CfP VHPC19: HPC Virtualization-Containers: Paper due May 1, 2019 (extended)
by Michael Alexander 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 14th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '19) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 16-20, 2019, Frankfurt, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ==================================================================== Date: June 20, 2019 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Paper Submission Deadline: May 1, 2019 (extended) Springer LNCS, rolling abstract submission Abstract/Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25685 Call for Papers 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 manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications 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 take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume. 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 the cloud.

SI Big Data Semantics IJDS
by Paolo Ceravolo 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

JOURNAL ON DATA SEMANTICS SPECIAL ISSUE: BIG DATA SEMANTICS 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 JOURNAL ON DATA SEMANTICS • 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.

01 Apr '19

CALL FOR PAPERS (Extended Deadline - Firm) SOCIAL MEDIA SENSING WORKSHOP July 29 – August 1, 2019 Valencia, Spain in conjunction with the 28th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2019) http://www.cs.unibo.it/~mirri/sms19/ http://www.icccn.org/icccn19/index.html SUBMISSION DEADLINE April, 14, 2019 (FIRM) https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icccn2019 PUBLICATION IEEE Proceedings SCOPE Billions of users daily interact with social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. The checking of the preferred social media platform is becoming the first thing to do at wake-up time, and the last thing to do before falling asleep. With no doubts, social media revolutionized the content ecosystem and the behavior of millions of people. Within social media, people communicate, collaborate and share information, and within Online Social Media Data (OSMD), it is possible to find contents and metadata about people, brands, products, services, personal preferences, issues, etc. Not surprisingly, OSMD are being used to understand people’s opinions and to measure citizens’ feelings. Indeed, this knowledge represents a critical factor in strategic decision processes, as it may be helpful in identifying problems and strengthening strategies. For instance, politicians may gauge the public mood to improve their political decisions, enterprise managers may increase customers engagement by tracking what people think about products and services, city administrators may analyze citizens’ opinions to enhance the life quality of the city, advertisers can improve the effectiveness of their messages by analyzing what people think of a brand. The use of OSMD to get insights about people and society is not trivial and covers many different disciplines, like computer science, social engineering, psychology, semiotics, and economics. Topics: The workshop is seeking recent advances, novel proposals, best-practices, pitfalls and case studies in Social Media Sensing from different and inter-disciplinary points of view. In particular, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Accessibility of social media contents Advances in Social Media Big Data Analysis for OSMD Business Intelligence using OSMD Chatbots and ChatScript Cloud Computing Data Mining and Machine Learning for OSMD Decision-making models and OSMD Economics and Social effects Emotion recognition and description Event forecasting based on OSMD data Fake news detection Games and Social Media Health care services and applications Image Analysis IoT sensing with human-in-the-loop Lexicon Design Prediction Analysis Privacy and Security in OSMD Recommendation systems for OSMD Reputation and Trust Semantic Web Sentiment Analysis Smart City Society Sensing Social Graph Analysis Social Media Trust Text Analytics Ubiquitous and pervasive crowd-sensing Video Analysis GENERAL CHAIRS: Marco Furini, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy Silvia Mirri, University of Bologna, Italy

*** Apologies for multiple copies *** ================================================================================ C a l l F o r P a p e r s IEEE TRANSACTION ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS Special Section: Security and Privacy in Industry 4.0 URL: ================================================================================ Industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the Information Technologies (ITs) with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders [4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. This way of connecting entities with the “smart world” and the interconnection of different Industry 4.0 domains based on the new paradigms and heterogeneous technologies such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or edge computing infrastructures (cloud/fog computing systems), certainly, opens the door to coexistence problems and novel exploitations. Diverse vulnerabilities and risks may significantly grow according to the new adaptations and the participation of stakeholders, generating a need to further research protection issues required to safeguard the operational processes and ensure a secure and resilient and dependable cohesion between IT and OT systems, including physical entities. For this reason, industries, governments and scientific communities are increasingly drawing a special attention to competitive advantages that Industry 4.0 can bring about business sustainability and economy of a country. The tendency to couple the ITs with the existing Operational Technologies (OTs) adds new opportunities to improve and optimize operational processes, products and services in which multiple stakeholders [4], among them, end-users, can interact with the new industrial ecosystems to speed up and customize processes. In this sense, Industry 4.0 constitutes a relevant investment source composed of a complex technological showcase in which multiple connections and accesses can arise, seriously impacting on the well performance of the different production and distribution chains associated with smart factories and manufacturing, smart grid systems, smart vehicles or smart health environments. The aim of this special issue is therefore to bring together researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas of computing and security to cover, from a holistic point of view, the topics related to secure coupling of the new ITs with operational networks, without discarding aspects on privacy. This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics: • Security and privacy analysis and requirements in Industry 4.0 • Secure management and governance of Industry 4.0 operational services and systems • Vulnerabilities and risk assessment in manufacturing and automation systems • Advanced threat models, cyber-crime or cyber-espionage for Industry 4.0 • Dependable and secure Industry 4.0 architectures by design • Lightweight cryptography and key management in Industry 4.0 • Identity management and access control for Industry 4.0 domains • Secure interoperability, mobility and coexistence between systems, including users • Prevention, awareness and resilience models for Industry 4.0 advanced threats • Secure context management and accountability for Industry 4.0 domains • Data preservation and privacy models for Industry 4.0 • Trust management and trusted computing models for Industry 4.0. • Secure cloud/fog-assisted manufacturing and predictive maintenance services ---------------- Important Dates ---------------- * Deadline for manuscript submissions June 30, 2019 * Expected publication date (tentative) November 2019 ---------------------------- Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------- Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics .

EUSIPCO 2019 SATELLITE WORKSHOP ON SIGNAL PROCESSING, COMPUTER VISION AND DEEP LEARNING FOR AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS A CORUNA, SPAIN, SEPTEMBER 6th 2019 CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP SUMMARY During the last years we are witnessing a constantly increasing use and interest for Autonomous Systems (AS) such as UAVs, humanoid robots, cars, marine and underwater vessels, etc. This is due to their numerous applications in transport, surveillance, mapping, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, cinematography etc. Successful deployment of autonomous systems involves tackling a number of interesting and challenging topics such as AS localization, planning, action and mapping, analysis of visual data coming from AS sensors for human centric or environment active perception and cognition, privacy protection technologies in AS data, 3D data (e.g. LIDAR) processing and analysis, communication issues for AS, sensor fusion, multimodal interfaces etc. These tasks can be addressed by using several methodologies from the areas of signal/image/video processing and analysis, computer vision and machine learning (including deep learning) provided that they respect several constraints and limitations inherent to AS, such as real-time operation, limited available computing resources on board the AS, need for robustness in real-life scenarios etc. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, engineers and computer scientists working in the areas of signal/image/video processing and analysis, computer vision, and machine learning for AS to present and discuss recent developments and trends in this exciting area. The workshop will consist of 2-3 invited talks by prominent researchers and oral presentations featuring research papers. The workshop is technically sponsored by the H2020 Project MULTIDRONE (www.multidrone.eu). PAPER TOPICS Papers describing novel work are solicited in the following areas (non-exhaustive list): * Signal/image/video processing and analysis for autonomous systems * Machine learning for autonomous systems * Deep learning for autonomous systems * Computer vision for autonomous systems * Human centric active perception and cognition for autonomous systems (person/face/body part detection/recognition and pose estimation, person/face/body part tracking, human activity recognition, social signal -facial expressions, gestures etc- analysis and recognition, speech and biosignals analysis and recognition) * Environment active perception and cognition for autonomous systems (object detection/recognition and semantic scene segmentation and understanding, 2D/3D object tracking, 3D scene reconstruction, sensor information fusion) * Autonomous systems localization, planning, navigation, action and control * Embedded computing approaches for processing (computer vision, deep learning, etc) on autonomous systems * Intelligent cinematography using drones and other autonomous systems * Signal processing, computer vision and deep learning for autonomous systems safety (obstacle detection and avoidance, drone landing site detection, crowd and pedestrian detection and localization, road sign/lane detection/recognition etc) * Privacy protection and compliance to ethics regulations * Robust and secure mobile communications for autonomous systems * Signal enhancement, compression and transmission for autonomous systems IMPORTANT DATES * Full Paper Submission: April 30, 2019 * Notification of Paper Acceptance: May 24, 2019 * Camera Ready Papers: June 7, 2019 * Workshop: September 6, 2019 SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCEDURE Prospective authors shall submit their papers using EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=24822 ).
