[CFP] IA^3 2019 - 9th SC Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms
by Tumeo, Antonino 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] IA^3 2019 9th Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms http://hpc.pnl.gov/IA3 November 18, 2019 Colorado Convention Center, Denver, CO In conjunction with SC19 Sponsored by IEEE TCHPC -------------------- Call for Papers -------------------- Irregular applications occur in many subject matters. While inherently parallel, they exhibit highly variable execution performance at a local level due to unpredictable memory access patterns and/or network transfers, divergent control structures, and data imbalances. Moreover, they often require fine-grain synchronization and communication on large-data structures such as graphs, trees, unstructured grids, sparse matrices, deep nets, tables, and their combinations (such as, for example, attributed graphs). They have a significant degree of latent parallelism, which however is difficult to exploit due to their complex behavior. Current high performance architectures rely on data locality and regular computation to reduce access latencies, and often do not cope well with the requirements of these applications. Furthermore, irregular applications are difficult to scale on current supercomputing machines, due to their limits in fine-grained synchronization and small data transfers. Irregular applications pertain both to well established and emerging fields, such as machine learning, social network analysis, bioinformatics, semantic graph databases, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and computer security. Many of these application areas also process massive sets of unstructured data, which keep growing exponentially. Emerging supercomputing applications are moving towards a convergence of scientific simulation, data analytics, and learning algorithms, mixed in various ways. Addressing the issues of irregular applications on current and future architectures will become critical to solve the challenges in science and data analysis of the next few years. This workshop seeks to explore solutions for supporting efficient execution of irregular applications in the form of new features at the level of the micro- and system-architecture, network, languages and libraries, runtimes, compilers, analysis, algorithms. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to: - Micro- and System-architectures, including multi- and many-core designs, heterogeneous processors, accelerators (GPUs, vector processors, Automata processor), reconfigurable (coarse grained reconfigurable and FPGA designs) and custom processors - Network architectures and interconnect (including high-radix networks, optical interconnects) - Novel memory architectures and designs (including processors-in memory) - Impact of new computing paradigms on irregular workloads (including neuromorphic processors and quantum computing) - Modeling, simulation and evaluation of novel architectures with irregular workloads - Innovative algorithmic techniques - Combinatorial algorithms (graph algorithms, sparse linear algebra, etc.) - Impact of irregularity on machine learning approaches - Parallelization techniques and data structures for irregular workloads - Data structures combining regular and irregular computations (e.g., attributed graphs) - Approaches for managing massive unstructured datasets (including streaming data) - Languages and programming models for irregular workloads - Library and runtime support for irregular workloads - Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads - High performance data analytics applications (including graph databases and solutions that combine graph algorithms with machine learning) - Applications that integrate scientific simulation, data analytics, and learning, and require efficient execution of irregular workloads Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. We solicit both 8-page regular papers and 4-page position papers. Authors of exciting but not mature enough regular papers may be offered the option of a short 4-page paper and related short presentation. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Abstract Submission: August 28, 2019 Position or Regular Paper Submission: September 4, 2019 Notification: October 1, 2019 Camera-ready: October 10, 2019 Workshop: November 18, 2019 -------------------- Submissions -------------------- Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org Submitted manuscripts may not exceed eight (8) pages in length for regular papers and four (4) pages for position papers including figures, tables and references. Authors of regular papers will be able to provide up to one (1) additional pages for the Artifact Description (AD) appendix and, after paper acceptance, up to two (2) additional pages for the Artifact Evaluation (AE) appendix. The templates are available at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library through IEEE TCHPC. -------------------- Artifact Description & Evaluation -------------------- This edition of the workshop invites authors of regular papers to follow a reproducibility initiative like the main SC Conference, with specific appendices for the Artifact Description (AD) and the Artifact Evaluation (AE). Please refer to the SC reproducibility page for further details on the rationale behind AD and AE: https://sc19.supercomputing.org/submit/reproducibility-initiative/. Authors of regular papers will be able to use up to one (1) additional page to provide an Artifact Description (AD) Appendix, describing the details of their software environments and computational experiments to the extent that an independent person could replicate their results. This additional page is voluntary, and must focus only on details on software environments and methods to execute the experiments. It should not add details on the proposed technical approaches. If a paper has no computational results, the appendix only needs to mention that computational results are not part of the paper. Additionally, authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation (AE) process. The process is voluntary, but authors that will participate in the AE will be eligible for the Best Paper Award of the workshop. Supporting materials for the AE include access to the actual software artifact, shared publicly (for example, through the CK - Collective Knowledge - https://github.com/ctuning/ck format), and two (2) further additional pages of the paper that details how to reproduce the results of the paper. For details on how to submit supporting materials to the AE process, please refer to: http://ctuning.org/ae/submission.html. Authors participating in the AE will receive an assessment of the artifact, and the related badge on their paper.

ParCo2019 Symposium on Tools and Infrastructure for Reproducibility in Data-Intensive Applications
by Sandro Fiore 10 Jun '19

============================================================================ ParCo2019 Symposium on Tools and Infrastructure for Reproducibility in Data-Intensive Applications September 10, 2019 in Prague https://sites.google.com/cmcc.it/parco2019-reprod-symposium/home ============================================================================ Overview Meaningful advances in science and engineering are increasingly predicated on data-driven decision making. For these decisions to be valid, it is essential that the one not only record the process by which results were produced, but be able to reproduce the data involved at every step in the process. While we are all used to tracking source code revisions, and keeping track of program inputs and outputs, the increased complexity of end-to-end computing pipelines, coupled with new big-data and machine learning algorithms, imposes significant complexity on tracking all of the steps and associated data that went into producing a result. For example, keeping track of exactly what data use used for a training set vs. an evaluation set, what cleaning was done, what analysis was done on the results to evaluate performance, and what additional experiments were performed. With the ever-increasing number, size, and complexity of the data used in data-intensive applications, reproducing results from these types of investigations becomes increasingly difficult. While no-one deliberately sets out to create un-reproducible results, recent surveys of the literature shows that the ability to reproduce data-intensive results are the exception and not the rule. For these reasons, a symposium on issues, tools and infrastructure for data intensive applications is highly germane to the ParCo community. In this symposium, we propose to review current state of the art in reproducibility in data-intensive computing applications. We will cover three primary topic areas: - Reproducibility challenges that are specific to science and engineering activities that have data-intensive computing as a core aspect of the process - Infrastructure, tools and methods that are currently available for reproducible data-intensive applications, and gaps and challenges that need to be addressed. - How to increase the adoption of methods for reproducible data-intensive applications across the research community. Dates: - Submission of extended abstracts/draft papers: 31 July 2019 - Notification of acceptance for presentation at the Symposium: 10 August 2019 - Submission of full papers: 10 September 2019 - Symposium: 10 September, 2019 - Notification of acceptance of full papers for publication: 30 September 2019 - Deadline for submission of full papers for proceedings: 31 October 2019 Submission guidelines: - Extended abstracts should be ca. 2 pages. Full papers are allowed the same number of pages as all other papers included in the proceedings, i.e. 10 pages. - Contributions should be submitted by e-mail to the Symposium organisers at: sandro [dot] fiore [at] cmcc [dot] it , foster [at] uchicago [dot] edu , carl [at] isi [dot] edu - Please specify in the subject of your email: [Symposium contribution] Organizers: - Sandro Fiore Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change - Ian Foster University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory - Carl Kesselman University of Southern California Useful Information about ParCo2019 - Location and dates: Prague, Czech Republic, 10-13 September 2019 - Conference website: https://www.parco.org/ - Symposium page: https://www.parco.org/symposia.html *********************************************** Sandro Fiore, PhD Head of the Data Science and Learning Research Team Advanced Scientific Computing (ASC) Division Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC Foundation) Via Augusto Imperatore 16 - 73100 Lecce (Italy) http://www.cmcc.it/ email: sandro.fiore(a)cmcc.it Linkedin: https://it.linkedin.com/pub/sandro-fiore-ph-d/8/ba3/80 GScholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=VmTh7jcAAAAJ&hl=en ************************************************

07 Jun '19

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email! ********** WORKS 2019 Workshop********** 14th Workflows in Support of Large-Scale Science Workshop http://works.cs.cardiff.ac.uk/ Sunday 17 November 2019, Denver, CO Held in conjunction with SC19, http://sc19.supercomputing.org/ Paper submission deadline: 15 July 2019 ***************************************** Call For Papers Data-intensive Workflows (a.k.a. scientific workflows) are routinely used in most scientific disciplines today, especially in the context of parallel and distributed computing. Workflows provide a systematic way of describing the analysis and rely on workflow management systems to execute the complex analyses on a variety of distributed resources. They are at the interface between end-users and computing infrastructures. With the dramatic increase of raw data volume in every domain, they play an even more critical role to assist scientists in organizing and processing their data and to leverage HPC or HTC resources, e.g., workflows played an important role in the discovery of Gravitational Waves. This workshop focuses on the many facets of data-intensive workflow management systems, ranging from job execution to service management and the coordination of data, service and job dependencies. The workshop therefore covers a broad range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that include: data-intensive workflows representation and enactment; designing workflow composition interfaces; workflow mapping techniques that may optimize the execution of the workflow; workflow enactment engines that need to deal with failures in the application and execution environment; and a number of computer science problems related to scientific workflows such as semantic technologies, compiler methods, fault detection and tolerance. The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: Big Data analytics workflows Data-driven workflow processing (including stream-based workflows) Workflow composition, tools, and languages Workflow execution in distributed environments (including HPC, clouds, and grids) Reproducible computational research using workflows Dynamic data dependent workflow systems solutions Exascale computing with workflows In Situ Data Analytics Workflows Interactive workflows (including workflow steering) Workflow fault-tolerance and recovery techniques Workflow user environments, including portals Workflow applications and their requirements Adaptive workflows Workflow optimizations (including scheduling and energy efficiency) Performance analysis of workflows Workflow debugging Workflow provenance ***************************************** Important Dates Papers due: 15 July 2019 Paper acceptance notification: 1 September 2019 E-copyright registration completed by authors: 1 October 2019 Camera-ready deadline: 1 October 2019 Submitted papers must be at most 10 pages long. The proceedings should be formatted according to the IEEE format (see https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, appendices and references.

(sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (HPCMS) Within PDP 2020 (www.pdp2020.com) The 28th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and Network-Based Computing Västerås (Sweden) 11-13 March 2020 http://www.pdp2020.com/specialsessions/hpcms/hpcms.html Deadline: September 15th, 2019 Contact: William Spataro - spataro(a)unical.it ************************************************************************* AIMS AND SCOPE The development of models through which computers can simulate the evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the advancement of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable. Following the success of our past HPCMS workshops at PDP (since 2014), we are glad to invite you to our sixth edition which will take place in Västerås (Sweden). An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities, Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field. HPCMS intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications - Complex systems modelling and simulation - Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence implementations - Integrated approach to optimization and simulation - MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science - Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in Computational Science - High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: 15 September 2019 Acceptance notification: 20 October 2019 Camera ready due: 11 December 2019 Conference: 11 - 13 March 2020 Submission guidelines Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt).

CfP: 2nd International Workshop on Software Architecture Challenges in Big Data (SACBD 2019)
by Zoltán Mann 23 May '19

23 May '19

2nd Call for Papers 2nd International Workshop on Software Architecture Challenges in Big Data (SACBD 2019) Co-located with ECSA 2019, the 13th European Conference on Software Architecture 9-10 September 2019, Paris, France Paper submission deadline: 31 May 2019 http://www.bdva.eu/node/1262 BACKGROUND ========== Software systems managing big data have very challenging architectural requirements, e.g., in terms of performance, flexibility, and reliability. Big data systems often embody a number of technologies, such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), fog computing, high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular machine learning (ML). These technologies come with their own technical limitations and constraints that also impact the architecture of big data systems. Enforcing security, privacy, transparency, and ethics are also concerns of increasing importance, with potential architectural implications. OBJECTIVES ========== The Big Data Value Association (BDVA, http://www.bdva.eu/) initiated the SACBD workshop series to provide a forum for discussing all aspects of the software architecture challenges of big data systems. The workshop welcomes the contributions of practitioners and researchers alike. The workshop is open to all, both BDVA members and non-members. Technical issues and challenges related to software architecture are well covered by the European Big Data Value Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (http://www.bdva.eu/SRIA) Such software architecture trends are facilitating new data-driven operations and services which are at the core of the new economy revolving around big data value. As organizations become more and more data-centric, they need to re-design their software architectures accordingly. For example, data-intensive systems and applications need to be put in place and properly integrated with traditional systems (e.g. web applications). This affects not only the architecture design but also its implementation and non-functional aspects. For example, performance and data protection are paramount when dealing with Big Data. This situation creates a need for new methods and tools to design and reason about software architectures in Big Data scenarios and paves the way for various research directions. For example, how to design software architectures when dealing with Big Data? Which are the typical architectural patterns? How to assess the performance or the privacy risk of Big Data architectures? The workshop will focus on these and many others aspects of software architectures in the Big Data era. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== The workshop solicits papers on all aspects of software architecture for big data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Software architectures in genuine big data scenarios * Architectural patterns for big data * Architectures of big data systems (e.g., Spark, Flink, Hadoop) * Integration of Big Data systems with other business systems * Non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, security, privacy, reliability) * Combining big data with IoT, HPC, cloud computing, fog computing * Applying machine learning to big data scenarios, big data integration with artificial intelligence * Fostering business with big data and analytics SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===================== Original, high-quality papers are solicited, from researchers and practitioners alike. Both full papers (maximum 8 pages) and short papers (maximum 4 pages) will be considered. All papers must be written in English and follow the ACM formatting instructions and templates for conference papers, as specified under https://www.acm.org/publications/icps-instructions/. Independently from the length, several types of papers will be considered (experience reports, new approaches, review or analysis of existing approaches, empirical studies, theoretical results, negative results, position papers, vision papers). The contribution of a paper must be commensurate with its length. Submitted papers must be original, not submitted and not published elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the ECSA companion proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Papers must be submitted in PDF using the online submission system under the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sacbd2019. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Paper acceptance will be based on originality, significance, technical soundness, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the workshop topics. FURTHER INFORMATION =================== SACBD 2019 will be co-located with ECSA 2019, the 13th European Conference on Software Architecture (https://ecsa2019.univ-lille.fr/) The workshop will take place on 9-10 September 2019 in Paris, right before the main ECSA conference. At least one author of each accepted paper must register, attend the workshop, and present the work. Registration is subject to the terms, conditions and procedure of the ECSA 2019 conference. Workshop website: http://www.bdva.eu/node/1262 IMPORTANT DATES =============== Paper submission: May 31, 2019 Notification: June 26, 2019 Camera-ready: July 5, 2019 Workshop: September 9-10, 2019 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ==================== Zoltán Ádám Mann, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Daniel Alonso Román, Technology Institute of Valencia, Spain Michele Guerriero, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Alessandra Bagnato, Softeam, France PROGRAM COMMITTEE ================= Ali Serdar Atalay, BitNet, Turkey Peter Baumann, Jacobs University Bremen, Germany Arne Berre, SINTEF, Norway David Bowden, DELL, Ireland Sergio Campos, Tecnalia Research & Innovation, Spain Alexandru Costan, IRISA / INSA Rennes, France Carlos E.

The Event: OpenInfra Days Nordics 2019 =============================== OpenInfra Days Nordics 2019 will be held in Stockholm, Sweden on 2 — 3 October 2019. 2018 marked the beginning of a new era as the OpenStack Foundation announced their full support to all adjacent open source communities dedicated to building and operating open infrastructure. The Foundation changed the name of their community gathering to Open Infrastructure Summit, encouraging wide spread collaboration with communities such as Ansible, Ceph, Docker, Kata Containers, Kubernetes, ONAP, Open cSwitch, OPNFV, StarlingX, Zuul and more. As a satellite event to the Open Infrastructure Summit, and as supporters of the new and improved mission, it is now our turn to head in the same direction. This is why we are officially changing the name of this event and extend a warm welcome to the entire Nordic open infrastructure community. Let’s all help create, experience, learn and improve both our community and all of the open infra solutions and technologies we are dedicated to! For more info: https://openinfranordics.com Ticket deals ========= As with many other aspects of this event, we have also changed the ticket deals. Gone are the various species of birds and instead we encourage early registration through a single set of discounts. 30% OFF for 30 This deal is valid for the first 30 attendees and has no expiry date. Students We keep 50 student tickets reserved until 2019-08-30. Call for papers =========== Call for papers is open and as usual, we are relying on our fantastic community to help fill this event with great content. If you haven’t yet considered hosting a presentation, here is what you need to know: Our attendees are eager to learn and explore new areas of open source infrastructure using OpenStack, Kubernetes, and 30+ other technologies. A good presentation free of sales content is the best and most valued presentation. Submit your presentations: https://papercall.io/oidn-stockholm-2019 Exhibit for free! ============ We came up with something new and we quite simply call it for what it is. The Southwest Community Corner. We are determined to make this event an extraordinary meeting place for the Nordic open infrastructure community. This space serves to recognise all of the hard working community teams, charitable organisations and student projects in the open source space. The actual Southwest corner of the marketplace will host a total of 8 charitable organisations, community project teams and student projects a chance to exhibit at the event for free! These opportunities are applied for, in contrast to sponsorships which are sold on a first come – first served basis. Applications are then reviewed and approved by the advisory team. Exhibitors to the Southwest Community Corner will be selected continuously.
