IEEE DASC-2015 Call For Paper

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email] **************************** IEEE DASC-2015 CFP *************************** *The 13th IEEE International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing* *(DASC-2015)* http://cse.stfx.ca/~dasc2015/ *Liverpool, England, UK, 26-28 October 2015 * *Sponsored by* IEEE, IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Technical Committee of Scalable Computing (TCSC) INTRODUCTION ============= As computer systems become increasingly large and complex, their Dependability, Security and Autonomy play critical role at supporting next-generation science, engineering, and commercial applications. These systems consist of heterogeneous software/hardware/network components of changing capaDASCies, availability, and in varied contexts. They provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and thus are exposed to a number of dangers such as accidental/deliberate faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, natural disasters, etc. As a result, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly and therefore untrustworthy. Thus, it remains a challenge to design, analyse, evaluate, and improve the dependability and security for a trusted computing environment. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are autonomous, dependable, secure, privacy protect-able, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable and sustainable. The scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming the capability of system administrators, programmers, and designers. This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the requirements of self-management by providing self-optimization, self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising means to implement dependable and secure systems in a self-managing manner, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On the other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from computer science and engineering, to the natural sciences and the social sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and communication systems that support the effective and coherent integration of the constituent technologies. DASC-2015 will be held on 26-28 October 2015 in Liverpool, UK. It aims to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental and theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the areas of dependability, security, trust and/or autonomic computing systems. SCOPE AND TPOCIS ================ Topics of particular interests include the following tracks, but are not limited to: · Autonomic Computing Theory, Models, Architectures and Communications · Cloud Computing with Autonomic and Trusted Environment · Dependable Automatic Control Techniques and Systems · Dependability Models and Evaluation Algorithms · Dependable Sensors, Devices, Electronic-Mechanical Systems, Optic-Electronic Systems, Embedded Systems · Self-improvement in Dependable Systems · Self-healing, Self-protection and Fault-tolerant Systems · Hardware and Software Reliability, Verification and Testing · Software Engineering for Dependable Systems · vSafety-critical Systems in Transportation and Power System · Security Models and Quantifications · Trusted P2P, Web Service, SoA, SaaS, EaaS, and PaaS · Self-protection and Intrusion-detection in Security · DRM, Watermarking Technology, IP Protection · Context-aware Access Control · Virus Detections and Anti-virus Techniques/Software · Cyber Attack, Crime and Cyber War · Human Interaction with Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems · Security, Dependability and Autonomic Issues in Ubiquitous Computing · QoS in Communications and Services · Information and System Security · Reliable Computing and Trusted Computing · Wireless Emergency and Security Systems · Information Technology in Biomedicine · Multimedia Security Issues over Mobile and Wireless Networks · Multimedia in Mobile Computing: Issues, System Design, and Performance Evaluation · Software Architectures and Design for Emerging Systems · Software Engineering for Emerging Networks, Systems, and Mobile Systems · Service Oriented Architectures IMPORTANT DATES ================ Workshop Proposal 30 April 2015 Submission Deadline: 15 June 2015 Authors Notification: 15 August 2015 Camera-ready Paper Due: 15 September 2015 Registration Due: 15 September 2015 Conference Date: 26-28 October 2015 PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE ========================== All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference website (http://cse.stfx.ca/~dasc2015/sub/) with PDF format.

03 Apr '15

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this Call For Papers! GPUB 2015 - Workshop on GPU Supercomputing and Beyond - Application Performance Portability -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In conjunction with ICS 2015, 29th International Conference on Supercomputing, June 8 - 11, 2015, Newport Beach, California, http://www.ics-conference.org/ Many of today's top supercomputers are built with CPU+GPU nodes. As we move towards exascale, supercomputer nodes are becoming even more heterogeneous in terms of the types of processors, memories and storage used. The current practice of rewriting applications for each new node type is too costly and time consuming. Current industry approaches such as OpenMP and OpenACC address some but not all challenges, such as algorithm variations. This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers in applications, algorithms, languages, compilers, runtimes, and architecture to forge a vision for programming systems that will allow developers to write and maintain a single code base that achieves high performance on many of the diverse node types. GPUB 2015 will be a half day workshop with invited talks and paper presentations. * Call For Papers Position papers of up to five pages in ACM 2-column format are solicited on topics including the following: - Insights on performance portability challenges in heterogeneous computing - Practical programming systems for application performance portability - Algorithm strategies in building performance portable applications - Evaluation of programming systems that support performance portability * Important Dates - Paper submission deadline: April 30, 2015 - Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2015 - Workshop date: June 8 - 11, 2015 * More Info and Paper Submissions: http://bcw.ac.upc.edu/GPUB2015 * Organizing Committee Lorena A.

[CFP] - Special issue of PARCO: Theory and Practice of Irregular Applications (TaPIA) - Deadline EXTENDED
by Tumeo, Antonino 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email.] NOTE: Due to numerous requests, we have extended the submission deadline for the special issue of the journal until April 20. The new deadline is FIRM and no more extensions will be possible. CALL FOR PAPERS A broad class of applications is irregular. Irregular applications present unpredictable memory access patterns, control structures, and/or network transfers. They typically use pointer or linked lists-based data structures such as graphs, unbalanced trees, and unstructured grids. They often present fine-grained synchronization and communication, and generally operate on very large data sets. They have a significant degree of latent parallelism, which is however difficult to fully exploit because of their complex behavior. Beside performance, another significant concern for emerging irregular applications is the size of the datasets. In fact, modern irregular applications operate on massive amounts of data, often unstructured, which are very difficult to partition and easily generate load imbalance. Current high performance architectures rely on data locality, regular computations, structured data and easily partitionable datasets. They do not cope well with the requirements of these applications. Furthermore, irregular applications are difficult to scale on current supercomputing machines, because of their limits with fine-grained communication and synchronization. Irregular applications pertain both to well established and emerging fields, such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), bioinformatics, semantic graph databases, machine learning, analysis of social, transportation, communication and other types of networks, and computer security. Addressing the issues of these applications on current and future system architectures will become critical to solve the scientific challenges of the next few years. This special issue seeks to explore solutions for supporting efficient design, development and execution of irregular applications in the form of new features at the level of the micro- and system-architecture, network, languages and libraries, runtimes, compilers, analysis, algorithms. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to: * Micro- and System-architectures * Network and memory architectures * Manycore, hybrid, heterogeneous and custom architectures (Tilera, GPUs, FPGAs) * Modeling, evaluation and characterization of architectures for memory intensive and irregular applications * Innovative algorithmic techniques * Combinatorial (graph) algorithms and their applications * Parallelization techniques and data structures * Languages and programming models * Library and runtime support * Compiler and analysis techniques * Case studies of irregular applications (e.g. Semantic Graph Databases, Data Mining, Security, Bioinformatics) This special issue solicits both novel, unpublished work, and previously published, but significantly extended, approaches. Schedule Submission deadline: April 20 - 2015 — EXTENDED!
