CFP - 14th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2021)
by Miguel Areias 31 May '21

31 May '21

========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP 2021: 14th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms https://sites.google.com/site/aspocp2021 ========================================================================= A workshop of 37th International Conference on Logic Programming September 20-27, 2021 (the event will be virtual) ========================================================================= AIMS AND SCOPE ************** Since its introduction in the late 1980s, Answer Set Programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which led to a new method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. This has been a much studied relationship, and is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT). The relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), first-order logic (FOL), and FO(ID) is also the subject of active research. Consequently, new methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on relationships to these formalisms. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web) and constraint satisfaction (which recently led to the Constraint Answer Set Programming (CASP) research direction). A large body of general results regarding ASP is available and several efficient ASP solvers have been implemented. However, there are still significant challenges in applying ASP to real life applications, and more interest in relating ASP to other computing paradigms is emerging. This workshop will provide opportunities for researchers to identify these challenges and to exchange ideas for overcoming them. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): ***************************************************** * ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). * ASP and constraint programming. * ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). * ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. * ASP and external means of computation. * ASP and probabilistic reasoning. * ASP and knowledge compilation. * ASP and machine learning. * New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. * Language extensions to ASP. * ASP and multi-agent systems. * ASP and multi-context systems. * Modularity and ASP. * ASP and argumentation. * Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. * Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. * ASP and related paradigms in applications. * Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. * Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS *********** The workshop invites two types of submissions: * papers describing original research, * non-original papers already published on formal proceedings or journals. Original papers must not exceed 13 pages (excluding references) and must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style available here.

CORRECTNESS 2021 at SC21 -- Call for Papers
by Cindy Rubio González 28 May '21

28 May '21

======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Fifth International Workshop on Software Correctness for HPC Applications (Correctness 2021) In conjunction with SC21: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, November 19, 2021, St. Louis, Missouri, USA. In cooperation with IEEE TCHPC. https://correctness-workshop.github.io/2021/ ======================================================================== Dates ===== Paper submissions due: August 9, 2021 Notification of acceptance: September 20, 2021 Camera-ready papers due (firm): October 4, 2021 Scope ===== Ensuring correctness in high-performance computing (HPC) applications is one of the fundamental challenges that the HPC community faces today. While significant advances in verification, testing, and debugging have been made to isolate software errors (or defects) in the context of non-HPC software, several factors make achieving correctness in HPC applications and systems much more challenging than in general systems software: growing heterogeneity (architectures with CPUs, GPUs, and special purpose accelerators), massive scale computations (very high degree of concurrency), use of combined parallel programing models (e.g., MPI+X), new scalable numerical algorithms (e.g., to leverage reduced precision in floating-point arithmetic), and aggressive compiler optimizations/transformations are some of the challenges that make correctness harder in HPC. The following DOE report lays out the key challenges and research areas of HPC correctness: https://doi.org/10.2172/1470989 As the complexity of future architectures, algorithms, and applications in HPC increases, the ability to fully exploit exascale systems will be limited without correctness. With the continuous use of HPC software to advance scientific and technological capabilities, novel techniques and practical tools for software correctness in HPC are invaluable. The goal of the Correctness Workshop is to bring together researchers and developers to present and discuss novel ideas to address the problem of correctness in HPC. The workshop will feature contributed papers and invited talks in this area. Topics ====== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Formal methods and rigorous mathematical techniques for correctness in HPC Applications * Program synthesis techniques for testing and debugging HPC applications * Frameworks to address the challenges of testing complex HPC applications (e.g., multiphysics applications) * Approaches for the specification of numerical algorithms with the goal of correctness checking * Error identification in the design and implementation of numerical algorithms using finite-precision floating point numbers * Tools to control the effect of non-determinism when debugging and testing HPC software * Scalable debugging solutions for large-scale HPC applications * Scalable tools for model checking, verification, certification, or symbolic execution * Static and dynamic analysis to test and check correctness in the entire HPC software ecosystem * Predictive debugging and testing approaches to forecast the occurrence of errors in specific conditions * Machine learning and anomaly detection for bug detection and localization * Correctness in emerging HPC programming models * Analysis of software error propagation and error handling in HPC runtime systems and libraries * Metrics to measure the degree of correctness of HPC software * Specifications to check the correctness of runtime systems * Large databases of bug reports and/or reproducible test cases of HPC software * Benchmarks to test the effectiveness of HPC correctness tools Proceedings =========== We expect that the proceedings will be archived in IEEE Xplore via TCHPC. Submissions and Format ====================== Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical or experience papers at a length of at least 6 pages but not exceeding 8 pages of content, including everything. Submissions must use the IEEE format.

======================================================================== Call For Papers Sixth International IEEE Workshop on Extreme Scale Programming Models and Middleware (ESPM2 2021) to be held in conjunction with SuperComputing 2021 November 14 - 19, 2021 St. Louis, Missouri http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/espm2/ ======================================================================== Next-generation architectures and systems being deployed are characterized by high concurrency, low memory per-core, and multiple levels of hierarchy and heterogeneity. These characteristics bring out new challenges in energy efficiency, fault-tolerance, and scalability. It is commonly believed that software has the biggest share of the responsibility to tackle these challenges. In other words, this responsibility is delegated to the next generation programming models and their associated middleware/runtimes. This workshop focuses on different aspects of programming models such as task-based parallelism (Charm++, OCR, Habanero, Legion, X10, HPX, etc), PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.), BigData (Hadoop, Spark, Dask etc), Machine Learning (NVIDIA RAPIDS, Scikit-learn etc.), Deep Learning (Caffe, Microsoft CNTK, Google TensorFlow, Facebook PyTorch), directive-based languages (OpenMP, OpenACC) and Hybrid MPI+X, etc. It also focuses on their associated middleware (unified runtimes, interoperability for hybrid programming, tight integration of MPI+X, and support for accelerators/FPGAs) for next-generation systems and architectures. The ultimate objective of the ESPM2 workshop is to serve as a forum that brings together researchers from academia and industry working in the areas of programming models, runtime systems, compilation, and languages, and application developers. ESPM2 2021 will be held as a full-day workshop in conjunction with SuperComputing (SC 2021) in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Topics ------ ESPM2 2021 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but not limited to: * New programming models, languages, and constructs for exploiting high concurrency and heterogeneity * Experience with and improvements for existing parallel languages and run-time environments such as: - MPI - PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.) - Directive-based programming (OpenMP, OpenACC) - Asynchronous Task-based models (Charm++, OCR, Habanero, Legion, X10, HPX, etc) - Hybrid MPI+X models - BigData (Hadoop, Spark, etc), - Machine Learning (NVIDIA RAPIDS, Scikit-learn, etc.), and - Deep Learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch, LBANN) * Parallel compilers, programming tools, and environments * Software and system support for extreme scalability including fault tolerance * Programming environments for heterogeneous multi-core systems and accelerators such as KNL, OpenPOWER, ARM, GPUs, FPGAs, MICs, and DSPs Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. Keynote Speaker --------------- Details coming soon! Panel Information ----------------- Details coming soon! Paper Submission and Registration --------------------------------- Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the Linklings conference system (https://submissions.supercomputing.org/) After logging in, please select the "Make a New Submission" tab on the top. Click on the "SC21 Workshop: ESPM2 2021" link among the available options to submit your work. Submissions should not exceed 8 pages using IEEE conference format with 10pt font. Each submission must be a single PDF file (see https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) 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). Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. It should not be submitted in parallel to any other conference or journal. Reproducibility Initiative -------------------------- For all technical papers submitted to ESPM2'21, we request the authors to include an "Artifact Description Appendix". A template for how authors should format their appendix will be provided on the submission site. Please note the following: 1. The completed appendix must be at most 2 pages 2. The appendix is meant to provide information about the computing environment you used to produce your results, reducing barriers for future replication of your results by others in the community. 3. If a new software package is developed as part of the publication, it software must be downloadable by anyone without restriction to enable replication of your results by others in the community. - Note that this does not require you to make your code available in an open source manner. 4. A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available. 5. The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the evaluation process. Proceedings Information ----------------------- The workshop proceedings will be published through IEEE TCHPC and included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Each research paper will be taken through a comprehensive peer-review process by an internationally recognized group of experts in the field. Papers will be evaluated along the metrics of a) Quality of Presentation; b) Novelty / Originality; c) Relation to State of the Art; d) Technical Strength; e) Significance of Work; f) Relevance to Workshop, and g) Availability and quality of the "Artifact Description Appendix". Every effort will be made to ensure that each paper receives multiple reviews. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a participant of the workshop and present the paper at the workshop, in order to have the paper published in the proceedings. Please contact the Program Chairs for any questions/clarifications Important Dates --------------- Abstract submission deadline : 11:59 PM, AoE, August 13, 2021 Technical paper submission deadline : 11:59 PM, AoE, August 27, 2021 Author notification : October 1, 2021 Camera-ready deadline : 11:59 PM, AoE, October 7, 2021 ESPM2'21 Workshop Organizers ------------------------------ Hari Subramoni, The Ohio State University Aamir Shafi, The Ohio State University Karl Schulz, University of Texas at Austin Dhabaleswar K.
