============================================================================ Call for Papers 2nd Workshop on High-performance and Real-Time Embedded Systems (HiRES 2014) <http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/hires2014> http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/hires2014 ============================================================================ To be held in conjunction with the 9th International Conference on High-Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC 2014) January 20, 2014, Vienna, Austria Goal of the Workshop -------------------- Increasingly, time is a relevant concern which impacts in all application areas and challenges ahead. Real-time requirements can be found in applications ranging from large-scale data processing systems to deeply embedded devices. Examples include safety-critical systems with high-performance requirements, such as collision avoidance and autonomous driving in avionics and automotive respectively, in which the correct timing behaviour is of paramount importance; consumer systems, such as video processing in TV sets and games; or real-time complex event processing applications, such as online trading or real-time traffic management. In all these applications, systems are expected to cope with an increasing demand of functional and non-functional requirements, with the corresponding increase in processing capabilities, paving the way for high-performance architectures, of which multi-core and many-core systems are becoming pervasive. The capabilities and challenges of parallelization as a means to provide higher performance is a cross-cutting concern. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and engineers in the confluence of high-performance, embedded systems and real-time systems. The goal is to allow for fruitful discussions on the challenges and research directions that should be tackled by the community. Papers are invited to illustrate current and future work in the theory and practice of the design and engineering of high-performance real-time embedded systems for a variety of application domains. Topics of interest ------------------ Topics of interest to this edition of the workshop include but are not limited to: - Runtimes and operating systems combining high-performance and predictability requirements; - Programming models and compiler support for providing real-time capabilities to multi- and many-core architectures; - Models and tools for code generation, system verification and validation; - Worst-case execution time analysis, parallel/dag-based task models, schedulability analysis of multi- and many-core systems; - Heterogeneous multi-core embedded real-time architectures, many-core accelerators; - Time-predictable multi- and many-core processor architectures; - Time-aware energy-efficiency. Paper submission ---------------- Submitted papers should use the LNCS format and should be 12 pages maximum. Submissions will be handled through easychair.

============================================================ Special Issue on Parallel Soft Computing Techniques in High Performance Computing Systems of the The Computer Journal (2012 Impact Factor 0.755) http://www.bernabe.dorronsoro.es/imagenes/cfp/CJ-SI-CFP.pdf ============================================================ Nowadays, there is a need to solve more and more complex optimization problems in industry, science, engineering, and many other domains. Soft computing techniques are highly appropriate methods to deal with such complex problems (that cannot be tackled with exact methods) with reasonable computational effort. Additionally, due to the growing complexity and computational demands of such problems and the widespread availability of powerful parallel architectures (GPUs, multicore CPUs, clusters, grids, and clouds), parallel soft computing algorithms arise as highly appropriate tools to handle these problems. This special issue focusses on novel advances in parallel soft computing algorithms and their application to the resolution of complex real-world problems to find accurate solutions in reasonable time. We look for high quality publications proposing parallel soft computing techniques designed for multi-core processors, GPUs, and other large High Performance Computing systems as clusters, grid or cloud computing to solve complex real-world problems. Additionally, works proposing novel soft computing/metaheuristic/parallel algorithms applied to solve complex problems in the context of clusters, grid or cloud computing are of interest too. With this special issue, we aim at collecting a number of diverse, outstanding papers with important theoretical and empirical contributions to the field of soft computing, including novel efficient parallel models, new soft computing techniques, and their applications to complex and original real world problems. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: • Parallel soft computing techniques for cluster/grid/cloud computing • Parallel soft computing techniques on GPGPUs and clusters of GPGPUs • Parallel soft computing techniques for complex real-world problems • Soft computing based solutions for cluster/grid/cloud computing related problems • Performance measures for parallel soft computing techniques • Reliable parallel soft computing algorithms for uncertain distributed environments • Massively parallel soft computing algorithms • Peer to peer soft computing techniques • Volunteer and ubiquitous soft computing ================================= Notes for Prospective Authors ================================= Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. They should be submitted via The Computer Journal's online submission system, manuscript Central, at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/compj. They should be accompanied by a cover letter that clearly states that the submission is for the Special Issue on “Parallel Soft Computing Techniques in High Performance Computing Systems”.

In the context of high-performance parallel and distributed computing, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to: o Systems, networks, and architectures for high-end computing o Massively multicore systems o Resource virtualization o Programming languages and environments o I/O, storage systems, and data management o Resource management and scheduling, including energy-aware techniques o Performance modeling and analysis o Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability o Data-intensive computing o Applications of parallel and distributed computing **** PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES **** Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 12 pages in PDF format, including figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM Proceedings Style (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and submitted via the conference web site. No changes to the margins, spacing, or font sizes as specified by the style file are allowed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, and will be incorporated into the ACM Digital Library. A limited number of papers will be accepted as posters. Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance required for the program committee to evaluate their contributions. Papers should thoughtfully address all related work, particularly work presented at previous HPDC events. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or a journal. See the ACM Prior Publication Policy (http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/sim_submissions) for more details. **** HPDC'14 GENERAL CO-CHAIRS **** Beth Plale, Indiana University Matei Ripeanu, University of British Columbia **** HPDC'14 PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS **** Franck Cappello, Argonne National Lab and INRIA Dongyan Xu, Purdue University **** HPDC'14 PUBLICITY CHAIR **** Ioan Raicu, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA **** HPDC'14 PROGRAM COMMITTEE **** To be announced on the conference web site. **** HPDC STEERING COMMITTEE **** Henri Bal, Vrije Universiteit Andrew A.
