[Deadline approaching] WSCC 2023: Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum (co-located with EuroPar 2023)
by Matteo Nardelli 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

(Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) ************************************************************************** WSCC 2023: Euro-Par 2023 International Workshop International Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum Date: 28 August - September 2023 Location: Limassol, Cyprus Workshop web page: https://wscc2023.di.unipi.it/ Euro-Par web page: https://2023.euro-par.org/ ************************************************************************** * Call for Papers The “Compute Continuum” paradigm promises to manage the heterogeneity and dynamism of widespread computing resources, aiming to simplify the execution of distributed applications improving data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy management as well as other non-functional features. This is made possible by overcoming resource fragmentation and segregation in tiers, enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility. All of this should be achievable by application developers without having to worry about how and where the developed components will be executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute Continuum, proactive, autonomous, and infrastructure-aware management is desirable, if not mandatory, calling for novel interdisciplinary approaches that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods. In this landscape, the workshop is willing to attract contributions in the area of distributed systems with particular emphasis on support for geographically distributed platforms and autonomic features to deal with variable workloads and environmental events, and take the best of heterogeneous and distributed infrastructures. A partial list of interesting topics of this workshop is the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for Compute Continuum - System software for cloud-edge-IoT orchestration - Distributed and decentralized management of resources and application deployment in the Compute Continuum - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis - Compute Continuum as a service - Energy-efficient solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum - AI in the Compute Continuum - Scalable applications for Compute Continuum (IoT, microservices, serverless) - Data-intensive and stream processing systems and applications in the Compute Continuum - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving Compute Continuum - Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the Compute Continuum * Submission Instructions The papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines. They should be between a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 12 pages. * Special Issue Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the Special Issue of the Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems on “Scalable Compute Continuum”. For important dates and additional info, see the related Call for Papers: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems/ab… * Important Dates May 5th, 2023 Paper submission deadline June 19th, 2023 Paper acceptance notifications July 2nd, 2023 Camera-ready due * Workshop Co-Chairs - Valeria Cardellini, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy - Patrizio Dazzi, University of Pisa, Italy - Gabriele Mencagli, University of Pisa, Italy - Matteo Nardelli, Bank of Italy, Italy - Massimo Torquati, University of Pisa, Italy Looking forward to receiving your excellent submissions soon.

======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS, SHORT PAPERS AND POSTERS EuroMPI 2023, co-located with the 19th International Workshop on OpenMP [ https://eurompi23.github.io/ | https://eurompi23.github.io ] Sept 11-13, 2023, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK Deadline for abstract submission: 22th April 2023 May 8th 2023 AOE Deadline for papers: 29th April 2023 May 15th 2023 AOE Deadline for short papers and posters: 1st July 2023 AoE ======================================================================== The EuroMPI conference is the preeminent meeting for users, developers and researchers to interact and discuss new developments and applications of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). This includes new proposed concepts and extensions to the MPI standard, libraries and languages built in top of MPI, interfaces to other standards in parallel programming, applications and optimizations to new architectures and networks, novel algorithms, and tools, with particular focus on quality, portability, performance, and scalability. The annual meeting has a long, rich tradition, and has been held since 1994. EuroMPI will be held at the University of Bristol in Bristol, UK from September 11th to 13th, 2023. It will be co-scheduled with the MPI Forum meeting and all participants are invited to extend their participation to join the meeting. Topics EuroMPI 2023 will have a renewed focus on new developments and applications of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). This includes new proposed concepts and extensions to the MPI standard, libraries and languages built on top of MPI, interfaces to other standards in parallel programming, applications and optimizations to new architectures and networks, novel algorithms, and tools, with particular focus on quality, portability, performance, and scalability. We invite high-quality, full and short paper submissions on all topics related to MPI. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Implementation Issues and Algorithms: Efficient and scalable implementations of message-passing constructs. * Architectures and systems: Towards exascale computing, efficient use of accelerators and other features of modern, large-scale systems, hardware-software interaction. * Programming models and paradigms for large-scale, parallel, distributed memory systems, hierarchical and hybrid models, partitioned global address space (PGAS) models. * Extensions to and shortcomings of MPI, alternative interfaces and solutions. * New, parallel (MP I/O mechanisms optimizations. * Hybrid and heterogeneous programming with MPI and other interfaces. * Message passing interface support for data-intensive parallel applications. * Fault tolerance in message-passing implementations and systems. * MPI parallel programming in clouds and non-dedicated systems. * Applications and Performance. * Performance evaluation for MPI and MPI-based applications. * Automatic performance tuning of applications and implementations. * Verification of message-passing applications and protocols. * Applications using message passing, in particular in computational science and scientific computing. * Parallel algorithms in the message-passing paradigm. * Interactions between the message-passing library and runtime systems. Papers will be reviewed for quality, originality, clarity, correctness, technical strength, and relevance to the topics of the meeting. Reviews are blind (but not double-blind), the names of the authors will be seen by the program committee. Submission Guidelines To be considered, papers must be formatted according to the “sigconf” style in the ACM 2017 Template and * up to 10 pages in length (full paper) or * up to 5 pages in length (short papers) or * up to 3 pages in length (poster) in PDF format. The page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit. Margins and font sizes should not be modified. Submissions will be handled via EasyChair at: [ https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurompi23 | https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurompi23 ] Important Deadlines (AOE) Abstract deadline: 22th April 2023 May 8th 2023 Paper submission deadline: 29th April 2023 May 15th 2023 Paper notification: 19th June 2023 Short papers and posters submission deadline: 1st July 2023 Short papers and posters notification: 10th July 2023 Event schedule: September 11-13, 2023 EuroMPI 2023 Committee: [ https://eurompi23.github.io/organization | https://eurompi23.github.io/organization ] Publicity Chairs Julien Jaeger, CEA, France Emmanuelle Saillard, Inria, France
