Special Issue "The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining"
A special issue of Algorithms (ISSN 1999-4893).
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 21 December 2018
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel and distributed data mining algorithms. The Workshop on Parallel and …
[View More]Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) is an international forum that brings together researchers and practitioners, working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Indeed, datasets grow so rapidly that, every day, exabytes of data are being generated, and, in order to extract and infer useful knowledge, parallel processing techniques are required to cope with this huge volume of data: Traditional sequential software is not viable to cope with them. When the data are generated in different places (such as wireless sensor networks and/or Internet of things devices), they may be geographically spread out, and the data cannot be sent to a centralized site, thus, the need for distributed processing algorithms arises. Topics relevant to this Special Issue cover the scope of the WPDM 2018 Workshop (http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/):
- 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
Extended versions of papers presented at WPDM 2018 are sought, but this call for papers is fully open to all those who wish to contribute by submitting a relevant research manuscript.
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 3nd International Workshop on Agent-based Modeling and Applications with SARL (SARL-19)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and
Technologies ANT 2019 and the European SarlCon 2019
April 29 - May 2, 2019, Leuven, Belgium.
Description
===========
Research on Agents and Multi-Agent Systems has matured during the last decade and …
[View More]many
effective applications of this technology are now deployed. SARL-18 provides an
international forum to present and discuss the latest scientific developments and
their effective applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to facilitate
technology transfer.
SARL workshop borns with the SARL agent programming language, but the scientific results
presented in SARL-19 are not restricted to SARL; other languages and agent platforms may
be presented.
SARL aims at providing the fundamental abstractions for dealing with concurrency,
distribution, interaction, decentralization, reactivity, autonomy and dynamic
reconfiguration. These high-level features are now considered as the major
requirements for an easy and practical implementation of modern complex software
applications. We are convinced that the agent-oriented paradigm holds the keys to
effectively meet this challenge. Considering the variety of existing approaches and
meta-models in the field of agent-oriented engineering and more generally multi-agent
systems, our approach remains as generic as possible and highly extensible to easily
integrate new concepts and features.
The goal of SARL-19 is to provides a place where the different points of view on the
modeling and the simulation with agent platforms and agent programming languages may be
discussed.
SARL-19 will be held in Leuven, Belgium (April 29 - May 2, 2019) in conjunction with the
10th International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks, and Technologies (ANT 2019) and
the European SarlCon 2019.

*** INTRODUCTION ***
The big data paradigm has become an inevitable aspect of today's digital
forensics investigations. Acquiring a forensic copy of seized data
mediums already takes several hours due to the increasing storage size.
In addition are several other time-consuming laboratory analysis steps
required, such as evidence identification, corresponding data
preprocessing, analysis, linkage, and final reporting. These steps have
to be repeated for every physical device examined in the criminal case.
Conventional digital forensics data preprocessing and analysis methods
struggle when handling the contemporary variety, variability, volume and
velocity of case data. Thus, proactive approaches have to be developed
and integrated in daily law enforcement operations; for timely detection
and prevention of the illegal activities in a data-intensive
environments. Thus, there is a need for advanced big data analytics to
aid in cyber crime investigations, which requires novel approaches for
automated analysis. This workshop is organized to bring together recent
development in big data analysis to aid in current challenges in
cybercrime investigations.
*** PROPOSED TOPICS ***
