WSCC 2023: Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum (co-located with EuroPar 2023)
by Matteo Nardelli 28 Mar '23

28 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. They should be between a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 12 pages. * Special Issue Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the Special Issue of the Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems on “Scalable Compute Continuum”.

[DEADLINE APPROACHING] ACM SNTA’23 - The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics
by Massimo Cafaro 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (ACM SNTA’23) in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2023 (http://www.hpdc.org/2023/) Orlando, Florida, United States, June 16 - 23, 2023 Scope: The tasks of systems and network telemetry are a key element for effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing systems, by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities to provide the visibility into what is occurring at any time. The tasks will be significantly complicated with the greater complexity of computing systems, increasing network speed, and the newly introduced mobile and IoT devices. Such changes will render the existing telemetry and analysis techniques outdated, and more scalable techniques may be in place for data-driven and deeper data analysis. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative challenges, data pressure in systems and networks also comes from various sources such as sensors, computing systems, networking and security devices, and other emerging computing elements speaking with different syntax and semantics, which makes organizing and incorporating the generated data difficult for extensive analysis. This workshop aims at bridging the systems and network measurement and the latest advances in artificial intelligence and data science technologies, to advance the performance and reliability of HPC and distributed systems. New analysis techniques are needed in the modern world, from the diverse angles of systems/network performance, availability, and security. For example, real-time streaming analytics algorithms and methods need to be explored for estimating network performance and summarizing the traffic variables to capture the network activities due to the network bandwidth increase. Multivariate analysis of telemetric variables may be able to provide an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed in the future with the latest development in the storage and archival technologies. In addition, many applications in this area may need to address the application-specific requirements and challenges. This workshop intends to share visions of investigating new approaches and methods at the intersection of data sciences and HPC/distributed computing systems. Topic of interest (but not limited to): - Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization - Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing - Distributed and federated machine learning - Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization - Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs - Wireless, sensor, 5G/6G networks measurement and analysis - Software/knowledge-defined-* technologies - Advances in network and storage technologies - Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications - Performance modeling, analysis, and engineering - Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems - Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis Important dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2023 Author notification: April 14, 2023 Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2023 Paper submission: All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Authors are invited to submit either a full (max 8 pages) paper or a short/work-in-progress (max 4 pages) paper. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library.

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

23 Mar '23

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 Sajal K.

The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (ACM SNTA’23)
by Massimo Cafaro 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Call for Papers The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (ACM SNTA’23) in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2023 (http://www.hpdc.org/2023/) Orlando, Florida, United States, June 16 - 23, 2023 Scope: The tasks of systems and network telemetry are a key element for effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing systems, by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities to provide the visibility into what is occurring at any time. The tasks will be significantly complicated with the greater complexity of computing systems, increasing network speed, and the newly introduced mobile and IoT devices. Such changes will render the existing telemetry and analysis techniques outdated, and more scalable techniques may be in place for data-driven and deeper data analysis. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative challenges, data pressure in systems and networks also comes from various sources such as sensors, computing systems, networking and security devices, and other emerging computing elements speaking with different syntax and semantics, which makes organizing and incorporating the generated data difficult for extensive analysis. This workshop aims at bridging the systems and network measurement and the latest advances in artificial intelligence and data science technologies, to advance the performance and reliability of HPC and distributed systems. New analysis techniques are needed in the modern world, from the diverse angles of systems/network performance, availability, and security. For example, real-time streaming analytics algorithms and methods need to be explored for estimating network performance and summarizing the traffic variables to capture the network activities due to the network bandwidth increase. Multivariate analysis of telemetric variables may be able to provide an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed in the future with the latest development in the storage and archival technologies. In addition, many applications in this area may need to address the application-specific requirements and challenges. This workshop intends to share visions of investigating new approaches and methods at the intersection of data sciences and HPC/distributed computing systems. Topic of interest (but not limited to): - Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization - Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing - Distributed and federated machine learning - Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization - Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs - Wireless, sensor, 5G/6G networks measurement and analysis - Software/knowledge-defined-* technologies - Advances in network and storage technologies - Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications - Performance modeling, analysis, and engineering - Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems - Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis Important dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2023 Author notification: April 14, 2023 Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2023 Paper submission: All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Authors are invited to submit either a full (max 8 pages) paper or a short/work-in-progress (max 4 pages) paper. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library.

WSCC 2023: Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum (co-located with EuroPar 2023)
by Matteo Nardelli 15 Mar '23

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. They should be between a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 12 pages. * Special Issue Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the Special Issue of the Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems on “Scalable Compute Continuum”.

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.

WSCC 2023: Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum (co-located with EuroPar 2023)
by Matteo Nardelli 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '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. They should be between a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 12 pages. * Special Issue Authors of the accepted papers at the workshop will be invited to submit an extension of their work to the Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum already accepted at Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems. * Important Dates May 5th, 2023 Paper submission deadline June 19th, 2023 Paper acceptance notifications July 2nd, 2023 Camera-ready due * Workshop Co-Chairs - Valeria Cardellini, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy - Patrizio Dazzi, University of Pisa, Italy - Gabriele Mencagli, University of Pisa, Italy - Matteo Nardelli, Bank of Italy, Italy - Massimo Torquati, University of Pisa, Italy Looking forward to receiving your excellent submissions soon.

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.

LAHBY Editor ========================================================= CALL FOR CHAPTERS Combating Cyberbullying in Digital Media with Artificial Intelligence To be Published by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis, USA URL: https://sites.google.com/view/cbai-book/home-page Chapter Submission Deadline: 31 March, 2023 EDITORS Mohamed Lahby, University Hassan II, Casablanca, Morocco - lahby(a)ieee.org Al-Sakib Khan Pathan, United International University, Bangladesh - sakib.pathan(a)gmail.com Yassine Maleh, Sultan Moulay Slimane University, Morocco - yassine.maleh(a)gmail.com SCOPE With the advancement of electronics and information technologies, digital media platforms and virtual space have become a significant part of human life today. 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. TOPICS Cyberbullying: State-of-the-Art Survey - Overview of Machine Learning Techniques - Overview Deep Learning Techniques - Overview on Cyberbullying Features Detection/Prevention - Cyberbullying in Online Unstructured Data - Cyberbullying sources and Social Media Artificial Intelligence for Cyberbullying detection - Machine Learning and Ensemble Learning Approaches - Deep Learning Models - Text-Mining and Sentiment Analysis Techniques - Graph Optimization Algorithms - Explainable Artificial Intelligence - Cyberbullying Detection Techniques and Coronavirus Epidemic.

VHPC'23 - 18th Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing Workshop - Call for Papers
by Tommaso Cucinotta 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

[apologies for cross-postings] 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 April 19th. Accepted papers will be published on Springer LNCS series, and indexed by Scopus, among others. 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. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations.
