3rd CFP SYNASC 2013 : Distributed Computing Track (extended deadline)
by Marc-Eduard Frincu 30 May '13

30 May '13

============================= Call for Papers ============================ ======> SYNASC - distributed computing track 2013 (extended deadline) <====== ============================================================================= 15th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing SYNASC 2013 Distributed computing track http://www.synasc.ro/tracks/distributed-computing/ During the past 14 years SYNASC (http://synasc13.info.uvt.ro) has built a strong nucleus of researchers which gather every year to discuss their ongoing research. The multidisciplinary nature of the conference brings together people from various computer science areas, including symbolic computing, numerical analysis, multi-agent systems, nature inspired processing and distributed/parallel computing. All these are hot topics in computer science and provide the attendees with the chance of uncovering interdisciplinary research ideas and concrete use cases for their work. Among them, distributed computing, with an increasing interest in clouds and HPC on clouds, is in the unique position of being at the center of the scene. It allows researchers from various fields to extend their experiments and test their ideas on large scale infrastructures. In this frame the Distributed Computing track is a great opportunity for scientists working on topics related to clouds, grids, P2P, Internet of things or distributed systems in general to present their work, discover new challenges and find real use cases and applications for their research. With the global focus leaning towards (inter-) cloud and utility computing researchers start to feel the benefit of these systems too. However we feel there is much to be done before existing applications from other fields can be fully ported on these new platforms. SYNASC and the Distributed Computing track is therefore a great opportunity for addressing the interdisciplinary applicability of distributed systems. ------------------- Topics of interest: ------------------- We invite both researchers and practitioners to submit their work and join us in addressing these challenges. Work-in-progress and mature research papers in the following non-exhaustive areas are welcomed: - parallel and distributed algorithms for clouds, GPUs, HPC, P2P systems, autonomous systems. Work should focus on scheduling, scaling, load balancing, networks, fault-tolerance, gossip algorithms, energy saving; - applications for parallel and distributed systems, including work on cross disciplinary (scientific) applications for grids/clouds, web applications, workflow platforms, network measurement tools, programming environments; - architectures for parallel and distributed systems, including self-managing and autonomous systems, negotiation protocols, HPC on clouds, GPU processing, PaaS for (inter)cloud, brokering platforms, mobile computing; - modeling of parallel and distributed systems including models on resources and networks, semantic representation, negotiation, social networks, trace management, simulators; - any other topic deemed relevant to the field. --------------------------- Important conference dates: --------------------------- 07 April 2013 : Special sessions / Workshops / Tutorials proposals 23 June 2013 : Abstract submission 30 June 2013 : Paper submission 04 August 2013 : Notification of acceptance 01 September 2013 : Registration 08 September 2013 : Revised papers according to the reviews 23-26 September 2013 : Symposium 30 November 2013 : Final papers for post-proceedings ----------------- Paper submission: ----------------- Paper submission should not exceed 8 IEEE double column format pages and should be submitted using the electronic EasyChair system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=synasc2013) Submitted work will benefit from a blind review of at least 3 experts in the area and will be judged based on their relevance to the track, novelty, clarity of text and future impact. Prospective authors must demonstrate their intention of submitting their work by first submitting a 1/2 page abstract clearly indicating the main purpose and contributions of their paper. A special issue for the distributed track is planned to be published with the Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience Journal. SCPE is a quarterly open access journal indexed in Scopus, DBLP, DOAJ and EBSCO. The journal is currently under ISI Thomson review. More information about it can be found at http://www.scpe.org/ . ------ Venue: ------ The city of Timisoara, Romania, hosts several prestigious academic institutions (the West University, the “Politehnica” University, the University of Medicine, and others). The city and the surrounding region have an unique history in Romania, being over the centuries an object of dispute for several states (Roman, Hungarian, Ottoman, Austrian), which left their still visible marks, and, above all, a very multicultural society which constitutes a beautiful example of harmony in Romania and in the Balkans (30 Km from Serbia). Timisoara is connected by direct flights with Bucharest, Budapest, Munich, Roma, London, Madrid and other cities in Europe. ---------------------- Chairs and committees: ---------------------- Program chair: Nikolaj Bjorner, Microsoft Research, US Track chairs: Marc Frincu, West University of Timisoara Romania and University of Strasbourg France Karoly Bosa, Johannes Kepler University, Austria PC members: Nikolaj Bjorner, Microsoft Research, USA Karoly Bosa, Research Institute for Symbolic Computation, Austria Valentin Cristea, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania Marc Frincu, West University of Timisoara Romania and University of Strasbourg, France Stéphane Genaud, INRIA, France Sylvia Ilieva, Sofia University, Bulgaria Michael Krieger, Research Institute for Symbolic Computation, Austria Cezary Mazurek, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center, Polland Dana Petcu, West University of Timisoara and e-Austria Research Institute, Romania Tomas Pitner, Masaryk University, Faculty of Informatics, Czech Republic Florin Pop, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania Radu Prodan, University of Innsbruck, Austria Romain Rouvoy, University Lille 1 - INRIA, France Wolfgang Schreiner, Research Institute for Symbolic Computation, Austria Frederic Suter, CNRS, France Mircea Trifu, FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik, Germany Jose Luis Vazquez-Poletti, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain

2nd CFP: Functional High-Performance Computing (FHPC 2013)
by Jost Berthold 30 May '13

30 May '13

===================================================================== 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS FHPC 2013 The 2nd ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Functional High-Performance Computing Boston, Massachusets September 23, 2013 http://www.hiperfit.dk/fhpc13.html Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2013) Submission Deadline: June 14, 2013 (anywhere on earth) ===================================================================== The FHPC workshop aims at bringing together researchers exploring uses of functional (or more generally, declarative or high-level) programming technology in application domains where large-scale computations arise naturally and high performance is essential. Such computations would typically -- but not necessarily -- involve execution on highly parallel systems ranging from multi-core multi-processor systems to graphics accelerators (GPGPUs), reconfigurable hardware (FPGAs), large-scale compute clusters or any combination thereof. It is becoming apparent that radically new and well founded methodologies for programming such systems are required to address their inherent complexity and to reconcile execution performance with programming productivity. The aim of the meeting is to enable sharing of results, experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative specifications of computationally challenging problems can serve as highly transparent, maintainable, and portable code that approaches (or even exceeds) the performance of machine-oriented imperative implementations. Each FHPC workshop proposes a particular theme for applications where high-performance computing and/or functional programming technology can be applied. For FHPC 2013, the theme is "Large-Scale Simulation", traditionally one of the main driving forces behind supercomputing. A large fraction of compute cycles in supercomputers worldwide is spent on simulation tasks, for various engineering tasks, drug design and other medical simulations, and in different natural science domains. Declarative languages have potential to radically change development practice and workflow for simulation software in these areas. Hence, we particularly encourage submission of application-oriented contributions in the area of simulation. As a general rule, while proposing the theme, the workshop welcomes submissions from all relevant application domains as well as those describing general work on the theory and practice of declarative high-performance computing. Proceedings: ============ Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. * Submission Deadline: 14 June 2013 (anywhere on earth) * Author Notification: 11 July 2013 * Final Papers Due : 25 July 2013 Submitted papers must be in portable document format (PDF), formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (2-column, 9pt format). See http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm for more information and style files. The page limit is 12 pages. Submission deadlines and page limit are firm. Contributions to FHPC 2013 should be submitted via Easychair, under https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fhpc2013. The submission site is now open. The FHPC workshops adhere to the ACM SIGPLAN policies regarding programme committee contributions and republication. Any paper submitted must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy. PC member submissions are welcome, but will be reviewed to a higher standard. http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Review http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication Travel Support: =============== Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses. PAC also offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe.

Call for papers: Dataflow Models for Extreme Scale Computing (DFM 2013)
by Stephane Zuckerman 29 May '13

29 May '13

(Apologies for multiple receptions) THIRD WORKSHOP ON DATA-FLOW EXECUTION MODELS FOR EXTREME SCALE COMPUTING (DFM 2013) to be held in conjunction with PACT 2013 September 8, 2013, Edinburgh, Scotland http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/dfmworkshop/ The First International workshop on "Data-Flow Models (DFM) for extreme scale computing" was held in Galveston Island, Texas in October 2011 in conjunction with PACT 2011. DFM 2012 was held in conjunction with PACT 2012 in Minneapolis, Minnesota in September 2012. The purpose of DFM continues being to bring together those researchers interested in novel computational models based on Data-Flow principles of execution. The switch to multi-core systems has raised concurrency to the level of a major issue if we are to use the increasing number of cores in a chip. In the past five decades, sequential computing dominated the computer architecture landscape because designers were successful at building faster and faster computers by solely relying on improvements on fabrication technologies and architectural/organization optimizations. The most severe limitation of the sequential model, namely its inability to tolerate long memory latencies has slowed down the performance gains. This phenomenon is the ubiquitous Memory Wall. While various mechanisms have been implemented to overcome the wall (such as extremely efficient hardware prefetch support for example), they only add to another wall that hampers highly efficient execution of programs and modern chip design: the Power Wall. Power considerations and heat dissipation issues have forced manufacturers to switch to multiple cores per chip and thus move into the concurrency era. New concurrent models/paradigms are needed in order to fully utilize the potential of Multi-core chips. The Data-flow model is a formal model that can handle concurrency and tolerate memory and synchronization latencies. Data-Flow inspired systems could also be simpler and more power efficient than conventional systems. Recent work has shown that the Data-Flow principles can be used to develop systems that can outperform systems based on conventional techniques. Thus, it is time to revisit Data-driven computation and bring it to the Multi-core and extreme scale computing. DFM 2013 solicits novel papers that include but are not limited to: - Novel Data-Flow inspired Execution models and architectures - Functional and Single assignment based Languages. - Strict and non-strict execution models. - Compilers and tools for Data-Flow/Data-Driven systems. - Hybrid Data-driven/Control-driven systems. - Position Papers on the Future of Data-Flow in the Multi-core era and beyond. All accepted papers will appear in the Computer Society Digital Library. Extended versions of the best papers will be published in a special issue of IJPP (International Journal on Parallel Programming).

27 May '13

[Apologies if you received multiple copies of this email.] Dear Colleagues, We invite your submissions to the Third Workshop on Parallel Algorithms and Software for Analysis of Massive Graphs (ParGraph http://cass-mt.pnnl.gov/pargraph.aspx ) to be held in conjunction with HiPC from December 18 – 21, 2013 in Hyderabad, India. The deadline for submissions is July 7, 2013. Call for Papers: Combinatorial algorithms play an important enabling role in several areas of science and engineering. Many combinatorial, machine learning, and graph algorithms in particular, are characterized by irregular data-access patterns that make efficient implementation challenging on both traditional HPC and commodity platforms. Architectural features, algorithmic design and software engineering techniques, and characteristics of the input collectively determine the performance of these algorithms. In addition, runtime support for irregular applications, programming models, the large-scale graph structure (sparse matrix) deserves attention for efficient storage, graph query and visualization for data analysis. With this workshop we aim to bring together system builders in industry and academia interested in combinatorial (graph), machine learning algorithms, data intensive applications involving them, and parallel computing. We seek submissions on broad topics of interest as listed below, but not limited to this: • Theory and Algorithms: o Combinatorial (graph) and machine learning algorithms and libraries o Algorithms for analysis of large complex networks (social network analysis) o Approximation algorithms and bounds • Design and performance evaluation of algorithms on: o Traditional architectures: massively parallel distributed-memory systems (IBM BlueGene, Cray XE), shared-memory multicore systems (Intel, AMD) o Nontraditional architectures: massively multithreaded architectures (Cray XMT), many core and tiled platforms (Nvidia, AMD, Tilera, Intel) • Applications: o Combinatorial Scientific Computing; Data Mining; Graph Mining o Big Data Application – Social graph analysis, Graphical Model, pattern matching, time-evolving graphs o Bioinformatics; Information (Cyber) security; Mobile computing o Visual Analytics; Graph Visualization • Programming paradigms and runtime support for irregular applications Submission Details: We seek high quality manuscripts detailing creative and original research. The manuscripts should not be currently under review at any other venue. Please do not exceed eight (8) pages following the HiPC paper formatting guidelines (http://www.hipc.org/hipc2013/papers.php) We will not consider submissions that deviate from the above guidelines.
