15 Mar '23

(Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) ************************************************************************** WSCC 2023: Euro-Par 2023 International Workshop International Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum Date: 28 August - September 2023 Location: Limassol, Cyprus Workshop web page: https://wscc2023.di.unipi.it/ Euro-Par web page: https://2023.euro-par.org/ ************************************************************************** * Call for Papers The “Compute Continuum” paradigm promises to manage the heterogeneity and dynamism of widespread computing resources, aiming to simplify the execution of distributed applications improving data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy management as well as other non-functional features. This is made possible by overcoming resource fragmentation and segregation in tiers, enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility. All of this should be achievable by application developers without having to worry about how and where the developed components will be executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute Continuum, proactive, autonomous, and infrastructure-aware management is desirable, if not mandatory, calling for novel interdisciplinary approaches that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods. In this landscape, the workshop is willing to attract contributions in the area of distributed systems with particular emphasis on support for geographically distributed platforms and autonomic features to deal with variable workloads and environmental events, and take the best of heterogeneous and distributed infrastructures. A partial list of interesting topics of this workshop is the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for Compute Continuum - System software for cloud-edge-IoT orchestration - Distributed and decentralized management of resources and application deployment in the Compute Continuum - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis - Compute Continuum as a service - Energy-efficient solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum - AI in the Compute Continuum - Scalable applications for Compute Continuum (IoT, microservices, serverless) - Data-intensive and stream processing systems and applications in the Compute Continuum - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving Compute Continuum - Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the Compute Continuum * Submission Instructions The papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines.

VHPC'23 - 18th Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing Workshop - Call for Papers
by Tommaso Cucinotta 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

[apologies for cross-postings, title/abstract due on Sunday, paper due on 19th] The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) <https://vhpc.org/> is an international forum bringing together researchers and industrial practitioners facing the challenges posed by virtualization in HPC/Cloud scenarios, in order to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, enabling research to ultimately provide novel solutions for virtualized computing systems of tomorrow. The 18th edition of VHPC will be held on May 25th, 2023, jointly with the ISC High-Performance 2023 <https://www.isc-hpc.com/> conference and exhibition in Hamburg (Germany), and it welcomes contributions on the research topics detailed below. Paper submissions are due on March 19th. Accepted papers will be published on Springer LNCS series, and indexed by Scopus, among others. *Keynote Talk* We're happy to announce that VHPC'23 will feature an excellent keynote talk: * “*What is RCU and How Does it Help the Linux Kernel Scale?* <https://vhpc.github.io/keynote1/>", *Paul E. McKenney*, Software Engineer at Meta *Workshop Overview* Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to seamlessly manage complex infrastructures, to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O virtualization, in turn, allows physical network interfaces to exchange traffic with multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays independently from the underlying physical topology, is another fundamental enabling technology for Cloud/HPC infrastructures. Last, storage virtualization needs to evolve to support increasingly demanding requirements in terms of performance and reliability for the managed application data. *Topics of Interest* The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC, containers-virtualization and cloud computing, focusing on the following major topics: * HPC on Containers and VMs; * Containerized applications with OS-level virtualization; * Lightweight applications with Unikernels; * HPC-as-a-Service. Each of these major topics encompasses design/architecture, management, performance management, modeling and configuration/tooling, leading to the following detailed, but non-necessarily exhaustive, list of topics of interest: Design / Architecture: * Containers and OS-level virtualization (LXC, Docker, rkt, Singularity, Shifter, i.a.) * Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.) * Hypervisor extensions to mitigate side-channel attacks([micro-]architectural timing attacks, privilege escalation) * VM & Container trust and security models * Multi-environment coupling, system software supporting in-situ analysis with HPC simulation * Cloud reliability, fault-tolerance and high-availability * Cloud-based quantum compute services * Energy-efficient and power-aware virtualization * Containers inside VMs with hypervisor isolation * Virtualization support for emerging memory and storage technologies * Lightweight/specialized operating systems in conjunction with virtual machines * Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.) * Unikernels and use cases for virtualized HPC environments * Formal definition and verification of hypervisors and virtualization system properties * ARM-based hypervisors, ARM virtualization extensions Management: * Container and VM management for HPC and cloud environments * HPC services integration, services to support HPC * Service and on-demand scheduling & resource management * Dedicated workload management with VMs or containers * Workflow coupling with VMs and containers * Unikernels and lightweight VM application management * Environments and tools for operating containerized environments (batch, orchestration) * Models for non-HPC workload provisioning on HPC resources Performance Measurements and Modeling: * Performance improvements for, or driven by, unikernels * Optimizations of virtual machine monitor platforms and hypervisors * Scalability analysis of VMs and/or containers at large scale * Performance measurement, modeling and monitoring of virtualized/cloud workloads * Virtualization in supercomputing environments, HPC clusters, HPC in the cloud * Energy-efficient deployment of high-performance, ultra-low latency and real-time workloads in cloud infrastructures * Modeling, control and isolation of end-to-end performance for parallel & distributed cloud/HPC applications Configuration / Tooling: * Tool support for unikernels: configuration/build environments, debuggers, profilers * Job scheduling/control/policy and container placement in virtualized environments * Measuring and controlling "OS/Virtualization noise" * Operating MPI in containers/VMs and Unikernels * GPU virtualization operationalization *Organization* The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections, plus lightning talks that are limited to 5 minutes.

Special Issue on Industrial IoT networks to support future Cloud-to-Things applications – Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier –
by Francesca Righetti 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Please consider to submit your paper: Special Issue on Industrial IoT networks to support future Cloud-to-Things applications – Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier – The Cloud-to-Things (C2T) continuum is a novel paradigm that extends the cloud-computing centralized architecture by introducing intermediate computing layers to host industrial applications and services with stringent requirements in terms of latency and reliability in the communication with IoT devices and sensors. Recent network architectures that support the integration of IoT devices into existing networks, like 6TiSCH or 5G/6G, include by design support for strict Quality of Service (QoS) communication requirements to ensure timed and reliable data delivery between applications and IoT devices. The deployment and management of the C2T multi-tier computing infrastructure connected with industrial IoT via heterogeneous communication technologies on a large-scale will require innovative approaches to guarantee QoS application requirements by enabling the convergence between computing and networking. Current networking management approaches are not adequate to support this convergence, thus leading to research open issues in multiple areas, including, for instance, IoT networks performance optimization, efficient resource management, scalable device management, novel compute-network joint management strategies, etc. In this special issue, we look for original and high-quality research works in these areas to enable the convergence between networking and computing in the C2T continuum for industrial applications. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: *Network resource allocation and management in Industrial IoT networks *Integration between cloud-edge infrastructure and 5G/6G networks for the Industrial IoT *Network continuity to support efficient offloading to optimize network performance *Network strict-QoS for Industrial applications in the C2T continuum *Joint network configuration and workload distribution in the C2T continuum *Security issues and solutions for industrial systems in the C2T continuum *Ad-Hoc Networks for industrial applications to support mobility *Vehicular networks for cooperative autonomous vehicles *Self-organizing networks in the C2T continuum *Scalable management solutions in the C2T continuum *Novel network paradigms to support the C2T continuum with QoS guarantees Guest editors: Jiannong Cao, Hong Kong Polytechnic University,jiannong.cao(a)polyu.edu.hk<mailto:jiannong.cao@polyu.edu.hk> Sajal K.

People can share and exchange information and ideas globally just with a single click. Among these digital media platforms, social networks such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc., have a good standing. They represent the most used applications by the people, everywhere and for all times so far. Moreover, the traffic generated by digital media platforms represents more than half of the web traffic worldwide. It is a fact that the use of these digital media platforms has dramatically influenced our habits on the Internet and in our daily life. As a result, we must adequately be wary of the electronic violence propagated via social networks. Indeed, cyberbullying has recently emerged as an effective form of bullying and online harassment. This phenomenon is becoming a concern worldwide. It includes many forms such as racism, terrorism, and several types of trolling. On the other hand, Machine Intelligence (MI) and overall Artificial Intelligence have shown promise to be powerful tools in various domains, such as computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), speech recognition, computational biology, and others. Motivated by these successes, researchers worldwide have recently started investigating applications of these techniques to handle cyberbullying issues in the modern media. In this context, in recent years, many methods such as Fuzzy Logic (FL), Evolutionary Algorithms (EA), M achine Learning (ML), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Deep Learning (DL) have been applied for detecting cyberbullying content generated by digital media platforms. This book examines how machine intelligence techniques can contribute to detecting and combating cyberbullying phenomenon. The book is intended for researchers, specialists in AI and cyberbullying, teachers and it could be helpful for undergraduate and graduate students as well.
