2nd EAI International Conference on Cloud, Networking for IoT systems (CN4IoT 2016)

Call for Paper ============== 2nd EAI International Conference on Cloud, Networking for IoT systems (CN4IoT 2016) SEPTEMBER 14-16, 2016 BRINDISI, ITALY http://cloudniot.org/2016/show/home Scope The mission of International Conference on Cloud, Networking for IoT systems (CN4IoT) is to serve and promote ongoing re-search activities on the uniform management and operation related to software defined infrastructures. It aims to analyze limits and/or advantages in the exploitation of CN4IoT existing solutions developed for Cloud, Networking and IoT, and to present origi-nal and innovative contributions, where the explicit effort in at least two of the three main research fields introduces benefits and advantages clearly proven. Advances in ICT are changing the way we live and interact with each other, making our daily activ-ities fast, easier and more reliable. People use multiple devices at once and keep their mobile devices nearby. Often, such de-vices have built-in sensors that measure motion, orientation, and environmental conditions, providing raw data with high preci-sion and accuracy useful to monitor changes in the environment. The physical world detected by sensors in our mobile and smart devices can be represented through objects (things). Each thing is uniquely identified, exposes specific capability for sensing, processing or actuation, and is interconnected to other things and systems through the Internet (Internet of Things - IoT). In this context, information travels along heterogeneous systems and net-works, leading to the movement of huge amounts of data (Big Data), which need to be annotated, stored, processed, integrated, and presented in a seamless, efficient and easily interpretable form. On the other hand, cloud computing is a widely used technology that offers many benefits to both end users and business com-panies. It is able to provide theoretically unlimited computing and storage capabilities, and efficient communication services for transferring terabyte flows between data centres in an easy way. All these features make cloud computing a promising choice for supporting IoT services and applications. The integration of IoT devices with cloud computing systems is raising the interest of both the academic and industrial communities. Developments in this area pave the way to novel scenarios for IoT applications. Indeed, virtualisation techniques make pools of (virtual) sensors and actuators available as new types of on-demand resources over the Cloud, that can be integrated with other resources and exposed as cloud-based services. IoT can significantly benefit from the integration with cloud computing and network infrastructures along with services provided by both big players (e.g., Microsoft, Google, Apple, and Amazon) and small and medium enterprises. Indeed, networking technol-ogies implement both virtual and physical interconnections among cooperating entities and Datacenters, organizing them into a unique computing ecosystem. In such a connected ecosystem, IoT applications can establish elastic relationship driven by per-formance requirements (e.g. information availability, execution time, monetary budget, etc.) and constraints (e.g. input data size, input data streaming rate, number of end-users connecting to that application, output data size, etc.). Thus, networking solutions specifically designed for the exploitation of Cloud services in IoT scenarios assume a crucial role. They allow developers to dif-ferentiate circuits aimed at IoT interactions, to increase Cloud scalability and efficiency in service provisioning, and to have both these advantages combined together. In many cases IoT can be seen as personal IoT, where the connection with the Internet is discontinuous, hence local caching facilities are required. The physical analytics can help the discovering of resources and ser-vices in applications use case characterized from Small Data. This data collected remotely can be further computated and feeding the Big Data seen in the hybrid model. The integration of IoT, Networking and Cloud computing can leverage the rising of new mash-up applications and services inter-acting with a multi-cloud ecosystem, where several cloud providers are interconnected through the network to deliver a univer-sal decentralized computing environment to support IoT scenarios. In order to achieve such next generation IoT applications, one of the major aspects that has to be considered is the networking. In fact, IoT mash-up applications interacting with Cloud systems require the proper setup of traditional (Intranet and Internet), proximal, and location-sensitive networks. Potential topics of interest, which can be investigated from different perspectives (social, organizational, technological) include, but are not limited to, the following application domains: ï Deployment and autonomic management of densely interconnected and decentralised cloud infrastructures, including the extension of the fog computing paradigm to the edge of the network. ï Autonomic Management of Cloud networking in the context of software-defined data centres. ï Re-allocation of resources and services (independently of their location) across distributed computing and geographically separated data storage infrastructures ï Distributed cloud wireless networking ï Software Defined Infrastructure Architectures, Application Programming Interfaces Protocols & Programming languages ï Efficient Network and Cloud Function Virtualization (NFV) ï Service & Information Orchestration/Chaining and Life Cycle Management ï Energy Efficient and Green Software-defined Infrastructures ï Software-based Integration of Computing, Storage & Networks ï Software-Defined Datacenters and Inter-datacenter Networks ï Object identity management, discovery services in IoT, ï Virtualisation of objects, devices and IoT infrastructures ï Ad-hoc Cloud services, Big Data Analytics ï Interconnected smart objects and service infrastructures ï Infrastructures, platforms, and software for CN4IoT scenarios ï Software engineering methodology for the design of CN4IoTsystems ï Dynamic orchestration of cloud resources for IoT systems and applications ï Service discovery in CN4IoT- device Discovery, Data Discovery, service Discovery. ï Traffic Engineering and Quality of Service (QoS) in CN4IoT ï SLA Management for CN4IoT ï Monitoring of CN4IoT Systems ï Mobility support in CN4IoT ï Security and privacy preservation in CN4IoT Systems ï Building Trust-based communication and computing systems for IoT applications ï HPC-Cloud Platforms for IoT Big Data Analytics ï CN4IoT services (Sensing as a Service, Data Analytics as a Service, etc) ï Utility Models for CN4IoT metering ï IoT Microservices, Networking and CloudLet computing ï Communication challenges in CloudLet computing ï Software-defined networking support for IoT device fleets (M2M applications) ï Industrial IoT interacting with Clouds and Virtual Networks ï Personal IoT and Physical Analytics in IoT Focusing on Applications Use Case with Small Data ï Hybrid Sensor/Cloud networking ï SDN Switch/Router Architectures/Designs for CN4IoT ï Control Architectures/Network Programmability in CN4IoT ï Verification/Debugging/ Auditing Tools CN4IoT ï Energy-aware and sustainable computing solutions for CN4IoT applications ï Economics assessments aimed at Clouds, Data, IoT, Networking and Social in Hybrid Scenarios. ï Applications for Smart Cities, BigData Applications, ICT devices used in Factory of the Future, HPC, eHealth, Industrial Pro-cesses, Energy Efficiency Systems, Social Platforms, etc. Highlights ï The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organisation devoted to the ad-vancement of innovation in the field of ICT. ï All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries. ï Proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: Elsevier (EI), Thomson Scientific (ISI), Scopus, Cross-ref, Google Scholar, DBLP. ï Best Papers will be considered for publication in the EAI Endorsed Transactions on Smart Cities.

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers (CFP)] ================================================ Call for Papers - ViPES'2016 4th Workshop on Virtual Prototyping of Parallel and Embedded Systems Samos, Greece, July 17, 2016 ================================================ *** PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MARCH 31, 2016 *** The 4th Workshop on Virtual Prototyping of Parallel and Embedded Systems (ViPES 2016) will be held at Samos Island, Greece on July 17th, 2016. ViPES 2016 is co-located with the International Conference on Embedded Computer Systems: Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation (SAMOS). Virtual prototyping stands for the development of hardware/software systems without using a real hardware prototype, i.e. no printed circuit board with electronic devices such as processors, field programmable gate arrays, peripherals and other devices is needed. The advantage is the possibility to exchange parts in the system setup with faster turnaround times in comparison to the traditional development process, where a time consuming redesign of the complete board has to be done. Since some years, the community exploiting these novel methods has grown as time to market plays a major role in industry. Additionally, the increasing complexity of embedded systems, which are more and more realized as parallel and distributed cyber-physical systems, forces system architects to perform a time-consuming design space exploration. For academics, virtual prototyping is also a hot topic. Researchers use virtual prototypes to develop future systems and to enable an outlook into the next generation of embedded systems and devices. The wide range of application scenarios for this type of development includes amongst others automotive, avionics, railway, consumer and medicine applications. This workshop targets the domain of virtual prototyping focusing the following topics: * Virtual prototyping development tools * Methods for virtual prototyping of complex systems * Application development with virtual platforms * Methods for Hardware / Software Codesign with virtual platforms * Design space exploration for parallel and distributed multicore and cyber-physical systems * Estimation of system characteristics in an early stage of development * Functional verification at a high level of abstraction * Methods for modeling of IP cores with SystemC * Usage of Architecture Description Languages (ADL) for IP-core development Submission Guidelines: All manuscripts will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Submissions should be a complete manuscript (not to exceed 6 pages of single spaced text, including figures and tables. Submissions should be in PDF-format. Templates for paper preparation can be found here<http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/confer…>. All accepted paper will be published in the proceedings of the SAMOS conference in a section for ViPES.

Spring School on Polyhedral Code Optimizations and Numerical Simulation
by Darte Alain 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

--------------------------------------------- INTER-DISCIPLINARY SPRING SCHOOL ON NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND POLYHEDRAL CODE OPTIMIZATIONS May 9-13, 2016 St Germain au Mont d'Or, near Lyon, France http://mathsinfohpc.sciencesconf.org/ --------------------------------------------- An inter-disciplinary spring school is organized near Lyon, France, from Monday 9 to Friday 13, May 2016. The school targets both students and researchers in high-performance computing interested in exploring the potential interactions between numerical simulation applications and compiler optimizations. The school will focus on applications whose regularity, use of data structures such as arrays, and numerical intensity may make the automation or semi-automation of optimizations both feasible and useful, concentrating in particular on polyhedral analysis and optimizations for GPGPUs and multicores. The goal is to discuss, in the light of the expertise from the application side, how recent development of polyhedral techniques and tools can help (or not yet) improving the interaction between the users and the compilers. The school will be organized as 7 half-days of courses (+ 1 half-day of break) covering topics such as: - architecture features and manual code optimizations - discretization methods, stencils - automatic (mostly polyhedral) code analysis and optimizations - locality and loop tiling - cost models, in particular roofline model - automatic tools for GPGPUs and multicores - numerical precision with speakers from both the numerical simulation and compiler communities. People willing to attend this spring school should first signal their interest before April 01 (but the sooner the better, places are limited). See explanations on the corresponding registration web page. Registration fees are kept very low (for academics, 150 euros for a single room, 200 euros for a double room) and will cover the whole week (food and lodging). More details are provided on the web page of the school: http://mathsinfohpc.sciencesconf.org/ Note that this spring school is the second event of a larger thematic quarter on high performance computing (http://hpc-milyon.universite-lyon.fr/) organized in Lyon and around, with several events, from April to July 2016. The other events, which may also be of interest for you, are: - Keynotes "HPC days" with invited speakers Eric Blayo, Jack Dongarra, Marc Massot, Yousef Saad, Marc Snir, Eric Sonnendrcker (http://hpc-days-lyon.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en) and additional mini-symposia on related topics. - JLESC Workshop, on exascale computing. - Tutorial and SWIM Workshop on interval methods (http://swim2016.sciencesconf.org/) Best regards, Violaine Louvet, Alain Darte
