************************************************
Call for Papers
PAW-ATM:
Parallel Applications Workshop,
Alternatives To MPI
Held in conjunction with SC 18, Dallas, TX
In cooperation with: IEEE and TCHPC
<http://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/>
************************************************
Summary
As high-performance computing hardware incorporates increasing levels of
heterogeneity, hierarchical organization, and complexity, parallel programming
techniques necessarily grow in complexity or in their ability to abstract
away complexity. The concurrent development of multi- and many-core processors,
deep memory hierarchies, and accelerators and the variety of ways to combine these
makes the low-level language route unmanageable for domain experts tasked with
developing applications. The technologies that a competent developer might be
expected to master and combine include MPI plus CUDA, OpenMP, and OpenACC, most
commonly denoted MPI + X. This approach inherently saddles the developer with
low-level details that might better be handled by high-level abstractions.
Higher-level parallel programming models offer rich sets of abstractions that
feel natural in the intended applications. Such languages and tools include
(Fortran, UPC, Julia), systems for large-scale data processing and analytics
(Spark, Tensorflow, Dask), and frameworks and libraries that extend existing
languages (Charm++, Unified Parallel C++ (UPC++), Coarray C++, HPX, Legion,
Global Arrays). While there are tremendous differences between these
approaches, all strive to support better programmer abstractions for concerns
such as data parallelism, task parallelism, dynamic load balancing, and data
placement across the memory hierarchy.
This workshop will bring together applications experts who will present concrete
practical examples of using such alternatives to MPI in order to illustrate the
benefits of high-level approaches to scalable programming. The workshop expands
upon the two similar workshops, PAW16 and PAW17, by broadening the theme beyond
partitioned global address space languages. We invite you to take part in the
Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI, and to join this vibrant
and diverse community of researchers and developers.
Scope and Aims
The scope of the PAW-ATM workshop is to provide a forum for exhibiting
case studies of higher-level programming models as MPI alternatives in
the context of applications as a means of better understanding applications
of MPI alternatives. We encourage the submission of papers and talks
detailing such applications, including characterizations of scalability
and performance, of expressiveness and programmability, as well as any
downsides or areas for improvement in existing higher-level programming models.
In addition to informing other application programmers about the
potential that is available through MPI alternatives, the workshop is
designed to communicate these experiences to compiler vendors,
library developers, and system architects in order to achieve broader
support for high-level approaches to scalable programming.
We also specifically encourage submissions covering big data
analytics, deep learning, and other novel and emerging application
areas, beyond well-established HPC domains.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Novel application development using parallel programming languages.
* Examples that demonstrate performance, compiler
optimization, error checking, and reduced software complexity.
* Applications from big data analytics, bioinformatics, and other
novel areas.
* Performance evaluation of applications developed using MPI alternatives.
* Algorithmic models enabled by high-level parallel abstractions.
* Experience with the use of new compiler and runtime environments.
* Libraries using or supporting MPI alternatives.
* Benefits of hardware abstraction and data
locality on algorithm implementation.
Submissions
Submissions are solicited in two categories:
Full-length papers presenting novel research results:
* Full-length papers will be published in the workshop
proceedings in cooperation with IEEE TCHPC. Submitted papers
must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under
consideration for another conference or a journal. Papers shall
not exceed ten (10) pages including text, appendices,
and figures. Appendix pages related to the reproducibility
initiative not included.
Extended abstracts summarizing published/preliminary results:
* Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and will
not be included in the published proceedings; they are intended
for timely communications of novel work that is going to be
formally submitted elsewhere at a later stage, and/or of already
published work that is nonetheless deemed appropriate for
dissemination in this venue.
Extended abstracts shall not exceed four (4) pages.
Preferential treatment will be given to full-length paper submissions.
Accepted full-length papers will be given longer presentation
slots at the workshop than the abstract-only option.
Submissions shall be submitted through Linklings
( https://submissions.supercomputing.org ).
Submissions must use 10pt fonts in the IEEE format
( https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html ).
The page limit (8 pages minimum for publication) includes figures,
tables, and your appendices, but does not include references,
for which there is no page limit. Reproducibility initiative dependencies
(Artifact Description or Computational Results Analysis)
are also not included in the page limit.

CALL FOR PAPERS
2018 marks the Silver Anniversary of HiPC as we broaden the technical
program to specifically include topics related to data science. The
conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed
researchers from all over the world and receives strong industry support
from companies operating globally and also established in India. In
addition to the two days of industry exhibits, the sponsoring partners to
the conference hold industry symposiums to bring together providers and
users of HPC in a forum for presenting state-of-the-art in HPC platforms
and technologies, for discussing best practices, and for exchanging
experiences. In the last couple years, HiPC has added workshops to its
technical program and along with a Student Research Symposium and academic
Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, and the conference makes room for a broad
list of topics to be addressed in these tracks:
Algorithms
Architectures

GraMSec 2018
The Fifth International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security
Oxford, UK - July 8, 2018
http://gramsec.uni.lu/
Co-located with CSF 2018 (https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/csf2018/)
In conjunction with FLoC 2018 (http://www.floc2018.org/)
******************************************************************
ABOUT GraMSec
The use of graphical security models to represent and analyse the
security of systems has gained an increasing research attention over the
last two decades. Formal methods and computer security researchers, as
well as security professionals from the industry and government, have
proposed various graphical security models, metrics, and measurements.
Graphical models are used to capture different security facets and
address a range of challenges including security assessment, automated
defence, secure services composition, security policy validation, and
verification. The objective of GraMSec is to contribute to the
development of well-founded graphical security models, efficient
algorithms for their analysis, as well as methodologies and tools for
their practical usage.
