CFP: FiCloud 2021 - Deadline Extended
by FiCloud Conference 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

---------------------Call for Papers - Deadline Extended ------------------------------ The 8th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2021) IEEE-CS TCI 23-25 August 2021, Online (Virtual) http://www.ficloud.org/2021/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud is a modern computing platform for delivering on-demand computing services to service consumers over the Internet. Computing services include, for example, storage, memory, compute power, databases, and networking among others. Cloud services are generally provided using SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service). Unlike conventional distributed computing, cloud offers flexibility, scalability, efficiency and elasticity in service provisioning. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides 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.

CFP: Resilience@Euro-Par 2021 - Papers due May 7
by Thomas Naughton 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Contributions are sought in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted to: ** Foundations:Semantics, Formalisms, Nonmonotonic reasoning, Knowledge representation. ** Languages issues: Concurrency, Objects, Coordination, Mobility, Higher order, Types, Modes, Assertions, Modules, Meta-programming, Logic-based domain-specific languages, Programming techniques. ** Programming support: Program analysis, Transformation, Validation, Verification, Debugging, Profiling, Testing, Execution visualization. ** Implementation: Compilation, Virtual machines, Memory management, Parallel/distributed execution, Constraint handling rules, Tabling, Foreign interfaces, User interfaces. ** Related Paradigms and Synergies: Inductive and coinductive logic programming, Constraint logic programming, Answer set programming, Interaction with SAT, SMT and CSP solvers, Theorem proving, Argumentation, Probabilistic programming, Machine learning. ** Applications: Databases, Big data, Data integration and federation, Software engineering, Natural language processing, Web and semantic web, Agents, Artificial intelligence, Computational life sciences, Cybersecurity, Robotics, Education. Tracks and Special Sessions *************************** Besides the main track, ICLP 2021 will host additional tracks: ** Applications Track: this track invites submissions of papers on emerging and deployed applications of LP, describing all aspects of the development, deployment, and evaluation of logic programming systems to solve real-world problems, including interesting case studies and benchmarks, and discussing lessons learned. ** Recently Published Research Track: this track provides a forum to discuss important results related to logic programming that appeared recently (from January 2019 onwards) in selective journals and conferences, but have not been previously presented at ICLP. Each track will have its own dedicated chairs, PC and evaluation criteria. The attached CFPs specify the submission details. ICLP 2021 will also host: ** MentorLP - Mentoring Workshop on Logic Programming: the purpose of MentorLP is to support students and newcomers to pursue careers in logic programming research. This workshop will hold technical sessions on cutting-edge research in logic programming, and mentoring sessions on how to prepare and succeed for a research career. We will have leaders in logic programming research from academia and industry to give talks on their research areas. We will also have live discussions among participants on how to overcome challenges and make contributions to the research community. MentorLP is dedicated to fostering and supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion. We especially encourage members of underrepresented groups to attend. ** Fall School on Logic and Constraint Programming: the school is suited for those who wish to learn advanced topics in logic programming and constraint programming. It will consist of a serie of half-day tutorials. ** Doctoral Consortium: the Doctoral Consortium (DC) on Logic Programming provides students with the opportunity to present and discuss their research directions, and to obtain feedback from both peers and experts in the field. The best paper from the DC will be given the opportunity to make a presentation in a session of the main ICLP conference. ** Tutorials and Co-located Workshops. Important Dates *************** ** Abstract registration (regular papers): May 3, 2021 ** Paper submission (regular paper): May 10, 2021 ** Notification to authors (regular paper): June 27, 2021 ** Paper Submission (short papers): July 4, 2021 *+ Revision submission (TPLP papers): July 14, 2021 ** Final notifications (all paper kinds): July 30, 2021 ** Camera-ready copy due (all paper kinds): August 10, 2021 ** Conference: September 20--27, 2021 Submission Details ****************** Expected submissions to the main track (for the additional tracks, please follow the specific CFP): ** Regular papers (14 pages in TPLP format, including references) must describe original, previously unpublished research, and must not simultaneously be submitted for publication elsewhere. These restrictions do not apply to previously accepted workshop papers with a limited audience and/or without archival proceedings. The accepted regular papers will be published in TPLP, along with the selected ICLP-TPLP papers. The program committee may recommend some regular papers to be published as technical communications (TCs), along with the selected ICLP-TC papers. The authors of the TCs can also elect to convert their submissions into extended abstracts (2 or 3 pages) for inclusion in the proceedings. This should allow authors to submit a long version elsewhere. ** Short papers (7 pages in EPTCS format (http://info.eptcs.org/), including references) can describe published research. The accepted short papers that describe original and previously unpublished work will be published as TCs, along with the selected ICLP-TC papers. The accepted short papers that describe published research will be made available at the conference webpage, with the permission of the authors. All accepted regular papers and technical communications will be presented during the conference. Authors of accepted papers will, by default, be automatically included in the list of ALP members, who will receive quarterly updates from the Logic Programming Newsletter at no cost. All submissions must be written in English. Submissions will be done via EasyChair. The submission Web page for ICLP2021 is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclp2021 Organization ************ ** General Chair Ricardo Rocha, University of Porto, Portugal ** Program Chairs Andrea Formisano, University of Udine, Italy Y.
