[CFP] Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us (Special Session 11), IEEE MetroAgriFor Workshop
by Lorenzo Palazzetti 29 Mar '24

29 Mar '24

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] Dear Researchers/Authors, You are invited to submit your high-quality research findings to the Special Session 11: "Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us" of the 2024 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Agriculture and Forestry (MetroAgriFor). October 29-31, 2024 - Padua, Italy Website: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.metroagrifor.org/special-session-11_… Aims and Scope The role of sensing, including in-situ, proximity and remote, is increasingly crucial for agriculture and forestry. Huge investments have been made in this field - consider for instance satellite constellations for remote sensing, the thriving UAV sector, and the dawning sector of terrestrial rovers - and benefits are evident in several application areas. The other side of the coin is represented by the data platforms used to collect, store, and process the huge amount of data coming from sensing platforms. Such data platforms should, among others, provide interoperable data through open interfaces (APIs) to different classes of users, but such functionality has not yet reached its full potential. In Europe, there have been several recent initiatives focused on enhancing data sharing and processing. One key effort is the European Strategy for Data, which introduces the concept of a Common European Data Space and includes actions to deploy Agriculture and Green Deal sectorial data spaces. Additionally, the Horizon Europe framework is providing funding for the establishment of European Partnerships that bring together the European Commission with private and/or public partners to address pressing challenges through collaborative research and innovation projects. One such partnership, the European Partnership for Agriculture of Data, aims to support sustainable agriculture in the EU and improve policy monitoring and implementation by leveraging digital and data technologies for environmental observation. The goal of this special session is to investigate the potential and the challenges of both sensing and data platforms, looking to future developments, and also considering economic and legal aspects to be carefully taken into consideration. Contributions are expected to contribute to, but are not limited to, the following topics: - sensing systems, both local and remote, and recent developments; - state of the art of data platforms linked to sensing systems, standards, interoperability enablers, and sustainability of their business model; - GEOSS Data Sharing and Management Principles, FAIR principles, and other interoperable solutions with the potential to further push the use of sensing data; - economic and legal aspects that can fuel or limit the use of such systems. Important dates - Extended Abstract Submission: June 10, 2024 - Extended Abstract Notification: September 1, 2024 - Final Paper Submission: September 20, 2024 Submission Instruction Authors should prepare an Extended Abstract (4-5 pages) that clearly indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the work. The Extended Abstract should include the title of the paper, names and affiliations of the authors, an abstract, keywords, an introduction describing the nature of the problem and the state of the art in the field of interest, a description of the contribution, the results achieved and their applicability, conclusions, and references. When the review process has been completed, authors receive a notification of either acceptance or rejection of the submission. If the paper has been accepted, the authors can prepare a final paper that incorporates the reviewers' suggestions. The format for the final paper is identical to the format for the extended abstract except for the number of pages: the full paper has a required minimum length of five (5) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages.

Despite the progress made in the field, developing efficient algorithms for HPC systems with multiple forms of parallelism remains a challenging problem. More precisely, from an architectural perspective, a High-Performance Computing (HPC) system can be characterized by a hybrid multi-level structure: at the highest level, several systems are interconnected by geographic networks (System level); an intermediate level consists of nodes within a single system communicating through dedicated fast networks or high-performance switches (Node level); finally, at the lowest level, there are multiple computing elements, including computing cores and graphic accelerators, sharing resources within a single CPU (Core level). These architectural levels exhibit distinct features, necessitating different algorithmic development methodologies. Consequently, the development of algorithms and scientific software for these systems requires a judicious combination of methodologies to address the diverse forms of parallelism corresponding to each architectural level. The overarching objective is to develop hybrid and hierarchical algorithms capable of leveraging the underlying platform. Key challenges in this domain include managing extensive degrees of parallelism stemming from numerous computing units, addressing the heterogeneity of these devices, and integrating various forms of parallelism into a single algorithm. These issues are primarily investigated to achieve exascale performance and, on another front, to confront new forms of distributed computing such as cloud computing, edge computing, and their intersection with HPC. This workshop specifically targets Models, Methodologies, Algorithms, and Environments for harnessing all forms of parallelism and their amalgamation at all levels within emerging HPC systems, aiming to consolidate the current state of knowledge in the field. TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: - Hybrid and hierarchical based parallel algorithms - Multi-core and many-core parallel computing, GPU computing - Architecture-aware parallelization on HPC platforms - Auto tuning techniques for heterogeneous and parallel environments - Performance analysis - Techniques for multi-/many-core platforms, NUMA architectures, or accelerator components - Task scheduling and load balancing among computing elements - Synchronization and access to shared resources - Multilevel cache management - Computational kernels for scientific computing and applications - Performance and scalability models - Tools and programming environments supporting efficient usage of multilevel parallelism. - Resources virtualization - High Performance cloud/edge/fog computing - Intra/Infra Virtual machines high performance communications algorithms - Fault tolerant implementation PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION All rules of paper submission of the PPAM conference apply.
