11 Mar '17

The first International Workshop on Parallel Data Mining (WPDM 2017) CALL FOR PAPERS As part of The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2017) http://hpcs2017.cisedu.info or http://cisedu.us/rp/hpcs17 July 17 – July 21, 2017 Genoa, Italy Submission Deadline: March 20, 2017 Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel Data Mining is an international forum which … [View More]brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelising existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organisation and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimising data dependences. Another concern is related to minimising synchronisation and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimised as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Scalable message-passing parallel data mining algorithms using MPI - Scalable shared-memory parallel data mining algorithms using OpenMP - Scalable hybrid MPI + OpenMP parallel data mining algorithms - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Exploiting modern parallel architectures including FPGA for parallel data mining applications - Map-reduce based parallel data mining algorithms - Middleware for high-performance data mining on grid and cloud environments - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimisation techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to synergy between parallel computing, optimisation and simulation.

DEADLINE REMINDER - Contributed Paper Deadline is April 7, 2017 One month left to submit contributed papers to the Winter Simulation Conference. Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) 2017 - Call for Papers December 3-6, 2017 Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa 11011 W. Charleston Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89135 www.wintersim.org WSC TURNS 50: SIMULATION EVERYWHERE! >From experimentation to theory; standards and advanced methodologies, modeling and simulation is continually pushing the envelope of … [View More]the available technologies, as many sectors have growing needs to process, visualize, make readable, understand, and deploy complex models that use immense amounts of data. These players need to transform data into hypothesis building and critical decision-making, and to change their models in response to new hypotheses, usually involving multiple highly specialized experts working together in geographically distant areas. After 50 years, we are now beyond Modeling and Simulation using Grid and Cloud computing, Web-based and distributed simulation and other recent technologies. We need to deal with computing power and storage in heterogeneous environments, resources virtualization; services consumed on demand (with minimal limitation for resource location), power issues, massive datasets. We face new challenges as we have ubiquitous processors that can process applications on demand. WSC 2017 focus is on addressing how to achieve the goal of having Simulation Everywhere! WSC 2017 is sponsored by: ACM/SIGSIM, IISE (Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers), INFORMS-SIM and SCS (Society for Modeling and Simulation International), with Technical Co-Sponsorship from ASA (American Statistical Association), ASIM (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Simulation), IEEE/SMC (Systems, Man and Cybernetics) and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). LOCATION WSC 2017 will be held at the Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, NV. The resort hotel provides an idyllic getaway just minutes from the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip and is ideally situated near the entrance to the Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Center. PROGRAM WSC 2017 features a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials to state-of-the-art research and practice. Planned tracks are: - Agent-Based Simulation - Analysis Methodology - Architecture and Construction - Aviation Modeling and Analysis - Cyber-Physical Systems - Environment and Sustainability Applications - Future of Simulation - Gaming - Healthcare Applications - History of Simulation - Hybrid Simulation - Manufacturing Applications - Logistics, SCM, Transportation - Military Applications and Homeland Security - Intelligent, Adaptive and Autonomous Systems (MSIAAS) - Modeling Methodology - Project Management - Simulation Education - Simulation Optimization - Social and Behavioral Simulation - Introductory Tutorials - Advanced Tutorials Also, a PhD Colloquium, Poster Session, Vendor and Case Studies tracks provide background on established and new methods, tools and application domains. WSC 2017 continues to incorporate the MASM (Modeling and Analysis for Semiconductor Manufacturing) Conference, the leading modeling and analysis conference for global semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain operations. KEYNOTE & TITAN SPEAKERS 50th Anniversary Keynote - Barry L Nelson Northwestern University WSC 2067: What Are The Chances? At the November 1967 "Conference on the Applications of Simulation Using GPSS" it seems unlikely that anyone was wondering if the conference would still be occupying a big hotel in 2017. Conferences persist for many reasons, but a technical conference like WSC has to remain relevant to users, vendors, researchers and consumers (not just hotels) to survive. If our kind of simulation vanished, then so (eventually) would WSC. What is required for simulation to "remain relevant" for the next 50 years? Without fear of having to answer for my crimes in 2067, I boldly speculate on what SHOULD matter for the next 10-20 years, if not the next 50, with a focus on our strength: dealing with uncertainty. 50th Anniversary Titans Robert G.

Dear colleague, Apologies for multiple postings. ************************************************************ ******************** ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (ACM WiSec 2017) July 18 to July 20, 2017 in Boston, USA http://wisec2017.ccs.neu.edu/ ************************************************************ ******************** *Important deadlines:* - Abstract submission: March 13, 2017 - Paper submission: March 20, 2017 - Notification to … [View More]authors: April 24, 2017 - Poster and demo proposal submission: May 17, 2017 - Notification to poster presenters: May 19, 2017 - Camera-ready version: May 29, 2017 All deadlines are 11:59:59 EDT. *Conference Scope:* ACM WiSec is the leading ACM and SIGSAC conference dedicated to all aspects of security and privacy in wireless and mobile networks and their applications. In addition to the traditional ACM WiSec topics of physical, link, and network layer security, we welcome papers focusing on the security and privacy of mobile software platforms, usable security and privacy, biometrics, cryptography, and the increasingly diverse range of mobile or wireless applications such as Internet of Things, and Cyber-Physical Systems. The conference welcomes both theoretical as well as systems contributions. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:* - Security & privacy for smart devices (e.g., smartphones) - Wireless and mobile privacy and anonymity - Secure localization and location privacy - Cellular network fraud and security - Jamming attacks and defenses - Key management (agreement or distribution) for wireless or mobile systems - Information-theoretic security schemes for wireless systems - Theoretical and formal approaches for wireless and mobile security - Cryptographic primitives for wireless and mobile security - NFC and smart payment applications - Security and privacy for mobile sensing systems - Wireless or mobile security for emerging applications (e.g, privacy in health, automotive, avionics, smart grid, or IoT applications) - Physical tracking security and privacy - Usable mobile security and privacy - Economics of mobile security and privacy - Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security - Mobile malware and platform security - Security for cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access systems - Security protocols for wireless networking The proceedings of ACM WiSec, sponsored by SIGSAC, will be published by the ACM. *Full and short papers* Full paper submissions to ACM WiSec 2017 can be up to 10 pages in the ACM conference style excluding the bibliography and well marked appendices, and up to 12 pages in total. ACM WiSec also encourages the submission of short papers with a length of up to 6 pages, which describe mature work of a more succinct nature. All papers must be thoroughly anonymized for double-blind reviewing. Detailed submission instructions will appear on the conference website. *New at WiSec 2017* OPINION PAPERS: ACM WiSec 2017 invites papers (ACM conference style, up to 3 pages excluding references) that present personal perspectives on all aspects of security and privacy in wireless and mobile networks. Opinion papers could also criticize previous research or research directions, as well as highlight possible promising research directions. The opinions expressed in these papers are expected to be anyway corroborated by theoretical foundations, experiments, or experiences. Like the regular papers, the opinion papers will be reviewed by the WiSec Technical Program Committee. The selected opinion papers will be a part of the WiSec technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Opinion papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Opinion:". *WiSec REPRODUCIBILITY LABEL:* This year WiSec is pioneering a process to support greater reproducibility in mobile and wireless security experimental research. The goal of this process is to increase the impact of mobile and wireless research, enable dissemination of research results, sharing of code and experiments set-ups, and to enable the research community to build on prior experimental results. Towards this goal, Wisec is introducing a reproducibility label to recognize papers whose results were reproduced by an independent group of researchers. Authors of accepted papers, can participate in this voluntary process by submitting their experiments following the reproducibility evaluation instructions. Authors are encouraged to plan ahead when running their experiments to minimize the overhead of applying for this label. *Posters and Demos* WiSec also solicits submission of posters and demos. *Double submissions* It is a policy of the ACM to disallow double submissions, where the same (or substantially similar) paper is concurrently submitted to multiple conferences/journals. Any double submissions detected will be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved. *ORGANIZATION: * *General Chair:* Guevara Noubir, Northeastern University, USA *Program Chairs:* Mauro Conti, University of Padua, Italy Sneha Kumar Kasera, University of Utah, USA *Steering Committee:* Srdjan Capkun, ETH Zürich, Switzerland (chair) William Enck, North Carolina State University Ivan Martinovic, Oxford University, UK Cristina Nita-Rotaru, Northeastern University, USA Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Patrick Traynor, University of Florida, USA [View Less]
