by FiCloud Conference 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

----------------------Call for Papers (Deadline Extended)------------------------------------------------ The 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019), IEEE CS- TCI 26-28 August 2019, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.ficloud.org/2019/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

[DEADLINE APPROCHING] The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)
by Massimo CAFARO 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

WPDM 2019 The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2019/ CALL FOR PAPERS The Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) will be held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2019), http://www.iccsa.org Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia July 1-4 2019 Final deadline for submissions extended to: April 7, 2019 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.

ABOUT CADIZ: Being one of the ancient cities of Occidental Europe, the Province of Cadiz, which was baptized by the poet Lord Byron as “Ocean Mermaid”, can be highlighted by many things: its beaches, its places, its people... Inland, its climate with warm temperatures throughout the year and clear skies, harbours a maze of dunes, creeks, salt marshes and beaches of high ecological value, and has been chosen as the scenery of some films like James Bond’s film Die another day or the American film Knight and day. Numerous famous people have been in this city The coast: Cadiz, located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has 260 km of coast which can be enjoyed with its great variety of miles of sandy beaches with fine and white sand and clear blue water. Along the coast you can also appreciate the wildlife features of this area. Its history is ancient. Tartessos and Phoenicians visited this land more than 3,000 years ago. The Romans and Visigoths also dwelt it and from 711 was a Muslim territory until the second half of the thirteenth century. The passage of different cultures has left their mark in art and culture as well as in the gastronomy and the Flamenco that you will be able to enjoy. There are many places of interest and a large number of activities to be enjoyed in Cadiz. However, the beauty of it is that you can make it as active or as relaxing as you wish during your stay!
