09 Aug '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: 26 August 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: 26 August 2019 (EXTENDED) Paper acceptance notification: 20 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).

JoDS Special Issue on Big Data Semantics
by Paolo Ceravolo 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

# JOURNAL ON DATA SEMANTICS ## SPECIAL ISSUE: BIG DATA SEMANTICS https://homes.di.unimi.it/ceravolo/Call-BDS-JDS.pdf ### Call for papers The complexity of Big Data applications in conjunction with the lack of standards for representing their components, computations, and processes, have made the design of data-intensive applications a failure prone and resource-intensive activity. One of the reasons behind it can be identified in a lack of sound modeling practices. Indeed, multiple components and procedures must be coordinated to ensure a high level of data quality and accessibility for the application layers, e.g. data analytics and reporting. We believe that a major challenges of Big Data research requires - even more than developing new analytics - devising innovative data management techniques capable to deliver functional and non-functional properties like among others: data quality, data integration, metadata discovery, reconciliation and augmentation, model compliance, or regulatory compliance. Data Semantics research can address such challenges in future research according to the FAIR principles, for implementing design procedures that generate Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable data. Methods, principles, and perspectives developed by the Data Semantics community can significantly contribute to this goal. Solutions for integrating and querying schema-less data, for example, have received much attention. Standards for metadata management have been proposed to improve data integration among silos and to make data more discoverable and accessible through heterogeneous infrastructures. A further level of application of Data Semantics principles into Big Data technologies involves Representing Processes, i.e. representing the entire pipeline of technologies connected to achieve a specific solution and make this representation shareable and verifiable to support a mature implementation of the Big Data production cycle. This special issue of the Journal on Data Semantics aims at sharing research and practical achievements in the field of Big Data integration, storage, and processing. Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to: • Big Data Management • Metadata Management • Big Data Persistence and Preservation • Big Data Quality and Provenance Control • Big Data Storage and Retrieval • Big Data Integration Architectures and Techniques • Data Source Discovery • Big Data Profiling and Semantics Discovery • Querying Heterogeneous Big Data Repositories • Caching and Materializing Query Results • Quality of Big Data Services • Big Data Service Performance Evaluation • Big Data Service Reliability and Availability • Reproducibility of Big Data Services • Verifiability of Big Data Services • Assurance in Big Data Services • Big Data Visualization • Real Time Visualisation • Visualization Analytics for Big Data • Big Social Media Mining • Big Data Security and Privacy • Big Data System Security and Integrity • Big Data Information Security • Privacy-Preserving Big Data Analytics • Usable Security and Privacy for Big Data • Performance of Big Data Architectures • Query Optimization • Optimal Selection of Analytics • Physical Structures ## Guest Editors Paolo Ceravolo, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Robert Wrembel, Poznan University of Technology, Poland Sylvio Barbon Junior, State University of Londrina, Brazil ## Editorial Board Antonia Azzini, Consortium for the Technology Transfer (C2T), Italy Clodis Boscarioli, State University of West Paraná - UNIOESTE, Brazil Fadila Bentayeb, Université Lyon 2, France Omar Boussaid, Université Lyon 2, France Philippe Cudre-Mauroux, University of Fribourg, Switzerland Jerome Darmont, Université Lyon 2, France Luke Immes, University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA Maurice van Keulen, University of Twente, The Netherlands Mariangela Lazoi, University of Salento, Italy Marcello Leida, StrabioDB, Spain M.

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. Much of the work in FPGA-based deep learning is built on these frameworks. 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 fifth year, brings together HPC and heterogeneous-computing researchers to demonstrate and share experiences on how newly-available high-level programming models, including OpenCL, are already empowering HPC software developers to directly leverage FPGAs, and to identify future opportunities and needs for research in this area. ========================================================================== Submission Tracks and Contribution Selection: ========================================================================== Submissions are solicited for two tracks: Track 1: Full-length papers (8 pages) for 25-minute oral presentation and publication in proceedings archived by IEEE TCHPC. Track 2: Extended abstracts (4 pages) for 15-minute oral presentation without publication. Track 1 is targeted at technical papers containing a high level of implementation detail and analysis discussion of experimental results. Track 1 is suited for members of the academic and national lab community who prefer to have their work peer-reviewed, indexed and archived by IEEE. Track 2 is targeted at industrial contributions that describe new capabilities and opportunities offered by emerging technologies and products, or work in progress presentations by the academic and national lab community. The emphasis of this track is to initiate a discussion with the audience. All submissions are reviewed and evaluated by at least three members of our technical program committee. From the TPC evaluation of each submission, the organizing committee will select papers for presentation based on a criteria that equally weighs scientific merit and level of interest and relevance to the HPC community. ========================================================================== Topics: ========================================================================== 1. Improvement of performance or efficiency of HPC or data center applications with FPGAs 2. System integration of FPGAs in clouds and HPC systems 3. Leveraging reconfigurability 4. Benchmarks 6. Programming languages, tools, and frameworks 7. Future-gazing ========================================================================== Important dates: ========================================================================== Submission Deadline: August 15, 2019 Acceptance Notification: September 15, 2019 Camera-ready Manuscripts Due: October 11, 2019 Workshop Date: November 17, 2019 ========================================================================== Organizing Committee: ========================================================================== Jason D.

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS First international workshop on HPC for Urgent Decision making (UrgentHPC) In conjunction with SC19: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, Sunday afternoon November 17, 2019, Denver, Colorado, USA. In cooperation with IEEE TCHPC. https://www.urgenthpc.com ======================================================================== Paper submission deadline: August 14, 2019 (AoE) Author notification: September 10, 2019 Camera ready deadline: September 30, 2019 Scope ===== Responding to disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, extreme flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, winter weather conditions, and accidents; technological advances are creating exciting new opportunities that have the potential to move HPC well beyond traditional computational workloads. Whilst HPC has a long history of simulating disasters, whatís missing to support emergency, urgent, decision making is fast, real-time acquisition of data and the ability to guarantee time constraints. Our ability to capture data continues to grow very significantly, and combining high velocity data and live analytics with HPC models can aid in urgently responding to real-world problems, ultimately saving lives and reducing economic loss. It's not just responding to disasters, but also making urgent decisions addressing more general issues such as human health emergencies and global diseases. The challenges here are significant, but if HPC can be proven as a tool in responding to these real-world issues, the impact for our community is huge. Leveraging HPC for urgent decision making requires expertise in a wide range of areas, from dealing with real-time data, to experience in generating results within a specific time frame (real-time constraints), and generating visualizations enabling front-line decision makers to make correct choices first time, every time. It isn't just technical challenges, but also policy issues that also need to be considered such as utilizing our HPC machines in a more interactive manner to enable the urgent exploration of numerous disaster responses. This workshop will bring together stakeholders, researchers and practitioners from across the HPC community to identify and tackle issues involved in using HPC for urgent decision making. Success stories, case-studies and challenges will be shared, with the goal of further building up a community around leveraging HPC as an important tool in urgently responding to disasters and societal challenges. Call for Papers ============ We invite you to submit both full and hot-topic research papers detailing original work in the area of using HPC for making urgent decisions. Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to): * Example use-cases and case-studies that use HPC for urgent decision making * Techniques for integrating HPC workflows with real-time data * Approaches to verify and validate unreliable real-time data, for instance from sensors, IoT and satellites * System design for data reduction and pre-processing at source, for instance using edge computing and heterogeneous resources such as FPGAs * The use of data formats and conversion techniques to support the handling of data from numerous and diverse sources * Algorithmic techniques to guarantee result generation in specific time frames, such as result refinement which generates more accurate results as time progresses * Studies of leveraging HPC for workloads with real-time time constraints * Changes to existing HPC technologies and policies that are required to support using HPC interactively * The ability for HPC codes to adapt their resource requirements dynamically, for instance via elastic compute * Visualization and presentation techniques to support rapid and accurate urgent decision making by the end user * Reduction and feature extraction of results to highlight critical issues of interest * Complimenting results with provenance data for additional context and certainty * Data analysis techniques for making urgent decisions in response to disasters Paper Submission Guidelines ====================== * Papers should be submitted electronically via the SC19 Submission Page (https://submissions.supercomputing.org). * All papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers published via IEEE TCHPC * Papers will be published via IEEE TCHPC and as such they must follow the IEEE formatting, templates available athttp://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.h… * Full paper submissions are limited to 10 pages and hot-topic submissions 4 pages. The page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit. * Submitted papers should not have appeared in or be under consideration for a different workshop, conference or journal. * In submitting the paper, the authors acknowledge that at least one author of an accepted submission will register for and attend the workshop.
