The rise of *Next Generation Sequencing* (NGS) technologies, also known as *high-throughput sequencing* technologies, has contributed actively to the deluge of these data. In general, these data are big, heterogeneous, complex, and distributed in all over the world in databases. Analyzing this huge volume of data is a challenging task, not only, because of its complexity and its multiple and numerous correlated factors, but also, because of the continuous evolution of our understanding of the biological mechanisms. Classical approaches of biological data analysis are no longer efficient and produce only a very limited amount of information, compared to the numerous and complex biological mechanisms under study. From here comes the necessity to use computer tools and develop new *in silico* high performance approaches to support us in the analysis of biological data and, hence, to help us in our understanding of the correlations that exist between, on one hand, structures and functional patterns in biological macromolecules and, on the other hand, genetic and biochemical mechanisms. *Biological **Knowledge Discovery from Data* (BIOKDD) is a response to these new trends. Topics of BIOKDD’17 workshop include, but not limited to: *Data Preprocessing: *Biological Data Storage*, *Representation and Management (data warehouses, databases, sequences, trees, graphs, biological networks and pathways, …), Biological Data Cleaning (errors removal, redundant data removal, completion of missing data, …), Feature Extraction (motifs, subgraphs, …), Feature Selection (filter approaches, wrapper approaches, hybrid approaches, embedded approaches, …). *Data Mining: *Biological Data Regression (regression of biological sequences, …), Biological Data Clustering/Biclustering (microarray data biclustering, clustering/biclustering of biological sequences, …), Biological Data Classification (classification of biological sequences, …), Association Rules Learning from Biological Data, Text Mining and Application to Biological Sequences, Web Mining and Application to Biological Data, Parallel, Cloud and Grid Computing for Biological Data Mining. *Data Postprocessing:* Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Filtering, Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Representation and Visualization, Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Evaluation (calculation of the classification error rate, evaluation of the association rules *via* numerical indicators, e.g. *measurements of interest*, … ), Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Integration. *PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: * Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions in English. Submitted papers should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE CSP format *http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting <http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting>*. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of DEXA’17 Workshops with IEEE CSP*. *One of the authors of an accepted paper must register to DEXA’17 conference and present the paper at BIOKDD’17 workshop. For paper registration and electronic submission see http://confdriver.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/dexa2017/ starting from January 2017. *IMPORTANT DATES:* Submission of abstracts: March 18, 2017 Submission of full papers: March 26, 2017 Notification of acceptance: May 17, 2017 Camera-ready copies due: June 07, 2017 *PROGRAM COMMITTEE:* Mourad Elloumi, LaTICE, University of Tunis, Tunisia (PC Chair) Emanuel Weitschek, Uninetuno University, Rome, Italy Daisuke Kihara, Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA Bhaskar DasGupta, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, USA Giuseppe Lancia, University of Udine, Italy Dominique Lavenier, GenScale, IRISA-CNRS, Rennes, France Robert Harrison, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Hasan Davulcu, Arizona State University, Arizona, USA Vladimir Makarenkov, University of Québec, Montréal, Canada Ronnie Alves, Instituto Tecnológico Vale D.S, Belém, Brasil Paul Yoo, Bournemouth University, UK Davide Verzzotto, Genome Institute of Singapore, Singapore Matteo Comin, University of Padova, Padova, Italy Adrien Goëffon, University of Angers, France Tolga Can, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey Hasan Oğul, Başkent University Ankara, Turkey Maad Shatnawi, Higher colleges of Technology, Abu Dhabi, UAE Evangelos Theodoridis, Intel Labs Europe, London, UK.

Sorry for duplicates. ===================== *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** Special Issue on Dynamic Geometry and Automated Reasoning https://sites.google.com/site/kovzol/jsc-si-dg-ar Journal of Symbolic Computation* https://www.journals. elsevier.com/journal-of-symbolic-computation GUEST EDITORS: Francisco Botana, University of Vigo, Spain Zoltán Kovács, The Private University College of Education of the Diocese of Linz, Austria Tomas Recio, University of Cantabria, Spain IMPORTANT DATES: - submission deadline: September 1, 2017 - notification of acceptance / rejection: February 2, 2018 - final versions: March 30, 2018 SCOPE: Since the last half century, automated deduction in elementary geometry has become one of the most successful achievements in the field of automated reasoning. Along these decades various methods and techniques have been studied and developed for automated proving and discovering of elementary geometry statements. On the other hand, dynamic geometry software systems have emerged, such as Cabri Geometry, C.a.R., Cinderella, DrGeo, GeoGebra, The Geometer's Sketchpad, Geometry Expert, Geometry Expressions or Kig with an ever-increasing presence in mathematics education. Some of them possess a large number of users (over thirty million) all around the world. The merging of these two tools (automatic proving and dynamic geometry) is, thus, a very natural, challenging and promising issue, currently involving logic, symbolic computation, software development, algebraic geometry and mathematics education experts all from over the world. The Special Issue intends to be an opportunity for - presenting the current state of the art concerning the development of automatic proving features on dynamic geometry systems, - discussing the current and potential applications of such features in different contexts, such as CAGD or mathematics education. TOPICS (not restricted to): - Algorithmic aspects: formal, logic and algebraic geometry approaches, constraint solving, invariant and coordinate-free methods, real and complex geometry issues, probabilistic, synthetic approaches, techniques from discrete mathematics, combinatorics, and numerics. - Software aspects: Implementation of automated proving methods in dynamic geometry programs, design of packages and systems, data representation. Parallel and distributed computing, considerations for modern hardware and new devices. User-interface issues, use with systems for digital libraries, courseware, ... - Application aspects: applications to mechanics, geometric modeling, CAGD/CAD, computer vision, robotics and education. Papers must not duplicate work already published or submitted for publication elsewhere. All the papers will be refereed according to the JSC standards. Papers should follow the guidelines for JSC submissions (seehttps://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-symbolic-computation/0747-7…) and should be submitted through Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jscdgarsi2018) The introduction of the paper must explicitly address the following questions in succinct and informal manner: - What is the problem? - Why is the problem important? - What has been done so far on the problem? - What is the main contribution of the paper on the problem? - Why is the contribution original? (see below for clarification) - Why is the contribution non-trivial? Make the paper complete (since there is no page limit): - All the related works and issues must be completely and carefully discussed. - All the previous relevant JSC papers must be properly cited and discussed. - All the theorems must be rigorously proved (no sketch allowed). - All the important definitions/theorems/algorithms must be illustrated by well-chosen examples. * An international journal, the Journal of Symbolic Computation, founded by Bruno Buchberger in 1985, is directed to mathematicians and computer scientists who have a particular interest in symbolic computation. Automated theorem proving is one of the research areas of interest highlighted in the Journal’s description. The Journal of Symbolic Computation has a 1.030 Impact Factor, according to the last Thompson Reuters Journal Citation Reports (2016).

11 Mar '17

---------------Call for Papers--------------------------------------- The 4th International Symposium on Intercloud and IoT (ICI 2017) 21-23 August 2017, Prague, Czech Republic http://www.ficloud.org/ici2017/ Co-located with the IEEE FiCloud 2017 (http://www.ficloud.org/2017/) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Intercloud aims to create a cloud of clouds in order to enable interconnection between heterogeneous clouds. Objectives are to share resources, support extreme workload, efficiently process big data and place data and compute power closer to places where they are needed more. Intercloud can also minimise the vendor lock-in problem so that users can use services offered by multiple clouds. Intercloud can be used in a wide spectrum of applications including the IoT. For instance, according to the Cisco's Internet of Things Business Unit, Cisco plans to enhance IoT services through Intercloud in order to localise compute power and data processing where these are needed more - e.g., "sensors on a cargo ship can monitor whether the containers on board have shifted en route or gotten too hot or too cold. All those readings may add up to more data than is economical to send in real time to a data center half a world away via a narrowband satellite link” (Computerworld). The objective of the International Symposium on Intercloud and IoT (ICI) is to discuss and develop new models, methods, and techniques in order to realise the true vision of Intercloud and IoT services. It aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in order to discuss ideas and share knowledge on various issues related to the theme of the symposium. Topics of the ICI symposium include (but not limited to): - Architectures and models - Integration and collaboration - Network design and architecture - Software systems - Data processing and management - Context-aware service provisioning - Security, trust and privacy - Fault tolerance and reliability - Performance evaluation and modelling - Network communication protocols - Rules and policies - Business models and standards - Service level agreements Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 15 May 2017 Authors Notification: 30 May 2017 Final Manuscript Due: 20 June 2017 Paper Publication and Submission: Authors are requested to submit papers reporting original research results and experience. The page limit for full papers is 8 pages and for short papers is 6 pages. Papers should be prepared using IEEE two-column template. IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines are available at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/submission. Submitted research papers may not overlap with papers that have already been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.All papers accepted for this symposium are peer-reviewed and are to be published in the conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Service (CPS).

----------------------Call for Papers (Deadline Extended)------------------------------------- The IEEE 5th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2017) 21-23 August 2017, Prague, Czech Republic http://www.ficloud.org/2017/ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- 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.

The first International Workshop on Parallel 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: March 20, 2017 Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel 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, 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to synergy between parallel computing, optimisation and simulation.

Deadline extended-Second IEEE International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2017)
by Shao Ying Zhu 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

Call for Papers Second IEEE International Workshop on Security in NFV-SDN (SNS2017) (website: http://sns2017.eu/) in conjunction with the 3rd IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft 2017) July 3-7, 2017 Bologna, Italy Scope Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) technologies are radically changing telecommunication networks. NFV virtualizes network services to reduce the dependency on underlying hardware which aids resource management, provides faster service enablement and lowers OPEX and CAPEX. SDN separates the control functions from the underlying physical network by decoupling the control and data planes thereby offering improved programmability, ease of deployment, management, reduced costs, better scalability, availability, flexibility and fine-grain control of traffic. But how does this widespread adoption of NVF-SDN impact on network security, especially with an increased attack surface implied by virtualization? In this workshop, we invite high-quality submissions in the areas of NFV and SDN security and related areas. Submitted papers should highlight methods and approaches that can be used to analyse the security risks, requirements and techniques related to NFV and SDN and to provide methods and approaches to assure security and mitigate threats in NFV and SDN.

[simu-conf] DEADLINE REMINDER - WinterSim 2017 Call for Papers
by vsim-conf＠sce.carleton.ca 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

DEADLINE REMINDER - Contributed Paper Deadline is April 7, 2017 One month left to submit contributed papers to the Winter Simulation Conference. Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) 2017 - Call for Papers December 3-6, 2017 Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa 11011 W. Charleston Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89135 www.wintersim.org WSC TURNS 50: SIMULATION EVERYWHERE! >From experimentation to theory; standards and advanced methodologies, modeling and simulation is continually pushing the envelope of the available technologies, as many sectors have growing needs to process, visualize, make readable, understand, and deploy complex models that use immense amounts of data. These players need to transform data into hypothesis building and critical decision-making, and to change their models in response to new hypotheses, usually involving multiple highly specialized experts working together in geographically distant areas. After 50 years, we are now beyond Modeling and Simulation using Grid and Cloud computing, Web-based and distributed simulation and other recent technologies. We need to deal with computing power and storage in heterogeneous environments, resources virtualization; services consumed on demand (with minimal limitation for resource location), power issues, massive datasets. We face new challenges as we have ubiquitous processors that can process applications on demand. WSC 2017 focus is on addressing how to achieve the goal of having Simulation Everywhere! WSC 2017 is sponsored by: ACM/SIGSIM, IISE (Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers), INFORMS-SIM and SCS (Society for Modeling and Simulation International), with Technical Co-Sponsorship from ASA (American Statistical Association), ASIM (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Simulation), IEEE/SMC (Systems, Man and Cybernetics) and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). LOCATION WSC 2017 will be held at the Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, NV. The resort hotel provides an idyllic getaway just minutes from the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip and is ideally situated near the entrance to the Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Center. PROGRAM WSC 2017 features a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials to state-of-the-art research and practice. Planned tracks are: - Agent-Based Simulation - Analysis Methodology - Architecture and Construction - Aviation Modeling and Analysis - Cyber-Physical Systems - Environment and Sustainability Applications - Future of Simulation - Gaming - Healthcare Applications - History of Simulation - Hybrid Simulation - Manufacturing Applications - Logistics, SCM, Transportation - Military Applications and Homeland Security - Intelligent, Adaptive and Autonomous Systems (MSIAAS) - Modeling Methodology - Project Management - Simulation Education - Simulation Optimization - Social and Behavioral Simulation - Introductory Tutorials - Advanced Tutorials Also, a PhD Colloquium, Poster Session, Vendor and Case Studies tracks provide background on established and new methods, tools and application domains. WSC 2017 continues to incorporate the MASM (Modeling and Analysis for Semiconductor Manufacturing) Conference, the leading modeling and analysis conference for global semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain operations. KEYNOTE & TITAN SPEAKERS 50th Anniversary Keynote - Barry L Nelson Northwestern University WSC 2067: What Are The Chances? At the November 1967 "Conference on the Applications of Simulation Using GPSS" it seems unlikely that anyone was wondering if the conference would still be occupying a big hotel in 2017. Conferences persist for many reasons, but a technical conference like WSC has to remain relevant to users, vendors, researchers and consumers (not just hotels) to survive. If our kind of simulation vanished, then so (eventually) would WSC. What is required for simulation to "remain relevant" for the next 50 years? Without fear of having to answer for my crimes in 2067, I boldly speculate on what SHOULD matter for the next 10-20 years, if not the next 50, with a focus on our strength: dealing with uncertainty. 50th Anniversary Titans Robert G. Sargent Professor Emeritus - Syracuse University A Prospective on Fifty-Five Years of the Evolution of Scientific Respect for Simulation Bernard P. Zeigler Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering - University of Arizona MASM Keynote Stephane Dauzere-Peres Professor, Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne Achievements and Lessons Learned from a Long-term Academic-Industrial Collaboration Military Keynote Douglas Hodson Associate Professor, Professor of Computer Engineering at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Military Simulation: A Ubiquitous Future 50th Anniversary Track Keynote Brian Hollocks Professor, Bournemouth University, Faculty of Management.
