdd-milets.github.io/milets2021/ -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- KEY DATES ---------------- *Paper Submission Deadline: June 1, 2021, 11:59PM Alofi Time*Author Notification: June 28, 2021 Camera Ready Version: July 5, 2021 Workshop: August 14th, 2021 ------------------------------------------------- MiLeTS is the premier KDD workshop on Mining and Learning from Time Series. Time series data are ubiquitous. In domains as diverse as finance, entertainment, transportation, and health care, we observe a fundamental shift away from parsimonious, infrequent measurement to nearly continuous monitoring and recording. Rapid advances in diverse sensing technologies, ranging from remote sensors to wearables and social sensing, are generating rapid growth in the size and complexity of time series archives. Thus, although time series analysis has been studied extensively, its importance only continues to grow. What is more, modern time series data pose significant challenges to existing techniques (e.g., irregular sampling in hospital records and spatiotemporal structure in climate data). Finally, time series mining research is challenging and rewarding because it bridges a variety of disciplines and demands interdisciplinary solutions. Now is the time to discuss the next generation of temporal mining algorithms. The focus of MiLeTS workshop is to synergize the research in this area and discuss both new and open problems in time series analysis and mining. The solutions to these problems may be algorithmic, theoretical, statistical, or systems-based in nature. Further, MiLeTS emphasizes applications to high impact or relatively new domains, including but not limited to biology, health and medicine, climate and weather, road traffic, astronomy, and energy. The MiLeTS workshop will discuss a broad variety of topics related to time series, including: · Time series pattern mining and detection, representation, searching and indexing, classification, clustering, prediction, forecasting, and rule mining. · BIG time series data. · Hardware acceleration techniques using GPUs, FPGAs and special processors. · Online, high-speed learning and mining from streaming time series. · Uncertain time series mining. · Privacy preserving time series mining and learning. · Time series that are multivariate, high-dimensional, heterogeneous, etc., or that possess other atypical properties. · Time series with special structure: spatiotemporal (e.g., wind patterns at different locations), relational (e.g., patients with similar diseases), hierarchical, etc. · Time series with sparse or irregular sampling, non-random missing values, and special types of measurement noise or bias. · Time series analysis using less traditional approaches, such as deep learning and subspace clustering. · Applications to high impact or relatively new time series domains, such as health and medicine, road traffic, and air quality. · New, open, or unsolved problems in time series analysis and mining. ------------------------------ Submission Guidelines ------------------------------ Submissions should follow the SIGKDD formatting requirements and will be evaluated using the SIGKDD Research Track evaluation criteria. Preference will be given to papers that are reproducible, and authors are encouraged to share their data and code publicly whenever possible. Submissions are strongly recommended to be no more than 4 pages, excluding references or supplementary materials (all in a single pdf). The appropriateness of using additional pages over the recommended length will be judged by reviewers. All submissions must be in pdf format using the workshop template (latex, word). Submissions will be managed via the MiLeTS 2021 EasyChair website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=milets2021. *Note on open problem submissions:* To promote new and innovative research on time series, we plan to accept a small number of high-quality manuscripts describing open problems in time series analysis and mining. Such papers should provide a clear, detailed description and analysis of a new or open problem that poses a significant challenge to existing techniques, as well as a thorough empirical investigation demonstrating that current methods are insufficient. *COVID-19 Time Series Analysis Special Track:* The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting almost everyone worldwide and is expected to have life-altering short and long-term effects. There are many potential applications of time series analysis and mining that can contribute to the understanding of this pandemic. We encourage the submission of high-quality manuscripts describing original problems, time-series datasets, and novel solutions for time series analysis and forecasting of COVID-19. The review process is single-round and double-blind (submission files have to be anonymized). Concurrent submissions to other journals and conferences are acceptable. Accepted papers will be presented as posters during the workshop and listed on the website. Besides, a small number of accepted papers will be selected to be presented as contributed talks.
