Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) is nowadays omnipresent. It is in all
the computational environments, from mobile devices, laptops and desktops to
clusters, large-scale data centers and supercomputers, often comprising CPUs
and/or coprocessors of different types (GPU, MIC, FPGA). It becomes now vital
to train new generations of scientists and engineers in the use of these
computational systems: parallelism-related topics must be incorporated in
Computer Science (CS) and Computer Engineering (CE) programs.
In this context, the 3rd European Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
Computing Education for Undergraduate Students (Euro-EDUPAR) invites
unpublished manuscripts from individuals or teams from academia, industry, and
other educational and/or research institutes on topics pertaining to the
teaching of PDC topics in the Computer Science and Engineering curriculum as
well as in Computational Science with PDC and/or High Performance Computing
(HPC) concepts, with emphasis on European undergraduate teaching.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) teaching in the European space
2. Pedagogical issues in PDC, educational methods and learning mechanisms
3. Novel ways of teaching PDC topics, including informal learning environments
4. Curriculum design, models for incorporating PDC topics in core CS/CE curriculum
5. Experience with incorporating PDC topics into core CS/CE courses
6. Experience with incorporating PDC topics in the context of other applications learning
7. Pedagogical tools, programming environments, and languages for PDC
8. e-Learning, e-Laboratory, online courses related to PDC
9. PDC teaching experiences at non-university levels: secondary school, industry, etc
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The submissions will follow the Euro-Par guidelines, in PDF format, and should
not exceed 12 pages in the Springer LNCS style, which can be downloaded from
the Springer Web site. Paper submission is handled electronically (EasyChair).
The 12-page limit is comprehensive (text, figures, references). Complete LaTeX
sources must be provided for accepted papers. Short papers and work-in-progress
papers can be submitted and presented at the workshop, but they will not be
eligible for the post-conference proceedings. Submissions will be reviewed by
at least 3 members of the Program Committee and will be assessed according to
impact at European level, the novelty of contributions, impact on broader
undergraduate curriculum, relevance to the goals of the workshop, results and
methodology.
The workshop proceedings will be published in a LNCS Euro-Par 2017 Workshops
volume after the conference. Only full papers between 10 and 12 pages presented

10th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience)
in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids
<http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2017 <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2017>>
in conjunction with
the 23rd International European Conference on …
[View More]Parallel and Distributed
Computing (Euro-Par), Santiago de Compostela, Spain,
August 28 - September 1, 2017
<http://europar2017.usc.es <http://europar2017.usc.es/>>
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), and software complexity increases.
Application correctness and execution efficiency, in spite of frequent
faults, errors, and failures, is essential to ensure the success of the
extreme-scale HPC systems, cluster computing environments, Grid computing
infrastructures, and Cloud computing services.
While a fault (e.g., a bug or stuck bit) is the cause of an error, its
manifestation as a state change is considered an error (e.g., a bad value
or incorrect execution), and the transition to an incorrect service is
observed as a failure (e.g., an application abort or system crash). A
failure in a computing system is typically observed through an application
abort or a full/partial service or system outage. A detectable correctable
error is often transparently handled by hardware, such as a single bit flip
in memory that is protected with single-error correction double-error
detection (SECDED) error correcting code (ECC). A detectable uncorrectable
error (DUE) typically results in a failure, such as multiple bit flips in
the same addressable word that escape SECDED ECC correction, but not
detection, and ultimately cause an application abort. An undetectable error
(UE) may result in silent data corruption (SDC), e.g., an incorrect
application output. There are many other types of hardware and software
faults, errors, and failures in computing systems.
Resilience for HPC systems encompasses a wide spectrum of fundamental and
applied research and development, including theoretical foundations, fault
detection and prediction, monitoring and control, end-to-end data integrity,
enabling infrastructure, and resilient solvers and algorithm-based fault
tolerance. 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.

*IWOMP 2017 - 13th International Workshop on OpenMP*
September 21-22, 2017
Stony Brook, NY, USA
https://you.stonybrook.edu/iwomp2017/
*Background*
For many years, OpenMP has provided a very rich and flexible
programming model for shared memory architectures. OpenMP 4.0 is a
major advance that adds new forms of parallelism: device constructs
for accelerators, SIMD constructs for vector units, and several
significant extensions for work-sharing and task-based
parallelism. OpenMP 4.5 further …
[View More]extends OpenMP for use with today's
complex heterogeneous architectures.
The International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP) is an annual workshop
dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel
programming with OpenMP. It is the premier forum to present and
discuss issues, trends, recent research ideas, and results related to
OpenMP. We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers
detailing innovative, original research and development related to
OpenMP.
*Topics*
All topics related to OpenMP are of interest, including OpenMP
performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP performance and correctness
tools, proposed OpenMP extensions, and OpenMP applications in any
domain (e.g., scientific and numerical computation, video games,
computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization,
text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing,
and machine learning).
Advances in technologies, such as new kinds of memory, deep memory
hierarchies, multi-core processors, and support in OpenMP for devices
(accelerators such as GPGPUs, DSPs and FPGAs), Multiprocessor Systems
on a Chip (MPSoCs), present new opportunities and challenges for
software and hardware developers. Recent advances in the C, C++ and
Fortran base languages also offer interesting opportunities and
challenges to the OpenMP programming model. IWOMP 2017 particularly
solicits submissions in these areas as well as ones that discuss how
to apply OpenMP to additional models of parallelism such as event
loops.
*Paper Submission and Registration*
Submitted papers for review should be limited to 12 pages and follow
LNCS guidelines.
Submission deadline is April 28, 2017 (AOE).
Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare a final paper of
up to 15 pages. As in previous years, IWOMP 2017 will publish formal
proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer Verlag's LNCS series.
*Important Dates*
Paper Submission Deadline: April 28, 2017
Notification of acceptance: May 25, 2017
Deadline for final version: June 8, 2017

The first International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2017)
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2017)
http://hpcs2017.cisedu.info or http://cisedu.us/rp/hpcs17
July 17 – July 21, 2017
Genoa, Italy
Submission Deadline: April 3, 2017 (extended)
Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data …
[View More]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, parallelising 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 organisation and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimising data dependences. Another concern is related to minimising synchronisation and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimised 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:
- Scalable message-passing parallel data mining algorithms using MPI
- Scalable shared-memory parallel data mining algorithms using OpenMP
- Scalable hybrid MPI + OpenMP parallel data mining algorithms
- Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators
- Exploiting modern parallel architectures including FPGA for parallel data mining applications
- Map-reduce based parallel data mining algorithms
- Middleware for high-performance data mining on grid and cloud environments
- 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 optimisation techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining

Fourth International Conference on Dependency Linguistics
Pisa, Italy
18-20 September 2017
Conference web site: http://depling.org/depling2017/
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
CONFERENCE AIMS
The Depling conference responds to the growing need for a conference
dedicated to dependency-based approaches in linguistics and natural
language processing. In the past decade, dependencies, directed labeled
graph structures representing hierarchical relations between morphemes,
words or semantic units,…
[View More] have become very widespread in natural language
processing. However, the linguistic significance of these structures often
remains vague, and the need to discuss the theoretical and formal
foundations of dependency-based concepts is felt strongly by many people
working in these domains.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
Topics include but are not limited to:
- The use of dependency trees in syntactic analysis, parsing, generation,
and corpus annotation of written and spoken texts;
- Cross-lingual dependency parser evaluation, with particular emphasis on
intrinsic evaluation metrics;
- The use of semantic valency-based predicate and actancy graph structures
and their link to classical logic;
- The elaboration of formal dictionaries for dependency-based syntax and
semantics, including descriptions of collocations and paradigmatic
relations;
- Links to morphology and linearization of dependency structures, using,
for example, topological field theories;
- Dependency-like structures beyond the sentence, for example, to model
discourse phenomena;
- The description and formalization of semantic and pragmatic phenomena
related to information structure;
- History, epistemology, and psycholinguistic relevance of dependency
grammar, including its relation to generative approaches to language;
- Dependency grammar and linguistic universals.
SHARED TASK
This year Depling is co-located with the "International Workshop on Parsing
Technologies" (IWPT 2017), which will take place immediately after Depling
2017. The two conferences will have an overlapping day, September 20th, in
which the results will be reported of a joint shared task playing the role
of Depling-IWPT "bridge event" and focusing on "Extrinsic Parser
Evaluation" (EPE). The goal of this shared task is to try to shed light on
the relative `utility' of different types of dependency representations for
downstream applications that depend on grammatical analysis. For background
and information on participation, see: http://epe.nlpl.eu/
PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work
rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of
completion of the reported results. Submissions will be judged on
correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to
the conference, and interest to the attendees.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format through the Depling2017 EasyChair
site ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=depling2017 ).
Papers may consist of up to 10 pages of content (including references). All
submissions should follow the two-column format and the style guidelines.
We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files, OpenDocument or
Microsoft Word templates created for the Depling 2017 conference.
Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must not
include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references
that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith,
1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith (1991)
previously showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these requirements
will be rejected without review.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: May 5, 2017
Notification of acceptance: June 23, 2017
Final version of papers due: July 15, 2017
Depling conference: September 18-20, 2017
For the shared task timetable, see website.
