[DEADLINE EXTENDED] The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018)
by Massimo Cafaro 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/ CALL FOR PAPERS As part of The 18th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2018), http://www.iccsa.org July 2 - 5 2018, Melbourne, Australia Submission Deadline: March 8, 2018 SPECIAL ISSUE Selected extended versions of workshop papers will be invited to a Special Issue to appear in the Algorithms journal (see http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…) SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.

Handbook of Vascular Biometrics: Call for Chapters
by Andreas Uhl 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

================================================================= Handbook of Vascular Biometrics (1st edition) - Call for Chapters ================================================================= Editors Andreas Uhl, Christoph Busch, Sébastien Marcel and Raymond Veldhuis Biometrics is a tremendously active research field including developments in sensing technology, signal and image processing, information security, and applied machine learning, and strong links with other research areas such as forensic science, human-computer interaction, and systems engineering. In the last decade, and especially in the last few years, vascular biometrics have become established as important biometrics modalities. This Handbook provides the first comprehensive presentation of the state-of-the-art in biometrics exploiting the outlay of human blood vessels for biometric recognition, i.e. vascular biometrics, including finger vein recognition, hand/palm vein recognition, retina recognition, and sclera recognition. After an introductory chapter composed by one of the editors which will summarize the state of the art and availability of commercial systems and open datasets / open source software, individual chapters will be dedicated to specific aspects of one of the considered biometric modalities including questions of usability, security, and privacy. Besides chapters of purely academic nature, the handbook will contain chapters contributed by major industrial manufacturers. This first Edition of the Handbook of Vascular Biometrics is now planned for publication in the Springer Advances in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition series in 2019. The editorial team is soliciting chapter contributions from members of the biometrics, pattern recognition and machine learning research communities. Contributions from other communities which cover aspects strongly related to vascular biometrics are also welcome, e.g., information security, human-computer interaction, and systems engineering. Targeted contents include: • Fingervein, Handvein, Retina, and Sclera-based Recognition Systems • Less established vascular recognition schemes • Sensor-related developments in these areas • Security- and Privacy issues in these areas, e.g. template protection schemes, presentation attack detection • Release of new public datasets and corresponding results • Robustness and usability aspects Originality =========== Chapter contributions are expected to present novel content as compared to earlier published work (a percentage of 25-30% novel content as compared to earlier published work is expected). Reports of significant real-world applications of vascular biometric systems are also welcome. Reproducible Research - Standard Compliance =========================================== The Handbook of Vascular Biometrics will have a focus on reproducible research (RR). All contributions are required to meet the following conditions: • experiments should relate to publicly available datasets as a first requirement for RR; • system scores generated with proposed methods should be openly available as a second requirement for RR. Additionally, the sharing of plots or performance figures should align with the international standard ISO/IEC 19795-1. Moreover open source code of the proposed methods and detailed instructions to reproduce the experiments is strongly encouraged. We are seeking a harmonized appearance of all chapters and thus invite authors to align their manuscripts with the Harmonized Biometric Vocabulary, as published in the international standard ISO/IEC 2382-37: http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/c066693_ISO_IEC_23… Timeline ======== • Expression of Interest from Authors (chapter title, abstract and organisation): 2018-02-15 • Selection of chapters: 2018-03-15 • Commitment from Authors: 2018-04-15 • Deadline for authors: 2018-06-30 • Review: Jul - Oct 2018 • Response to Authors: 2018-11-01 • Final Manuscript Author Deadline: 2018-12-31 • Final manuscript to Springer: 2018-01-31 Prospective authors should express their interest by Feb 15th 2018 with a concise chapter proposal (title, authors, abstract, organisation, previous publications in the field, description of the nature and extent of original contribution compared to earlier work and action towards reproducible research if applicable) to the editorial team: Andreas Uhl - Paris Lodron University of Salzburg (AT) -- <uhl(a)cosy.sbg.ac.at> Christoph Busch - Norwegian University of Science and Technology (N) -- <christoph.busch(a)ntnu.no> Sébastien Marcel - Idiap Research Institute (CH) -- <marcel(a)idiap.ch> Raymond Veldhuis - University of Twente (NL) -- <r.n.j.veldhuis(a)utwente.nl> -- --------------------------------------------------------------- | Andreas Uhl | Salzburg University | | ++43 662 8044 6303 | Department of Computer Sciences | | uhl(a)cosy.sbg.ac.at | Jakob-Haringerstr.2 | | www.wavelab.at | 5020 Salzburg Austria Europe | ---------------------------------------------------------------
