30 Apr '13

6th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing December 9-12, 2013, Dresden, Germany http://ucc2013.inf.tu-dresden.de/ General Information ------------------- The 6th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2013) will be held in Dresden, Germany from December 9-12, 2013. Workshop proposals are invited for UCC 2013 on specific aspects of Utility and Cloud Computing, particularly relating to the subject areas indicated in the list of topics below. We encourage workshops that will discuss fundamental research issues driven by academic interests or applied workshops with an industry focus. The format of the workshop will be determined by the organizers of that workshop. Workshops can vary in length from a half day to a full day. Having a Co-Chair for the workshop is strongly advised. Workshop proceedings will be published as part of the UCC 2013 proceedings. Workshop attendees are required to register for the main conference. Important Dates --------------- Workshop proposals and any enquiries should be sent by e-mail to the workshop chairs (1) Shrideep Pallickara shrideep {aT} cs.colostate.edu and (2) Francisco Brasileiro fubica {aT} dsc.ufcg.edu.br. Proposals should be submitted in PDF format. Workshop Proposals Due: 10 May 2013 Notification of Acceptance: 24 May 2013 URL of Workshop: 10 June 2013 Workshops: December 2013 Proposal Requirements --------------------- Proposals for workshops should be no more than 2 pages in length. This should contain the following information. (1) Title and brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the goals and the technical issues that will be the focus of the workshop. (2) A brief description of why and to whom the workshop is of interest. (3) A list of related workshops or similar events held in the last 3 years, or to be held in 2013. (4) The names and contact information (web page, email address) of the proposed technical program committee. This committee should consist of at least 10 people knowledgeable about the technical issues to be addressed and preferably not more than two members of the same institution. (5) A description of the qualifications of the organizers (who would be the Workshop Chairs) with respect to organizing this workshop. This can include papers published in the proposed topic area, previous workshop organization, and other relevant information. Responsibilities ---------------- Workshop chair(s) will be responsible for the following: (1) Producing a web page and a "Call for Papers/Participation" for their workshop. The URL should be sent to the UCC-Workshops chairs. The call must make it clear that the workshop is open to all members of the Cloud, Grid and Cluster Computing community. It should mention that at least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop and that all workshop participants must pay the UCC 2013 workshop registration fee as well as the conference fee. Finally, it should also clearly describe the process by which the Organizing Committee will select the participants. (2) Ensure that all workshop papers are a maximum of 6 pages in length (in IEEE format). It is the responsibility of the workshop organizers to ensure that this page limit has been adhered to. Additional pages may be purchased (in some circumstances) subject to approval by the proceedings chair. (3) Provide a brief description of the workshop for the conference web page and program. (4) Selecting the participants and the format of the workshop. The publication of proceedings will be by the IEEE in the same volume as the main conference. The acceptance notification (by workshop chairs) therefore should be the same as "conference paper acceptance" notification (i.e. the dates should be the same). All other details can be up to workshop organizers to set. Advertising the workshop beyond the conference web page. (5) Assistance in producing a camera-ready version of the workshop proceedings. Important Note -------------- (1) If the workshop is too small (i.e. does not attract enough submissions) the UCC 2013 Organizing Committee may decide to merge that workshop with another. So we encourage workshop organizers to attract a large community. In extreme situations we may also cancel workshops if there are not enough submissions. (2) Workshop organizers must ensure that suitable quality measures have been taken to ensure that the accepted papers are of high quality. All papers must be reviewed by an International Technical Program Committee with a minimum of 3 reviews per paper. The workshop organizers should also try to observe an acceptance rate that is no higher than 50%. The UCC 2013 Conference Organizing Committee will be responsible for the following: • Providing a link to a workshop's local page. • Providing logistics support and a meeting place for the workshop. • In conjunction with the organizers, determining the workshop date and time. • Providing copies of the workshop proceedings to attendees. Topics of interest to the conference include (but are not restricted to): • Utility Computing Architecture, Model and Solutions • Data Management in Clouds • Information Management and Stream Processing • Programming Models • Software Engineering for Clouds • Clouds Dependability and Security • Energy Management in Data Centers • Service Level Agreements and Scheduling • Workflow Tools and Applications • Web 2.0 Technologies • Sensor Networks and Cloud Integrated Applications • Cloud-based Image Processing and Visualisation • Data Intensive Computational Biology Applications in Clouds

CfP: ROME2013 - 1st Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for the Many-core Era
by Stefan Lankes 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 1st Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for the Many-core Era (ROME 2013) August 26, 2013, Aachen, Germany held in conjunction with Euro-Par 2013, August 26 - August 30, 2013 Aachen, Germany http://www.lfbs.rwth-aachen.de/users/global/ROME2013/ ======================================================================== Submission deadline: May 31, 2013 Background ========= Since the beginning of the multicore era, parallel processing has become prevalent across the board. However, in order to continue a performance increase according to Moore's Law, a next step needs to be taken: away from common multicores towards innovative many-core architectures. Such systems, equipped with a significant higher amount of cores per chip than multicores, pose challenges in both hardware and software design. On the hardware side, complex on-chip networks, scratchpads and memory interfaces as well as cache-hierarchies, cache-coherence strategies and the building of coherency domains have to be taken into account. However, the ROME workshop focuses on the software side because without complying system software, runtime and operating system support, all these new hardware facilities cannot be exploited. Hence, the new challenges in hardware/software co-design are to step beyond traditional approaches and to wage new programming models and OS designs in order to exploit the theoretically available performance as effectively as possible. Topics ===== The focus of this workshop stands in the tradition of a successful series of events hosted by the Many-core Applications Research Community (MARC). Although this workshop is not considered as a self-contained MARC symposium, the organizers and several members of the tentative program committee are part of the MARC community. Authors from all related disciplines are invited to submit unpublished papers regarding software for novel many-core hardware architectures. - Operating system support for novel many-core architectures - Many-core aware runtime support for large-scale applications - Virtualization solutions to deal with hardware limitations - Tools for performance analysis on many-core systems - Dealing with legacy software on novel many-core architectures - New approaches for leveraging on-die messaging facilities - Experiences porting, running, or developing applications - Traditional and new programming models for novel many-core hardware - Bare-metal programming and system software - Power-aware many-core computing Program ======= The workshop takes place on Monday, August 26, 2013. It is scheduled as half-day. Detailed program TBD. Paper Submission, Registration, and Publication ====================================== Workshop papers must not exceed ten single-spaced, single-column pages (LNCS style). On acceptance of the submission, at least one author is required to register for workshop attendance at Euro-Par 2013 and present the paper in the workshop session. Upload your submission to our submission server in PDF format. It must not be simultaneously submitted to the main conference or any other publication outlet. For the workshop, we will prepare hand-outs with the revised papers. These will be published after the conference in the workshop proceedings of Euro-Par 2013, part of the LNCS series of Springer. Important Dates ============ May 31, 2013: Submission deadline July 8, 2013: Notification of acceptance August 15, 2013: Camera ready, revised papers due August 26, 2013: ROME 2013 Workshop Committees ========= - Carsten Clauss, RWTH Aachen University - Wolfgang Karl, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology - Stefan Lankes, RWTH Aachen University - Timothy G.

HUCAA'13 CFP: Workshop on Heterogeneous and Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications
by Federico Silla 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

(apologies if you receive multiple HUCAA publicity emails) ====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd International Workshop on Heterogeneous and Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications (HUCAA 2013) http://www.hucaa-workshop.org/hucaa2013 October 1st 2013 - Lyon, France In conjunction with the ICPP 2013 The 42nd International Conference on Parallel Processing ====================================================================== ABOUT THE WORKSHOP This workshop gears to gather recent work on heterogeneous and unconventional cluster architectures and applications, which might have a big impact on future cluster architectures. This includes any cluster architecture that is not based on the usual commodity components and therefore makes use of some special hard- or software elements, or that is used for very special and unconventional applications. In particular we call for GPUs and other accelerators (MIC, FPGA) used at cluster level. Other examples include virtualization, in-memory storage and device-to-device communication on the software side. We are in particular encouraging work on disruptive approaches, which may show inferior performance today but can already point out their full performance potential. The broad scope of the workshop facilitates submissions on unconventional uses of hardware or software, gearing to gather ideas that are coming to life now and not limiting them except for their context: clusters. We are seeking new proposals presented from a holistic perspective. In this regard, one of the aims of the workshop is anticipating the evolution of clusters. Instead of just presenting new work carried out in the traditional cluster areas usually addressed in other conferences and workshops, we are thinking on creating the right atmosphere for a discussion of opportunities in cluster computing. In this regard, contributions would not only be accepted according to their technical merits but also according to their contribution to this discussion. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include any heterogeneous or unconventional cluster architecture or application. Examples include, but are not limited to: - Clustered GPUs or other accelerators - High-performance, data-intensive, and power-aware computing - Application-specific clusters, datacenters, and cloud architectures - New industry and technology trends and their potential impact - Emerging programming paradigms for parallel computing - Software cluster-level virtualization for consolidation purposes - Hardware techniques for resource aggregation - Management layers for large-scale systems - New uses of GPUs, FPGAs, and other specialized hardware IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: May 13th, 2013 Notification of acceptance: June 21st, 2013 Camera-ready paper: July 12th, 2013 PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions may not exceed 8 pages (two column, single spaced, 10pt font, 81⁄2×11-inch pages) in PDF format including figures and references. We recommend a minimum of 6 pages. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or journal. Work in progress is welcome, but first results should be made available as a proof of concept. Submissions only consisting of a proposal will be rejected. Please visit http://www.hucaa-workshop.org/hucaa2013 for additional details. EXTENDED PAPER JOURNAL VERSION The authors of the best papers from the workshop will be directly invited to submit an extended version for a special issue on a JCR journal. From the rest of the papers presented in the workshop, selected ones will be invited to submit an extended version. These papers will undergo a shepherding process in order to provide the authors with guidance for improving their work. Shepherds will be selected from the program committee members, which will also ensure the quality of the new versions. Notice that this special issue will be open to other works not previously submitted to the workshop, although these new papers will compete with the shepherded ones, which will have higher priority for similar quality.

CfP: 6th Workshop on Productivity and Performance (PROPER)
by Schulz, Martin 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

============================================================================= Call for Papers 6th Workshop on Productivity and Performance held in conjunction with Euro-Par 2013, Aachen, Germany August 26 or 27, 2013 http://www.vi-hps.org/events/proper/2013.html Submission Deadline: May 31st 2013 ============================================================================= Driven by current trends in microprocessor design, the number of processor cores and hardware threads available on modern supercomputers grows rapidly from generation to generation while the amount of memory per core will be decreasing. To keep pace, applications need to harness much higher degrees of parallelism while ensuring efficient use of the underlying computing resources, which can be highly concurrent many core systems or heterogeneous accelerator architectures (or a combination of both). Additionally, applications must adhere to additional constraints, in particular with respect to power consumption (both peak and average power) and resilience. Writing codes that run correctly and efficiently on such complex systems is extraordinarily challenging. At the same time, applications themselves are becoming more complex as well, which can be seen in emerging scale- bridging applications, the integration of Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), or advances in algorithms. Combined, these trends place higher and higher demands on the application development process and thus require adequate tool support for debugging and performance analysis. The PROPER workshop will serve as a forum to present novel work on scalable methods and tools for high-performance computing.

CfP: ROME2013 - 1st Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for the Many-core Era
by Carsten Clauss 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 1st Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for the Many-core Era (ROME 2013) August 26, 2013, Aachen, Germany held in conjunction with Euro-Par 2013, August 26 - August 30, 2013 Aachen, Germany http://www.lfbs.rwth-aachen.de/users/global/ROME2013/ ======================================================================== Submission deadline: May 31, 2013 Background ========= Since the beginning of the multicore era, parallel processing has become prevalent across the board. However, in order to continue a performance increase according to Moore's Law, a next step needs to be taken: away from common multicores towards innovative many-core architectures. Such systems, equipped with a significant higher amount of cores per chip than multicores, pose challenges in both hardware and software design. On the hardware side, complex on-chip networks, scratchpads and memory interfaces as well as cache-hierarchies, cache-coherence strategies and the building of coherency domains have to be taken into account. However, the ROME workshop focuses on the software side because without complying system software, runtime and operating system support, all these new hardware facilities cannot be exploited. Hence, the new challenges in hardware/software co-design are to step beyond traditional approaches and to wage new programming models and OS designs in order to exploit the theoretically available performance as effectively as possible. Topics ===== The focus of this workshop stands in the tradition of a successful series of events hosted by the Many-core Applications Research Community (MARC). Although this workshop is not considered as a self-contained MARC symposium, the organizers and several members of the tentative program committee are part of the MARC community. Authors from all related disciplines are invited to submit unpublished papers regarding software for novel many-core hardware architectures. - Operating system support for novel many-core architectures - Many-core aware runtime support for large-scale applications - Virtualization solutions to deal with hardware limitations - Tools for performance analysis on many-core systems - Dealing with legacy software on novel many-core architectures - New approaches for leveraging on-die messaging facilities - Experiences porting, running, or developing applications - Traditional and new programming models for novel many-core hardware - Bare-metal programming and system software - Power-aware many-core computing Program ======= The workshop takes place on Monday, August 26, 2013. It is scheduled as half-day. Detailed program TBD. Paper Submission, Registration, and Publication ====================================== Workshop papers must not exceed ten single-spaced, single-column pages (LNCS style). On acceptance of the submission, at least one author is required to register for workshop attendance at Euro-Par 2013 and present the paper in the workshop session. Upload your submission to our submission server in PDF format. It must not be simultaneously submitted to the main conference or any other publication outlet. For the workshop, we will prepare hand-outs with the revised papers. These will be published after the conference in the workshop proceedings of Euro-Par 2013, part of the LNCS series of Springer. Important Dates ============ May 31, 2013: Submission deadline July 8, 2013: Notification of acceptance August 15, 2013: Camera ready, revised papers due August 26, 2013: ROME 2013 Workshop Committees ========= - Timothy G.
