The first research grant shall be developed in close collaboration with
Planetek Italia (12 months out of 18 in total), and is related to the
following topic:
Machine Learning for Space Weather
The proposed research project is concerned with the study of "Space
Weather Phenomena" and the development of knowledge about the mechanisms
and effects of solar-derived perturbative phenomena developing in
circumterrestrial space and impacting the ionized atmosphere
(ionosphere). In the project emphasis is given to the study and modeling
of the dynamics of the ionospheric plasma and the electron density
irregularities in it on a global scale, in order to improve the
capability of long-term (24-48 hours in advance) nowcasting and
forecasting of the ionospheric response to Space Weather events over the
Mediterranean area. The modeling approach is developed through
innovative "machine learning" techniques, recently introduced (Cesaroni
et al 2020), the results of which point to this as a strategy to extend
the time horizon of ionospheric forecasting, a fundamental requirement
for increasing knowledge of Space Weather phenomena in near-Earth space.
In addition, the growing demand for semi-empirical approaches for
real-time mitigation of errors introduced by the ionosphere on
positioning and navigation systems makes the proposed topic a
significant contribution in the area of "services and research for
society" in relation to the strategic objective "Development of a
National Space Weather Service" in the context of developing
countermeasures to contain the negative effect that the irregular and
disturbed ionosphere can have on technological systems in use in modern
society such as, for example, navigation and positioning satellite
systems (GNSS, GLobal Navigation Satellite Systems), trans-horizon HF
radio communications, and L-band satellite communication systems. Such
systems are of interest to a variety of end users who can be identified
as users of the service in which the developed products may be embedded.
Examples of users may include: precision agriculture operators,
operators in the field of mapping, aviation, and radio communications
operators for emergency management in civil defense.

The second research grant shall be developed in close collaboration with
GE Avio (12 months out of 18 in total), and is related too the following
topic:
Operative Framework For HPC (Off-HPC)
High-performance computing (HPC) clouds are becoming a complement or, in
some cases, an alternative to on-premise clusters for running
scientific-technical, engineering, and business analytics service
applications. Most research efforts in the area of cloud HPC aim to
analyze and understand the cost-benefit of migrating computationally
intensive applications from on-premise environments to public cloud
platforms. Industry trends show that on-premise/cloud hybrid
environments are the natural path to get the best out of on-premise and
cloud resources. Workloads that are stable from the point of view of
required computing resources and sensitive from the point of view of the
need to protect processed information can be performed on on-premise
resources, while peak computational loads can take advantage of remote
computing resources available in the cloud typically under a
"pay-as-you-go" consumption mode. The main difficulties in using cloud
solutions to run HPC applications stem from their characteristics and
properties compared to traditional cloud services to handle, for
example, standard enterprise applications, Web applications, data
storage or backup, or business intelligence. HPC applications tend to
require more computing power than application services typically
delivered in cloud environments. These processing requirements arise not
only from the characteristics of the CPUs (Central Processing Units),
but also from the amount of memory and network speed to support their
proper execution. In addition, such applications may have a particular
and different execution mechanism than dedicated cloud application
services that instead run 24/7. HPC applications tend to run in batch
mode. Users execute a series of computational jobs, consisting of
instances of the application with different inputs, and wait until
results are generated to decide whether new computational tasks need to
be submitted and executed. Therefore, moving HPC applications to cloud
platforms requires not only a focus on resource allocation in the
infrastructure in use and its optimization, but also on how users
interact with this new environment. Research in the area of cloud HPC
can be classified into three broad categories: (i) feasibility studies
on adopting the cloud to replace or complement on-premise computing
clusters to run HPC applications; (ii) performance optimization of cloud
resources for running HPC applications; and (iii) services to simplify
the use of cloud HPC, particularly for users who are not specialized in
data and information processing and processing technologies. This
research project intends to focus on study activities within the first
category, in which, more specifically, there are four main aspects that
should be considered: (i) metrics used to assess how feasible the use of
HPC cloud is; (ii) resources used in computational experiments; (iii)
computational infrastructure; and (iv) software, which includes both
well-known HPC benchmarks and computational tools, algorithms, or
methodologies related to specific business application cases. Currently,
the company uses HPC applications running mostly on on-premise systems
but faces issues related to the need for greater computational resources
that can be met through flexible and scalable architectures provided by
cloud technologies. The need is to build clear technology and governance
references for cloud or hybrid infrastructures. The research project
will therefore aim to carefully analyze the state of the art of hybrid
HPC solutions, define criteria for benchmarking different solutions,
develop an operational framework that includes the operational and
economic management aspects of a hybrid HPC solution, and finally
implement one or more industrial pilots.

Edge Computing 2.0: Efficient Deep Learning at the Edge
================================================
Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved unprecedented success
in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), including computer vision,
natural language processing, and speech recognition. However, their
superior performance comes at the considerable cost of computational
complexity, which greatly hinders their applications in many
resource-constrained devices, such as Edge computing nodes and Internet of
Things (IoT) devices. Therefore, methods and techniques that can lift the
efficiency bottleneck while preserving the high accuracy of DNNs are in
great demand to enable numerous edge AI applications.
The proposed research plan involves the analysis and identification of the
challenges related to DNNs for time series prediction both at training
time, on the GPU-enabled resource-constrained devices, and at inference
time, on microcontrollers, leveraging available open-source software such
as Tensorflow and Pytorch. The final goal of the research activity will be
the definition, design, implementation, and testing of novel algorithms to
improve the efficiency of DNNs on the edge and on
IoT devices, on real-case scenarios.

1. AIMS AND GOAL
-----------------
Privacy in statistical databases is about finding tradeoffs to the tension
between the increasing societal and economical demand for accurate
information
and the legal and ethical obligation to protect the privacy of
individuals and
enterprise which are the respondents providing the statistical data. In the
case of statistical databases, the motivation for respondent privacy is
one of
survival: data collectors cannot expect to collect accurate information from
individual or corporate respondents unless these feel the privacy of
their responses
is guaranteed.
Beyond respondent privacy, there are two additional privacy dimensions
to be considered:
privacy for the data owners (organizations owning or gathering the data,
who would not like
to share the data they have collected at great expense) and privacy for
the users (those
who submit queries to the database and would like their analyses to stay
private).
"Privacy in Statistical Databases 2022" (PSD 2022) is a conference with
proceedings
published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The
purpose
of PSD 2022 is to
attract world-wide, high-level research in statistical database privacy.
PSD 2022 is a successor to
PSD 2020 (online, Sep. 23-25, 2020,
https://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2020/),
PSD 2018 (Valencia, Sep. 26-28, 2018,
https://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2018/),
PSD 2016 (Dubrovnik, Sep. 14-16, 2016,
https://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2016/),
PSD 2014 (Eivissa, Sep. 17-19, 2014,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2014/),
PSD 2012 (Palermo, Sep. 26-28, 2012,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2012),
PSD 2010 (Corfu, Sep. 22-24, 2010,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2010),
PSD 2008 (Istanbul, Sep. 24-26, 2008,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2008),
PSD 2006 (Rome, Dec. 13-15, 2006,
http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2006)
and PSD 2004 (Barcelona, June 9-11, 2004,
http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2004),
all with proceedings published by Springer in LNCS 12276, LNCS 11126,
LNCS 9867, LNCS 8744,
LNCS 7556, LNCS 6344, LNCS 5262, LNCS 4302 and LNCS 3050, respectively.
Those
ten PSD conferences follow a tradition of high-quality technical
conferences on SDC which
started with "Statistical Data Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in
1998 and with
proceedings published by OPOCE, and continued with the AMRADS project
SDC Workshop,
held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with proceedings published in Springer
LNCS 2316.
Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD 2022 originates in
Europe, but wishes
to stay a worldwide event in database privacy and SDC. Thus,
contributions and attendees
from overseas are welcome.

SCIENTIFIC SUPERVISOR Prof. Massimo Cafaro
RESEARCH TITLE LARGE SCALE DATA MANAGEMENT AND INTEGRATION
DESCRIPTION This is a three year “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.
For admission to the selection is required the possession of all the
requirements provided by law for access to public employment, the
eligibility requirements provided by the Marie Sklodowska- Curie Action
(https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/wp/2018-2020/main…)
and the following requirements:
a) Master of Science degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering
or equivalent qualification that formally allows access to a PhD program
in Italy;
b) an excellent academic career;
c) must not have carried out more than 4 years of research activity
after obtaining the degree mentioned in the previous point within the
expected starting date of the contract (indicatively fixed at 01.03.2022);
d) have a background relevant to the following areas but not limited to:
distributed computing, databases, distributed data management, security
and privacy; knowledge of C/C++ programming languages and time series
archiving/analysis is a plus;
e) must not have a Ph.D. as of the contract start date;
f) 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;
g) have an excellent knowledge of the English language, in any case
sufficient to ensure the performance of the activity envisaged by the
contract and daily interaction in the working environment;
h) must not have criminal convictions or have pending criminal
proceedings of particular gravity.
Lack of even one of the above requirements will result in exclusion from
the selection process at any time. Qualifications obtained abroad must
normally be previously recognized in Italy in accordance with current
legislation. The equivalence of qualifications obtained abroad that have
not already been recognized in Italy will be evaluated by the Selection
Committee solely for the purpose of admitting the candidate to this call
for selection. The qualifications must be possessed on the date of
expiry of the deadline established for the presentation of applications
for admission to this selection. The University of Salento guarantees
equality and equal opportunities between men and women for the
allocation of the grants in question and the protection of
confidentiality in the processing of personal data, according to the
provisions in force.

*The paper submission deadline for VHPC 2022 has been extended to April 26th (AoE). Please, register your abstract by
April 19th.*
The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) <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 17th edition of VHPC will be held on June 2nd, jointly with the ISC High-Performance 2022 <https://www.isc-hpc.com/>
conference and exhibition in Hamburg (Germany), and will feature two excellent *industrial **_/keynote speakers/_*
* “rtla: finding the sources of OS noise on Linux”, Daniel Bristot De Oliveira, Senior Principal Software Engineer in
the real-time kernel team at Red Hat
* “DynamoDB: NoSQL database services for predictable HPC workloads”, Akshat Vig, Principal Software Engineer at Amazon
Web Services (AWS)
In addition to the general research topics mentioned below, VHPC'22 encourages particularly contributions on the
following _/focus topics/_:
* Container Platforms (Kubernetes, Docker, Singularity, Shifter, rkt, …) for Scientific Workflows
* Composable Lightweight Applications and Unikernel Frameworks
* Latency Control and Data/Container Placement in Heterogeneous HPC Virtualized Environments
* Energy-efficiency and Service Orchestration in Virtualized Cloud & HPC Infrastructures
*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 manage complex and heterogeneous
infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and diverse workloads and applications 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. More recently, Function as a Service (Faas) and Serverless computing, leveraging on
lightweight virtualizaton and containerization solutions, widens the spectrum of applications that can be deployed in a
cloud environment, especially in an HPC context. Here, HPC-provided services can become accessible to distributed
workloads outside of large cluster environments.
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 bare-metal
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 take traffic from multiple VMs or containers;
network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying
physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures.
*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.
Each topic encompasses aspects related to design/architecture, management, performance management, modeling and
configuration/tooling:
Design / Architecture:
* Containers and OS-level virtualization (LXC, Docker, rkt, Singularity, Shifter)
* Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.)
