30 Sep '24

Call For Papers BLOCKISA 2025 : BLOCKchain Infrastructure as a Service and its Applications ** Introduction ** PDP is among the prime European and International conferences covering all aspects of parallel and distributed processing, ranging from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed systems and infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to full-fledged applications, from architecture, compiler, language and interface design and implementation, to tools, support infrastructures, and application performance aspects. The PDP 2025 will be hosted by the University of Turin at the rettorato buildings, via Po 17, 10123 Torino, Italy. The cryptocurrency application Bitcoin, proposed back in 2009, availed the potential of Blockchain (BC) as a promising technology for hundreds of foundational applications, including Smart Systems, IoT, e-Health, supply chain, and digital identity. One of the solid properties of BC is its high security guarantees in classical fully distributed systems, which can be challenged by Machine Learning (ML) solutions. However, the recent advances in the field of Quantum Computing (QC), derived basically from the concepts of quantum mechanics revealed several security risks on BC-based solutions. Many proposals attempted to address these risks by improving BC methods, including infrastructure, data structure, cryptography, networking, etc. targeting the so-called post-quantum blockchains. On the other hand, QC and ML can also be used for the optimization of BC methods and configurations, leading to quantum and smart blockchain principles that can see the light once quantum computers are commercialized. Papers submitted to this Special Session of PDP are expected to study and investigate BC-based infrastructure management, services and applications. We also aim at focusing on special ML and QC aspects and potential for strengthening, attacking, and protecting BC-based solutions. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Blockchain-based infrastructure management, services and applications • ML for advanced blockchains, quantum computing, or both, including integrated QML algorithms for smart blockchains and AI-enabled post-quantum blockchains • Quantum and ML methods (e.g. Formal methods, Software, Hardware, Evolutionary algorithms, etc.) for optimizing blockchains in terms of energy efficiency, latency, (cyber)security, privacy, etc. • Quantum and ML algorithms for attacking layered blockchain systems/applications (e.g. Infrastructure, Data structure, Smart Contracts, APIs, etc.) • Blockchain applicable quantum methods, for approaching post-quantum blockchains including cryptography, networking, hardware-based mechanisms, etc. • Testing methods and algorithms for blockchains under the assumption of quantum/ML enabled attackers. • Advancements of ML mechanisms for developing robust post-quantum blockchains. • Integration approaches of ML-BC, QC-BC, and ML-QC-BC systems. • Any other relevant topic that targets Blockchain optimization and/or security. ** Important dates ** Deadline for paper submission: 20th October 2024 Acceptance notification: 2nd December 2024 Camera ready paper due: 27th January 2025 Conference: 12-14th March, 2025 ** Submission guidelines ** Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in length (and in the IEEE Conference proceedings format – IEEEtran, double column, 10pt) including a 150-200 word abstract. To facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of the paper should contain only the title and abstract (i.e., no author names and affiliations should be included) and reference entries to the author’s own work should be substituted with the string “omitted for blind review”. Papers submitted for this special session must be submitted through the conference submission system with an indication of the name of the special session. Papers must adhere to the formatting rules of the conference and will undergo the same review process as other papers submitted to the conference. Proceedings will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) in the same volume as the main conference proceedings. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present the paper at the Conference.

Opportunity for lightning talks at Interactive and Urgent HPC SC24 workshop
by William Arndt 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Are you undertaking work which uses HPC to address interactive and urgent workloads such as responding to disasters, enabling live data exploration, or coupling analysis with actively running experimental equipment? If so, we welcome you to present a short lightning talk at the Fourth Combined Workshop on Interactive and Urgent High-Performance Computing (WIUHPC). This event is held in conjunction with SC 2024, on the morning of Friday November 22nd, 2024. See https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.interactivehpc.com/home__;!!G_uCfscf… for more information. If this is something that you would be interested in doing then please email William Arndt warndt(a)lbl.gov by the Tuesday of October 22nd with a short one paragraph description of your proposed lightning talk. Workshop Scope ============= Interactivity enables users to exploit HPC resources in new and revolutionary ways. One such area is that of urgent computing, where the global pandemic and recent bouts of extreme climate events have demonstrated the need to make urgent, accurate, decisions for complex problems. Combining interactive computational modelling with the near real time detection of unfolding disasters results in a powerful tool that can aid emergency responders making live-critical decisions for disaster response. Ultimately exploiting HPC to save lives and reduce economic loss. If done right, the ability to bring the user into the loop whilst a simulation is running opens a very wide range of opportunities. In this workshop we are focused on how interactivity can empower HPC with a specific focus around supporting urgent workloads. This includes responding to human health emergencies (e.g. global pandemics – COVID, vaccines development and distribution), natural disasters (e.g. wildfires, hurricanes, extreme flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, winter weather conditions), public unrest, food and energy resource management, traffic accidents, and space weather. The technical challenges associated with interactivity and urgent computing on HPC are not simple to solve, and properly supporting this requires many technological advances across a wide range of disciplines. Whilst there are several disjoint efforts in using HPC for disaster response, and some advances around interactivity, much of this is currently piecemeal and done on an institute-by-institute basis. Put simply, there is much replication of effort, and therefore significant value can be unlocked if we work together as the SC community on the technical and policy side. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together stakeholders, researchers and practitioners from across the HPC community who are working, or interested, in the fields of interactive HPC and the use of supercomputing for urgent decision making. Success stories, case-studies and challenges will be shared across the interactive and urgent computing themes with a view to enhancing the communities activities and identifying synergies. This workshop represents a combination of the two previously successful SC workshop series, the UrgentHPC and InteractiveHPC initiatives. As these initiatives have grown over previous SCs we have realised that interactivity is not only a key enabler in running urgent workloads on HPC machines, but furthermore both these areas share many of the same technological and policy challenges. Consequently, we feel it makes a lot of sense to merge these complimentary activities, and by doing so will further the impact delivered to the community. Workshop topics ============= * Example use-cases and case-studies that use HPC for interactivity and/or urgent decision making * Techniques for integrating HPC workflows with data driven approaches * Approaches to verify and validate unreliable real-time data, for instance from sensors, IoT, and satellites * System design for data reduction and pre-processing at source, for instance using edge computing and heterogeneous resources such as FPGAs * Implementation experiences and lessons learned by staff at HPC centers * Algorithmic techniques to guarantee result generation in specific time frames, such as result refinement which generates more accurate results as time progresses * Studies of leveraging HPC for workloads with real-time time constraints * Changes to existing HPC technologies and policies that are required to support using HPC interactively * The ability for HPC codes to adapt their resource requirements dynamically, for instance via elastic compute * Visualization and presentation techniques to support rapid and accurate urgent decision making by the end user * Reduction and feature extraction of results to highlight critical issues of interest * Complimenting results with provenance data for additional context and certainty * Maintaining security while providing interactivity in supercomputing * Strategies for leveraging interactivity for reproducible science * Impact of increased interactivity on how HPC centers operate

Last days to submit - DML-ICC @ IEEE/ACM UCC - 4th International Workshop on Distributed Machine Learning for the Intelligent Computing Continuum
by Luiz Fernando Bittencourt 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

*** CALL FOR PAPERS *** 4th International Workshop on Distributed Machine Learning for the Intelligent Computing Continuum (DML-ICC) In conjunction with the 17th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2024) 16-19 December 2024 Sharjah, UAE https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.lrc.ic.unicamp.br/dml-icc/__;!!G_uCfs… ### Background ### As the cloud extends to the fog and to the edge, computing services can be scattered over a set of computing resources that encompass users' devices, the cloud, and intermediate computing infrastructure deployed in between. Moreover, increasing networking capacity promises lower delays in data transfers, enabling a continuum of computing capacity that can be used to process large amounts of data with reduced response times. Such large amounts of data are frequently processed through machine learning approaches, seeking to extract knowledge from raw data generated and consumed by a widely heterogeneous set of applications. Distributed machine learning has been evolving as a tool to run learning tasks also at the edge, often immediately after the data is produced, instead of transferring data to the centralized cloud for later aggregation and processing. Following the successful DML-ICC 2022, 2022 and 2023, this fourth edition of DML-ICC keeps the aim to be a forum for discussion among researchers with a distributed machine learning background and researchers from parallel/distributed systems and computer networks. By bringing together these research topics, we look forward in building an Intelligent Computing Continuum, where distributed machine learning models can seamlessly run on any device from the edge to the cloud, creating a distributed computing system that is able to fulfill highly heterogeneous applications requirements and build knowledge from data generated by these applications. ### Topics ### DML-ICC 2024 workshop aims to attract researchers from the machine learning community, especially the ones involved with distributed machine learning techniques, and researchers from the parallel/distributed computing communities. Together, these researchers will be able to build resource management mechanisms that are able to fulfill machine learning jobs requirements, but also use machine learning techniques to improve resource management in large distributed systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Autonomic Computing in the Continuum - Business and Cost Models for the Computing Continuum - Complex Event Processing and Stream Processing - Computing and Networking Slicing for the Continuum - Distributed Machine Learning for Resource Management and Scheduling - Distributed Machine Learning in the Computing Continuum - Distributed Machine Learning applications - Distributed Machine Learning performance evaluation - Federated Learning - Intelligent Computing Continuum architectures and models - Management of Distributed Learning tasks - Mobility support in the Computing Continuum - Network management in the Computing Continuum - Privacy using Distributed Learning - Programming models for the Computing Continuum - Resource management and Scheduling in the computing continuum - Smart Environments (Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, Smart Industry, etc.) - Theoretical Modeling for the Computing Continuum ### Submissions ### Paper submission is double-blind, through EasyChair: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dmlicc20… The DML-ICC workshop invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE double-column format, including figures, tables, and references. Up to 2 additional pages might be purchased upon the approval of the proceedings chair.

The review process follows a strict dual-anonymous policy per the established Bench conference norms. The submissions will be judged based on the merit of the ideas rather than the length. After the conference, the proceedings will be published by Springer LNCS or TBench journal (Indexed by EI). At least one author must pre-register for the symposium, and at least one author must attend the symposium to present the paper. Papers for which no author is pre-registered will be removed from the proceedings. - The submission must describe novel, unpublished work that is not currently under review of any other conference venue or journal. - All authors and affiliation information must be anonymized. - Paper must be submitted in printable PDF format (LNCS format). - Please number the pages of your submission. - The submission must be formatted for black-and-white printers. - Please make sure your figures are readable when printed in black and white. - LNCS LaTeX template: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.benchcouncil.org/file/llncs2e.zip__;… Program Committees --------------------- Program Chairs Jianfeng Zhan, ICT, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Weiping Li, Civil Aviation Flight University of China Program Associate Chairs Maodeng Li, Beijing institute of control engineering, China Wanling Gao, ICT, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Technical Program Committees Hajdi Cenan, AIrt, Croatia Wei Wang, East China Normal University, China Jialiang Tan, Lehigh University, USA Dong Li, Zhongguancun Lab, China Tong Wu, National Institute of Metrology, China Davor Runje, AIrt, Croatia Jianming Tang, Hangzhou Dianzi University, China Lei Wang, ICT, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Xingzhou Zhang, ICT, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Jungang Xu, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Yue Liu, Shanghai University, China Zhen Jia, Amazon, USA
