Call for Participation PAW-ATM 2024:
Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X
Held in conjunction with SC24, Atlanta, GA
November 17, 2024
9:00am - 5:30pm (EST)
Room B306 / Hybrid Event
https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/
****************************************************************
Alternatives to MPI+X are worth exploring as programmer productivity becomes a major component of the time to science. Alternatives include parallel programming languages (e.g. Chapel, Regent, Fortran 2018), general purpose libraries (e.g. Charm++, COMPSs, HPX, Legion, UPC++), and domain specific libraries (e.g. Arkouda, Dask, Spark). With many options to choose from, it is hard for programmers to know which alternative models are appropriate for their application and for programming model developers to understand the opportunities for improvement.
Through discussion of specific applications, PAW-ATM brings together application experts and programming model developers to improve applications and models.

CALL FOR PAPERS:
11th Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and
Simulation (HPCMS)
The 33rd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and
Network-Based Computing
Turin (Italy)
12-14 March 2025

*************************************************************************
AIMS AND SCOPE
Model development through which computers can simulate the evolution
of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the advancement
of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of computers has
allowed to considerably extend the application of computing
methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative
study of complex systems. This has permitted a broad application of
numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM,
PIC, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative
computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic
Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other.
These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling
purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be
impracticable due to space and/or time constraints.
An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop now at its eleventh year
at PDP - is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community
composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators,
practitioners and experts from world leading Universities,
Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science. HPCMS
intent is to thus offer an opportunity to express and confront views
on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in computational problems
and high-performance computing, related to areas in engineering,
physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology, sociology,
traffic control, economy, etc.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High Performance Computing in computational science:
intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications
- Complex systems modelling and simulation
- Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm
Intelligence implementations
- Integrated approach to optimization and simulation
- MPI, OpenMP, Sycl and CUDA applications in Computational Science
- Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to
optimization in Computational Science
- High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g.,
biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and
humanities problems
- Performance models and their integration into the design of
efficient parallel algorithms for heterogeneous platforms
- Hardware approaches (e.g., FPGAs, Neuromorphic computing, etc) of
high performance computing in modeling and simulation
IMPORTANT DATES
DEADLINE Paper submission: 15 November 2024
Acceptance notification: 10 December 2024
Camera ready due: 27 January 2025
Conference: 12 - 14 March 2025
Submission guidelines

*Paper Submission and Proceedings*
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper with at

consists of the title of the paper and the abstract. The first section of
the paper should start on the next page.
The usage of the LNCS style file is mandatory. No changes to font size,
page geometry, etc. are permitted. Late submissions and submissions not in
the correct format will not be considered.
Submissions will be through EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ciac2025)
The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and their
motivation, a summary of the results, a brief explanation of their
significance, and a comparison to related work, accessible to
non-specialists. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into
an appendix, to be read by the PC members at their discretion.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or
to journals is not allowed.
At least one author of each accepted paper will have to register for the
conference. For authors who cannot present their paper in person for a
significant reason, the possibility of remote presentation may be offered.
*Double-Blind Reviewing*
CIAC 2025 will implement a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way; in
particular, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses should not
appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission.
The purpose of the double-blind reviewing is to help PC members and
external reviewers come to an initial judgement about the paper without
bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they
were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens
the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult.
Authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of
their paper as they normally would (e.g., making early drafts available on
their webpage, or through pre-print dissemination websites such as arXiv).
When submitting a paper, please indicate Conflict of Interest (CoI) with PC
members.
*PC Submissions*
Submissions authored or co-authored by (non-chair) members of the program
committee are allowed.

* Short paper reports preliminary results of uncompleted scientific research (up to 15 pages in the LNCS one-column page format).
* Abstract of the poster contains information about plans and initial results of recently started scientific research (one standard A4 page).
Papers may be prepared in LaTeX or MS Word according to the LNCS one-column page format (see guidelines at the conference website https://ПаВТ.РФ/2025/attendees/authors.html). Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pct2025 by February 1, 2025.
Each paper will be reviewed by three Program Committee members and/or invited experts to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference.
At least one author of the accepted paper must attend the conference and present the paper. The type of talk is determined by the Program Committee. Correspondence or distant participation in the PCT conference is not allowed.
PROCEEDINGS
All accepted full papers in English will be published in Springer’s Communications in Computer and Information Science series (https://link.springer.com/conference/pct, indexed in Web of Science and Scopus), final approval pending. All accepted full papers in Russian will be published (after further revision) in Computational Mathematics and Software Engineering series of the Bulletin of the South Ural State University (https://vestnikvmi.susu.ru/, indexed in Russian Science Citation Index on the Web of Science platform).
