Dear All, Our next workshop, Emerging Software as a Service and Analytics 2015 (ESaaSA 2015; pronounced as E-Saa-Sa) will be hosted between May 20-22, 2015 in Lisbon, Portugal. The proceedings will be submitted to well-known indexes such as ISI, INSPEC, DBLP, EI and Scopus. Extension and improvement of workshop papers can be considered to be published in International Journal of Organizational and Collective Intelligence (IJOCI) or Open Journal of Big Data (OJBD). Exceptional papers may be considered to high-quality journals that I'll be involved. I hope that you can submit a paper and enjoy a wonderful time in Lisbon! Thanks and regards. Victor --- Introduction Our workshop presents a summary of Emerging Software as a Service and Analytics (ESaaSA), which offer innovative approaches of delivering services and making contributions to research and enterprise communities. Following the successful delivery of ESaaSA 2014, we oversee the importance of ESaaSA as a unique and rising field and all services in SaaS should always be designed, deployed and integrated. Emerging means innovative techniques and methods used for the traditional areas (finance, healthcare, education, security etc) or new areas (mobile apps, social networks, weather visualization, Big Data processing etc). We will seek papers to demonstrate proofs-of-concept, demonstrations, design and implementations, successful case studies and use cases of adopting ESaaSA.

*** ******************************************************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 2015 PLC Workshop Programming Models, Languages and Compilers for Manycore and Heterogeneous Architectures http://web.cs.uh.edu/~hpctools/plc2015/ May 25, 2015 - Hyderabad, India *************************************************************************************** Co-located with 29th IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2015) Three essential pillars to successful parallel computing - Productivity, Portability, Performance. Creating software for heterogeneous systems can be quite complex especially when the low-level details need to be managed and abstracted from the programmer. Emerging standards are providing an incremental development to target heterogeneous architectures, be it NVIDIA, ARM, Intel or AMD. We all know software is an expensive investment. Portability is necessary, ensuring long lifetime of the software and thus reducing the maintenance cost. Other challenges include locality and memory issues, load balancing, hiding latency with concurrency and so on. This workshop aims to brainstorm ways to make programming heterogeneous systems less challenging and more interesting. We believe that this workshop will provide a forum for the presentation and discussions of research on all aspects of heterogeneous systems programming models, compiler optimizations, language extensions, and software tools for such systems. Areas of interest include but are not limited to the following topics: - Multicore processors, Heterogeneous systems, Accelerators - Programming models: thread and task based models, data parallel models, stream programming - Programming environments for heterogeneous systems - OpenMP for Accelerator - OpenACC - OpenCL/CUDA - OpenHMPP and other related models - Compiler optimizations and tuning heterogeneous systems - Parallelization and loop transformations - Locality optimizations - SIMDization/Vectorization - Reducing synchronization and scheduling overheads on heterogeneous systems - Tiling, parametric tiling and offloading - Runtime systems for multicore processors, heterogeneous systems, accelerators - Debuggers, and performance analysis tools for heterogeneous system and accelerators - Application and Benchmarks IMPORTANT DATES *Paper Submission Deadline: January 12th, 2015* Paper Acceptance Notification: February 13th, 2015 Camera Ready Due: February 28th, 2015 Workshop Date: May 25th, 2015 PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community.

CFP for Special issue of Springer IJPP on "Workload Optimized Systems"
by Parijat Dube 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Springer International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP) Special Issue on Workload Optimized Systems ======================================================================= The slowdown in Moore's Law makes it increasingly important to optimize systems around specific workloads. Such workload optimized systems have hardware and/or software specifically designed to run well for a particular workload or workload class. Such systems include, but are not limited to traditional CPUs assisted with accelerators (ASICs, FPGAs, GPUs), memory accelerators, I/O accelerators, hybrid systems, and IT appliances. This workload optimized system approach contrasts to the broad general purpose direction of computing over many decades. The workload optimized systems approach is growing in importance, as we see in systems from cellphones to tablets to routers to game machines to Top500 supercomputers, and IT appliances such as IBM's DataPower and Netezza, and Oracle's Exadata. The goal of this special issue is to foster awareness in industry and academic community on workload optimized systems and to expose cross hw/sw stack unique systems and software research challenges associated with such systems. All submitted papers are subject to the same review process as those papers accepted for publication in the regular issues. The special issue seeks original papers on a range of topics related to workload optimized systems including, but not limited to GPUs, FPGAs, ASIC Accelerators Memory and I/O accelerators Network accelerators Storage optimized systems System level accelerators IT Appliances Systems in specific domains like analytics, cloud, cognitive, mobile etc. Converged/Hybrid/Heterogeneous systems Cross hardware/software stack design and optimization Programming models for workload optimized systems Measurements and Experimentation Workload characterization and profiling Performance modeling and optimization Workload scheduling and orchestration Runtime management systems Industrial Experiences =============== Important Dates =============== Manuscript due: March 27, 2015 Initial Notice: June 5, 2015 Revisions Due: July 10, 2015 Final Notification: Aug 14, 2015 Final Versions Due: Sep 11, 2015 =========== Submissions =========== Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality, original work that has neither appeared in, nor is under consideration by, other journals.
