*************************************************************************** We apologize for multiples copies. Please circulate this CFP among your colleagues and students. *************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS [ContextQoS 2015] 5th International Workshop on Context-aware Quality of Service Engineering and Management for Cyber Physical Systems Emerging Networks, Applications and Services Important Dates Abstract due: February 19th, 2015 Paper due: February 26th, 2015 Author Notification: April 13th, 2015 Camera-ready due: May 8th, 2015 In conjunction with 24th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN) 2015 from August 3 - 6, 2015 in Las Vegas, NV, USA! ICCCN is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society. The Proceedings of the ICCCN 2015 has already been accepted in the IEEE Conference Publication Program. Workshop papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be EI indexed. For more information: http://www.contextqos.org **************************************************************************** Context-aware QoS provisioning and management (also known as context-aware performance engineering) has many facets and most of the time novel tailored schemes are required to provide an appropriate level of QoS for different types of networks, applications and services. The provisioning of a certain level of QoS according to the requirements of an entire context can hardly be accomplished in special networks, e. g. for Advanced Manufacturing, using traditional QoS provisioning and management schemes because these do not account for the requirements introduced by the new dynamic networks and applications. The definition of a certain level of QoS using the traditional models is just driven by technical aspects of the running applications. Novel context-aware schemes have to be developed to cope with the challenges given by these special networks. These must account for the dynamic requirements and ideally allow to permit system-independent usage. Advanced Manufacturing is only one example for a new type of network that has to face special requirements. Context-awareness is required in several types of networks and for different types of applications and services. All of these are different. E.g., the occurring network traffic in Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks cannot be compared to network traffic of a corporate Intra-Network. Each of them have different constraints and demands that should be covered by a context-aware QoS provisioning and management system. This workshop, among other things, wants to bring together researchers to present and discuss novel approaches and solutions as well as recent results in this area of research, e.g. specially designed for Advanced Manufacturing, Cloud and Grid Computing, Wireless Mesh Networks, Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Wireless and Mobile Sensor Networks, Private Home Networks as well as other types of Cyber Physical Systems and Networks. Technical Topics * Performance engineering for Advanced Manufacturing * QoS for mission critical communications * Recognition of performance relevant context-patterns * Context-pattern transformation for QoS provisioning * Autonomous context-aware traffic classification * Concepts for achieving transparency to co-existing QoS mechanisms * Security and privacy of context-aware QoS approaches * Control protocols for distributed QoS provisioning and management * Performance-driven routing protocols and algorithms * Cross-platform QoS control * Context-dependent energy management * Cognitive QoS patterns in multi-agent systems * Implementation of context-aware QoS-drivers and middlewares * Concepts for usage of context-aware QoS approaches * Performance analysis of context-aware QoS approaches * Real-Time concepts for context-aware QoS control * Context-aware transmit power control * and all other topics not named at this point, but belonging to the main topic of this workshop Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via Easychair as PDF files (formatted for 8.5×11-inch paper).

Deadline Extended --- GABB 2015 co-located with IPDPS 2015
by Aydin Buluc 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

[Apologies if you received multiple copies of this announcement] CALL FOR PAPERS (Extended full paper deadline: January 29, 2015) Graph Algorithm Building Blocks (GABB) 2015 An IPDPS 2015 Workshop, May 25, 2015, Hyderabad, India === Scope and Goals === The Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms, introduced over 30 years ago, had a transformative effect on software for linear algebra. With the BLAS, researchers spend less time mapping algorithms onto specific features of hardware platforms and more time on interesting new algorithms. Would it be practical to define an analogous set of basic building blocks for graph algorithms? Can we define a core set of mathematical primitives from which we can build most (if not all) important graph algorithms? If we can agree on the mathematical foundations, how would these interact with the data structures used in graph algorithms and result in an API the graph algorithms research community could support? These questions will be the topic for the second “Graph Algorithms Building Blocks” workshop. Our goal is an interactive workshop where the full range of issues behind “Graph Algorithms Building Blocks” will be explored. We want an interactive “workshop” so papers that report preliminary results and unproven but interesting ideas will be considered. === Submission and Dates === Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references (see IPDPS Call for Papers for more details). Papers shorter than 10 pages are welcome and even encouraged. All papers will be reviewed. IEEE CS Press will publish the IPDPS symposium and workshop abstracts as a printed volume. The complete symposium and workshop proceedings will also be published by IEEE CS Press on CD-ROM and will also be available in the IEEE Digital Library. *- Due dates: * *full papers due 29 Jan 2015,* *author notification 14 Feb 2015, * *camera-ready due 28 Feb 2015.* - Workshop web page: http://www.graphanalysis.org/workshop2015.html === Presentation at the workshop === It is expected that each accepted submission will be presented at the workshop, which will be held (one day) in conjunction with IPDPS 2015, May 25, 2015, in Hyderabad, India. === Program Committee === Tim Mattson, Intel Corp.

CFP (deadline extended): The Eleventh International Workshop on High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing (HP-PAC)
by Song, Shuaiwen 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************** ================================================ The Eleventh IEEE Workshop on High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing (HP-PAC) May 29, 2015 to be held in conjunction with IPDPS May 25 - 29, 2015 Hyderabad, India ================================================ SCOPE ----- High-performance computing is and has always been performance-oriented. However, a consequence of the push towards maximum performance is increased energy consumption, especially in datacenters and supercomputing centers. Moreover, as peak performance is rarely attained, some of this energy consumption results in little or no performance gain. In addition, large energy consumption costs datacenters and supercomputing centers a significant amount of money and wastes natural resources. The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in high-performance, power-aware computing (HPPAC). HPPAC will present research that reduces (1) power consumption, (2) energy consumption, or (3) heat generation with little or no performance penalty in high-performance computing systems. In effect, the workshop aims to move towards "greener" solutions for datacenters and supercomputing centers. Examples include Green Destiny (2001), The Green Grid (2007), The Green500 List (2007), and the INRIA Green-Net Initiative (2008). Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following. . Novel power-aware architectures for HPC . Power-aware middleware for HPC . Power-aware runtime systems for HPC . Reduced power/energy/heat algorithms & applications . Power- or cooling-constrained systems, software stacks, or application . Surveys or studies of power/energy/heat usage of HPC applications and systems PROCEEDINGS ----------- The proceedings of this workshop will be published together with the proceedings of other IPDPS '15 workshops by the IEEE Digital Library. PAPER SUBMISSIONS ----------------- All papers should not exceed 8 single-spaced, double column pages (US Letter) in 10pt font. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the printed program book and CD-ROM proceedings of the main conference, IPDPS2015. The submission site is now open: http://hppac.cs.vt.edu/submit.html IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submission: 18 January 2015 at 11:59PM EST Author notification: 14 February 2015 Camera-ready due: 28 February 2015 WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS ------------------ Wu Feng, Virginia Tech, USA Barry Rountree, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA PUBLICITY CHAIR ------------------- Shuaiwen Leon Song, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Patrick Bridges, University of New Mexico, USA Laura Carrington, San Diego Supercomputing Center, USA Roberto Gioiosa, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA Carla Guillen, Leibniz Supercomputing Center, Germany Joseph Greathouse, AMD, USA Chung-Hsing Hsu, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA James Laros, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Aniruddha Marathe, University of Arizona, USA Naoya Maruyama, RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science, Japan Tali Moreshet, Boston University, USA Mustafa Rafique, IBM Research, Ireland Suzanne Rivoire, Sonoma State University, USA Thomas Scogland, Lawenrce Livermore National Laboratory, USA Balaji Subramaniam, Virginia Tech, USA CONTACT INFO ------------ web: http://hppac.cs.vt.edu/ email: Wu Feng [feng(a)cs.vt.edu] Barry Rountree [rountree4(a)llnl.gov] and Shuaiwen Leon Song[Shuaiwen.Song(a)pnnl.gov] ----------------------------- Shuaiwen Leon Song Staff Research Scientist Advanced Computing, Mathematics, and Data Division Pacific Northwest National Lab, Richland, Washington Office: 509-372-4189 Research Site: https://sites.google.com/site/shuaiwensongsresearch/
