05 Jul '17

========================================================================== ** Call for Papers ** ========================================================================== Third International Workshop on Heterogeneous High-performance Reconfigurable Computing (H2RC 2017) Held in conjunction with Supercomputing 2017 Friday Morning, November 17, 2017 Denver, CO http://h2rc.cse.sc.edu ========================================================================== Submission Deadline: September 1, 2017 (one page extended abstracts) ========================================================================== As conventional von-Neumann architectures are suffering from rising power densities, we are facing an era with power, energy efficiency, and cooling as first-class constraints for scalable HPC. FPGAs can tailor the hardware to the application, avoiding overheads and achieving higher hardware efficiency than general-purpose architectures. Leading FPGA manufacturers have recently made a concerted effort to provide a range of higher-level, easier to use high-level programming models for FPGAs. Such initiatives are already stimulating new interest within the HPC community around the potential advantages of FPGAs over other architectures. With this in mind, this workshop, now in its third year, brings together HPC and heterogeneous-computing researchers to demonstrate and share experiences on legacy and new high-level programming models, optimizations specific to scientific computing and data analytics, tools for performance/energy improvements, FPGA computing in the cloud, and popular applications for reconfigurable computing such as machine learning and big data. ========================================================================== Submissions (one page extended abstract): Submissions are solicited that explore the state of the art in the use of FPGAs in heterogeneous high-performance computing architectures and, at a system level, in data centers and supercomputers. FPGAs may be considered from either or both the distributed, parallel and composable fabric of compute elements or from their dynamic reconfigurability. We particularly encourage submissions which focus on the mapping of algorithms and applications to heterogeneous FPGA-based systems as well as the overall impact of such architectures on the compute capacity, cost, power efficiency, and overall computational capabilities of data centers and supercomputers. Submissions may report on theoretical or applied research, implementation case studies, benchmarks, standards, or any other area that promises to make a significant contribution to our understanding of heterogeneous high-performance reconfigurable computing and will help to shape future research and implementations in this domain. A non-comprehensive list of potential topics of interest is given below: 1. FPGAs in Supercomputer, Cloud and Data Center: FPGAs in relation to challenges to Cloud/Data Center/Supercomputing posed by the end of Dennard scaling 2. Supercomputing, Cloud and Data Center Applications: Exploiting FPGA compute fabric to implement critical cloud/HPC applications 3. Leveraging Reconfigurability: Using reconfigurability for new approaches to algorithms used in cloud/HPC applications 4. Benchmarks: Compute performance and/or power and cost efficiency for cloud/HPC with heterogeneous architectures using FPGAs 5. Implementation Studies: Heterogenous Hardware and Management Infrastructure 6. Programming Languages/Runtimes/OS/Tools/Frameworks for Heterogeneous High Performance Reconfigurable Computing 7.

CFP IEEE SOCA 2017 - The 10th IEEE Int. Conf. on Service Oriented Computing and Applications
by Anna Kobusińska 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Call For Papers - IEEE SOCA 2017 in Kanazawa, Japan, November 22-25, 2017 The 10 th IEEE International Conference on Service Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2017) http://conferences.computer.org/soca Kanazawa, Japan, November 22-25, 2017 --------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------- Service-oriented computing (SOC) is considered today a key enabler for the development of robust and high-quality intelligent Internet-scale distributed applications. Extensive research and development in the past few years has pushed SOC technology into state-of-the-art applications in emerging areas such as Cloud computing, Internet-of-Things (IoT), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), Mobile-Edge Computing, Social computing as well as mobile and enterprise systems. However, many of the critical components on building reliable, robust, and user-centric, cloud-based service-oriented architecture applications and systems are still open for research. Hence, it is time to face new service-oriented architecture (SOA) research opportunities by addressing new research challenges on emerging applications domains like smart cities, smart logistics, smart factories and e-Health, just to mention a few. Many of the service components are deployed on resource-limited embedded systems and are performance sensitive; others are deployed on cloud servers providing highly parallel services and on edge servers in the middle of resource-limited systems and high-end servers. Edge servers and clouds are connected through various types of networks, including emerging network function virtualization services. These components are part of complex applications and systems that span multiple execution environments. Their capabilities are increasingly being managed and (re)configured via emerging software-defined and elasticity mechanisms. In addition, they have to interact with humans in order to obtain useful human-sensing data and solve complex problems. Thus, on the one hand, SOC may provide effective solutions for managing the ever-increasing complexity while meeting the challenging requirements of services on largely distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resource environments. On the other hand, the exploitation of emerging trends in such environments to build SOC applications and systems for large-scale service-based systems is an open research challenge. The 2017 IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2017 http://conferences.computer.org/soca/) provides an international forum for researchers from multiple disciplines to exchange and share their experiences, ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of service- oriented computing. The conference includes three days of parallel-track program, special-topic workshops, keynotes and tutorials, and panel discussion. We invite submissions of high-quality papers describing fully developed results or ongoing work on the following topics and related areas: -Service-oriented architectures, engineering, and applications -Cloud-based service systems -SOCA in IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems -Service Models and Applications for Mobile-Edge Computing -Service coordination techniques in IoT and cloud environments -SOC-based smart process and workflow management -Configurable, reconfigurable and software-defined service middleware -Data analytics and data services in and for SOC-based systems -IoT and data marketplaces -Smart data and service contracts -Cognitive computing techniques for SOCA -Social computing for and atop SOCA -SOCA development, deployment and testing tools and methodologies -Security and privacy for SOCA -Dependable and trustworthy SOCA -SOCA for smart applications (cities, transportation systems, factories, homes and offices, etc.) ------------------------ Important Dates ------------------------ Workshop/Special Session Proposal May 30, 2017 Workshop/Special Session Notification June 15, 2017 Paper Submission Deadline July 31, 2017 Acceptance Notification September 15, 2017 Camera-Ready Submission October 1, 2017 ---------------------------- Paper Format and Submission ---------------------------- We seek for both full and short papers.

CfP: IEEE eScience Environmental Computing Workshop (ECW) - extended deadline 14th July
by Matti Heikkurinen/LMU 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Call for Papers: Environmental Computing Workshop (ECW)- deadline extended Organised in conjunction with eScience 2017 conference October 24 - 27 2017 Auckland, New Zealand http://www.envcomp.eu/eScience2017 This workshop will bring together practitioners, policymakers, and environmental modelling experts to present the latest developments in Environmental Computing. Submissions by groups and individuals working on related – or potentially related – fields are also encouraged in order to uncover new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. The topics of interest include: • Case studies in environmental computing related domains • Environmental modelling and optimisation techniques • Novel environmental computing applications • Multi-scale, multi-model and multi-physics systems • Civil protection and related engineering challenges • Scalability of environmental HPC and Big Data applications • Risk analysis, assessment, management, and mitigation • Interdisciplinary and stakeholder collaboration • Dynamic multi-directional model coupling approaches • Multifaceted data and metadata frameworks • Urgent computing and probabilistic models • Data visualisation and interactive analysis • Uncertainty quantification and visualisation BACKGROUND Already today, many domain- or problem-specific areas – such as meteorology or seismic analysis –use multi-model, multi-data, and multi-scale approaches to analyse and study environmental phenomena and their impact. However, a more generalised approach to producing actionable knowledge from different environmental data sources is needed to build more comprehensive multi-model systems that can more readily support various decision making processes. The topic is of acute interest due to environment-related societal challenges that require generalising, productising and maturing today’s environmental modelling solutions. Imminent application areas of environmental computing include managing disasters and disaster risks, supporting prompt political decision making, and many other similar domains.

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.

ACS 2017 : The 1st International Workshop on Autonomics and Cloud Security Link: http://www.autonomic-conference.org/iccac-2017/resources/ACS/ When: Sep 18, 2017 - Sep 22, 2017 Where: The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ Submission Deadline: Jun 30, 2017 Notification Due: Jul 11, 2017 Final Version Due: Jul 21, 2017 Call For Papers: The 1st International Workshop on Autonomics and Cloud Security (ACS 2017) Co-located with the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC) and the 11th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2017) The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA -- September 18-22, 2017 Cloud computing is used by many organizations to build scalable systems in different domains, such as retail, healthcare, human resources, finance, education, and government. Our society has become more dependent on the services provided by these cloud-based systems. As a result, cyber-attacks on these cloud-based systems can have a dramatic impact on all aspects of our lives. Cloud security is an active area of research, involving many approaches for ensuring the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of data and applications hosted in the cloud. However, existing techniques for securing cloud-based systems, including autonomic-based cloud systems, are based on the assumption that people will be involved in managing them. These techniques require end user input to implement effective cybersecurity strategies to defend the systems. The emerging area of Autonomic Cybersecurity can provide solutions that complement existing cybersecurity techniques in the cloud. The goal of Autonomic Cybersecurity is to use Autonomic Computing techniques and approaches to defend computing systems. The Autonomics and Cloud Security workshop aims to investigate approaches to cloud security in general, including cloud-based autonomic systems, as well as autonomic cybersecurity approaches for defending cloud-based systems. The workshop is soliciting papers in two categories, namely, the use of autonomic computing techniques to address cloud security, and techniques and approaches for securing cloud-based autonomic systems. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in these two categories, which include, but are not limited to, the following major areas: The use of autonomic computing techniques to address cloud security: -Challenges in autonomics and cloud security and privacy -Emerging issues in autonomic cloud security -Autonomic identity and access management in cloud computing -Autonomic cybersecurity monitoring and incident response in cloud computing -Autonomic auditing and accountability in cloud computing -Autonomic approaches to usable security in cloud computing -Autonomic security protocols in cloud computing -Autonomic approaches to privacy in the cloud -Autonomic approaches for securing data and communication in the cloud -Secure autonomics-based cloud federation -Self-adaptive security policies -Self-configuration of cloud systems -Scalable cybersecurity in the cloud -Autonomic event recovery in the cloud -Autonomic approaches to moving target defense in the cloud -Autonomic approaches to cyber defense in the cloud -Autonomic approaches to intrusion detection and prevention systems in the cloud -Techniques and approaches for building resilient cloud systems -Cybersecurity in fog and edge computing -Application of big data analytics to securing the cloud -Autonomic approaches to trusted computing Techniques and approaches for securing cloud-based autonomic systems: -Cybersecurity in the cloud for supporting IoT applications -Security protocols in cloud-based autonomic systems -Techniques and approaches for privacy preservation in cloud-based autonomic systems -Event detection and forensics in cloud-based autonomic systems -Techniques and approaches for cloud-based autonomic systems resiliency -Secure computing techniques for the cloud (securing data-in-processing via Homomorphic Encryption, Secure Multi-Party Computation, and other secure computing techniques). -Techniques and approaches for anomaly detection in cloud-based autonomic systems -Scalable cybersecurity in cloud-based autonomic systems -Ethical hacking and penetration testing in cloud-based autonomic systems -Case studies in securing cloud-based systems We solicit research papers containing original research results and challenge papers motivating new research directions. In addition, the workshop will facilitate discussion and collaborative research among the participants. Submissions may be made via: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acs17 . UPDATE: A special issue on Cluster Computing (The Journal of Networks, Software Tools and Applications) will include an extension of the best papers of all the workshops that will be held in conjunction with ICCAC 2017.
