26 Feb '25

======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Fifth Combined Workshop on Interactive and Urgent High-Performance Computing In conjunction with ISC25 Friday, June 13, 2025 Congress Center Hamburg, Messe Hamburg, Germany Website: https://www.interactivehpc.com/cfp X/Twitter: @interactivehpc ======================================================================== Submission deadline: March 14, 2025 (AOE) Author notification: March 28, 2025 We invite submission of 6-12 page papers that will be peer reviewed. We welcome original research, work-in-progress papers, and position papers related to the interactive usage of high-performance computing. Accepted authors will both be invited to speak at the workshop and to submit their papers for publication in ISC25 workshop proceedings. Scope ===== This workshop will 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 best practices will be shared across the two themes with a view to enhancing the communities' activities and identifying new opportunities for collaboration. The challenges associated with interactive and urgent HPC are difficult ones, and productively supporting these capabilities requires a number of advances across a range of technical, policy, and even sociological realms. While there are multiple efforts to use HPC for disaster response, and progress has been made on interactivity in HPC, the effort is largely disjointed, piecemeal, and done on an institute-by-institute basis. With so much replication of effort, there is significant value to be unlocked if the SC community can come together to address the issues relevant to both interactive and urgent HPC. Call for Papers =========== We invite you to submit 6-12 page papers detailing original work or work in progress. Position papers are also welcome. Appropriate topic areas include: * 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 Paper Submission Guidelines ======================= Please submit 6-12 page papers on original work, work-in-progress, or position papers. All papers should be formatted according to Springer LNCS guidelines (see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…) and submitted via EasyChair the link to which you can find on our website (https://www.interactivehpc.com) Authors of selected papers will be invited to speak at the workshop and to submit their papers for publication in ISC25 workshop proceedings. Questions? ======== Our contact details are available on the workshop webpage at https://www.interactivehpc.com

Blockchain has a great potential to create new foundations for most distributed systems by efficiently establishing trust among nodes, especially in emerging networks. Such a fundamental technology to enable decentralization play an important role in a wide spectrum of topics such as Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), edge computing, cloud computing, fog, mobile computing, social networking, wireless communication, vehicular network, and even more other fields. At the same time, there is a lack of fundamental study on the limitation of blockchain such as scalability, security, privacy, efficiency, availability and dependability. Hence, the development and deployment of blockchain-based systems and applications will likely exhibit new requirements and complicated challenges, which brings more open issues and exciting directions for research communities. The aim of BCAT is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in cloud computing, distributed systems, cryptography, security, and networking, from academia and industry, who are interested in the applications and theory of blockchains and related protocols.

IEEE NetSoft 2025 - PhD Symposium - Call for Papers
by Tortonesi Mauro 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers IEEE Netsoft 2025 PhD Symposium in conjunction with IEEE NetSoft 2025 23-27 June 2025 Budapest, Hungary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates Submission deadline: April 3, 2025 Notification date: May 9, 2025 Camera ready: May 15, 2025 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Objectives The spirit of the PhD symposium is to offer an opportunity for students, currently performing a PhD in the scientific scope of the Netsoft conference, as specified in the call for papers, to present the advancement of their research work and collect tailored feedback from experts of the Netsoft community. As such, expected submissions must be issued by ongoing or very recently defended PhD students. The PhD symposium clearly expects submissions which summarize the PhD scientific activities at a given advancement stage. As such, they must not overlap with traditional scientific papers presented as long or short papers in conferences and workshops. Since the relevant scientific aspects evolve according to a PhD advancement, two types of submissions are considered in the PhD symposium, as described below. EARLY STAGE PHD Expected contribution: Early stage PhD submissions are welcome with papers describing the general context of the PhD activity and the locks it aims at eventually overcoming. A synthetic but comprehensive state of the art of the field must be provided and the limits of current scientific contributions must be especially emphasized so that to formulate one or a few research questions which form the core of the PhD problem statement. Finally, the selected research methodology and some early ideas, even neither implemented nor validated, can be exposed. Finally, a general view of the work lying ahead has to be provided too. Eligibility: The Early Stage paper format is dedicated to the 1st year PhD students or early 2nd year PhD students who are starting to elaborate their first research contributions. Paper format: Submitted papers should not exceed four (4) pages in length, including references. LATE STAGE PHD Expected contribution: Late Stage submissions aim at providing an overview of the accomplished PhD work from a methodological perspective. More specifically, it must provide an up-to-date state of the art that pinpoints some limits motivating the contribution further exposed. Then, the current status of the research work with a particular emphasis on the selected methodology is expected and a comparison with the state of the art can be provided when relevant and achievable. Finally, according to the PhD advancement, the planned or implemented evaluation methodology and to what extent the latter supports reproducibility of research (sharing data sets, codes, etc.) have to be exposed. For PhD students who have already graduated, the PhD outcomes and the way they push forward the initial limits, as well as their current limits, is particularly expected. Please note that late stage submissions must not overlap with standard scientific papers focused on a standalone scientific contribution as presented in long or short papers of conferences and workshops, such as Netsoft and beyond. Eligibility: Late Stage submissions target ending PhD students or those who recently graduated, which is roughly from the beginning of the PhD manuscript writing up to 6 months after the defense. The Late Stage format is also open to ongoing PhD (i.e. 2nd year) if the submitted content satisfies with the expectations exposed above. Paper format: Submitted papers should not exceed six (6) pages in length, including references. General Eligibility As PhD symposium differs from standard scientific tracks, and solely targets ongoing or very recently defended PhD, some eligibility assessment must be satisfied for submissions to be considered: - The list of authors is restricted to the PhD student and the supervisor. In the case where more than one advisor is involved in the PhD, thus leading to several authors in addition to the PhD student, the PhD symposium chairs must be informed and any official assessment must be provided. - PhD students of accepted PhD symposium papers must register to Netsoft 2025 and they are the sole person able to present their work during the event. - An official letter from the PhD advisor(s) is required to state the PhD status (beginning for Early Stage, ending with PhD defense date (expected or achieved) for Late Stage). General Submission Guidelines Two tracks are available for submission: one for Early Stage PhD submissions, and one for Late Stage PhD submissions. In both tracks, PhD students have to submit two files: the manuscript and the letter of their supervisor to prove their status as a PhD student. Manuscripts must be written in English and formatted according to the standard IEEE double-column conference template (10-point font). Templates and examples in LaTeX and Microsoft Word are available for download at: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/temp… . Papers not matching the length and formatting requirements or violating IEEE’s guidelines on plagiarized content will be rejected without review. All other submitted papers will be reviewed. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all manuscripts must be electronically submitted through EDAS using the following link: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://edas.info/N33479__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!ZCQgQU… . Accepted submissions are published in the conference proceedings and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, provided that they are duly presented. Topics of Interest The symposium solicits submissions in the same field of the main conference. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Softwarized cloud, fog, and edge infrastructures - Network softwarization for 5G/6G - Softwarization in Metaverse (AR/VR and digital twins) - Cooperative multi-domain, multi-tenant SDN/NFV environments. - Future Internet and New IP architectures. - Mobility management in softwarized networks. - High-precision communications and computing - Service Function Chaining (SFC). - Network slicing and slice management - QoS and QoE in softwarized infrastructures. - Network softwarization for deterministic Internet re-engineering - Softwarization for Cognitive and autonomic networking - Policy-based and Intent-based networking. - AI/ML techniques and network softwarization - Dynamic resource discovery and negotiation schemes. - Assurance and Measurements in softwarized networks - Resilience, reliability, and robustness of softwarized networks - Security, Safety, Trust, and Privacy in virtualized environments. - Energy Efficiency in network softwarization - Abstractions and virtualization of resources, services, and functions. - Programmability for Time-Sensitive Networks (TSN) - Programmable Networking Protocols - Programmable SDN and NFV: languages and architectures (P4 and others) - Open source and network softwarization. - Hardware acceleration for programmable network functions. - Development methodologies for network softwarization (DevOps, NetOps, verification). - Deployment and transition strategies. - Experience reports from experimental testbeds and deployments. - New value chains and service models enabled by softwarization. - Socio-economic impact and regulations for softwarization.
