The trend is to keep increasing both the number of cores in a single device as well as the number of communicating devices. In this massively parallel and heterogeneous context, the need for scalable computing is everywhere and scalability is rapidly becoming a central aspect of computing. The 18th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications (ScalCom 2018) will provide a forum for researchers willing to present their original work on scalable parallel and distributed computing. ScalCom 2018 will offer a unique opportunity to exchange ideas at the highest technical level related to communication networks, performance analysis and distributed applications with particular emphasis on scalability. We invite submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully developed results or on-going foundational and applied work relating to all aspects of scalable computing and communications. The program committee will interpret it very broadly; everything from engineering principles to practical experiences on different levels of a parallel and distributed system including High Performance Computing (HPC), massively parallelsystems and heterogeneous computing.

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================ ================== CALL FOR PAPERS 16th International Workshop on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms HeteroPar'2018 August 28, 2018, Turin, Italy in conjunction with EuroPar 2018 http://hcl.ucd.ie/heteropar2018 ============================================================ ================== * Submission of manuscripts: May 11, 2018 * Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2018 * Preliminary camera-ready version: July 21, 2018 * Date of workshop: August 27 or 28, 2018 * LNCS camera-ready papers: October 3, 2018 * Journal Special Issue first version: October 20, 2018 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ Heterogeneity is emerging as one of the most profound and challenging characteristics of today's parallel environments. From the macro level, where networks of distributed computers composed of diverse node architectures are interconnected with potentially heterogeneous networks, to the micro level, where deeper memory hierarchies and various accelerator architectures are increasingly common, the impact of heterogeneity on all computing tasks is increasing rapidly. Traditional parallel algorithms, programming environments and tools, designed for legacy homogeneous multiprocessors, will at best achieve a small fraction of the efficiency and the potential performance that we should expect from parallel computing in tomorrow's highly diversified and mixed environments. New ideas, innovative algorithms, and specialized programming environments and tools are needed to efficiently use these new and multifarious parallel architectures. The workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers working on algorithms, programming languages, tools, and theoretical models aimed at efficiently solving problems on heterogeneous platforms. Topics --------- The topics to be covered include but are not limited to: * Heterogeneous parallel programming paradigms and models * Languages, libraries, and interfaces for different heterogeneous parallel programming models * Performance models and their integration into the design of efficient parallel algorithms for heterogeneous platforms * Parallel algorithms for heterogeneous and/or hierarchical multi-core systems, including manycores and hardware accelerators (FPGAs, GPUs, Xeon Phi, etc.) * Parallel algorithms for efficient problem solving on heterogeneous platforms (numerical linear algebra, nonlinear systems, fast transforms, computational biology, data mining, multimedia, etc.) * Software engineering for heterogeneous parallel systems * Applications on heterogeneous platforms * Algorithms, models and tools for energy optimization on heterogeneous platforms * Bi-objective optimization of applications on heterogeneous platforms for performance and energy * Integration of parallel and distributed computing on heterogeneous platforms * Experience of porting parallel software from supercomputers to heterogeneous platforms * Fault tolerance of parallel computations on heterogeneous platforms * Algorithms, models and tools for grid, desktop grid, cloud, and green computing Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Authors are encouraged to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms. Manuscripts should be limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS stylesheet and submitted through the EasyChair Conference System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=europar2018ws For further questions, please contact the program chair(s). Publication --------------- Accepted papers that are presented at the workshop will be published in revised form in a special Euro-Par Workshop Volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the Euro-Par conference. Journal Special Issue ---------------------------- Authors of selected papers accepted for presentation at HeteroPar'2018 will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their work to a special issue of a top journal.

CFP: The 6th International Workshop on Autonomic Management of high performance Grid and Cloud Computing (AMGCC'18)
by Jaehwan Lee 01 May '18

01 May '18

CFP: The 6th International Workshop on Autonomic Management of high performance Grid and Cloud Computing (AMGCC'18) AMGCC'18 workshop (http://htcaas.kisti.re.kr/wiki/index.php/AMGCC18) will be held in Trento, Italy on September 7, 2018, as part of the Foundations and Applications of Self* Systems (FAS* 2018), and co-located with IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2018). Grid computing leverages enormous computing resources scattered over the internet in order to integrate and form a large-scale computing platform to solve grand-scale problems. Grid computing also has had great influence on the cloud computing besides the virtualization technology which logically decouples the physical computing resources with the computing system. Consequently, the cloud computing provides cost-effective, fast, and unlimited virtualized resources for large-scale applications. Cloud computing is also used as "utility computing" where the computing services are provided on-demand and as needs based. Thus, it is commonly deployed for various applications these days. Managing hybrid, virtualized computing resources in a large-scale cloud computing environments, however, still leaves a lot of research to be conducted. Furthermore, autonomous managements of resources in such a large scale federated hybrid computing infrastructures are crucial. In this workshop, we would like to bring researcher around the world to discuss and communicate the challenges and research results in the design, implementation, and evaluation of novel autonomous hybrid cloud resource management systems, and the theory and practice of cloud and grid resource management. << Topics of Interests >> Topics include, but are not limited to: - Autonomic Resource Management in Cloud and Grid - Autonomous and Adaptive Management of Virtualized Resources - High Performance Grid and Cloud - Security, Privacy, and Compliance Management for Hybrid Utility Computing - Performance and Usage Monitoring in Hybrid Infrastructures - Autonomic Resource Discovery and Scheduling in Cloud and Grid - Service-based Autonomic Management in Cloud and Grid - Hybrid Cloud Resource Provisioning Orchestration - Adaptive Resource Provisioning and Adjustment in Grid and Cloud - Autonomics in High Performance Cloud Computing - Cloud/Grid Workload Profiling and Autonomic Deployment Control - Fault tolerance and Reliability in Hybrid Utility Computing - Federation, Bridging, and Bursting of Grid and Cloud Resources - Data management and Analytics in Cloud - Cyber-infrastructure, System Architectures, Design and Deployment for Grid, Cloud and Big Data << Important Dates >> - Paper submission: June 25, 2018 - Notification of acceptance: July 9, 2018 - Camera-ready paper: July 15, 2018 - Workshop: September 7, 2018 << Paper Submission Guideline >> Submitted papers must include original work and may not be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Papers are limited to 6 pages in standard IEEE proceedings format. The PDF format of the paper must be submitted online at the paper submission site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=amgcc2018) before the deadline.
