Dear All: The 24th IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-23) (http://www.ieee-tcsc.org/2023/pdsec/) will be held on May 19, 2023 in St. Petersburg, Florida in conjunction with IPDPS 2023. Deadline: PDSEC-23 deadline: 15 Jan 2023 (AoE) Scope and Interests: The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an increasing burden placed on application developers due to the management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its associated performance characteristics. Many existing scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parallel and distributed computing (PDC) community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges in order to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the scientific application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability. In particular, we will focus on the following topics in parallel and distributed scientific and engineering applications, and not limited to: * Big scientific data * Performance modeling and simulation for the execution of scalable scientific applications on new heterogeneous architectures * Graph analytics with their (scientific) applications * Code modernization methodologies and experiences for adapting the changes in future computing systems * Languages for scientific computing on hybrid systems (e.g. Python, MPI+X where X is OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA etc.) * Tools and techniques for improving the performance, reliability and resilience of scientific applications * Use cases of enterprise distributed computing technology (such as MapReduce, Data Analytics and Machine-learning tools) in scientific and engineering applications * Scalable parallel and distributed algorithms supporting science and engineering applications * Performance portability across heterogeneous architecture Important Dates: Paper submission due . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[CFP] AMPM 2022: 2nd Workshop in Agent-based Modeling & Policy-Making
by Giovanni Sileno 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

================================================================= AMPM 2022: 2nd Workshop in Agent-based Modeling & Policy-Making ================================================================= in conjunction with JURIX 2022, the 35th International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems. Workshop date: December 14th, 2022, Saarbrücken, Germany (the workshop will be conducted as a hybrid event). Deadline for submission: November 4th, 2022. Motivation ----------------- Global financial and economic crises, critical technological dependencies, pandemics, and climate change have cast serious doubts on the adequacy of conventional policy-making and law-making to consider mechanisms underlying social and economic phenomena. From their original application in engineering and science, computational models are increasingly being used to guide decisions by studying their potential consequences prior to making them. They are proposed as a tool for evidence-based policy-making in a diverse set of contexts: public health, ecology, labour markets, urban planning, social security, crime mitigation, economic development, platform economy and techno-regulation. Motivated by such widespread deployment, work on using computational models beyond executive policies and towards law-making — i.e. beyond operational guidance and towards regulation circumscribing the space in which policies can operate — is gaining momentum. Existing computational approaches to policy and normative design are known to face persisting complementary challenges: formal validity; effectiveness; efficiency; sustainability, etc. Several disciplines have focused on distinct aspects of these dimensions (e.g. computational legal theory, game theory, control systems design, dynamic systems, and system dynamics), offering alternative methodological standpoints and computational tools. Unfortunately, these specialized domains rarely interoperate and frequently contain troublesome assumptions such as overly simplistic fully observable static environments, static pay-off tables, static semantics, homogeneous agents that are perfectly rational and/or controllable. The resulting reduced views fail to take into account possible phenomena occurring at the boundaries between areas of concern. A crucial integrating role can be played by agent-based modelling (ABM). Based on an interactionist metaphor, agent-based models are an effective tool for understanding and reproducing the functioning and generation/emergence of complex macro-dynamics and constructs (shared knowledge, practices, protocols of interaction) at an aggregate level. Applied in social contexts, and particularly within the frame of computational social science (CSS), ABM lends itself to regulators and policymakers but also more widely to judges, attorneys, and legislators. Topics ----------------- AMPM is envisioned to be complementary to the traditional scope of computational social science, complex system research, and agent-based modeling, focusing on three main tracks: - models/theories going beyond policies, targeting normative and cognitive phenomena; - empirical methods, associated with the practice of ABM in policy and norm-making contexts; - better, dedicated tooling, such as computational methods, languages, and interfaces. In perspective, the workshop creates space for the ABM call for a “computation-enhanced regulatory empiricism”, exploiting computation to investigate factual underpinnings of the legal phenomenon, like the intricate networks of cognitive, social, technological, and legal mechanisms through which law emerges, is applied, and exerts its effects. Scope ----------------- The workshop aims to attract participants from various disciplines, and to be of interest to anyone working with the domain of governance of large-scale self-adaptive systems (human, computational, or natural): policy-making and normative design, governance, (computational) social science, (computational) legal theory, (computational) economics, autonomic computing, techno-regulation, distributed systems, agent-based modelling, and complexity science. Participation and Submission --------------------------------------------------- People interested in participating are requested to submit short (max 6 pages) or long papers (max 10 pages) before the November 4th 2022 via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ampm2022. Please use the CEURART 1-col style to prepare your submission. The typical submission for AMPM would be a reduced but self-complete and convincing version of a study (model, method, tool, theory, ..) — ongoing work to be later submitted to larger venues as AAMAS or similar —, or an innovative/provocative position paper, or a sound research stub with respect to the challenges expressed above. Authors of the accepted papers will present at the workshop. Presented papers can then be accepted or conditionally accepted for publication in the open-access CEUR workshop post-proceedings. A second round of reviews will be conducted on the camera-ready version to support that feedback and discussions are adequately integrated. Organizers ----------- Giovanni Sileno, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Christoph Becker, Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO), Belgium Nicola Lettieri, INAPP (National Institute for Public Policy Analysis) and University of Sannio, Italy Program Committee ------------------ Christopher Frantz, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Charlotte Gerritsen, Vrije Universiteit (VU), Amsterdam Marina De Vos, University of Bath Davide Marocco, University of Naples "Federico II" Nieves Montes, Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA-CSIC), Barcelona Fernando Pascoal Dos Santos, University of Amsterdam Gary Polhill, James Hutton Institute Davide Dell'Anna, Delft University of Technology Margherita Vestoso, University of Sannio Veronika Fikfak, University of Copenhagen Vitor V.
