!!!!!! NEWS: DEADLINE POSTPONED TO FEBRUARY 8, 2025 !!!!!!!! CALL FOR PAPERS ******************************************************************************* GrAPL 2025: Workshop on Graphs, Architectures, Programming, and Learning https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://hpc.pnl.gov/grapl/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!Z4O0… June 4, 2025 Co-Located with IPDPS 2025 Politecnico di Milano, Milano, IT ****************************************************************************** Data analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of computer science. Many real-world analytic workloads combine graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop’s scope is broad and encompasses the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows. This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. In particular, we are interested, but not limited to the following topics: * Provide tractability and performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows; * Investigate novel solutions for accelerating graph learning-based methods using methodologies such as graph neural networks and knowledge graphs; * Discuss graph programming models and associated frameworks such as GraphBLAS, Galois, Pregel, the Boost Graph Library, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs; * Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms; * Discuss the convergence of graph analytics, frameworks, and graph databases; * Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning; * Discuss the problem domains and applications of graph methods, machine learning methods, or both. Besides regular papers, short papers (up to four pages) describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.

=============================================================== The fifth Workshop on Challenges and Opportunities of Efficient and Performant Storage Systems (CHEOPS) https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://cheops-workshop.github.io/2025.html__;!!… March 31st, 2025 Rotterdam, Held in conjunction with EuroSys 2025 =============================================================== We are pleased to announce the fourth Workshop on Challenges and Opportunities of Efficient and Performant Storage Systems (CHEOPS'25). CHEOPS'25 will be hosted in conjunction with EuroSys'25. The fifth workshop on “Challenges and Opportunities of Efficient and Performant Storage Systems” (CHEOPS) is aimed at researchers, developers of scientific applications, engineers and everyone interested in the evolution of storage systems. As the developments of computing power, storage and network technologies continue to diverge, the bandwidth performance gap between them widens. This trend, combined with the ever growing data volumes and data-driven computing such as machine learning, results in I/O and storage limitations, impacting the scalability and efficiency of current and future computing systems. Some of these challenges are quantitative, such as scale to match exascale system requirements, or latency reduction of the software stack to efficiently integrate new generations of hardware like storage class memory (SCM). Some other issues are more subtle and arise with the increased complexity of the storage solutions, like new smarter and more potent data management tools, monitoring systems or interoperability between I/O components or data formats. The main objective of this workshop is to discuss state-of-the-art research, innovative ideas and experiences that focus on the design and implementation of storage systems in both academic and industrial worlds. Topics of Interest ------------------------ Submissions may be more hands-on than research papers, so we explicitly encourage submissions in the early stages of research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Operating system optimizations Kernel and user space file/storage systems Including virtual file systems Cloud, parallel and distributed file/storage systems Network challenges, such as scalability, QoS and partitionability Approaches for low-latency and heterogeneous storage systems Such as SCM and NVRAM combined with HDDs Metadata management Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Storage requirements of ML and AI applications Using ML and AI within storage systems (e.g., to replace heuristics) Hybrid solutions using file systems and databases Approaches using query and database interfaces, including key-value stores Optimized indexing techniques Data organizations to support online workflows Data privacy and data security Domain-specific data management solutions Application I/O characterization Storage systems modeling and analysis tools Data reduction techniques Lossless and lossy compression, deduplication UI/UX for storage systems Related experiences from users: what worked, what didn’t? Feedback and empirical evaluation of storage systems Work in Progress (WIP) Submissions --------------------------- There will be a WIP session where presenters provide brief (5-minute) talks on their on-going work, with fresh problems/solutions. WIP will not be included in the proceedings. A one-page abstract is required. DEADLINES Submissions due: Feb 21st, 2025 Notification: Mar 1st, 2025 Submissions by email: Please email your submission as a PDF attachment of the one-page abstract to Amelie Chi Zhou (amelieczhou(a)hkbu.edu.hk) and Kira Duwe (kira.duwe(a)epfl.ch) Put “CHEOPS 2025 WIP” as the first part of the message subject.

It enables tackling data-intensive challenges in various fields. PDC influences both "explicit" user programming and "implicit" everyday tool usage. As PDC becomes ubiquitous, it's crucial that computing curricula incorporate these topics. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into PDC has further enhanced its capabilities. AI algorithms and models can be leveraged to optimize resource allocation, improve load balancing, and automate task distribution in parallel and distributed systems. AI-powered predictive analytics can also help anticipate resource demands and dynamically adjust PDC configurations. Additionally, AI-driven fault tolerance mechanisms can enhance the reliability of PDC environments. The rapid advancements in hardware, software, and applications pose ongoing challenges in keeping educational programs up-to-date. Preparing students for careers centered around PDC and is vital in this evolving landscape. The EduPar workshop is organized in collaboration with the NSF/TCPP curriculum initiative on Parallel and Distributed Computing (https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://tcpp.cs.gsu.edu/curriculum__;!!G_uCfscf7e… ) and the Center for Parallel and Distributed Curriculum Development and Educational Resources (CDER). Hosted alongside IPDPS (https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.ipdps.org__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!YcO8EtVZtg… ), EduPar gathers participants from academia, industry, and various educational and research institutions to discuss new ideas, challenges, and experiences in PDC pedagogy, curricula, and workforce development.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: We are accepting submissions for Track 1 Full Papers (6-8 pages), Track 2 Short Papers (3-4 pages), Posters (2-page abstracts), and Peachy Parallel Assignments (2-page abstracts). Please see the details below for each category of submission. All entries must be submitted via the Linklings submission site (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/ipdps/__;!… ). Please ensure that submissions adhere to the IEEE format (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/temp… ), featuring single-spaced, double-column pages with proper inclusion of figures, tables, and references. If accepted, regular and short papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and included in the IEEE Xplore digital library, and authors will present their work in a technical workshop session. Authors of accepted Posters and Peachy Assignments will present their work during the workshop poster sessions. Summary papers of all accepted posters and all accepted Peachy Assignments will also be published in the workshop proceedings. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference and will be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the conference. Summary papers will be written by the Poster and Peachy Assignment chairs and will include, as co-authors, all Poster and Peachy Assignment authors. In addition, all individual abstracts, posters, and preprints of papers will be published on the EduPar-25 CDER website. Papers: Authors are asked to submit 6-8 page papers in pdf format for Track 1 and 3-4 page papers in pdf format for Track 2. Submissions will be reviewed based on the novelty of contributions, impact on the broader undergraduate curriculum, particularly on the core curriculum, relevance to the workshop's goals, and, for experience papers, the results of their evaluation and the evaluation methodology. Posters: High-quality poster presentations are an integral part of EduPar. We seek posters (2-page abstracts) describing recent or ongoing research. Peachy Parallel Assignments: Course assignments are integral to student learning and also play an important role in student perceptions of the field. EduPar will include a session showcasing "Peachy Parallel Assignments" - high-quality assignments, previously tested in class, that are readily adoptable by other educators teaching topics in parallel and distributed computing. Assignments may be previously published, but the author must have the right to publish a description of it and share all supporting materials. We are seeking assignments that are: Tested - All submitted assignments should have been used successfully in a class. Adoptable - Preference will be given to widely applicable and easy-to-adopt assignments. Traits of such assignments include coverage of widely taught concepts, using common parallel languages and widely available hardware, having few prerequisites, and (with variations) being appropriate for different levels of students. Cool and inspirational - We want assignments that excite students and encourage them to spend time with the material. Ideally, they would be things that students want to show off to their roommates. Assignments can cover any topics in Parallel and Distributed Computing. Preference will be given to assignments aimed at students in the early courses. Submissions (2-page abstracts) should describe the assignment and its contextual usage and include a link to a web page containing the complete set of files given to students (assignment description, supporting code, etc.). The document should cover the following items: What is the main idea of the assignment? What concepts are covered? Who are its targeted students? In what context have you used it? What prerequisite material does it assume they have seen? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Are there any variations that may be of interest?
