The 9th International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-25)
by Yazan MUALLA 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

CALL FOR PAPERS The 9th International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-25) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In conjunction with the 16th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies ANT 2025 April 22 - 24, 2025, Patras, Greece. https://www.ciad-lab.fr/9th-international-workshop-on-agent-based-modeling-… ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =========== Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and many effective applications of this technology are now deployed. SARL-25 provides an international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate technology transfer. SARL workshop was born with the SARL agent programming language, but the scientific results presented in SARL-25 are not restricted to SARL; other languages and agent platforms may be presented. SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency, distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to effectively meet these features. Considering the variety of existing approaches and meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent systems, our approach remains as generic as possible and highly extensible to easily integrate new concepts and features. The goal of SARL-25 is to provide a place where the different points of view on the modeling and the simulation with agent platforms and agent programming languages may be discussed. SARL-25 will be held in Patras, Greece (April 22 - 24, 2025) in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2025). Topics ====== The main topics of the SARL-25 workshop are (but not restricted to): * Methods and Models: * Agent based Modeling and Simulation; * Agent programming language; * Agent based Simulation; * Agent oriented analysis and design methods; * Ontologies and theories about large urban systems; * Formal models of agent-based simulation; * Organizational models. * Applications: * Traffic/Transport; * Crowds; * Smart grids and smart buildings; * Land-Use; * Energy. Important Dates =============== * Submission deadline: January 10, 2025; * Notification: January 26, 2025; * Final date for camera-ready copy: February 9, 2025 (hard); * Workshop: April 22 - 24, 2025. Submission ========== All workshop accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series online. The submitted paper must be formatted according to the guidelines of Procedia Computer Science, Elsevier. You are invited to submit full length papers in PDF format on EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sarl25) not exceeding 6 pages in length, in single-column format including diagrams and references while following the Procedia Computer Science guidelines. Papers that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected without consideration of their merits. All papers will be reviewed by at least two Program Committee members on the basis of technical quality, originality, clarity, and relevance to the track topics listed above. At least one author of each paper must attend the workshop to present the paper. Workshop Chairs =============== Stéphane GALLAND (Univ. de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard, France) Nicolas GAUD (Univ. de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard, France) Sebastian RODRIGUEZ (RMIT, Australia) Publicity Chair ================ Yazan MUALLA (Univ. de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard, France).

Call for Papers, PDSEC-2025 Workshop, 3rd of June 2025 - Milan, Italy
by Jean-Claude Charr 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

**CALL FOR PAPERS** The 26th IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-2025) (http://www.ieee-tcsc.org/2025/pdsec/) will be held on the 3rd of June 2025 in Milan, Italy, in conjunction with IPDPS 2025. Deadline: PDSEC-2025 deadline: 19 Jan 2025 (AoE) Scope and Interests: The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an increasing burden placed on application developers due to the management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its associated performance characteristics. Many existing scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parallel and distributed computing (PDC) community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges in order to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the scientific application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability. In particular, we will focus on the following topics in parallel and distributed scientific and engineering applications, and not limited to: - Big scientific data - Performance modeling and simulation for the execution of scalable scientific applications on new heterogeneous architectures - Graph analytics with their (scientific) applications - Code modernization methodologies and experiences for adapting the changes in future computing systems - Languages for scientific computing on hybrid systems (e.g. Python, MPI+X where X is OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA etc.) - Tools and techniques for improving the performance, reliability and resilience of scientific applications - Use cases of enterprise distributed computing technology (such as MapReduce, Data Analytics and Machine-learning tools) in scientific and engineering applications - Scalable parallel and distributed algorithms supporting science and engineering applications - Performance portability across heterogeneous architecture Important Dates: Paper submission due . . . . . . . . . . . . . .January 19, 2025 Notification of Acceptance . . . . . . . . . . .
