[CfP] BIM-WSN Integration 2019, a BuildSys 2019 workshop
by Shijia Pan 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email.] ============================================================ BIM-WSN Integration 2019 part of SenSys 2019 November 10, 2019 Columbia University, New York, USA ============================================================ Today, high-performance buildings are equipped with sophisticated monitoring systems and sensors for collecting huge amounts of data related to the buildings’ indoor environmental quality and energy consumption. However, most of these data are never utilized, typically due to the lack of proper tools. Further, the available tools do not have the ability to interpret these data, as they can only analyze the structured data. BIM is a process of developing a virtual equivalent of an actual building in terms of its physical and functional characteristics that supports data exchange, management and communication during the whole building’s life cycle. The goal of this workshop is to review the intelligent building solutions and tools that integrate BIM process and WSN technology. The workshop will focus on developments that will allow monitoring energy consumption, optimizing space, reducing operating costs, and simplifying planning and maintenance. The workshop will enhance the “intellect” of the buildings by the novel approaches that integrate wireless sensor technologies with BIM processes. By optimizing building’s energy performance, enhancing occupant comfort and health, and identifying areas for improvement, the advanced and innovative decision support environment (DSE) can contribute to the development of net-zero-energy buildings. The workshop is looking to highlight the studies of how the integration of BIM and WSN is driving the built environment. Areas of interest include, but not limited to, the following: * Analysis of IoT data using BIM * BIM and facility management * Sensor data visualization using BIM * BIM and health and safety * Smart buildings * BIM and robotics * Immersive (VR/AR) technologies in BIM * BIM-enabled sustainability and performative design * Quality control with BIM * BIM and life cycle project management ****Important Dates**** * Submission deadline: August 02, 2019 * Notification of acceptance: August 20, 2019 * Deadline for camera-ready version: September 20, 2019 * Workshop: November 10, 2019 * Submit here<https://bim-wsn2019.hotcrp.com> ****Submission Guidelines**** Submitted papers must be unpublished and must not be currently under review for any other publication. Submissions must be full papers, at most 8 single-spaced US Letter (8.5” x 11”) pages, including figures, tables, references, and appendices, or 2-page demo/poster abstracts. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions by: (1) using the "anonymous" option for the class and (2) using "anonsuppress" section where appropriate. Papers that do not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization requirements will not be reviewed. The review of all papers will follow the general single-blind policy. Please note that ACM uses 9-pt fonts in all conference proceedings, and the style (both LaTeX and Word) implicitly define the font size to be 9-pt.

by Sergi Abadal 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

(Apologies if you receive this call multiple times) ********************************************************************** NoCArc 2019 http://www.nocarc.org 12th International Workshop on Network on Chip Architectures October 12-13, 2019 - Columbus, Ohio, USA (To be held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM MICRO-52) ********************************************************************** G E N E R A L I N F O R M A T I O N With the advancement in both computing architectures and process technology, many-core architectures can have thousands of cores into a single chip. This integration opens up a plethora of challenges, e.g., in terms of specialization and energy-focused implementations, and supports the spread of various applications and computational paradigms, ranging from multiprocessing to reconfigurable computing, from quantum computing to the emerging area of neuromorphic computing. Such wild increase in the number of processing elements (PE) per chip, together with the growing architectural and workload heterogeneity, calls for efficient, versatile, scalable and reliable communication infrastructures. The Network-on-Chip (NoC) design paradigm, based on a modular packet-switched mechanism, can address many of the on-chip communication issues such as performance limitations of long interconnects, the integration of a large number of PEs on a chip, or heterogeneous workloads. Novel techniques and architectures are needed to efficiently design and optimize the NoC and evaluate it at the network or system level. The goal of NoCArc is to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions related to the design and implementation of multi-core systems on chip. The workshop will focus on issues related to design, analysis, testing, and application of on-chip networks. A R E A S O F I N T E R E S T The workshop will focus on issues related to design, analysis, and testing of on-chip networks. The topics of specific interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: NoC Architecture and Implementation * Topologies, routing, flow control * Managing QoS * Reliability issues * Security issues * Design methodologies and tools NoC Analysis, Optimization, and Verification * Power, energy and thermal issues * Benchmarking with NoC-based systems * Modeling, simulation, and synthesis * Verification, debug and test of * Metrics and benchmarks NoC Applications * Mapping of applications onto NoCs * Real and industrial NoC case studies * NoCs for FPGAs, ASICs, CMPs, and MPSoCs * NoC designs for heterogeneous systems NoC at System-level * Design of memory subsystem * NoC support for memory and cache access * OS support for NoCs * Programming models including shared memory, message passing, or new models * Large-scale systems (datacenters, supercomputers) with NoC-based Systems as building blocks Emerging NoC Technologies * Wireless, Optical, and RF * NoCs for 3D and 2.5D packages * Approximate computing for NoC and NoC-based systems Machine Learning (ML) and NoC-based Systems * Interconnects for ML systems/accelerators * Memory access for the NoC-based ML systems * NoC-based ML algorithm design Besides regular papers, papers describing work in progress or incomplete but sound new innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.

ISAV 2019: In Situ Infrastructures for Enabling Extreme-Scale Analysis and Visualization Held in conjunction with SC19: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis ISAV 2019 -- <http://dav.lbl.gov/events/ISAV2019/> http://dav.lbl.gov/events/ISAV2019/ Full-day 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM Monday 18 Nov 2019 Workshop Theme The considerable interest in the HPC community regarding in situ analysis and visualization is due to several factors. First is an I/O cost savings, where data is analyzed/visualized while being generated, without first storing to a file system. Second is the potential for increased accuracy, where fine temporal sampling of transient analysis might expose some complex behavior missed in coarse temporal sampling. Third is the ability to use all available resources, CPUs and accelerators, in the computation of analysis products. The workshop brings together researchers, developers and practitioners from industry, academia, and government laboratories developing, applying, and deploying in situ methods in extreme-scale, high performance computing. The goal is to present research findings, lessons learned, and insights related to developing and applying in situ methods and infrastructure across a range of science and engineering applications in HPC environments; to discuss topics like opportunities presented by new architectures, existing infrastructure needs, requirements, and gaps, and experiences to foster and enable in situ analysis and visualization; to serve as a center of gravity for researchers, practitioners, and users/consumers of in situ methods and infrastructure in the HPC space. Participation/Call for Papers and Oral Presentations We invite two types of submissions to ISAV 2019: (1) short, 4-page (+references) papers that present research results, that identify opportunities or challenges, and that present case studies/best practices for in situ methods/infrastructure in the areas of data management, analysis and visualization; (2) lightning presentation submissions, which consist of a 1- or 2-page (+references) proposed presentation description, for a brief oral presentation at the workshop. Short papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be invited to give an oral presentation of 15 to 20 minutes; lightning round submissions that are invited to present at the workshop will have author names and titles included as part of the proceedings. Submissions of both types are welcome that fall within one or more areas of interest, as follows: Areas of interest for ISAV, include, but are not limited to: In situ data management and infrastructures * Current Systems: production quality, research prototypes * Opportunities * Gaps System resources, hardware, and emerging architectures * Enabling Hardware * Hardware and architectures that provide opportunities for In situ processing, such as burst buffers, staging computations on I/O nodes, sharing cores within a node for both simulation and in situ processing Methods and Algorithms * Best practices * Analysis: feature detection, statistical methods, temporal methods, geometric and topological methods * Visualization: information visualization, scientific visualization, time-varying methods * Data reduction/compression Case Studies and Data Sources * Examples/case studies of solving a specific science challenge with in situ methods/infrastructure. * In situ methods/systems applied to data from simulations and/or experiments/observations Simulation and Workflows * Integration:data modeling, software-engineering * Resilience: error detection, fault recovery; Workflows for supporting complex in situ processing pipelines * Workflows for supporting complex in situ processing pipelines Requirements, Usability * Reproducibility, provenance and metadata * Using in situ to enable rapid and flexible post-processing exploration and analysis * Simplified access to extreme heterogeneous resources Review Process All submissions will undergo a peer-review process consisting of three reviews by experts in the field, and evaluated according to relevance to the workshop theme, technical soundness, creativity, originality, and impactfulness of method/results. Lightning round submissions will be evaluated primarily for relevance to the workshop. Submission Process Authors are invited to submit papers of at most 4 pages in PDF format, excluding references, and lightning presentations of at most 2 pages in PDF format, excluding references. Papers must be submitted in PDF format (readable by Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 and higher) and formatted for 8.5 x 11 (U.S. Letter). Please use the sigconf configuration in the new combined LaTeX template from ACM available at <https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions> https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions. We believe that reproducible science is essential and that SC should be a leader in this effort. As a consequence ISAV 2019 participates in the SC reproducibility initiative and encourages submitters to include an appendix with reproducibility information. While we will not disqualify a paper based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available, the availability and quality of an appendix will receive added consideration when ranking a paper for the Best Paper Award. For more information, see the <https://dav.lbl.gov/events/ISAV2019/reproducibility-faq.html> ISAV 2019 reproducibility FAQ. Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance required for the program committee to evaluate their contributions. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or a journal. See the <http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/> ACM Prior Publication Policy for more details. Please submit your paper at <https://submissions.supercomputing.org/> https://submissions.supercomputing.org. Publication in proceedings, presentation at the workshop All paper submissions that receive favorable reviews will be included as part of the workshop proceedings, which will be published by the ACM, and will appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the International Conference Proceedings Series ( <https://dl.acm.org/icps.cfm> https://dl.acm.org/icps.cfm) Lightning round titles and author names will also be included in the proceedings, but the lightning round 2-page submission will not be included as part of the proceedings. Subject to the constraints of workshop length, some subset of the accepted publications will be invited to give a brief oral presentation at the workshop. The exact number of such presentations and their length will be determined after the review process has been completed.

Student recipients will be reimbursed after the conference (based on the collected receipts). Students must book their flights from US-based carriers. All recipients of the student travel grants are required to register by August 25, 2019 at a Student FULL Registration rate or a Student Registration rate. The final award is contingent upon the recipient showing a proof of registration. In order to be considered for this travel grant, students DO NOT need to have a paper accepted in the conference. Preference will be given to undergraduate/graduate students who satisfy one or more of the following criteria: - First-time participants in the conference; - Undergraduate students or students in early stages of their graduate studies without alternate means of support; - Students from underrepresented minority groups or minority-serving institutions that are not traditionally represented in NanoCom; - Students who have not received NSF travel grants before. Fractions of award reserved for special categories - 25% of the Total Awarded Funds are reserved for first-time attendees to NanoCom who do not have a paper accepted to the conference. Undergraduates and beginning graduate students are strongly encouraged to apply; - 25% of the Total Awarded Funds are reserved for under-represented groups (women, minorities and people with disabilities), who do not need to have paper accepted to the conference. *Application Procedure* An application for a student travel grant consists of the following documents: - A request letter from the student (see below); - The student's Curriculum Vitae; - A recommendation letter from the student's graduate advisor; - An estimate of the costs to attend NanoCom: airfare, hotel, and conference registration. It is anticipated that travel grants will partially cover these overall costs. Please note that incomplete applications will not be considered. The letter from the student should be at most one page and include the following information: - Whether the student has an authored paper being accepted by ACM/IEEE NanoCom 2019 and the paper title (this is not a requirement to be selected for the travel award, but will determine whether the applicant is in one of the special categories defined above); - A brief summary of research interests and accomplishments to date; students should demonstrate a serious interest in networking, through their course work and projects; - A description of areas reflected in the ACM/IEEE NanoCom 2019 program that would impact the student’s research; - A statement about why the conference attendance is important to the student. The advisor's recommendation letter for the student should include: - Confirmation that the student is an undergraduate/graduate student in good academic standing; - The suitability of the ACM/IEEE NanoCom 2019 program material to the student’s study/research areas; - Ways this particular student would benefit from attendance at the conference; - The advisor’s commitment to covering the student’s travel cost in excess of the travel grant. Moreover, the application should include an itemized estimation from the student about the travel expenses of attending the conference, including airfare, lodging, conference registration, etc. Applicants should create their application as a single PDF file, following the format described above. After login to EDAS, click on the “Travel Grants" tab, look for a conference called "ACM NanoCom'19", and then submit the application.
