*19th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC 2021)* AusPDC 2021 will be held online in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week (ACSW) <http://www.acsw.org.au/>, 1 - 5 February 2021. *Scope of the Symposium* In 2010, AusGrid event was broadened to include all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and hence was called as Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC). Following a couple of successful events, it comes to the 19th in 2021 in the series. In both New Zealand and Australia parallel and distributed computing has been recognised as strategic technologies for driving their moves towards knowledge economies. A number of projects and initiatives are underway in both countries in these areas. There is a natural interest in tools which support collaboration and access to remote resources given the challenges of the countries location and sparse populations. Topics of interest for the symposium include (but not limited to): - Cloud computing - Fog/edge computing - Grid and Cluster computing - Big Data processing and analytics - Virtualization, containers, unikernels, orchestration and other enablers - Security, trust and privacy in Clouds/Fog/Edge - Mobile, sensor networks and Internet of things - Data storage, placement and replication - Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchains - Multi-core systems - Peer-to-peer computing - GPUs and other forms of special-purpose processors - Service computing and workflow management - Managing large distributed data sets - Middleware and tools - Network function virtualisation and Software-defined networks - Performance evaluation and modelling - Datacentre and Interconnection networks - Performance accelerators - Problem-solving environments - Parallel programming models, languages and compilers - Operating systems and runtime systems - Resource scheduling and load balancing - Data mining and machine learning - Computational Science and Engineering - Agent-based computing - Reliability, security, privacy and dependability - e-Science and e-Health Applications The symposium is primarily targeted at researchers from Australia and New Zealand, however, in the spirit of parallel and distributed computing, which aims to enable collaboration of distributed virtual organisations, we encourage papers and participation from international researchers. *Paper Submission*The proceedings of the symposium will be published by ACM in conjunction with ACSW 2021.

Call for Papers: ScalA@SC 2017 - Papers due August 28
by Engelmann, Christian 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ScalA’17: 8th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems held in conjunction with the SC17: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC November 13, 2017, Denver, CO, USA <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2017> Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems. Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers not exceeding 8 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages including figures, tables, and references using the ACM format for conference proceedings. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Reference style files are available at <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at: <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scala17>. Full papers will be published with the SC'17 workshop proceedings in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore. Selected papers will be invited for an extended version in a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science (JoCS). Important Dates - Full paper submission: August 28, 2017 - Notification of acceptance: September 11, 2017 - Final paper submission (firm): October 9, 2017 - Workshop/conference early registration: TBD - Workshop: November 13, 2017 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel scientific algorithms that improve performance, scalability, resilience, and power efficiency - Porting scientific algorithms and applications to many-core and heterogeneous architectures - Performance and resilience limitations of scientific algorithms and applications at scale - Crosscutting approaches (system software and applications) in addressing scalability challenges - Scientific algorithms that can exploit extreme concurrency (e.g. 1 billion for exascale by 2020) - Naturally fault tolerant, self-healing, or fault oblivious scientific algorithms - Programming model and system software support for algorithm scalability and resilience Workshop Chairs - Vassil Alexandrov, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain - Al Geist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA - Jack Dongarra, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA Workshop Program Chair - Christian Engelmann, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA Program Committee - Vassil Alexandrov, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain - Hartwig Anzt, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA - Rick Archibald, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA - Franck Cappello, Argonne National Laboratory and University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, USA - Zizhong Chen, University of California, Riverside, USA - James Elliott, Sandia National Laboratories, USA - Nahid Emad, University of Versailles SQ, France - Christian Engelmann, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA - Wilfried Gansterer, University of Vienna, Austria - Michael Heroux, Sandia National Laboratories, USA - Kirk E.

Research Associate Position for 3 years, salary level E13, at Steinbuch Centre for Computing, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
by ivan.kondov＠kit.edu 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Dear colleagues, We have an open position in the new project “Virtual Research Environment for Materials Modeling and Data Analysis” of the Joint Lab “Virtual Materials Design” starting in January 2021. Workflow management, data analysis and visualization in materials science rely currently on generic tools and frameworks and general-purpose languages that require from domain researchers programming and command-line skills, and significant learning, development, validation and maintenance efforts. The main task is to devise a use-case driven domain specific language covering common objects and frequent tasks in computational materials science. This language should allow expressions covering selected use cases and abstract from knowledge of the underlying workflow models and data analysis tools. The new language is expected to increase productivity of domain scientists and enable rapid prototyping. In addition, language processors (interpreter or generator) and supporting tools have to be developed and integrated into an interactive platform (JupyterLab) together with established generic workflow management, data analysis and visualization tools. The successful candidate should have a master degree in computer science or a similar discipline and a very good knowledge of at least one programming language, preferably Python. Good programming and software engineering skills, knowledge of DSL frameworks, for example Xtext, textX or JetBrains MPS, and/or modeling frameworks (for example EMF or PyEcore) will be beneficial. We offer a unique interdisciplinary working environment to provide IT services and perform research under one roof and the opportunity for a career step toward computational science with focus on materials science. Applications and inquiries should be sent via email to Dr. Ivan Kondov (ivan.kondov(a)kit.edu).

CFP on Evolutionary Algorithms in Artificial Intelligent Systems, open access special issue
by Valentina Franzoni 23 Oct '20

23 Oct '20

Deadline: 31 December 2020 Journal Mathematics (indexed on Scopus, WoS, JCR) https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics/special_issues/Artificial_Intellig… Dear Colleagues, Evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristics are widely used to provide efficient and effective approximate solutions to computationally hard optimization problems. Successful early applications of the evolutionary computational approach can be found in the field of numerical optimization, while they have now become pervasive in applications for planning, scheduling, transportation and logistics, vehicle routing, packing problems, etc. With the widespread use of intelligent systems in recent years, evolutionary algorithms have been applied, beyond classical optimization problems, as components of intelligent systems for supporting tasks and decisions in the fields of machine vision, natural language processing, parameters optimization for neural networks (neuroevolution), and features selection in machine learning systems. Moreover, they are also applied in areas like complex networks dynamics, evolution and trend detection in social networks, emergent behaviour in multiagent systems and adaptive evolutionary user interfaces, to mention a few. In these systems, the evolutionary components are integrated into the overall architecture and they provide services, e.g., pattern matching services, to the specific algorithmic solutions. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together recent theoretical and applicative research advancements in the area of evolutionary algorithms as components of intelligent systems, with a focus on solutions and methodologies that can be reused to solve subclasses of problems recurring in intelligent applications. Contributions are welcome on theoretical models and applications to intelligent systems of evolutionary algorithms for, but not limited to, single-objective and multiobjective optimization, numerical continuous nonlinear optimization, combinatorial optimization, graph matching and pattern matching, agents, and automata optimization. Evolutionary paradigms to be considered, non-exhaustively, include continuous and discrete differential evolution, genetic algorithms, memetic and foraging schemes, online evolutionary algorithms, genetic programming, co-evolution mechanisms, artificial immune systems, swarm-based approaches, ant colony optimization, and, more generally, nature and bio-inspired metaheuristics. The selection criteria will be primarily based on the formal and technical soundness, the experimental support, and the relevance of the contribution and its impact on the reusability of the results for solving subgroups of problems recurring in a class of intelligent applications.
