IWOMP 2025 - CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------------- + IWOMP 2025 + 21st International Workshop on OpenMP + October 1-3, 2025 + The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, NC, USA + https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.iwomp.org__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!eKGYKxDsa… + Submission deadline: Friday, June 6 2025 (AoE) (extended deadline) ----------------------------------------- The International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP) is the annual workshop dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel programming with OpenMP. This pioneering workshop has been attracting an international audience of leading academic and industrial experts since 2005 and is the premier forum to present and discuss issues, trends, recent research ideas, and results related to parallel programming with OpenMP. We solicit quality submissions of unpublished technical papers that detail innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP. IWOMP 2025 will be hosted by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA and will be co-located with EuroMPI 2025 (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://eurompi.org/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!eKGYKxDsax… ). BACKGROUND ------------ As computing hardware has evolved from simple cores to advanced SIMD units, deeper memories, and heterogeneous computing, the OpenMP API has also evolved and extended its application interface to harness new capabilities throughout the spectrum of hardware advances. The 5.0, 5.1 5.2 and 6.0 versions of the OpenMP specification have established the OpenMP API as the leading programming language for on-node heterogeneous parallelism that supports all versions of the C/C++ and Fortran base programming languages. Advances in technologies, such as multicore processors and OpenMP devices (accelerators such as GPGPUs, DSPs or FPGAs), Multiprocessor Systems on a Chip (MPSoCs), and recent developments in the OpenMP API itself (e.g., metadirectives and variants for selecting device- and architecture-specific directives) present new opportunities and challenges for software and hardware developers. Recent advances in the C, C++ and Fortran base languages also offer interesting opportunities and challenges to the OpenMP programming model. Theme for 2025: OpenMP: Balancing Productivity and Performance Portability The OpenMP API has been instrumental in advancing parallel programming, enabling portability across both traditional and emerging computing systems. As the standard continues introducing new capabilities, the OpenMP API continues to evolve, offering solutions to the growing complexity of high-performance computing (HPC) environments. The workshop welcomes topics on how OpenMP API strikes a balance between ease of use and maximizing performance, particularly in the context of heterogeneous systems, exascale computing, and real-time workloads. TOPICS ------------ The topics include but are not limited to the following: + Accelerated computing and offloading to devices Applications (in any + domain) that rely on OpenMP Data mining and analysis or text + processing and OpenMP Machine learning and OpenMP Memory model Memory + policies and management Performance analysis and modeling Performance + portability Proposed OpenMP extensions Runtime environment Scientific + and numerical computations Tasking Tools Vectorization SUBMISSIONS ------------ Submitted papers for review should be limited to 12 pages (not counting references). Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare a final paper of up to 15 pages (including references). + Submission deadline: Friday, June 6, 2025 (AoE) (extended deadline) + Acceptance Notifications: Friday, July 11, 2025 (AoE) + Camera Ready Copy Deadline: Friday, July, 25 2025 (AoE) + Submission Link: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwomp202… + Check for Updates: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.iwomp.org__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!eKGYKxDsa… Submitted papers should follow LNCS Guidelines found at: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lnc… PROCEEDINGS ------------ As in previous years, IWOMP 2025 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

CFP: LDAV 2025
by Peterka, Thomas 29 May '25

29 May '25

TL;DR: Submit your abstracts to LDAV by June 16, 2025, please 😊. Call for Papers Contact: ldav-papers(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:[email protected]> Data scales are increasing throughout scientific, business, and research contexts. Large-scale scientific simulations, observation technologies, sensor networks, and experiments are generating enormous datasets, with some projects approaching the multiple exabyte range in the near term. Gaining insight from massive data is critical for disciplines such as climate science, nuclear physics, security, materials design, transportation, urban planning, and so on. Business-critical decisions are made based on massive data in domains like social media, machine learning, software telemetry, and business intelligence. The tools and approaches needed to search, analyze, and visualize data at extreme scales can be fully realized only from end-to-end solutions, and with collective, interdisciplinary efforts. The 15th IEEE Large Scale Data Analysis and Visualization (LDAV) workshop, to be held in conjunction with IEEE VIS 2025, is specifically targeting methodological innovation, algorithmic foundations, and possible end-to-end solutions. The LDAV workshop will bring together domain experts, data analysts, visualization researchers, and users to foster common ground for solving both near- and long-term problems. Scope We are looking for both original research contributions and position papers on a broad range of topics related to the collection, analysis, manipulation, and visualization of large-scale data. We are particularly interested in innovative approaches that combine visualization and visual analytics. LDAV welcomes papers on techniques and algorithms, systems, application and design studies, empirical studies, state of the practice, and position statements. More descriptions of these paper types can be found below. Representative topics include: * Distributed, parallel, and multi-threaded computation * Streaming methods * Innovative software solutions * Advanced hardware- and GPU-based approaches * Hierarchical data storage, retrieval, processing, and rendering * Sampling, approximate query processing, and progressive computation * Collection, management, and curation of massive datasets * Scalable visualization and exploration methods * Ensemble data visualization and analysis * In situ data analysis * Best practices for large data visualization * End-to-end system solutions in a large data context * Industry solutions for big data analysis and visualization * Collaboration and/or co-design of large data analysis with domain experts * Topics in cognitive issues specific to manipulating and understanding large data * Application case studies * New challenges in visualizing experimental, observational, or simulation data As part of the review criteria, reviewers will be asked to assess whether the contribution is in scope for LDAV, i.e., whether it considers “large data”. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to clearly identify the “large data” aspect you address. For LDAV, we define large data to be data of size and complexity that requires innovation to be processed and understood. With respect to size, the techniques for handling this data require either using atypical hardware or specialized techniques that run on typical hardware. Examples of atypical hardware include supercomputers or novel hardware (such as a just-released GPU, an understudied device like an FPGA, or a high-resolution display), with corresponding techniques including, for example, efficient parallelization. There are many examples of specialized techniques that enable typical hardware to operate effectively on large data; canonical examples include multi-resolution and streaming techniques. With respect to complexity, techniques in scope for LDAV should be illuminating data sets that are considerably larger than typical for a given task, for example, but not restricted to: rendering, layout, analysis, etc. Finally, data may be large relative to the resources available, and such examples are welcome at LDAV. For example, novel techniques may be needed to visualize or analyze data on a Raspberry Pi or sensor network. Submission LDAV is accepting both full papers and short papers. The manuscripts should be formatted according to guidelines from IEEE VGTC<https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://vgtc.org/publications/conference__;!!G_uC… >. Submission of an abstract is required prior to submission of a full or short paper. Submission site note: Go to the submission site<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://new.precisionconference.com/vgtc__;!!G_u… > (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://new.precisionconference.com/vgtc__;!!G_u… ), log in, go to ‘Submissions’, and select Society ‘VGTC’, Conference ‘LDAV 2025’, and Track ‘LDAV 2025 Papers’.

Important Dates Abstract Deadline June 16, 2025, 11:59 PM (AOE) Paper Submission June 20, 2025, 11:59 PM (AOE) Author Notification July 25, 2025 Camera-Ready Deadline (AOE) August 8, 2025 Paper Type Categories * Technique & Algorithm * System * Application & Design Study * Empirical Study * State of the Practice * Position Statements Technique & Algorithm A technique or algorithm paper introduces a novel technique or algorithm that has not previously appeared in the literature, or that significantly extends known techniques or algorithms. The technique or algorithm description provided in the paper should be complete enough that a competent graduate student in visualization could implement the work, and the authors should create a prototype implementation of the methods. This technique should ideally be of general application rather than be restricted to a single task or single source of data, and the exposition should be focused on what the technique does, how it does it, the tasks and data sets for which this new method is appropriate, and what the computational and other costs are. An evaluation is likely to strengthen the paper, in particular for large data. System A system paper describes a solution to a problem where the major task is building a large, complex software artifact, applying largely known visualization techniques. The system that is described is both novel and important, and has been implemented. Here, the focus should be on the design decisions, the implications for software/hardware structure, and comparison with other systems. The comparison includes specific discussion of how the described system differs from and is, in some significant respects, superior to those systems. Application & Design Study An application or design study paper explores the choices made when applying visualization techniques in an application area, for example, relating the visual encodings and interaction techniques to the requirements of the target task. These papers typically include an encapsulated description of a problem domain and the questions to be resolved by visualization, then describe the application of visualization to the task, any novel techniques developed, and how the visualization solution answered the questions posed. The results of the study, including insights generated in the application domain and visualization knowledge generated through the research process, should be clearly conveyed. The work will be judged by the design lessons learned or insights gleaned for visualization research - which may or may not include novel visualization techniques, algorithms, or systems - on which future contributors can build. We invite submissions on any application area dealing with large data. Empirical Study An empirical study paper explores the usage of visualization by people or provides a detailed analysis of the characteristics of a visualization approach, for example, its technical performance. This kind of paper presents a study, either qualitative or quantitative, of visualization techniques or systems. The research contribution will be judged on the validity and importance of the results, including, where appropriate, the definition of hypotheses, tasks, data sets, the rigorous collection and examination/analysis/coding of data, the selection of subjects and cases, as well as validation, discussion, and conclusions. State of the Practice State of the practice reports provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest related to large data analysis and visualization. State-of-the-art reports on cross-sectional, multi-disciplinary areas with a common theme of large data are highly welcomed. Position Statements A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue, accepted assumption, or technique relevant to large data analysis or visualization. This kind of paper takes an opinionated stance and justifies this stance with corroborating evidence. A position paper often takes evidence from previous publications and other existing information rather than conducting new studies. The paper is judged on the presentation of a convincing, evidence-based position and the importance of that position. Position papers that buck tradition by providing well-reasoned arguments for a stance that is counterintuitive or contrary to common knowledge are highly valued. Call for Posters Contact: ldav-posters(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:[email protected]> We invite you to submit unpublished work to the IEEE LDAV 2025 Poster Program.
