GrAPL 2019: Workshop on Graphs, Architectures, Programming, and Learning
http://hpc.pnl.gov/grapl
Co-Located with IPDPS 2019
May 20, 2019
Hilton Rio De Janeiro
Brazil
-----------------------------
GrAPL is the result of the combination of two IPDPS workshops:
GABB: Graph Algorithms Building Blocks
GraML: Workshop on The Intersection of Graph Algorithms and Machine Learning
-----------------------------
Data analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of computer science. Much of the recent focus in Data Analytics has emphasized machine learning. This is understandable given the success of deep learning over the last decade. However, many real-world analytic workloads are a mix of graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in Graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop’s scope is broad which is a natural outgrowth of the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows.
The objectives of this workshop are as follows:
* Understand data analytics workflows and the mix of graph and machine learning algorithms they require
* Understand the synergies between evolving device technology and graph analytics applications to drive: 1) the direction of emerging hardware and software architecture, 2) new graph analytics algorithms that better exploit the emerging hardware; and 3) application workflows that mix the large graph synthesis and analytics and machine learning.
* Explore different frameworks, languages and libraries to support programming graph analytics and machine learning algorithms
* Evaluate the performance and scalability of integrated platforms for large graph synthesis and analysis, and machine learning
While each of these topics on their own are well addressed in other workshops, we are particularly interested in the cross-cutting synergies. For example, hardware and software architectures specialized for machine learning (and in particular deep learning) may be poorly suited for graph algorithms. Can we understand these conflicting needs and perhaps find an architecture jointly optimized for both?
This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. We are particularly interested in papers that:
* Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning;
* Discuss programming models and associated frameworks such as Pregel, Galois, Boost, GraphBLAS, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs;
* Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms;
* Discuss the problem domains and problems addressable with graph methods, machine learning methods, or both;
* Provide tractability performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows.
Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.

AW4city 2019, 5th International ACM Smart City Workshop: Enhancing Urban
Mobility with Web Applications
In conjunction with The Web Conference (WWW'19): 29th World Wide Web
International Conference, San Francisco, May 13, 2019
http://aw4city2019.wordpress.com
Important Dates
-------------------------
Extended submissions due: Feb 14, 2019, 2019 (23:59 Anywhere on Earth
(AoE) time zone)
Notification of Acceptance: Feb. 21, 2019.
Camera-ready version due: Mar. 3, 2019.
Workshop authors' registration and camera-ready papers: Mar. 3, 2019
Workshop day: May 13, 2019
Workshop Objective
----------------------------
Following up the success of the past events at WWW2015, WWW2016, WWW2017
and WWW2018, the 5th AW4City 2019 aims to keep on attracting a
significant international attention with regard to web applications for
smart cities.
This year, AW4City emphasizes on the contribution of web applications
and Apps to urban mobility. In the era of cities and under the UN 2030
Agenda for sustainable growth, cities are making an important shift
regarding thinking of compact cities and they develop sustainable
mobility plans. Issues like parking, traffic congestion and safety,
sharing transportation and smart parking are among the topics where
governments and the industry direct smart services, while data
collection and analysis enable government's fast -or even real-time-
decision-making for alternative transportation means' deliberation,
public transportation changes, urban planning etc., and new business
models appear that utilize platforms and data. Additionally, new types
of business in transportation appear (e.g., that utilize sensors and big
data), while things' transportation is another challenge that cities
have been started phasing. Τhis workshop aims to demonstrate how web
applications and Apps can enhance transportation services and urban
mobility in general.
The aim of this workshop is to address web-based application and Apps'
design and development in the smart city and urban context. More
specifically, it focuses on innovative applications smart city component
and more specifically on the design and implementation of web-based
applications and Apps. This component is crucial, since it addresses all
the smart city dimensions:
* Economy, since new types of entrepreneurship and innovative business
models appear in data, creative and climate economies, and develop web
applications and Apps.
* Mobility, with regard to urban transportation (intelligent
transportation), distance working, job offering demonstration etc.
* Environment, since applications enhance resource management,
transportation improvement, environmental monitoring etc.
* Living, since applications enhance local life (i.e., e-learning,
e-banking, e-commerce, e-tourism etc.).
* People, since they concern applications' end users and
* Governance, where open data and e-government applications play crucial
roles in smart city operation.
Theoretical concepts, empirical evidence and selected case studies from
leading scholars and practitioners in the field showing the "big
picture" of smart cities and urban areas will be examined in this
workshop.
This workshop aims at gathering researchers from the fields of smart
cities and web application development to think about the obstacles that
hurdle the leveraging of understanding and capturing of smart city
trends with regard web application development that interconnect
citizens, businesses and government in a smart city.
AW4City 2019 is timely since sustainable transportation has been
addressed as one of the UN Agenda 2030 strategic goals, while ISO37120
and ISO37122 that certify city services focus on smart and sustainable
transportation too. Last but not least, customer satisfaction is being
measured real-time, while corresponding safety can be ensured with the
use of platforms (e.g., Uber and Lyft). All these issues are being
supported by data, the Web and Apps and it is important to focus on
future achievements.
Additionally, an increasing criticism is that smart city represents an
ambiguous urban utopia, which is supported by the partnership of local
governments with big technological vendors. Articles can deliver a
clearer view of smart city reality, while innovative applications can
strengthen the existence of opportunities for new entrants in the smart
city market. Moreover, most standardization bodies evolve competitive
standards for smart city components and to this end, this workshop is
expected to highlight existing development and trends with regard to
application development (web-based, apps and end-to-end).
We target researchers from both industry and academia to join forces in
this exciting area. We intend to discuss the recent and significant
developments in the general areas of smart cities and web applications
and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, we aim
at identifying trends and respective applications in smart cities; the
potential impact of smart city in web applications; techniques from
end-to-end solutions' or apps' development that will enable researchers
to understand the dynamic phenomena in smart cities, as well as specify
important directions for the research communities. Standards for web
applications' development in smart cities is interesting for several
areas such as sustainability, crisis management, marketing, security,
and interoperability. To address the above mentioned aspects, we solicit
the following topics (but not limited to):
* Enhancing mobility experience with Web Applications and Apps;
* Apps that support mobility, sharing, crowd-sourcing etc.;
* Smart City management systems with emphasis on mobility (e.g. parking;
traffic etc.);
* Mobility Practices of Web applications and Apps in smart cities;
* Theoretical foundations on Smart City applications and standards;
* Creative partnerships, creative industries and industry 4.0 in Smart
City with a focus on application development (Internet Economics and
Monetization);
* Pervasive Web and Mobility for Smart City emerging topics (i.e., user
behavior analytics, energy, water, waste, transportation etc.)
* The role of mobility partners for smart city applications development
and standardization (i.e., promotion push, start-ups, open data);
* Web Infrastructure standardization;
* The role of standards on smart city data mining;
* Smart city mobility e-services;
* Smart city information quality and evolution in social content;
* Ensuring mobility security and privacy in Smart Cities: the role of
web applications and Apps.
