In the process of doing so, a large amount of data with different formats and content has to be processed efficiently, quickly and intelligently through advanced algorithms, techniques, models and tools. This new paradigm is enabled by the maturity of several different technologies, including the internet, wireless communication, cloud computing, sensors, big data analytics and machine learning algorithms. Big Data is another paradigm to describe processing of data to make it 'make sense' to people using IoT. Big Data has five characteristics: volume, velocity, variety, veracity and value. There are reports that businesses and research communities equipped with Big Data skills can provide additional incentives, opportunities, funding and innovation to their long-term strategies. The new knowledge, tools, practices, and infrastructures produced will enable breakthrough discoveries and innovation in physical science, engineering, mobile services, medicine, business, education, earth science, security and risk analysis. For organizations that adopt Big Data, the boundary between the use of private clouds, public clouds, IoT is sometimes very thin to allow better access, performance and efficiency of analyzing the data and understanding the data analysis. A common approach is to develop Big Data in the IoT to deliver "Everything as a Service". In the process of doing so, innovative services known as "Emerging Services and Analytics" can be the highlight and strategic solutions to organizations adopting IoT and Big Data. CONFERENCE AREAS 1 . Internet of Things (IoT) Fundamentals 2 . Internet of Things (IoT) Applications 3 . Big Data Research 4 . Big Data and Complex Biological Science 5 . Emerging Services and Analytics Deadline for Regular Papers Paper Submission: October 28, 2015 Authors Notification: January 28, 2016 Camera Ready and Registration: February 12, 2016 Website: http://iotbd.org/ and click Submit Paper We will invite world leading scientists to give keynote talks.

Final Deadline Extension: Sept. 19, 2015 — FIFTH WORKSHOP on Data-Flow Execution Models for Extreme Scale Computing (DFM 2015)
by Stéphane Zuckerman 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

FIFTH WORKSHOP on Data-Flow Execution Models for Extreme Scale Computing (DFM 2015) to be held in conjunction with PACT 2015 OCTOBER 18-21, 2015, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/dfmworkshop/ The International workshop on “Data-Flow Models (DFM) for extreme scale computing” has been held for four consecutive years in conjunction with the PACT conference. The purpose of DFM is 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 memory 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 of computation 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 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 2015 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 ** Important Dates ** Submission Deadline: September 19, 2015 Notification of Authors: September 26, 2015 ** Submission URL ** http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dfm2015 ** Steering Committee ** Skevos Evripidou , University of Cyprus, Chair Guang Gao, University of Delaware Jean-Luc Gaudiot, University of California at Irvine Vivek Sarkar, Rice University Ian Watson, University of Manchester Kei Hiraki, University of Tokyo ** Publicity Chair ** Giorgos Matheou, University of Cyprus ** Program Committee ** Stéphane Zuckerman, U. of Delaware Co-chair Skevos Evripidou, U. of Cyprus Co-chair Guang Gao, University of Delaware Jean-Luc Gaudiot, Univ. of California at Irvine Vivek Sarkar, Rice University Ian Watson, University of Manchester Kei Hiraki, University of Tokyo David Abramson, Monash University Costas Kyriacou, Frederic University Pedro Trancoso, University of Cyprus John Feo, Pacific Northwest National Lab.
