CALL FOR PAPERS 11th Workshop on Fault-Tolerance for HPC at eXtreme Scale (FTXS 2021) In conjunction with The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC21) St. Louis, Missouri, USA November 14 - 19, 2021 https://sites.google.com/view/ftxs2021 twitter.com/ftxsworkshop Important Dates * Submission of papers: August 27, 2021 * Author notification: September 27, 2021 * Camera-ready papers: TBA * Workshop: November 14, 2021 Authors are invited to submit original papers on the research and practice of fault-tolerance in extreme-scale distributed systems (primarily HPC systems, but including grid and cloud systems). Resilience and fault-tolerance remain a major concern for supercomputing and advances in this area are needed. Therefore, we are broadly interested in forward-looking papers that seek to characterize and mitigate the impact of faults. We are particularly interested in papers that address issues related to the following developments in extreme-scale systems: * Storage Devices: The storage hierarchy on HPC systems continues to increase in depth and complexity. SSDs and NVMe add high-speed node-local (or rack-local) persistent storage that can be used to improve the performance of checkpoint/restart or otherwise facilitate application resilience. Continuing to efficiently exploit these devices remains critical for extreme-scale HPC systems. Moreover, the recent availability of Non-Volatile Memory Modules (NVMMs) has begun to blur the line between memory and storage. The implications of this blurring for fault tolerance on extreme-scale systems are still being explored. • System Heterogeneity: Modern HPC systems increasingly include GPUs, FPGAs, and other types of accelerators. New networking devices like Data Processing Units (DPUs) and SmartNICs are also starting to be deployed. However, there are many resilience and fault tolerance issues associated with these devices that still need to be resolved. Papers at prominent recent conferences (including SC20, ICS 2019, and IEEE Cluster 2018) demonstrate that understanding the fault tolerance implications of heterogeneous compute devices is an important and active area of research. • Computing Paradigms: Novel non-von Neumann computing paradigms, including quantum and neuromorphic computing, have attracted significant research interest. Recent publications demonstrate that understanding the fault tolerance implications of these computing paradigms is also an area of active research. * Machine Learning: Algorithms that rely on elements of machine learning are becoming more and more prevalent on HPC systems. Understanding how these algorithms react and respond to the frequency and variety of faults that occur on HPC systems is critical to ensuring that they continue to provide accurate and timely answers. Additional topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Algorithmic-Based Fault Tolerance (ABFT) techniques to address undetected (silent) errors * Silent data corruption (SDC) detection / correction techniques * Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations * Failure data analysis and field studies * Power, performance, resilience (PPR) assessments / tradeoffs * Emerging hardware and software technology for resilience * Advances in reliability monitoring, analysis, and control of highly complex systems * Failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery techniques * Fault-tolerant programming models * Models for software and hardware reliability * Metrics and standards for measuring, improving, and enforcing effective fault-tolerance * Scalable Byzantine fault-tolerance and security from single-fault and fail-silent violations * Atmospheric evaluations relevant to HPC systems (terrestrial neutrons, temperature, voltage, etc.) * Near-threshold-voltage implications and evaluations for reliability * Benchmarks and experimental environments including fault injection * Frameworks and APIs for fault-tolerance and fault management PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submissions are solicited in the following categories: * Regular papers presenting innovative ideas improving the state of the art or discussing the issues seen on existing extreme-scale systems, including some form of analysis and evaluation. * Extended abstracts proposing disruptive ideas and challenging assumptions in the field, including some form of preliminary results. Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and given shorter oral presentations, but will NOT be published. Submissions shall be sent electronically, must conform to IEEE conference proceedings style. Regular papers should not exceed ten (10) pages including all text, appendices, figures, and references. Extended abstract papers should not exceed three (3) pages. These are *maximum* page lengths; shorter submissions are welcome.

(Source: J.L. Hennessy and D.A. Patterson: “A New Golden Age for Computer Architecture” in Communications of the ACM 62.2 (2019), pp. 48-60) ========================================================================= Overview: The ARCS conferences series has over 30 years of tradition reporting leading edge research in computer architecture and operating systems. The focus of the 2021 conference will be on novel computer architectures to overcome the inefficiencies in general-purpose processors. This includes hardware architectures, programming models, runtime environments, cross-sectional topics, and real-world use cases. The proceedings of ARCS 2021 are planed to be published in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series. A best paper and best presentation award will be presented at the conference. Facing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, ARCS 2021 will be a virtual conference with live presentations, live Q&A, and up-to-date opportunities for virtual socializing. ========================================================================= Keynotes: * Monday Keynote: "The Cambrian Explosion in Architecture – Are We “There” Yet?", Peter Kogge, Univ. of Notre Dame, USA Given the recent explosion in novel architectural features, it is natural to assert that we are at least entering a similar “golden age” of computing. This talk explores this assertion, with a comparison of advances in architecture with the evolution of life, and a conclusion that no, we are not quite at the Cambrian point yet, but the diversity we see now is a sign that architecture a generation from now may look radically different than today. [...] * Tuesday Keynote: "Brain Inspired Computing", Johannes Schemmel, Heidelberg University, Germany Brain Inspired or Neuromorphic Computing, as a realization of Non- Turing, in-memory, event-based computing, will allow us to overcome the power wall our CPU-centric CMOS technology is facing.

CFP: SI on Distributed Intelligence at the Edge for the Future Internet of Things (JPDC, deadline EXTENDED: August 31, 2021)
by Anna Kobusińska 24 May '21

24 May '21

*CALL FOR PAPERS * Special Issue on *DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE FOR THE FUTURE INTERNET OF THINGS* - / JOURNAL OF PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING//// / *WEBSITE:* https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-compu… **IMPOTRANT DATES:* *Submission deadline: 31-AUGUST-2021 (EXTENDED) Acceptance deadline: 31-JANUARY-2022 (EXTENDED) Publication: EARLY 2022 * SCOPE*: Currently and even more in the future, business, industry, finance and retail, healthcare, media, entertainment and many others, are and will be completely managed, coordinated, and controlled using huge amounts of data. These operations are performed by the Internet of Things (IoT) system of connected computing, digital, and mechanical devices, all of them named using unique identifiers (UIDs) and able to transfer data over a network without human intervention. To extract value from such massive data volumes, processing power offered by cloud computing is still utilized. However, streaming data to the cloud exposes some limitations related to the increased communication and data transfer, which introduces delays and consumes network bandwidth. Another limitation that cloud-based computing for IoT poses is limited network connectivity. Therefore, the adoption of cloud computing to process data generated by IoT devices may not be applicable at all to classes of applications such as those needed for real-time, low latency, and mobile applications. Therefore, it is beyond imagination to use cloud computing to collect data, store, and work out results. Therefore, there has been a move towards mobile communication and edge computing. Billions of devices have been connected to the Internet and created zettabytes of data items. The problem remains on how to extract information from collected data best. The use of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, neural network, and data analytic techniques in edge processing resulted in a new inter-disciplinary field that enables distributed intelligence with edge devices and is known as distributed edge AI or edge intelligence. However, research on edge AI and distributed edge AI is still relatively new, and thus models, techniques, and protocols supporting intelligent management, querying and mining of large-scale amounts of data produced at the edge are required. A lot of challenges related to providing edge intelligence include training edge devices, so they can become smarter and smarter. There is also a need of the presentation of the most recent outcome of research of distributed intelligence. This need could be illustrated by a smart city that contains for instance: garages, parkings, car washing systems, traffic unloading centrals etc. – usually belonging to different companies and running different protocols. A most likely scenario is that these devices could use different AI systems to support their activities. However, all of them are parts of one interconnected smart city; different AI systems must cooperate for common goal(s). Thus, we need distributed intelligence. Examples and different AI systems working for different edges could be multiplied; they support a variety of edges. All want to make money, kick competitors from the market out, and grab their systems. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on creating better software and algorithms that can run efficiently on resource-constrained devices. Moreover, purpose-built hardware at the edge is becoming increasingly important in the field of machine learning because companies can run software much more efficiently if they use specialized chips. Another key challenge of distributed edge AI will be the continued improvement of user interfaces that are used to communicate with other humans, including text, voice, vision, and different forms of body language. These only are some of the challenges of edge intelligence. This field is expected to arise in the upcoming years and become an essential part of the next generation of the Internet of Things that expands its reach into almost every domain. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to identify and provide high-quality research on recent advances on edge AI and distributed edge AI. We are interested in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm. *TOPICS OF INTEREST * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: · Distributed Intelligence at the Edge · Modeling and Development of IoT applications using Edge AI · Distributed AI with/for Secure Edge Networking · Machine-Learning Algorithms for IoT Applications · Optimization, Control, And Automation in Edge Computing for IoT · Secure Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Secure Intelligent Coordination and Networking Between IoT, Edge, and Cloud · AI-Based Resource Allocation in IoT-Edge Systems · Trust and Privacy Management in Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Quality of Service and Energy Efficiency for Intelligent IoT-Edge Systems · Data Mining and Big Data Analytics for Security and Resource Management in IoT-Edge Systems · Distributed Ledger Technologies and Blockchain in IoT Environments *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES* Original, high-quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are sought. Papers will be peer-reviewed by independent reviewers and selected based on originality, scientific quality, and relevance to this Special Issue.

CALL FOR PAPERS Track 5: Software, System and Service Engineering (S3E'21; https://fedcsis.org/2021/s3se) Organized within 2021 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems (FedCSIS'21; IEEE #52320) ************************* COVID-19 Information ************************* While we have planned the 2021 conference to take place in Sofia, Bulgaria, slow progress in fighting the global pandemic has forced us to switch to the fully online mode. Therefore, we plan to organize FedCSIS 2022 in Sofia, and hope that by that time COVID will be over, and we will be able to meet in person. FedCSIS organizers ************************************************************************ FOR PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINES SEE THE BOTTOM OF THIS MESSAGE The S3E track emphasizes the issues relevant to developing and maintaining software systems that behave reliably, efficiently and effectively. This track investigates both established traditional approaches and modern emerging approaches to large software production and evolution. For decades, it is still an open question in software industry, how to provide fast and effective software process and software services, and how to come to the software systems, embedded systems, autonomous systems, or cyber-physical systems that will address the open issue of supporting information management process in many, particularly complex organization systems. Even more, it is a hot issue how to provide a synergy between systems in common and software services as mandatory component of each modern organization, particularly in terms of IoT, Big Data, and Industry 4.0 paradigms. In recent years, we are the witnesses of great movements in the area of software, system and service engineering (S3E). Such movements are both of technological and methodological nature. By this, today we have a huge selection of various technologies, tools, and methods in S3E as a discipline that helps in a support of the whole information life cycle in organization systems. Despite that, one of the hot issues in practice is still how to effectively develop and maintain complex systems from various aspects, particularly when software components are crucial for addressing declared system goals, and their successful operation. It seems that nowadays we have great theoretical potentials for application of new and more effective approaches in S3E. However, it is more likely that real deployment of such approaches in industry practice is far behind their theoretical potentials. The main goal of Track 5 is to address open questions and real potentials for various applications of modern approaches and technologies in S3E so as to develop and implement effective software services in a support of information management and system engineering. We intend to address interdisciplinary character of a set of theories, methodologies, processes, architectures, and technologies in disciplines such as: Software Engineering Methods, Techniques, and Technologies, Cyber-Physical Systems, Lean and Agile Software Development, Design of Multimedia and Interaction Systems, Model Driven Approaches in System Development, Development of Effective Software Services and Intelligent Systems, as well as applications in various problem domains. We invite researchers from all over the world who will present their contributions, interdisciplinary approaches or case studies related to modern approaches in S3E.

Submission Details ****************** Submissions of the research summary must be made in EPTCS format (http://info.eptcs.org/) and submitted via EasyChair. All papers must be written in English and should be between 5 and 10 pages. For all accepted DC papers, the student is required to attend the DC program and give a presentation during the DC. A program committee consisting of experts in various areas related to logic and constraint programming reviews the submissions. Papers are reviewed by at least two, and usually three, referees. The submission package should consist of the research summary in the format mentioned above, a short vita or cover letter of the applicant, a letter of recommendation from applicant's faculty advisor, and one paragraph statement outlining how the school will benefit the applicant. All material is to be submitted electronically, in PDF format on the Easychair system. Easychair link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclp2021 (Doctoral Consortium track) Research summary (make sure to include your complete name, address, and affiliation): The body of your research summary (no more than 10 pages, but 5 is fine as well!) should provide a clear overview of your research, its potential impact, and its current status. You are encouraged to include the following sections: ** Introduction and problem description ** Background and overview of the existing literature ** Goal of the research ** Current status of the research ** Preliminary results accomplished (if any) ** Open issues and expected achievements ** Bibliographical references Review Criteria *************** The DC program committee will select participants based on their anticipated contribution to the DC objectives. Participants typically have settled on their thesis directions and have their research proposal accepted by their thesis committee. Students will be selected based on clarity and completeness of their submission package, relevance of their research area w.r.t. the focus of ICLP, stage of research, recommendation letter, and evidence of promise towards a successful career in research and academia, such as published papers or technical reports. Registration ************ Registration is part of the ICLP 2021 registration. Registration costs for ICLP will be lower than usual since it is virtual this year. We aim to find sponsoring to cover the registration cost of students participating in the DC, but this still has to be confirmed.

Call for Papers: Workshop on IoT, Edge, and Mobile for Embedded Machine Learning (ITEM)/ECML-PKDD 2021
by Holger Fröning 20 May '21

20 May '21

(apologies if you receive multiple publicity emails) ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd International Workshop on IoT, Edge, and Mobile for Embedded Machine Learning (ITEM 2021) https://www.item-workshop.org <https://www.item-workshop.org/> September 13-17, 2021, online In conjunction with European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML-PKDD 2021) https://2021.ecmlpkdd.org <https://2021.ecmlpkdd.org/> ================================================================================ ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Local and embedded machine learning (ML) is a key component for real-time data analytics in upcoming computing environments like the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing and mobile ubiquitous systems. The goal of the ITEM workshop is to bring together experts, researchers and practitioners from all relevant communities, including ML, hardware design and embedded systems, IoT, edge, and ubiquitous / mobile computing. Topics of interest include compression techniques for existing ML models, new ML models that are especially suitable for embedded hardware, federated learning approaches, as well as automatic code generation, frameworks and tool support. The workshop is planned as a combination of invited talks, paper submissions, as well as open-table discussions. There is an increasing need for real-time intelligent data analytics, driven by a world of Big Data, and the society’s need for pervasive intelligent devices, such as wearables for health and recreational purposes, smart city infrastructure, e-commerce, Industry 4.0, and autonomous robots. Most applications share facts like large data volumes, real-time requirements, limited resources including processor, memory, network and possibly battery life. Data might be large but possibly incomplete and uncertain. Notably, often powerful cloud services can be unavailable, or not an option due to latency or privacy constraints. For these tasks, Machine Learning (ML) is among the most promising approaches to address learning and reasoning under uncertainty. Examples include image and speech processing, such as image recognition, segmentation, object localization, multi-channel speech enhancement, speech recognition, signal processing such as radar signal denoising, with applications as broad as robotics, medicine, autonomous navigation, recommender systems, etc. To address uncertainty, limited data, and to improve in general the robustness of ML, new methods are required, with examples including Bayesian approaches, sum-product networks, capsule networks, graph-based neural networks, and many more. One can observe that, compared with deep convolutional neural networks, computations can be fundamentally different, compute requirements can substantially increase, and underlying properties like structure in computation are often lost. As a result, we observe a strong need for new ML methods to address the requirements of emerging workloads deployed in the real-world, such as uncertainty, robustness, and limited data. In order to not hinder the deployment of such methods on various computing devices, and to address the gap in between application and compute hardware, we furthermore need a variety of tools. As such, this workshop proposal gears to gather new ideas and concepts on - ML methods for real-world deployment, - methods for compression and related complexity reduction tools, - dedicated hardware for emerging ML tasks, - and associated tooling like compilers and mappers. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Compression of neural networks for inference deployment, including methods for quantization (including binarization), pruning, knowledge distillation, structural efficiency and neural architecture search - Learning on edge devices, including federated and continuous learning - Trading among prediction quality (accuracy), efficiency of representation (model parameters, data types for arithmetic operations and memory footprint in general), and computational efficiency (complexity of computations) - Automatic code generation from high-level descriptions, including linear algebra and stencil codes, targeting existing and future instruction set extensions - Tool driven, optimizations up from ML model level down to instruction level, automatically adapted to the current hardware requirements - Understanding the difficulties and opportunities using common ML frameworks with marginally supported devices - Exploring new ML models designed to use on designated device hardware - Future emerging processors and technologies for use in resource-constrained environments, e.g. RISC V, embedded FPGAs, or analogue technologies - Applications and experiences from deployed use cases requiring embedded ML - New and emerging applications that require ML on resource-constrained hardware - Energy efficiency of ML models created with distinct optimization techniques - Security/privacy of embedded ML - New benchmarks suited to edge and embedded devices IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: June 23, 2021 Acceptance notification: August 4, 2021 Camera-ready paper: August 18, 2021 Workshop program and proceedings online: September 1, 2021 Workshop date: Sept 13-17, 2021 (depending on conference organization) PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers must be written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines. Author instructions, style files and the copyright form can be downloaded here: http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui… <http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui…> Submissions may not exceed 12 pages in PDF format for full papers, respectively 6 pages for short papers, including figures and references. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or journal. Work in progress is welcome, but first results should be made available as a proof of concept. Submissions only consisting of a proposal will be rejected.
