It is aimed at providing a forum of practitioners and researchers to discuss cyber modeling and simulation (M&S) as well as its application to the development of cyber-security training scenarios and courses of action (COAs). Specifically, it will focus on the verification and validation (V&V) process, which provides the operational community with confidence in knowing that cyber models represent the real world, and will discuss how defense training may benefit from cyber models. It will also investigate advances in emulators, simulators and their potential combination. The workshop papers are expected to take a holistic approach to the overall system assurance process, presenting advances in the simulation of people, policies, processes, and technologies currently available in the field. The workshop aims to connect the multiple threads that currently compose cyber modelling and simulation into a coherent view of what is usable in order to train experts and non-computer-savvy users toward and assured operation of critical systems. The workshop will precede the ESORICS 2019 conference. MSTEC encourages systems security researchers to share early iterations of bleeding-edge ideas with the community, before they are further developed into full papers. Reciprocally, authors receive feedback to help steer and improve their research to its full potential. **** Topics of Interest **** We invite submissions of full research and survey papers as well as posters on related topics to cybersecurity, including but not limited to: - Cyber threat and training preparation models - Cyber models and training design - Cyber ranges for cybersecurity training and training facility - Training platforms and evaluation scenarios - On-line training procedures and courses of action (COAs) - Training adaptation and training for non-cybersecurity experts - Gamification and serious games - Modeling and simulation for cyber training (M&S) - Simulation and emulation of information systems, networks, and cyber attacks - Real-time monitoring and visualization - System assurance verification and validation (V&V) In accordance with the spirit of MSTEC, we also seek: - Quantified or insightful experience with existing systems - Reproduction or refutation of previous results - Negative results and early ideas **** Important dates **** Paper submission deadline: May 31, 2019 (AoE, UTC-12) Acceptance notification: June 30, 2019 Final paper due: July 31, 2019 **** Paper submissions **** Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings.

I apologize for any cross-posting of this announcement ======================================================================================== 8th International Workshop on Parallel and Cloud-based Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (ParBio) http://staff.icar.cnr.it/cannataro/parbio2019/ held in conjunction with ACM BCB 2019 The 10th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Health Informatics Niagara Falls, NY Sept 7-10, 2019 http://acm-bcb.org/ ======================================================================================== * * * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * ======================================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Paper submissions due: June 15, 2019 Notifications sent to authors: July 1, 2019 Camera-ready papers due: July 8, 2019 Workshop date: TBD ======================================================================================== Due to the availability of high-throughput platforms (e.g. next generation sequencing, microarray and mass spectrometry) and clinical diagnostic tools (e.g. medical imaging), a recent trend in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine is the ever-increasing production of experimental and clinical data. Considering the complex analysis pipelines often used in biomedical research, there is a main bottleneck that involves the storage, integration, and analysis of experimental data, as well as their correlation and integration with publicly available data banks. While parallel computing and Grid computing may offer the computational power and the storage to face this overwhelming availability of data, Cloud Computing is a key technology to hide the complexity of computing infrastructures, to reduce the cost of the data analysis task, and especially to change the overall model of biomedical research and health provision. High-performance infrastructures may offer the huge data storage needed to store experimental and biomedical data, while parallel computing can be used for basic pre-processing (e.g. parallel BLAST, mpiBLAST) and for more advanced analysis (e.g. parallel data mining). In such a scenario, novel parallel architectures (e.g. CELL processors, GPUs, FPGA, hybrid CPU/FPGA) coupled with emerging programming models may overcome the limits posed by conventional computers to the mining and exploration of large amounts of data. On the other hand, these technologies yet require great investments by biomedical and clinical institutions and are based on a traditional model where users often need to be aware and face different management problems, such as hardware and software management, data storage, software ownership, and prohibitive costs (different professional-level applications in the biomedical domain have an high starting cost that prevent many small laboratories to use them). The Cloud Computing technology, that is able to offer scalable costs and increased reachability, availability and easiness of application use, and possibility to enforce collaboration among scientists, is already changing the business model in different sectors and now it has begun to be adopted in the bioinformatics and biomedical domains. However, many problems remain to be solved, such as availability and safety of the data, privacy-related issues, availability of software platforms for rapid deployment, and the execution and billing of biomedical applications. The goal of ParBio 2019 is to bring together scientists in the fields of high performance and cloud computing, computational biology and medicine to discuss, among the others, the parallel implementation of bioinformatics and biomedical applications and problems and opportunities of moving biomedical and health applications on the cloud. Moreover, big data analytics issues in healthcare and bioinformatics will be addressed. The workshop will focus on research issues, problems and opportunities of moving biomedical and health applications on the cloud, as well as on the opportunity to define guidelines and minimum requirements for a Biomedical Cloud. Moreover, the workshop will discuss about parallel and distributed management and analysis of molecular and clinical data that more and more need to be integrated and analyzed in a joint way. TOPICS OF INTEREST The main themes and research topics will regard the applications of parallel and high performance computing to biology and medicine, as well as Cloud Computing opportunities and problems for bioinformatics and biomedical applications - Data Science in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Big data analytics in healthcare and bioinformatics - Data Mining in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Deep Learning in Bioinformatics and Health Informatics - Sentiment Analysis in bioinformatics and healthcare - Affective Computing in bioinformatics and healthcare - Text mining of biomedical literature and clinical notes - Healthcare data quality, privacy, and security - High performance computing for computational biology - Data integration and ontologies in biology and medicine - Large scale biological and biomedical databases - Parallel bioinformatics algorithms - Parallel visualization and exploration of omics and clinical data - Parallel visualization and analysis of biomedical images - Computing environments for large scale collaboration - Scientific workflows in bioinformatics and biomedicine - Emerging architectures and programming models for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Parallel processing of bio-signals - Modeling and simulation in healthcare and medicine - Cloud Computing for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Cloud Computing for health systems - Services for bioinformatics and biomedicine - Internet of Things in bioinformatics and healthcare - Peer-To-Peer Computing for bioinformatics and biomedicine PROGRAM The workshop will take place on (TBD) It is scheduled as half-day The program is not available yet.

Dear Professor Jimmy Yiming, VISUALIZATION is very important for your endeavors. Would you be interested in my giving a keynote talk or tutorial on "Visual Analytics for High Dimensional Data"? The visual exploration and analysis of data together with the applications to multivariate problems are very relevant and important to this conference. For further information please see (visuals attached) http://www.amazon.com/Parallel-Coordinates-Multidimensional-Geometry-Applic… Among others this book was praised by Stephen Hawking who attended my lectures at Cambridge. The multidimensional visualization methodology described has been widely applied to the exploration and classification of real multivariate(some with hundreds of variables) datasets with stunning results (Ch. 10). There are other applications to Automatic Collision Avoidance for Air Traffic, Decision Support for Complex Systems, Multiobjective Optimization, Network Topology Visualization and Analysis, Intelligent Process Control. The patterns representing multivariate/multidimensional RELATIONS are compact and unambiguous providing a Topology for Proximity leading towards the visualization of BIG DATA.
