CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics for Special Section on Sustainable and Intelligent Precision Agriculture (IF: 7.377)
by Ye Liu (刘野) 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

*IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics* *CALL FOR PAPERS* *for Special Section on* *Sustainable and Intelligent Precision Agriculture* *Theme:* Since the green revolution in the mid-20th century, we have entered into the era of industrial agriculture, in which farming activities are industrialized and specialization is applied to all steps during food production of livestock, poultry, fish and crops. Industrial agriculture has many advantages. For example, the use of specialized machinery lightens farmer’s labor intensity. Large-scale monoculture crops planting and intensive farming achieve higher food yields with lower price. In plant factory, the cultivation environment can be artificially controlled, so the vegetables grow faster than in outdoor conditions. However, industrial agriculture also causes some negative impacts on ecological system due to the high energy consumption and serious environmental degradation. Tractors, combines, cultivators and other agricultural machinery not only consume much fossil fuels but also degrade soil. The use of too much synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contaminate local rivers and water sources. Water is often overused in the irrigation stage. Industry 4.0, that built on leading-edge technologies, will be a transforming force to reshape the industrial agriculture. Through wireless sensor network, unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite imagery, the ubiquitous sensing can collect valuable data during food production. Precision agriculture helps to save use of fertilizer and water. Solar photovoltaic power harvesting and wireless energy transfer is a key approach to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Smart microclimate control in greenhouse and plant factory enables deep understanding on the interaction between gene, environment and phenotype. Artificial intelligence and big data makes the industrial agriculture more intelligent. This special section on “Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture” is to provide a forum for researchers from diverse interdisciplinary areas to present their latest achievements in industrial agriculture. *This special section will focus on (but not limited to) the following topics:* ● Artificial intelligence and machine learning for smart industrial agriculture ● Connectivity, localization and autonomous driving of agricultural machinery network ● Precision agriculture with sensor, drones, remote sensing and Internet of Things ● Design, development and application of agricultural system with Industry 4.0 ● Blockchain, big data for digital farming: theory and application ● Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer in industrial agriculture ● Next generation 5G mobile networks for industrial agriculture ● Ontology-driven plant phenomics information system ● Robotics, guidance and automation for agriculture ● Case study of sustainable and intelligent industrial agriculture ● Security and privacy for green IoT-based agriculture *Manuscript Preparation and Submission* Follow the guidelines in “Information for Authors” in the IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics http://www.ieee-ies.org/pubs/transactions-on-industrial-informatics . Please submit your manuscript in electronic form through Manuscript Central web site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii . On the submitting page #1 in popup menu of manuscript type, select: SS on *Sustainable and Intelligent Industrial Agriculture* Submissions to this Special Section must represent original material that has been neither submitted to, nor published in, any other journal. Regular manuscript length is 8 pages. *Note: *The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor-in-Chief. Some papers may be published outside the special section, at the EIC discretion. *Timetable:* *Deadline for manuscript submissions February 25, 2020* *Expected publication date (tentative) July, 2020* *Guest Editors:* l Prof. Lei Shu, Nanjing Agricultural University, China / University of Lincoln, UK lei.shu(a)njau.edu.cn l Dr. Gerhard Petrus Hancke, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China gp.hancke(a)cityu.edu.hk l Dr. Adnan M.

CFP: DFM'20 — 9th International Workshop on Data-Flow Models for Extreme-Scale Computing
by Stéphane Zuckerman 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

9th IEEE International Workshop on Data Flow Models and Extreme-Scale Computing (DFM 2020) Hosted as part of the COMPSAC 2020, July 13—17, 2020, Madrid, Spain This workshop is organized as part of the activities of the IEEE Computer Society Dataflow STC. The ninth installment of the international workshop on Data Flow Models (DFM) for extreme-scale computing is held this year in conjunction with the COMPSAC conference. The purpose of DFM continues to being to bring together those researchers interested in novel computational models based on dataflow principles of execution. The switch to multi-core systems, at both the high-performance and embedded levels, has raised concurrency to the level of a major issue, with the trend of increasing the core count on a chip continuing, as well as energy and resiliency issues coming to the fore of major issues to tackle. Computer systems, both for high-performance and embedded computing, have now fully embraced parallelism at the hardware and software levels. From the HPC systems viewpoint, new challenges have arisen, which are common issues in the embedded world: power and energy efficiency are now major issues to be overcome when considering building efficient supercomputers. Conversely, harnessing true parallel systems is now necessary to efficiently exploit embedded systems equipped with multiple cores. Moreover, fault-tolerance and resiliency must also be taken into consideration, at both the hardware and software level. Finally, many such systems (both embedded and HPC) are networked together, forming extremely large distributed and parallel systems. Dataflow-inspired models of computation, once discarded by the sequential programming crowd, are again considered serious contenders to help increase programmability, performance, and scalability in highly parallel and extreme scale systems. By their very nature, dataflow and event-driven inspired models tend to naturally solve (if only partially) some of the newer problems related to power and energy efficiency, or provide fertile ground to help with implementing efficient fault-tolerance and resiliency mechanisms, as many of the required properties are enmeshed in the models themselves. Yet, to achieve high scalability and performance, modern computing systems, both HPC and embedded, rely on heterogeneous means to carry out computations: GPUs, FPGAs, etc. Meanwhile, legacy programming and execution models, such as MPI and OpenMP, add asynchronous and data-driven constructs to their models, all the while trying to take into account the very complex hardware targeted by parallel applications. Consequently, programming and execution models, trying to combine both legacy control flow-based and data flow-based aspects of computing, have also become increasingly complex to handle. Developing new models and their implementation, from the application programmer level, to the system level, down to the hardware level is key to provide better data- and event-driven systems which can efficiently exploit the wealth of diversity that composes current high-performance systems, for extreme scale parallel computing. To this end, the whole stack, from the application programming interface down to the hardware must be investigated for programmability, performance, scalability, energy and power efficiency, as well as resiliency and fault-tolerance. All these aspects may have a different impact on high-performance computing and embedded systems. Researchers and practitioners all over the world, from both academia and industry, working in the areas of language, system software, and hardware design, parallel computing, execution models, and resiliency modeling are invited to discuss state of the art solutions, novel issues, recent developments, applications, methodologies, techniques, experience reports, and tools for the development and use of data flow models of computation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: DFM 2020 solicits novel papers that include but are not limited to: • Programming languages and compilers for existing and new languages — in particular single-assigned and functional languages • System software: Operating systems, runtime systems • Hardware design: ASICs and reconfigurable computing (FPGAs) • Resiliency and fault-tolerance for parallel and distributed systems • New data flow inspired execution models — in particular strict and non-strict models • Hybrid system design for control-flow and data-flow based systems • Position papers on the future of data flow in the era of parallel and distributed many-core systems, and beyond, including heterogeneous systems SUBMISSION INFORMATION DFM 2020 will accept both full (6 pages) and short papers (4 pages). Full page papers may go up to 8 pages for a fee. Papers should be prepared using the IEEE Proceedings format; Short Papers could be submitted in the form of extended abstracts. All accepted papers will appear in the Computer Society Digital Library. Submission site https://easychair.org/my/conference.cgi?welcome=1;conf=compsac2020.
