WCET 2016 First Call For Papers
by Martin Schoeberl 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16th International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis WCET 2016 Toulouse, France, 5th July 2016 in conjunction with the Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS) http://wcet2016.compute.dtu.dk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WCET 2016 is kindly supported by TACLe (www.tacle.eu) an European COST-Action on Timing Analysis on Code-Level. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOALS AND TOPICS A large class of embedded systems is distinguished from general-purpose computing systems by the need to satisfy strict requirements on timing, often under constraints on available resources. Predictable system design is concerned with the challenge of building systems for which timing requirements can be guaranteed a priori. Perhaps paradoxically, this problem has become more difficult by the introduction of performance-enhancing architectural elements, such as caches, pipelines, and multi-threading, which introduce a large degree of uncertainty and make timing guarantees harder to provide. The WCET workshop focuses on the analysis and design of timing-predictable systems, with a strong emphasis on worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis. Topics of interest include all aspects of timing analysis and timing-predictability. This includes (but is not limited to): - WCET analysis for multi-threaded and multi-core systems - Low-level timing analysis, modeling and analysis of processor features - Flow analysis for WCET, loop bounds, infeasible paths - Measurement-based WCET analysis - Different approaches to WCET computation - Probabilistic timing analysis - Tools for WCET analysis - Integration of WCET and schedulability analysis - Integration of WCET analysis in development processes - Strategies to reduce the complexity of WCET analysis - Processor and hardware design for timing predictability - Program design for timing predictability - Compiler-based optimization of worst-case timing - Timing-predictable, resource-aware operating systems - Experimental analysis of the timing behavior of processors - Methods and benchmarks for WCET analysis evaluation - Case studies and industrial experiences of WCET analysis - WCET analysis in the academic curriculum Statements which are innovative, controversial, or that present new approaches are specially sought. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOCUS OF THE 2016 EDITION This year we feature papers that provide tools in open source and provide instructions how the evaluation results can be reproduced. The PC will explore those open source tools as part of the paper review process. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP STRUCTURE The goal of the workshop is to bring together people from academia, tool vendors and users in industry who are interested in all aspects of timing predictability of real-time systems. The workshop fosters a highly interactive format with ample time for in-depth discussions. It provides a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions, and to review current trends in this area. The presentations will be kept short to leave plenty of time for interaction of attendees. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Research papers should present original research results not published or submitted for publication in other forums. Accepted papers will be published via Schloss Dagstuhl's OASIcs online proceedings series, indexed, with ISBN. Authors of accepted papers agree to attend the workshop and to present their work during the workshop. Papers submitted for the WCET workshop must be written in English, must not exceed 10 pages, should conform to the typesetting requirements specified on the workshop's website (http://wcet2016.compute.dtu.dk) and must be submitted in PDF format using the WCET workshop paper submission website. Author names, affiliations and self-references should not be anonymized. Paper submission is via EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wcet2016 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: 28th April 2016 (23:59 GMT-12) Notification of acceptance: 27th May 2016 Final paper submission: 10th June 2016 WCET Workshop: 5th July 2016 ECRTS Conference: 6-8th July 2016 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM CHAIR Martin Schoeberl, Technical University of Denmark PROGRAM COMMITTEE - Sebastian Altmeyer, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg - Guillem Bernat, Rapita Systems, UK - Hugues Casse, IRIT - Universite de Toulouse, France - Francisco J.

CfP: ACM PODC Distributed Cloud Computing
by Stefan Schmid 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

ACM PODC Workshop on Distributed Cloud Computing (DCC) http://www.podc.org/dcc2016/ co-located with ACM PODC 2016 25 July, 2016 Chicago, Illinois, USA Important Dates ============== Abstract submissions due: 12 March 2016 Submissions due: 19 March 2016 Notification of acceptance: 1 May 2016 Camera-ready papers due: 20 May 2016 Workshop: 25 July 2016 Keynote Speaker ============== Larry Peterson, Princeton, USA Synopsis ======= Most of the focus in public cloud computing technology over the last 10 years has been on deploying massive, centralized data centers with thousands or hundreds of thousands of servers. The data centers are typically replicated with a few instances on a continent wide scale in semi-autonomous zones. This model has proven quite successful in economically scaling cloud service, but it has some drawbacks. Failure of a zone can lead to service dropout for tenants if the tenants do not replicate their services across zones. Some applications may need finer grained control over network latency than is provided by a connection to a large centralized data center, or may benefit from being able to specify location as a parameter in their deployment. Nontechnical issues, such as the availability of real estate, power, and bandwidth for a large mega data center, also enter into consideration. Another model that may be useful in many cases is to have many micro or even nano data centers, interconnected by medium to high bandwidth links, and the ability to manage these data centers and interconnecting links as if they were one larger data center. This distributed cloud model is perhaps a better match for private enterprise clouds, which tend to be smaller than the large, public mega data centers, and it also has attractions for public clouds run by telco carriers which have facilities in geographically diverse locations, with power, cooling, and bandwidth already available. It is attractive for mobile operators as well, since it provides a platform on which applications can be deployed and easily managed that could benefit from locality and a tighter coupling to the access network. Applications with latency constraints or with too much data to backhaul to a large mega data center can benefit from distributed processing. The two models are not mutually exclusive: for instance a public cloud operator with many large data centers distributed internationally could manage its network of data centers like a distributed cloud. The distinguishing characteristic from federated clouds is that the component data centers are more integrated, especially with respect to authentication and authorization, so that the computation, storage, and networking resources are as tightly managed as if they were in a single large data center. Goals ===== The International Workshop on Distributed Cloud Computing (DCC) is interdisciplinary and touches both distributed systems as well as networking and cloud computing. It is intended as a forum where people with different backgrounds can learn from their respective fields and expertise. We want to attract both industry relevant papers as well as papers from academic researchers working on the foundations of the distributed cloud. In particular, this year’s edition of DCC will feature an applied session in the afternoon, chaired by Rick McGeer. Scope ===== DCC 2016 accepts high-quality papers related to the distributed cloud which fall into at least one of the following categories: - Foundations and principles of distributed cloud computing - Optimization and algorithms - Economics and pricing - Experience with and performance evaluation of existing deployments and measurements (public, private, hybrid, federated environments) - Architectural models, prototype implementations and applications - Virtualization technology and enablers (network virtualization, software-defined networking) - Service and resource specification, languages, and formal verification Submission and Publication ======================= Submissions are single-blind and should not exceed 6 pages in length (in ACM format: http://www.sigmetrics.org/sig-alternate-per.cls) Accepted papers will appear on ACM Digital Library. However, authors may voluntarily also opt out from an official publication, and simply present their work at the workshop. For an accepted paper, at least one author must attend the workshop. Workshop History =============== DCC 2013 was co-located with IEEE/ACM UCC 2013, DCC 2014 was co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2014, and DCC 2015 was co-located with ACM SIGMETRICS.

The AHPC Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Autonomic computing systems that exhibit Self-configuration, self-healing, self-protection, self-optimization, self-awareness, and/or self-monitoring - Software engineering principles and architectures in Autonomic Computing - Algorithms: machine learning, operations research, probability and stochastic processes, queueing theory, rule-based systems, biological-inspired techniques, and socially-inspired techniques - Control-based approaches and Control Theory applied to Autonomic High Performance Computing systems - Autonomic components: hardware accelerators, multi-core servers, storage, and networking - Data analysis and decision techniques - Monitoring systems - Theory and practice of autonomic systems - Self-Organization and Organic Computing - Management of resources including hardware, workloads, faults, security, power, and other challenges - Hypervisor, operating systems, middleware, hardware, or application support for autonomic computing - Knowledge-based and/or intelligent user interfaces - Self-adaptability and self-management of context-aware systems - Cognitive computing and self-awareness in HPC and distributed systems - Modeling, virtualization, operating systems or application in autonomic computing - Biologically inspired computing (evolutionary algorithms, cellular automata, DNA computation, amorphous computing, etc) - Autonomic solutions in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) - Autonomic solutions in security and integrity - Applications of autonomic computing and experiences in science, engineering, business and society PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to autonomic high performance and distributed computing. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. For Regular papers, please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column formatted pages per template, and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author(s) although all authors are equally responsible for the manuscript. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and posters (please refer to http://hpcs2016.cisedu.info/1-call-for-papers/call-for-posters for posters submission details) will also be considered. Please specify the type of submission you have. Please include page numbers on all preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript to the workshop paper submission EasyChair site at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ahpc2016. Acknowledgement will be sent within 48 hours of submission. Only PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the submission link above. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical clarity and presentation, and references. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper will have to register and attend the HPCS 2016 conference to present the paper at the workshop. Proceedings Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2016 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly. SPECIAL ISSUE Plans are underway to have the best accepted papers be selected for possible publication in a journal special issue(s). Detailed information will soon be announced, and will be made available on the conference website. If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the workshop organizers.
