Special Issue on New Generation Cloud Computing in SPE - Deadline Extended to 07 June
by Blesson Varghese 31 May '19

31 May '19

------- Deadline Extended to 07 June 2019 for the Special Issue on 'New Generation Cloud Computing' in the Software: Practice and Experience journal https://www.blessonv.com/newgencloudcomp2019 ------- PDF is available here: https://wol-prod-cdn.literatumonline.com/pb-assets/assets/1097024X/SPE-SI-N… New trends seen in cloud computing in the last couple of years include: computing at the edge of the network outside centralized data centers, using heterogeneous processors, such as hardware accelerators in the cloud for making applications execute faster, using lightweight deployment strategies, such as containers and unikernels, in transient environments, ecosystems built on containers that enable more abstraction, and novel applications finding new generation clouds to satisfy their requirements. Definitions, architectures and approaches that are relevant to the current generation of clouds will evolve significantly to accommodate the emerging paradigms that rely on the cloud. Future clouds will therefore need to address new challenges related to scalability, management, reliability, sustainability, heterogeneity and security. Addressing these challenges naturally paves way for new cloud trends, directions and research. TOPICS OF INTEREST This special issue welcomes research in all avenues of the next generation cloud computing, but are not limited to: Infrastructure - hardware, middleware and software Architectures - emerging distributed and decentralized clouds using fog/edge, serverless computing, blockchain technologies and container technologies System - programming models, algorithms, virtualization technologies, hardware accelerators, and runtime systems Management - scheduling, resource scaling, deployment, monitoring, benchmarking, and metering Application - novel applications in machine and deep learning, mobile apps, IoT, smart cities, health care Prospective authors are encouraged to express their interest to the corresponding guest editor.

29 May '19

CALL FOR POSTERS / CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: 12th International Symposium on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications (HLPP-2019) July 3-5, 2019, Linköping, Sweden https://www.ida.liu.se/conferences/hlpp2019/ * Open poster session - abstract submission 1 june * Early registration by 15 june * Preliminary program and local information now available Aims and scope of HLPP: As processor and system manufacturers increase the amount of both inter- and intra-chip parallelism it becomes crucial to provide the software industry with high-level, clean and efficient tools for parallel programming. Parallel and distributed programming methodologies are currently dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms. Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism. Since 2001 the HLPP series of workshops/symposia has been a forum for researchers developing state-of-the-art concepts, tools and applications for high-level parallel programming. The general emphasis is on software quality, programming productivity and high-level performance models. The 12th Symposium on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications will be held in Linköping, Sweden, 3-5 July 2019. HLPP 2019 will also have an *open poster session* and invites submission of poster abstracts on all topics in high-level parallel programming, its tools and applications including, but not limited to, the following aspects: High-level parallel programming and performance models and tools Declarative parallel programming methodologies based on functional, logical, data-flow, actor, and other paradigms Algorithmic skeletons, patterns, etc. and constructive methods High-level parallelism in programming languages and libraries (e.g, Haskell, Scala, C++, etc.): semantics and implementation Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs Efficient code generation, auto-tuning and optimization for parallel programs Model-driven software engineering for parallel systems Domain-specific languages: design, implementation and applications High-level programming models for heterogeneous/hierarchical platforms with accelerators, e.g., GPU, Many-core, DSP, VPU, FPGA, etc. High-level parallel methods for large structured and semi-structured datasets Applications of parallel systems using high-level languages and tools Teaching experience with high-level tools and methods Posters submitted to HLPP-2019 should present recent research that can be published or (to be) submitted for publication elsewhere. Poster abstracts will be distributed to all registered participants of HLPP-2019. Posters can also describe recent research projects, such as EU projects, related to the scope of HLPP.

======================= Call for Papers ======================= 2nd International Workshop on HIGH-PRECISION NETWORKS OPERATIONS AND CONTROL (HIPNET 2019) 25 October 2019, Halifax, Canada http://www.cnsm-conf.org/2019/hipnet2019.html Co-located with the 15th International Conference on Network and Service Management (CNSM) =============================================================== --- SCOPE --- New waves of networked applications continue to push the limits of what is possible with networks today. Augmented Reality and Tactile Internet require ultra-low latency measured in single- digit milliseconds. Requirements of Industrial Internet appli- cations that involve real-time industrial control are even more stringent and tolerate no jitter at all. Compounding this situation is the fact that many of those applications are mission-critical and cannot afford any loss in connectivity or even single packets. Collectively, these applications require High-Precision Networks that are characterized by stringent service level boundaries and associated guarantees that border on determinism. This requires a rethinking of many of the principles underlying existing "Best Effort" internetworking technology. Several approaches trying to tackle those challenges are emerging. Data centers with fixed topologies and a constant number of hops rapidly replace conventional routing and more general Internet topologies. Networks are becoming more programmable to allow to custom-tailor and optimize treatment of packets and flows. Related technologies range from Service Function Chaining to Network Slicing to SDN. One overarching question concerns how these technologies can be harnessed and what additional approaches are needed to be able to actually deliver High-Precision Networking. This will involve advances over a wide range of areas, such as programming and processing of packets in the data plane, high-precision measurements and telemetry with nanosecond accuracy at scale, control interfaces and ultra-low latency control loops to optimize service levels, as well as advances in the related platforms and algorithms that allow for their management and control. The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers, students and professionals from industry and academia to discuss challenges and present work-in-progress and solution approaches to deliver on High-Precision Networks and their management and control. --- TOPICS OF INTEREST --- Topics of Interest to the workshop include but are not limited to the following: - Platforms to manage and operate high-precision networks and services, e.g., Industrial Networks, Tactile Networks, Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR) - Proof/validation of high-precision service level guarantees - High-precision measurement techniques for ultra-low latency and jitter - Service assurance for micro services and service function chains - Applications for Inband Network Telemetry and iOAM - High-precision networking using service function chaining - In-network service level tuning and optimization - Novel network programming models with applications in high- precision Networking - Applications of Artificial Intelligence for high-precision networking - Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) interconnect, wide-area TSN, IP and TSN convergence - SDN applications for high-precision and high-performance networking - High-precision networking over 5G - High-Precision networking services using Fog and Edge Computing - Deployment/operational experiences with Industrial Internet, Tactile Internet, networked AR --- SUBMISSION OF PAPERS --- Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers that are not already under review elsewhere.
