[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Paper (CFP).] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IEEE EdgeCom2019 - The 5th IEEE International Conference on Edge Computing and Scalable Cloud - June 21–23, 2019 Paris, France http://www.cloud-conf.net/cscloud/2019/ssc/index.html +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INTRODUCTION With edge devices (e.g. mobile phones, wearable devices, and IoT devices) are universally used and become more powerful, edge computing has evolved to a new computing paradigm where computing tasks are completed closer to data sources (i.e. at edge) rather than in a centralized location (e.g. in cloud). Compared with cloud computing, edge computing has many advantages: 1) Services can be done without network access. 2) Users can choose not to upload private data in exchange of cloud services. 3) Real-time service with extremely low latency is possible without the overhead of moving data to the cloud. However, the restricted resources (e.g., computation, DRAM space, and battery) of edge devices bring many new challenges to edge computing as well. IEEE Edgecom 2019 provides a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to present innovative research and best practices in edge computing, discuss the opportunities and challenges that arise from rethinking cloud computing architectures and embracing edge computing. TOPIC IEEE Edgecom 2019 welcomes contributions from diverse perspectives of edge computing, which include (but are not limited to) the following topics: - Edge computing in IoT - Security and fault tolerance for embedded or ubiquitous systems - Privacy protection in edge computing - Software/Algorithm optimization for edge computing - Cyber security in mobile embedded systems - Edge computing infrastructure - Workload characterization and analysis of applications running on edge devices - Digital forensics and privacy issues in cloud computing - Cyber monitoring approaches - Case studies of real-world edge computing applications - Monitoring and diagnosis tools for edge computing - Social engineering, insider threats, advance spear phishing - On-device artificial intelligence - Heterogeneous clouds and vulnerabilities - Secure methods for heterogeneous cloud resource sharing - Architecture support for edge computing - Cloud-based audio/video streaming techniques - Energy efficient edge computing - Case studies for cyber security applications - Cloud-based real-time multimedia techniques - New attack methods and applications - Green cloud computing - Quality of Service (QoS) improvements techniques - Edge-Cloud coordinated computing - Cloud-based sensor network and security issues PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeedgecom2019) The submissions should be formatted with the IEEE 8.5 x 11 inches two-column format with 10-12 point font.

ARRAY workshop at PLDI 2019, submissions due 8th April
by Jeremy Gibbons 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

CALL FOR PAPERS ARRAY 2019 6th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Libraries, Languages and Compilers for Array Programming co-located with PLDI 2019 at ACM FCRC 22nd June 2019, Phoenix, Arizona https://pldi19.sigplan.org/ ABOUT Array-oriented programming offers a unique blend of programmer productivity and high-performance parallel execution. As an abstraction, it directly mirrors high-level mathematical constructions commonly used in many fields from natural sciences over engineering to financial modelling. As a language feature, it exposes regular control flow, exhibits structured data dependencies, and lends itself to many types of program analysis. Furthermore, many modern computer architectures, particularly highly parallel architectures such as GPUs and FPGAs, lend themselves to efficiently executing array operations. This workshop is intended to bring together researchers from many different communities, including language designers, library developers, compiler researchers and practitioners who are using or working on numeric, array-centric aspects of programming languages, libraries and methodologies from all domains: imperative or declarative; object-oriented or functional; interpreted or compiled; strongly typed, weakly typed or untyped. TOPICS The ARRAY series of workshops explores: - formal semantics and design issues of array-oriented languages and libraries; - productivity and performance in compute-intensive application areas of array programming; - systematic notation for array programming, including axis- and index-based approaches; - intermediate languages, virtual machines, and program-transformation techniques for array programs; - representation of and automated reasoning about mathematical structure, such as static and dynamic sparsity, low-rank patterns, and hierarchies of these, with connections to applications such as graph processing, HPC, tensor computation and deep learning; - interfaces between array- and non-array code, including approaches for embedding array programs in general-purpose programming languages; and - efficient mapping of array programs, through compilers, libraries, and code generators, onto execution platforms, targeting multi-cores, SIMD devices, GPUs, distributed systems, and FPGA hardware, by fully automatic and user-assisted means. Array programming is at home in many communities, including language design, library development, optimization, scientific computing, and across many existing language communities. ARRAY is intended as a forum where these communities can exchange ideas on the construction of computational tools for manipulating arrays. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submissions: 8th April, 2019 (anywhere on earth) Notification of authors: 27th April, 2019 Camera-ready copies due: 10th May, 2019 Workshop date: 22nd June, 2019 SUBMISSIONS Submissions are welcome in two categories: full papers and extended abstracts.

The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)
by Massimo CAFARO 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

WPDM 2019 The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2019/ CALL FOR PAPERS The Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) will be held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2019), http://www.iccsa.org Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia July 1-4 2019 Submission Deadline extended to: March 3, 2019 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. The submitted paper must be between 10 to 16 pages long and formatted according to the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) rules, Guidelines and templates can be found at the url http://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui… To submit a paper, please connect to the Submission site from the link available at the ICCSA 2019 web site: http://ess.iccsa.org.

HPBench 2019 at HPCS IEEE Conference - deadline FEB 28th
by Samar Aseeri 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

Dear Sir, dear Madam, Please, can you pass this announcement also to interested colleagues. Kind regards ========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The 6th Special Session on High Performance Computing for Application Benchmarking and Optimization (HPBench 2019) As part of the International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2019) http://hpcs2019.cisedu.info/ or http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs19 Dublin, Ireland ========================================================================== Benchmarking is an essential aspect of modern high performance computing and computational science, and as such, it provides a means for quantifying and comparing the performance of different computer systems. With a large combination of aspects to benchmark, all the way from the capability of a single core, to cluster configuration, and to various software configurations, the benchmarking process is more of an art than science. However, the results of this process drive modern science and are vital for the community to draw sensible conclusions on the performance of applications and systems.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IEEE EUC 2019 - The 17th IEEE International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing - August 1–3, 2019 New York, USA http://www.cloud-conf.net/EUC/2019/index.html ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INTRODUCTION With the rapid development and increasing complexity of computer systems and communication networks, user requirements for embedded and ubiquitous computing are becoming more and more demanding. Therefore, there is a grand challenge that traditional computing techniques may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, mobile, wireless, and distributed computing environments. As a result, we need to build embedded systems and networks based on ubiquitous computing. As important and innovative technologies, embedded and ubiquitous computing techniques are attracting researchers with more and more attention. Embedded ubiquitous computing is promising to improve people’s quality of life by creating new applications based on data processing in IoT network. Many research efforts have been performed on novel processing and communication architectures, technologies and management strategies. Embedded ubiquitous computing systems can leverage wireless sensor networks to collect and process data and use cloud technologies, peer-to-peer systems, and big data paradigms to provide computing and analytics capabilities. Nowadays, because of the growth of smart devices, embedded ubiquitous computing technologies and combined with cyber world to provide many smart services, the Internet of Things (IoT) became more promising to realize that various embedded applications allow users to enjoy more comprehensive services. As an emerging research topic, embedded ubiquitous computing relate to and support a computing vision for a greater range including smart devices (mobile, wireless, service), smart environments (of embedded system devices) and smart interaction (between devices). The EUC conference aims, as such, to provide a platform for the dissemination of recent research efforts that explicitly aim at addressing these challenges, and supports the presentation of advanced solutions in these areas. TOPIC Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Data analysis and data management for embedded and ubiquitous computing - Applications for embedded and ubiquitous computing - Parallel and distributed systems - Mobile systems and applications for embedded and ubiquitous computing - Enhanced living environments and smart habitats for older adults - Security, safety and reliability/dependability - Hardware architectures and design tools - Software and programming tools for embedded and ubiquitous computing PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeeuc2019) The submissions should be formatted with the IEEE 8.5 x 11 inches two-column format with 10-12 point font.
