(CALL FOR PAPERS) PAW-ATM: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X
by Morris, Karla NMN 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

**************************************************************** Call for Papers [cid:image001.png@01D96560.745F9FF0] PAW-ATM 2023: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X Held in conjunction with SC23, Denver, CO https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ Submissions deadline: July 24, 2023 Notification to authors: August 31, 2023 Workshop date: November 12-17, 2023 **************************************************************** SUMMARY As supercomputers become more and more powerful, the number and diversity of applications that can be tackled with these machines grows. Unfortunately, the architectural complexity of these supercomputers grows as well, with heterogeneous processors, multiple levels of memory hierarchy, and many ways to move data and synchronize between processors. The MPI+X programming model, use of which is considered by many to be standard practice, demands that a programmer be expert in both the application domain and the low-level details of the architecture(s) on which that application will be deployed, and the availability of such superhuman programmers is a critical bottleneck. Things become more complicated when evolution and change in the underlying architecture translates into significant re-engineering of the MPI+X code to maintain performance. Numerous alternatives to the MPI+X model exist, and by raising the level of abstraction on the application domain and/or the target architecture, they offer the ability for "mere mortal" programmers to take advantage of the supercomputing resources that are available to advance science and tackle urgent real-world problems. However, compared to the MPI+X approach, these alternatives generally lack two things. First, they aren't as well known as MPI+X and a domain scientist may simply not be aware of models that are a good fit to their domain. Second, they are less mature than MPI+X and likely have more functionality or performance "potholes" that need only be identified to be addressed. PAW-ATM is a forum for discussing HPC applications written in alternatives to MPI+X. Its goal is to bring together application experts and proponents of high-level languages to present concrete example uses of such alternatives, describing their benefits and challenges. SCOPE AND AIMS The PAW-ATM workshop is designed to be a forum for discussion of supercomputing-scale parallel applications and their implementation in programming models outside of the dominant MPI+X paradigm. Papers and talks will explore the benefits (or perhaps drawbacks) of implementing specific applications with alternatives to MPI+X, whether those benefits are in performance, scalability, productivity, or some other metric important to that application domain. Presenters are encouraged to generalize the experience with their application to other domains in science and engineering and to bring up specific areas of improvement for the model(s) used in the implementation. In doing so, our hope is to create a setting in which application authors, language designers, and architects can present and discuss the state of the art in alternative scalable programming models, while also wrestling with how to increase their effectiveness and adoption. Beyond well-established HPC scientific simulations, we also encourage submissions exploring artificial intelligence, big data analytics, machine learning, and other emerging application areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel application development using high-level parallel programming languages and frameworks. * Examples that demonstrate performance, compiler optimization, error checking, and reduced software complexity. * Applications from artificial intelligence, data analytics, bioinformatics, and other novel areas. * Performance evaluation of applications developed using alternatives to MPI+X and comparisons to standard programming models. * Novel algorithms enabled by high-level parallel abstractions. * Experience with the use of new compilers and runtime environments. * Libraries using or supporting alternatives to MPI+X. * Benefits of hardware abstraction and data locality on algorithm implementation. Papers that include description of applications that demonstrate the use of alternative programming models will be given higher priority. SUBMISSIONS Submissions are solicited in 2 categories: 1) Full-length papers presenting novel research results: Full-length papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers must describe original work that has not appeared in, nor is under consideration for, another conference or journal. Papers shall be eight (8) pages minimum and not exceed ten (10) pages including text, appendices, and figures, but excluding bibliography and acknowledgments. 2) Extended abstracts summarizing preliminary/published results: Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and will not be included in the published proceedings; they are intended to propose timely communications of novel work that will be formally submitted elsewhere at a later stage, and/or of already published work that would be of interest to the PAW-ATM audience in terms of topic and timeliness. Extended abstracts shall not exceed four (4) pages. When deciding between manuscript submissions with similar merit, submissions whose focus relates more directly to the key themes of the workshop (application studies, computing at scale, high-level alternatives to MPI+X) will be given priority over those that don't. Submissions shall be submitted through Linklings: https://submissions.supercomputing.org Submissions must use 10pt font in the IEEE format: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html PAW-ATM follows the reproducibility initiative of SC23. Submissions shall include an Artifact Description (AD) appendix. The appendix pages related to the reproducibility initiative dependencies are not included in the page count.

From law to science, economics to engineering, humanities to media studies, the university provides academic pathways to a range of professions as well as post- graduate and specialist courses tailor made to meet the needs of the workplace. Eight Departments providing services and information for students, as well as thirty-three Research Centres throughout the Salento area. The University of Salento has grown rapidly in recent years, consolidating and reinforcing its role as the keystone of the local cultural and social system. It also has a Ph.d. School and Post-graduate schools for Cultural Heritage and for the Legal Professions. The prestigious ISUFI Grandes écoles school offers high-level undergraduate and postgraduate courses for scholarship students to promote excellence. Who we are looking for We are seeking for exceptional, talented applicants committed to work in the context of the European project InnoCyPES (Innovative Tools for Cyber-Physical Energy Systems), a Marie Curie Action Innovative Training Network providing world-leading and transferable scientific training to a new generation of 15 high-achieving early stage researchers (ESRs). In the course of their training, they will study, investigate and improve various facets of digitalized and interconnected energy systems. Supervised by a consortium of prominent and experienced academic institutions, research institutes and industrial partners, they will collaboratively develop a cutting-edge system management platform that covers the entire lifecycle of data for energy system planning, operation and maintenance, based on an understanding of the energy system as a cyber-physical system. The ESR research activity will be carried out on premises mainly at the University of Salento. We invite applications from candidates working in the field of Computer Science, who have experience and strong knowledge with regard to data management (database etc), distributed systems, Peer-to-Peer systems and blockchains, and who have a strong interest in the research topic, covering large scale data management and integration. Excellent programming skills in C/C++ in the Unix environment are also required. We are aware of the fact that knowing all the subjects listed above is even very difficult for a Master of Science student. Therefore, highly motivated students who know some of the above subjects listed above are encouraged to apply. Prospective candidates must not have resided or carried out the main activity of study/work in Italy for more than 12 months during the 3 years preceding the date of the beginning of the contract. Additional requirements are listed in the official public call. The successful candidate will work in close cooperation with prof. Massimo Cafaro and the members of the High Performance Computing Laboratory at the University of Salento. Two secondments of four months each at partners institutions are scheduled, along with the participation in schools and workshops organised within the framework of the InnoCyPES project. Moreover, the candidate will be given ample opportunity to publish his/her scientific results and present them at international conferences. The research grant will cover the ESR position for 30 months. Additional funding may be obtained by project’s partners covering a further six months to be spent in their laboratories. Details Position: research grant at the Department of Engineering for Innovation, University of Salento, Lecce, Italy Duration: 30 months Deadline for application: April 6, 2023 Remuneration: The research grant will last 30 (thirty) months. The annual remuneration, gross of charges to be borne by the beneficiary and inclusive of contributions and social security charges to be borne by the University of Salento, consists of the following items: 1. Living allowance: Euro 40,966.56 (forty thousand nine hundred and sixty-six/56); 2. Mobility allowance: Euro 7.200,00 (seven thousand two hundred/00); 3. Family allowance: 3.1. Euro 0 (zero) per researcher without family obligations; 3.2. Euro 6,000.00 (six thousand/00) for researchers with family obligations (married or with a relationship recognised by Italian law or that of the country of origin or with dependent children). Scientific Supervisor: Prof. Massimo Cafaro Research topic: Large scale data management and integration This is a 30 months “Marie Curie ETN Early Stage Researcher position” on the following topic. The sheer quantum of data being created and collected across jurisdictions requires a carefully planned and proactive approach to data management. The need for fusion and integration of multiple data sources characterized by fragmented data ownership is driving innovative approaches to large scale distributed data management and integration to avoid inconsistent and inaccurate data. The aim is to investigate, design and implement a fully decentralized solution to provide efficient management of dynamically updated information and support for distributed queries. One or more domain specific use cases shall be identified within the context of the project, considering both the current and future needs of some of the involved partners. These nicely fit into the research plan, owing to the need of surveying the user’s requirements to begin with; simultaneously, the uses cases can also be thought of as sources of advanced data management challenges.

CFP: The 10th Int. Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2023)
by MobiWIS Conference 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

---------------------Call for Papers [Deadline Extended]--------------------- The 10th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2023) Hybrid Event, Marrakesh, Morocco 14-16 August 2023 http://www.ficloud.org/2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.
