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 which is a natural outgrowth of the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows. The objectives of this workshop are as follows: * Understand data analytics workflows and the mix of graph and machine learning algorithms they require * Understand the synergies between evolving device technology and graph analytics applications to drive: 1) the direction of emerging hardware and software architecture, 2) new graph analytics algorithms that better exploit the emerging hardware; and 3) application workflows that mix the large graph synthesis and analytics and machine learning. * Explore different frameworks, languages and libraries to support programming graph analytics and machine learning algorithms * Evaluate the performance and scalability of integrated platforms for large graph synthesis and analysis, and machine learning While each of these topics on their own are well addressed in other workshops, we are particularly interested in the cross-cutting synergies. For example, hardware and software architectures specialized for machine learning (and in particular deep learning) may be poorly suited for graph algorithms. Can we understand these conflicting needs and perhaps find an architecture jointly optimized for both? This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. We are particularly interested in papers that: * Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning; * Discuss programming models and associated frameworks such as Pregel, Galois, Boost, GraphBLAS, 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 problem domains and problems addressable with graph methods, machine learning methods, or both; * Provide tractability performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows. Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. ----------------------------- Important Dates ----------------------------- Position or full paper submission: February 1, 2019 Notification: February 28, 2019 Camera-ready: March 15, 2019 Workshop: May 20, 2019 ----------------------------- Submissions ----------------------------- Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=grapl2019 Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) pages, single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references.

The use of global services in public clouds is increasing, and the lucrative and rapidly growing global cloud market already supports over 1 million IT-related jobs. However, it is currently challenging to make the IT services offered by public and private clouds performant (in an extended sense) and efficient. Emerging architectures, techniques, and real-world systems include hybrid deployment, serverless operation, everything as a service, complex workflows, auto-scaling and -tiering, etc. It is unclear to which extent traditional performance engineering, software engineering, and system design and analysis tools can help with understanding and engineering these emerging technologies. The community also needs practical tools and powerful methods to address hot topics in cloud computing performance. Responding to this need, the HotCloudPerf workshop proposes a meeting venue for academics and practitioners, from experts to trainees, in the field of cloud computing performance. The workshop aims to engage this community, and to lead to the development of new methodological aspects for gaining deeper understanding not only of cloud performance, but also of cloud operation and behavior, through diverse quantitative evaluation tools, including benchmarks, metrics, and workload generators. The workshop focuses on novel cloud properties such as elasticity, performance isolation, dependability, and other non-functional system properties, in addition to classical performance-related metrics such as response time, throughput, scalability, and efficiency. Each year, the workshop chooses a focus theme to explore; for 2019, the theme is ?Performance from the cloud datacenter to the edge.? Articles focusing on this topic are particularly encouraged for HotCloudPerf-2019. The HotCloudPerf workshop is technically sponsored by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC)?s Research Group (RG), and is organized annually by the RG Cloud Group. HotCloudPerf has emerged from the series of yearly meetings organized by the RG Cloud Group, since 2013. The RG Cloud Group group is taking a broad approach, relevant for both academia and industry, to cloud benchmarking, quantitative evaluation, and experimental analysis. WORKSHOP SCOPE AND TOPICS Topics of the focus-theme for 2019, ?Performance from the cloud datacenter to the edge?: 1. Serverless/Function-as-a-Service(FaaS) computing platforms and micro-services in cloud datacenters. 2. Understanding and engineering dependability and non-traditional performance requirements for cloud datacenters. 3. Studying performance variability in cloud datacenters and/or solutions for taming performance variability in clouds. 4. Running specialized services with performance guarantees, such as, Business Process as a Service, Data as a Service, business-critical workloads, etc. 5. Extending the cloud datacenter to support the non-functional requirements of converged workloads, including IoT, HPC, and big data services. 6. Experience reports and use-cases with understanding and engineering performance in the cloud datacenter. Long-running topics of the HotCloudPerf workshop include, but are not limited to: 1. Empirical performance studies in cloud computing environments, applications, and systems, including observation, measurement, and surveys. 2. Comparative performance studies and benchmarking of cloud environments, applications, and systems. 3. Performance analysis using modeling and queueing theory for cloud environments, applications, and systems. 4. Simulation-based studies for all aspects of cloud computing performance. 5. Tuning and auto-tuning of systems operating in cloud environments, e.g., auto-scaling of resources and auto-tiering of data, optimized resource deployment. 6. Software patterns and architectures for engineering cloud performance, e.g., serverless. 7. Experience with and analysis of performance of cloud deployment models, including IaaS/PaaS/SaaS/FaaS. 8. End-to-end performance engineering for pipelines and workflows in cloud environments, or of applications with non-trivial SLAs. 9. Tools for monitoring and studying cloud computing performance. 10. General and specific methods and methodologies for understanding and engineering cloud performance.

EDCC 2019 is the 15th European Dependable Computing Conference. It will be held in Napoli, Italy on September 17-20, 2019. EDCC is a unique forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their latest research results on theory, techniques, systems, and tools for the design, validation, operation and evaluation of dependable and secure computing systems. Traditionally, the main conference is preceded with two days of workshops. The purpose of workshops is to provide a forum for exchanging opinions, presenting ideas, and discussing preliminary results in an interactive atmosphere. Workshops are half-day or one-day events which are held before the main conference (September 17). If necessary, they can run in parallel with the main conference on Sep. 18 or 19. Workshop chairs are responsible for setting up an international technical program committee, independent of the one of the main conference. They may select a TPC chair(s) or chair the TPC themselves. Responsibilities of the workshop and TPC chairs include preparing and spreading a call for papers, attract high-quality submissions, set up the reviewing and selection process and assemble the workshop program. Workshops are expected to use their own website, which will be linked from the EDCC website. If a workshop wishes to have proceedings, workshop chairs will be responsible for the publication process with initial assistance from the EDCC organization committee. Note that it is by no means mandatory to have proceedings with a workshop, and organizers are free to favor other forms of communications, as long as the selection of presenters follows a competitive peer review process and that abstracts are available online prior to the event. *Proposal Submission* Proposals must not exceed three pages in PDF and must be sent to EDCC workshop chair Nuno Antunes (nmsa at dei.uc.pt). Proposals should have the following structure: - Title of the workshop; - A 150- to 200-word abstract, suitable for the conference website; - Themes and goals, and relevance to the EDCC community; - Information about the procedure for selecting papers and/or presentations, plans for dissemination and publication, and expected number of participants; - Preference for half/one/two-day format; - Information about previous editions of the same workshop, if any; - Organizers and a list of foreseen Program Committee members and their affiliations; - Names and briefbios of organizers, including their past experience in organizing workshops and/or conferences in the field. Other dates (paper submission deadline, notification, camera ready) will be discussed and decided as a consensus between workshop organizers and the EDCC organization committee, prior to any diffusion of a call for paper or communications. Selected workshops are expected to set up a website and issue these calls before the 15 of February 2019. *Evaluation Criteria* - Relevance to EDCC - Timeliness and expected interest in the topic - Organizers? ability to lead a successful workshop - Balance and synergy with other EDCC events *Workshop Chair* For any questions regarding workshops, please email the workshop chair: - Nuno Antunes, University of Coimbra, Portugal (nmsa at dei.uc.pt) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: https://hps.vi4io.org/events/2019/iodc == Workshop overview == Managing scientific data at large scale is challenging for scientists but also for the host data center. The storage and file systems deployed within a data center are expected to meet users' requirements for data integrity and high performance across heterogeneous and concurrently running applications. With new storage technologies and layers in the memory hierarchy, the picture is becoming murkier. To effectively manage the data load within a data center, I/O experts must understand how users expect to use these new storage technologies and what services they should provide in order to enhance user productivity. We seek to ensure a systems-level perspective is included in these discussions. In this workshop, we bring together I/O experts from data centers and application workflows to share current practices for scientific workflows, issues and obstacles for both hardware and the software stack, and R&D to overcome these issues. The workshop content is built on two tracks: 1) research paper track ? requesting submissions regarding state-of-the-practice and research about I/O in the datacenter. 2) talks from I/O experts ? you'll need to submit an abstract for your talk. Contributions to both tracks are peer-reviewed and require submission of the respective research paper or idea for your presentation via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpciodc2019 == Track: research papers == The proceedings of the research papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) series. The research track accepts papers covering state-of-the-practice and research dedicated to storage in the datacenter. We accept papers with up to 12 pages (excl. references) in LNCS format. For accepted papers, the length of the talk during the workshop depends on the controversiality and novelty of the approach (the length is decided based on the preference provided by the authors and feedback from the reviewers). We also allow virtual participation (without attending the workshop personally). All relevant work in the area of data center storage will be able to publish with our joint workshop proceedings, we just believe the available time should be used best to discuss controversial topics. === Topics === The relevant topics for papers cover all aspects of data center I/O including: * application workflows * user productivity and costs * performance monitoring * dealing with heterogeneous storage * data management aspects * archiving and long term data management * state-of-the practice (e.g., using or optimizing a storage system for data center workloads) * research that tackles data center I/O challenges === Paper Deadlines === * Submission deadline: 2019-04-19 AoE * Author notification: 2019-05-11 * Pre-final submission: 2019-06-10 (to be shared during the workshop) * Workshop: 2019-06-21 * Camera-ready papers: 2019-07-21 (preliminary date) == Track: Talks by I/O experts == The topics of interest in this track include but are not limited to: * A description of the operational aspects of your data center * A particular solution for certain data center workloads in production We also accept industry talks, given that they focus on operational issues and omit marketing. If you are interested to participate, please submit a short (1/2 page) abstract of your talk together with a (very) short Bio.

CALL FOR PAPERS 31st International Conference on Scientific & Statistical Database Management July 23-25, 2019, Santa Cruz, California, USA https://www.soe.ucsc.edu/ssdbm19 The SSDBM international conference brings together scientific domain experts, database researchers, practitioners, and developers for the presentation and exchange of current research results on concepts, tools, and techniques for scientific and statistical databases and applications. The 31st SSDBM provides a forum for original research contributions and practical system designs, implementations and evaluations. The program of the research track will be supplemented with invited talks and demonstrations. SSDBM 2019 will continue the tradition of past SSDBM meetings in providing a stimulating environment to encourage discussion and exchange of ideas on all aspects of research related to scientific and statistical data management. All accepted papers will be published by ACM ? International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS) and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. TOPICS OF INTEREST SSDBM 2019 will have a focus on high-performance data analysis tools and techniques for large data sets, with a special emphasis on genomics, astrophysics, and high-energy physics. The conference encourages authors to make their experimental results reproducible and include reproducibility experiences in their submissions . Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the following, as they relate to scientific and statistical data management: System architectures for scientific and statistical data management and analysis Querying of scientific data, including spatial, temporal, and streaming data Mining and analysis of large-scale datasets, especially on new and emerging hardware and environments: - Data flow management in high performance computing - Techniques for comparing simulation and experimental data - Cloud computing issues in large-scale data management - Provenance data management - Design, implementation, optimization, and reproducibility of scientific workflows - Integration and exchange of data, including the federation and management of institutional data repositories - Visualization and exploration of large datasets - Information retrieval and text mining - Knowledge discovery, clustering, graph analysis - Case studies, particularly those at scale-of-consequence for genomics, astrophysics, and high-energy physics - Stream data management, e.g., storage, organization, compression, indexing and querying - Stream data analysis, e.g., summarization, statistical analysis, pattern matching, pattern discovery, learning, and prediction - Modeling and representation of streaming data SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We solicit papers describing original work relevant to the management of scientific and statistical data and not published or under review elsewhere. SSDBM 2019 is single-blind reviewed. Therefore, authors must include their names and affiliations on the first page. SSDBM submissions can be research, reproducibility study, or demo papers: RESEARCH PAPERS (LONG and SHORT): We solicit both full papers (12 pages) and short papers (4 pages). The former tend to be descriptions of complete technical work, while the latter tend to be descriptions of interesting, innovative ideas, which nevertheless require more work to mature. The program committee may decide to accept some full papers as short papers. Full papers will be given a presentation slot in the conference, while short papers will be presented in the form of posters. All papers, regardless of size, will be given an entry in the conference proceedings. Authors may optionally include reproducibility information that allows for automated validation of experimental results (see artifact evaluation criteria). Accepted submissions passing automated validation will earn a prestigious ?Results Replicated? Badge in the ACM DL in accordance with ACM?s artifact review and badging policy. NEW! REPRODUCIBILITY STUDY PAPERS: We also call for reproducibility studies (12 pages) that for the first time reproduce experiments from papers previously published in SSDBM or in other peer-reviewed conferences with similar topics of interest (see reproducibility study instructions). Reproducibility study submissions are selected by the same peer-reviewed competitive process as regular research papers, except these submissions must pass automated validation of experimental results (see artifact evaluation criteria). Accepted submissions passing automated validation will earn the prestigious ACM ?Results Replicated? Badge and, if the work under study was successfully reproduced, the associated paper will earn the ACM ?Results Reproduced? Badge in the ACM DL in accordance with ACM?s artifact review and badging policy. DEMO PAPERS: We solicit demonstration proposals (4 pages) which should provide the motivation for the demonstrated concepts, the information about the technology and the system to be demonstrated (including a system description, functionality and figures when applicable), and should state the significance of the contribution. Selection criteria for the demonstration proposals evaluation include: the novelty, the technical advances and challenges, and the overall practical attractiveness of the demonstrated system. Demo papers will also be given an entry in the conference proceedings. The submission website is https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssdbm19.

Compared with cloud computing, edge computing has many advantages: 1) Services can be done without network access. 2) Users can choose not to upload private data in exchange of cloud services. 3) Real-time service with extremely low latency is possible without the overhead of moving data to the cloud. However, the restricted resources (e.g., computation, DRAM space, and battery) of edge devices bring many new challenges to edge computing as well. IEEE Edgecom 2019 provides a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to present innovative research and best practices in edge computing, discuss the opportunities and challenges that arise from rethinking cloud computing architectures and embracing edge computing. TOPIC IEEE Edgecom 2019 welcomes contributions from diverse perspectives of edge computing, which include (but are not limited to) the following topics: - Edge computing in IoT - Security and fault tolerance for embedded or ubiquitous systems - Privacy protection in edge computing - Software/Algorithm optimization for edge computing - Cyber security in mobile embedded systems - Edge computing infrastructure - Workload characterization and analysis of applications running on edge devices - Digital forensics and privacy issues in cloud computing - Cyber monitoring approaches - Case studies of real-world edge computing applications - Monitoring and diagnosis tools for edge computing - Social engineering, insider threats, advance spear phishing - On-device artificial intelligence - Heterogeneous clouds and vulnerabilities - Secure methods for heterogeneous cloud resource sharing - Architecture support for edge computing - Cloud-based audio/video streaming techniques - Energy efficient edge computing - Case studies for cyber security applications - Cloud-based real-time multimedia techniques - New attack methods and applications - Green cloud computing - Quality of Service (QoS) improvements techniques - Edge-Cloud coordinated computing - Cloud-based sensor network and security issues PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeedgecom2019).

Therefore, there is a grand challenge that traditional computing techniques may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, mobile, wireless, and distributed computing environments. As a result, we need to build embedded systems and networks based on ubiquitous computing. As important and innovative technologies, embedded and ubiquitous computing techniques are attracting researchers with more and more attention. Embedded ubiquitous computing is promising to improve people?s quality of life by creating new applications based on data processing in IoT network. Many research efforts have been performed on novel processing and communication architectures, technologies and management strategies. Embedded ubiquitous computing systems can leverage wireless sensor networks to collect and process data and use cloud technologies, peer-to-peer systems, and big data paradigms to provide computing and analytics capabilities. Nowadays, because of the growth of smart devices, embedded ubiquitous computing technologies and combined with cyber world to provide many smart services, the Internet of Things (IoT) became more promising to realize that various embedded applications allow users to enjoy more comprehensive services. As an emerging research topic, embedded ubiquitous computing relate to and support a computing vision for a greater range including smart devices (mobile, wireless, service), smart environments (of embedded system devices) and smart interaction (between devices). The EUC conference aims, as such, to provide a platform for the dissemination of recent research efforts that explicitly aim at addressing these challenges, and supports the presentation of advanced solutions in these areas. TOPIC Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - Data analysis and data management for embedded and ubiquitous computing - Applications for embedded and ubiquitous computing - Parallel and distributed systems - Mobile systems and applications for embedded and ubiquitous computing - Enhanced living environments and smart habitats for older adults - Security, safety and reliability/dependability - Hardware architectures and design tools - Software and programming tools for embedded and ubiquitous computing PAPER SUBMISSION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeeeuc2019).

Additionally, emerging application classes, such as AI and in situ analytics, require extremely efficient access to relevant data in order to glean rapid insights as the data is being produced. Applications now try to use faster, but smaller tiers for performance, but must address capacity issues by migrating or evicting data. Hierarchical storage management (HSM) has traditionally addressed these needs, but with some of the tiers having a byte-addressable interface, rather than a file system (POSIX) interface, HSM is no longer sufficient. This workshop solicits novel work that explores issues related to managing data as it moves across the memory/storage hierarchy from on package high bandwidth memory, node local NVMe, remote fast memory/storage devices, centralized scratch space, data lakes, and long term archiving solutions. Requested papers will address storing, streaming, accessing, migrating, quality of service, consistency models, searching, and other concerns. This workshop contributes by exploring the various techniques for data management and movement as well as hardware management and access techniques such as quality of service and API/interfaces for supporting such operations. Topics of interest include: ? System software/OS features to enable data management operations ? Out of core computation data management techniques ? Tools and techniques to accelerate data searching and selection ? Ensemble run data management techniques and challenges ? In Situ analytics data support ? Data management for large scale streaming applications ? Use of staging areas, such as other nodes, burst buffers or other private or shared acceleration tiers, or even centralized scratch space for managing intermediate data between computation tasks ? Supporting data loading and migration for Big Data or AI workflow systems like Spark, Hadoop, and Tensorflow ? State of the practice papers on the above topics Papers must be unpublished work in the ACM format no longer than 5 pages (not including references). All accepted papers will be including in the HPDC Workshop Proceedings.

Once again, we are also accepting submissions to the 10 compute I/O challenge to encourage submission of small scale results. The new ranked lists will be announced at our ISC19 BoF [2]. We hope to see you, and your results, there. Finally, we are soliciting talks for our BoF about experiences with the IO500 benchmarks or related topics. The benchmark suite is designed to be easy to run and the community has multiple active support channels to help with any questions. Please submit and we look forward to seeing many of you at ISC 2019! Please note that submissions of all size are welcome; the site has customizable sorting so it is possible to submit on a small system and still get a very good per-client score for example. Additionally, the list is about much more than just the raw rank; all submissions help the community by collecting and publishing a wider corpus of data. More details below. Following the success of the Top500 in collecting and analyzing historical trends in supercomputer technology and evolution, the http://io500.org was created in 2017, published its first list at SC17, and has grown exponentially since then. The need for such an initiative has long been known within High-Performance Computing; however, defining appropriate benchmarks had long been challenging. Despite this challenge, the community, after long and spirited discussion, finally reached consensus on a suite of benchmarks and a metric for resolving the scores into a single ranking. The multi-fold goals of the benchmark suite are as follows: 1. Maximizing simplicity in running the benchmark suite, 2. Encouraging complexity in tuning for performance, 3. Allowing submitters to highlight their ?hero run? performance numbers, 4. Forcing submitters to simultaneously report performance for challenging IO patterns. Specifically, the benchmark suite includes a hero-run of both IOR and mdtest configured however possible to maximize performance and establish an upper-bound for performance. It also includes an IOR and mdtest run with highly prescribed parameters in an attempt to determine a lower-bound. Finally, it includes a namespace search as this has been determined to be a highly sought-after feature in HPC storage systems that has historically not been well-measured. Submitters are encouraged to share their tuning insights for publication. The goals of the community are also multi-fold: 1. Gather historical data for the sake of analysis and to aid predictions of storage futures 2. Collect tuning information to share valuable performance optimizations across the community 3. Encourage vendors and designers to optimize for workloads beyond ?hero runs? 4. Establish bounded expectations for users, procurers, and administrators 10 Node Challenge At ISC, we will announce our second IO-500 award for the 10 Node Challenge. This challenge is conducted using the regular IO-500 benchmark, however, with the rule that exactly 10 computes nodes must be used to run the benchmark (one exception is find, which may use 1 node). You may use any shared storage with, e.g., any number of servers. When submitting for the IO-500 list, you can opt-in for ?Participate in the 10 compute node challenge only?, then we won't include the results into the ranked list. Other 10 compute node submission will be included in the full list and in the ranked list. We will announce the result in a separate derived list and in the full list but not on the ranked IO-500 list at io500.org. Birds-of-a-feather Once again, we encourage you to submit [1], to join our community, and to attend our BoF ?The IO-500 and the Virtual Institute of I/O? at ISC 2019 [2] where we will announce the fourth IO500 list and second 10 node challenge list. The current list includes results from BeeGPFS, DataWarp, IME, Lustre, Spectrum Scale, and WekaIO. We hope that the next list has even more. Please email talk proposals to io-500-board at vi4io.org. We look forward to answering any questions or concerns you might have.

Highlights of the conference will include a high quality single-track technical program, invited speakers, an industrial track, panel discussions involving academic and industry leaders, poster and demonstration presentations, a doctoral symposium, tutorials and workshops. Original submissions of research papers on a diversity of topics are sought, particularly those identifying new research directions. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: * Cloud and data centers * Virtualization, auto-scaling, provisioning, and scheduling * Data-intensive computing (big data) and data analytics * Stream Processing * Machine learning * Mobile and pervasive systems and services * Internet-of-Things, smart cities * Fog, Edge computing * Cyber-physical and Real-time systems * Energy and power-aware techniques * Event-based, publish/subscribe, and peer-to-peer solutions * Networking, network function virtualization, software-defined networking * Multimedia Systems * Fault tolerance and Consistency * Blockchains * Security and privacy * Monitoring, resource management and analysis * Middleware Design principles * Programming abstractions and paradigms for middleware * Reconfigurable, adaptable, and reflective approaches * Reviews of middleware paradigms, e.g., object models, aspect orientation, etc. * Methodologies and tools for design, implementation, verification, and evaluation Original papers of three types are sought: * Research Papers: These papers report original research on the above topics, and will be evaluated on significance of the problem, novelty of the solution, advancement beyond prior work, sufficient supporting evidence and clarity of the presentation. * Experimentation and Deployment Papers: These papers describe complete systems, platforms, and/or comprehensive experimental evaluations of alternative designs and solutions to well-known problems. The emphasis during the evaluation of these papers will be less on the novelty and more on the demonstrated usefulness and potential impact of the contributions, the extensive experimentation involved, and the quality and weight of the lessons learned. * Big Ideas Papers: These are papers that have the potential for opening up new research directions. For such papers, the potential to motivate new research is more important than full experimental evaluation, though some preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the approach or idea is important. Submission Guidelines Submitted papers must have at most 12 pages of technical content, including text, figures, and appendices, but excluding any number of additional pages for bibliographic references. Note that submissions must be double-blind: authors? names must not appear, and authors must make a good faith attempt to anonymize their submissions. Submitted papers must adhere to the formatting instructions of the ACM SIGPLAN style, which can found on the ACM template page. Please note that it is preferable, although not mandatory, to use a 10pt font instead of 9pt one. The Middleware 2019 conference proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

Relevant work can be found in different areas, including autonomic computing, self-adaptive and self-organizing software and systems, machine learning, artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems, organic computing, context- and situation-aware systems, reflective computing, model-predictive control, as well as work from the models at run-time community. More specifically, self-aware computing systems are understood as having two main properties. They (1) learn models, capturing knowledge about themselves and their environment (such as their structure, design, state, possible actions, and runtime behavior) on an ongoing basis; and (2) reason using the models (to predict, analyze, consider, or plan), which enables them to act based on their knowledge and reasoning (for example, to explore, explain, report, suggest, self-adapt, or impact their environment). They do so in accordance with high-level goals, which can change. This Special Issue addresses all facets of research in the area of self-aware computing systems, including fundamental science and theory, levels and aspects, architectures for individual and collective systems, methods and algorithms for model learning, self-adaptation in individual and collective systems, transition strategies for increasing self-awareness in existing systems, open challenges and future research directions, as well as applications and case studies. In this Special Issue, particular emphasis will be given to the evaluation of these systems, including objectives, metrics, tools, procedure, methodologies, reference systems, and benchmarks. Selected papers presented at the Workshop on Self-Aware Computing (SeAC) as well as the Workshop on Evaluations and Measurements in Self-Aware Computing Systems (EMSAC) are invited to submit their extended versions to this Special Issue of the journal Computers. All submitted papers will undergo our standard peer-review procedure. Accepted papers will be published in open access format in Computers and collected together on the Special Issue website. Conference papers should be cited and noted on the first page of the paper; authors are asked to disclose that it is a conference paper in their cover letter and include a statement on what has been changed compared to the original conference paper. Please note that the submitted extended paper should contain at least 50% new content (e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases) and not exceed 30% copy/paste from the conference paper.

Erik Riedel , Founder and Principal Consultant at Works Together LLC. ------------------------------ *Overview* Since the first hard disk drive (HDD) was introduced in 1956, storage devices have remained ?dumb? for more than 60 years. However, ever growing demand for big data processing and recent advances in storage technology are reshaping the traditional CPU-centric computing paradigm. Many studies show that the energy consumed by data movement is starting to exceed the energy consumed by computation. In particular, the advent of high-performance solid-state drives (SSDs) based on non-volatile memory (e.g., NAND flash memory, 3D XPoint, etc.) opens up new opportunities for storage-centric computing paradigm. In response to these trends, the SNIA (Storage Networking Industry Association) has recently formed a Technical Work Group on *computational storage*. Computational storage is defined as any storage architecture that integrates computational features with the normal storage features in various forms to enhance performance, scalability, and energy efficiency. Samsung?s KVSSD (Key-Value SSD), a new type of SSD that offloads indexing and space management to the storage device by adopting a key-value interface, could be a first step toward computational storage. The goal of this special issue of the *ACM Transactions on Storage* is to foster research and development in computational storage. This special issue welcomes contributions that showcase new storage architectures for computational storage and software ecosystems surrounding computational storage, as well as case studies with real data-intensive applications. We invite academic researchers and industry professionals from a broad range of disciplines to submit to this special issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ? New enriched interface for computational storage ? Computational storage architecture based on Key-Value SSDs (KVSSDs) ? Computational storage architecture based on SSDs with hardware accelerators ? Host software stack for computational storage ? Application case studies with computational storage ? Performance modeling and development tools for computational storage *Submission Guidelines* Manuscripts submitted to the special issue should contain original material not published in nor submitted to other journals. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three expert reviewers. Papers which do not meet publication quality standards, or do not pass the editorial assessment of suitability of this special issue will be rejected before the review process. Full papers should be submitted through the ACM Manuscript Central at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tos , select paper type "SI: Computational Storage". Details of the author guidelines for ACM Transactions on Storage are available at https://tos.acm.org/authors.cfm. *Important Dates* Open for submissions: August 15, 2019 Full paper submission deadline: January 15, 2020 Review decision notification: May 15, 2020 Final manuscript deadline: June 1, 2020 Publication target date: 2020 August Issue ------------------------------ * Association for Computing Machinery, Two Penn Plaza, Suite 701, New York, NY 10121-0701, USA Copyright 2019, ACM, Inc.* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While inherently parallel, they exhibit highly variable execution performance at a local level due to unpredictable memory access patterns and/or network transfers, divergent control structures, and data imbalances. Moreover, they often require fine-grain synchronization and communication on large-data structures such as graphs, trees, unstructured grids, sparse matrices, deep nets, tables, and their combinations (such as, for example, attributed graphs). They have a significant degree of latent parallelism, which however is difficult to exploit due to their complex behavior. Current high performance architectures rely on data locality and regular computation to reduce access latencies, and often do not cope well with the requirements of these applications. Furthermore, irregular applications are difficult to scale on current supercomputing machines, due to their limits in fine-grained synchronization and small data transfers. Irregular applications pertain both to well established and emerging fields, such as machine learning, social network analysis, bioinformatics, semantic graph databases, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and computer security. Many of these application areas also process massive sets of unstructured data, which keep growing exponentially. Emerging supercomputing applications are moving towards a convergence of scientific simulation, data analytics, and learning algorithms, mixed in various ways. Addressing the issues of irregular applications on current and future architectures will become critical to solve the challenges in science and data analysis of the next few years. This workshop seeks to explore solutions for supporting efficient execution of irregular applications in the form of new features at the level of the micro- and system-architecture, network, languages and libraries, runtimes, compilers, analysis, algorithms. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to: - Micro- and System-architectures, including multi- and many-core designs, heterogeneous processors, accelerators (GPUs, vector processors, Automata processor), reconfigurable (coarse grained reconfigurable and FPGA designs) and custom processors - Network architectures and interconnect (including high-radix networks, optical interconnects) - Novel memory architectures and designs (including processors-in memory) - Impact of new computing paradigms on irregular workloads (including neuromorphic processors and quantum computing) - Modeling, simulation and evaluation of novel architectures with irregular workloads - Innovative algorithmic techniques - Combinatorial algorithms (graph algorithms, sparse linear algebra, etc.) - Impact of irregularity on machine learning approaches - Parallelization techniques and data structures for irregular workloads - Data structures combining regular and irregular computations (e.g., attributed graphs) - Approaches for managing massive unstructured datasets (including streaming data) - Languages and programming models for irregular workloads - Library and runtime support for irregular workloads - Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads - High performance data analytics applications (including graph databases and solutions that combine graph algorithms with machine learning) - Applications that integrate scientific simulation, data analytics, and learning, and require efficient execution of irregular workloads Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. We solicit both 8-page regular papers and 4-page position papers. Authors of exciting but not mature enough regular papers may be offered the option of a short 4-page paper and related short presentation. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Abstract Submission: August 28, 2019 Position or Regular Paper Submission: September 4, 2019 Notification: October 1, 2019 Camera-ready: October 10, 2019 Workshop: November 18, 2019 -------------------- Submissions -------------------- Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org Submitted manuscripts may not exceed eight (8) pages in length for regular papers and four (4) pages for position papers including figures, tables and references.

The templates are available at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library through IEEE TCHPC. -------------------- Artifact Description & Evaluation -------------------- This edition of the workshop invites authors of regular papers to follow a reproducibility initiative like the main SC Conference, with specific appendices for the Artifact Description (AD) and the Artifact Evaluation (AE). Please refer to the SC reproducibility page for further details on the rationale behind AD and AE: https://sc19.supercomputing.org/submit/reproducibility-initiative/. Authors of regular papers will be able to use up to one (1) additional page to provide an Artifact Description (AD) Appendix, describing the details of their software environments and computational experiments to the extent that an independent person could replicate their results. This additional page is voluntary, and must focus only on details on software environments and methods to execute the experiments. It should not add details on the proposed technical approaches. If a paper has no computational results, the appendix only needs to mention that computational results are not part of the paper. Additionally, authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation (AE) process. The process is voluntary, but authors that will participate in the AE will be eligible for the Best Paper Award of the workshop. Supporting materials for the AE include access to the actual software artifact, shared publicly (for example, through the CK - Collective Knowledge - https://github.com/ctuning/ck format), and two (2) further additional pages of the paper that details how to reproduce the results of the paper. For details on how to submit supporting materials to the AE process, please refer to: http://ctuning.org/ae/submission.html. Authors participating in the AE will receive an assessment of the artifact, and the related badge on their paper.

Today?s systems are complex, rely increasingly on dynamic architectures, and raise continuously important challenges related to end-to-end performance management. This applies equally to emerging domains, such as cyber-physical systems, and the Internet of Things, big data and machine learning environments, cloud/edge/fog infrastructures, and social networks, and also to traditional domains, such as web-based, data centers, mobile and wireless systems, and real-time systems. ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering of software and systems, including but not limited to performance modeling, analysis, measurement, benchmark design, and run-time performance management. The focus is both on classical metrics such as response time, throughput, resource utilization, and (energy) efficiency, and on the relationship of such metrics to other system properties including but not limited to scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability, cost, sustainability, security, and privacy. This year?s main theme is ?Performance Engineering under Uncertainty?. Modern systems are subject to multiple sources of uncertainty due to openness, heterogeneity, versatility, and variability. The complexity of managing performance-related concerns under uncertainty is starting to overwhelm even the capabilities of large engineering teams. We are looking for contributions that use techniques to enhance the performance modeling, estimation, and optimization of complex systems while considering their intrinsic uncertainties. At the same time, we are looking for all the contributions that improve the state-of-the-art while analyzing the performance uncertainty of software systems.

In cooperation with IEEE TCHPC. https://www.urgenthpc.com ======================================================================== Paper submission deadline: August 14, 2019 (AoE) Author notification: September 10, 2019 Camera ready deadline: September 30, 2019 Scope ===== Responding to disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, extreme flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, winter weather conditions, and accidents; technological advances are creating exciting new opportunities that have the potential to move HPC well beyond traditional computational workloads. Whilst HPC has a long history of simulating disasters, what?s missing to support emergency, urgent, decision making is fast, real-time acquisition of data and the ability to guarantee time constraints. Our ability to capture data continues to grow very significantly, and combining high velocity data and live analytics with HPC models can aid in urgently responding to real-world problems, ultimately saving lives and reducing economic loss. It's not just responding to disasters, but also making urgent decisions addressing more general issues such as human health emergencies and global diseases. The challenges here are significant, but if HPC can be proven as a tool in responding to these real-world issues, the impact for our community is huge. Leveraging HPC for urgent decision making requires expertise in a wide range of areas, from dealing with real-time data, to experience in generating results within a specific time frame (real-time constraints), and generating visualizations enabling front-line decision makers to make correct choices first time, every time. It isn't just technical challenges, but also policy issues that also need to be considered such as utilizing our HPC machines in a more interactive manner to enable the urgent exploration of numerous disaster responses. This workshop will bring together stakeholders, researchers and practitioners from across the HPC community to identify and tackle issues involved in using HPC for urgent decision making. Success stories, case-studies and challenges will be shared, with the goal of further building up a community around leveraging HPC as an important tool in urgently responding to disasters and societal challenges. Call for Papers ============ We invite you to submit both full and hot-topic research papers detailing original work in the area of using HPC for making urgent decisions. Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to): * Example use-cases and case-studies that use HPC for urgent decision making * Techniques for integrating HPC workflows with real-time data * 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 * The use of data formats and conversion techniques to support the handling of data from numerous and diverse sources * 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 * Data analysis techniques for making urgent decisions in response to disasters Paper Submission Guidelines ====================== * Papers should be submitted electronically via the SC19 Submission Page (https://submissions.supercomputing.org). * All papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers published via IEEE TCHPC * Papers will be published via IEEE TCHPC and as such they must follow the IEEE formatting, templates available athttp://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html * Full paper submissions are limited to 10 pages and hot-topic submissions 4 pages.

This year, the conference will feature nine high-quality affiliated workshops in different subject areas related to middleware technology. ----------- MISE 2019: 1st International Workshop on Middleware for Lightweight, Spontaneous Environments Submission Deadline: September 6, 2019 In recent years, there has been a significant interest in middleware systems that leverage the cloud for interconnectivity. While these efforts were preceded by years of work on middleware for wireless sensor networks, ubiquitous and pervasive computing domains, and mobile environments, there has been nearly a decade of quiescence. Common commercial middleware approaches that support interaction in the Internet of Things have focused almost exclusively on cloud-centered organization, in which ?things? are ?dumb? and simply provide data from sensors and allow scripted control actions. Interpretation of data and the subsequent decision making are largely performed in centralized infrastructures or sometimes at the ?edge? in highly capable infrastructure devices. The aim of this workshop is to provide an outlet for a reexamination of the natural next step: systems that allow resource constrained, embedded, and potentially mobile devices to coordinate directly to share sensed data, come to joint collaborative control decisions, and to? act on those decisions, all without the requirement of a centralized controller. The workshop solicits novel research contributions in middleware designs, architectures, interaction models, and algorithms for these more opportunistic and unpredictable operating environments. In particular, contributions to the workshop are expected to address middleware concerns in a domain or application in a way that does not rely on persistent use of a cloud-based service. The workshop also welcomes vision and position papers on the future of such cloud-free middleware and their potential to exist synergistically with cloud-based approaches. Organizers:????

IoT Cloud integration can enable ubiquitous cyber-physical services and powerful processing of IoT data beyond the capability of individual things. This has been recently extended from the core of the network to the edge of the network (i.e., Fog Computing) to address better mobility support, location awareness and low latency. Therefore, IoT applications will be further distributed throughout the network, including routers and dedicated computing nodes. With this new trend in sight, developing applications using cloud and fog computing resources introduces many challenges with respect to programming, networking, and service abstraction and distribution. In particular, in large-scale IoT applications with massive number of services, the way to model, develop and distributed services at device-, fog-, and cloud-levels is a top priority design challenge in this area.? This workshop aims to bring together experts from academia and industry that are working in distributed computing aspects of fog platforms, including middleware-related design concerns. The goal is to present and explore novel approaches and recent results of the research community and the industry bodies, and debate on and discuss priorities and challenges in the research agenda.

In essence, these technologies promise to crosscut and change a large variety of digital interactions. At the same time, the underlying infrastructures supporting these technologies are rapidly being developed and deployed, and their resilience and scalability is key for success. The already 3rd SERIAL workshop, once again colocated with the Middleware conference, continues the successful series of scientific forums addressing the above themes. It aims to investigate system support to foster resilience and scalability of decentralized infrastructures such as distributed ledger ecosystems, but also addresses resilience support for more traditional Internet-based services.

As a consequence, a complex ecosystem of interconnected applications, services, and physical and virtual devices, characterized by a high degree of heterogeneity, emerges. Such a heterogeneity can be addressed by middleware platforms to abstract away the specificities of these devices, promote interoperability among them, and leverage the development of services and applications. In this ecosystem, enabled by middleware, devices share contextual data or receive control commands; services consume, process, and/or provide data; and applications leverage services and devices to fulfill users? needs. This workshop focuses on two fundamental components in such ecosystems, namely (i) the middleware to compose applications, services, and devices and (ii) the applications built on top of such middleware. Central topics of interest include the architecture of these components, how they process data, how they communicate with each other, and the process of how they are designed, implemented, and operated.

Watson Research Center, USA Workshop website: http://www.m4iot.org/ ----------- DIDL: Workshop on Distributed Infrastructures for Deep Learning *DEADLINE EXTENDED: September 6, 2019* Deep learning is a rapidly growing field of machine learning, and has proven successful in many domains, including computer vision, language translation, and speech recognition. The training of deep neural networks is resource intensive, requiring compute accelerators such as GPUs, as well as large amounts of storage and memory, and network bandwidth. Additionally, getting the training data ready requires a lot of tooling for data cleansing, data merging, ambiguity resolution, etc. Sophisticated middleware abstractions are needed to schedule resources, manage the distributed training job as well as visualize how well the training is progressing. Likewise, serving the large neural network models with low latency constraints can require middleware to manage model caching, selection, and refinement. All the major cloud providers, including Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have started to offer cloud services in the last year or so with services to train and/or serve deep neural network models. In addition, there is a lot of activity in open source middleware for deep learning, including Tensorflow, Theano, Caffe2, PyTorch, and MXNet. There are also efforts to extend existing platforms such as Spark for deep learning workloads. This workshop focuses on the tools, frameworks, and algorithms to support executing deep learning algorithms in a distributed environment. As new hardware and accelerators become available, the middleware and systems need to be able to exploit their capabilities and ensure they are utilized efficiently. Organizers:????

However, it is challenging to provide such applications using cloud resources when there is limited connectivity. Harvesting the resources present on nearby mobile devices and/or cloudlets is a viable solution to this problem. Today, there is also increasing demand for middleware that offers higher level abstractions without hampering expressiveness and performance. However, many distributed systems today are designed for the datacenter, and their assumptions, such as that nodes use fast wired interconnects, no longer hold in edge environments.? In particular, edge clouds, such as those made up of only mobile devices at the edge, use unreliable wireless links. These unreliable links directly translate into unavailability and churn. Simultaneously, since mobile devices have limited energy resources, heavyweight distributed algorithms, such as coordination using a leader-based consensus protocol, are impractical. The Middleware for Edge Clouds & Cloudlets (MECC) workshop aims to address the increasing need for closer integration between the different tiers on modern cloud computing platforms. Organizers:????

In the recent years, container-based virtualization for applications has gained immense popularity thanks to the success of technologies like Docker. Container management is one of the key challenges of adopting this technology. As a result, management middleware like Kubernetes, Mesos, etc., are witnessing widespread adoption in the industry today. While Containers as a technology have reached an acceptable level of maturity, we see today that most of the challenges hindering the full scale adoption of this technology lies in the limitation of the existing middleware managing containerized workloads. Problems around scalability, security, high-availability, disaster recovery, and compliance are still active research areas that require innovative solutions. The aim of this workshop is to shed the light on the main challenges and solutions of running containerized workloads in clustered environments. Organizers:???? Ali Kanso, IBM T. J.

Watson Research Center, USA Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/containers19/home ----------- ARM 2019: 18th Workshop on Adaptive and Reflexive Middleware *DEADLINE EXTENDED: September 13, 2019* The Adaptive and Reflective Middleware (ARM) workshop series started together with the ACM/IFIP/USENIX International Middleware Conference, with which it has been co-located every year since this first edition. ARM aims at providing researchers with a leading edge view on the state of the art in reflective and adaptive middleware, and on the challenging problems that remain unsolved. Past editions of the workshop have brought together experts involved in designing. and reusing adaptive systems at different system layers, including. architectural, OS, virtualization technology, and network layers, as well as in using techniques that. are complementary to reflection. The workshop series also seek to provide an exciting environment in which to leverage cooperation among researchers. Organizers:???? Paul Grace, Aston University, UK Mohan Kumar, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA Marco Netto, IBM Research, Brazil Workshop website: https://arm2019.github.io/ ----------- WoSC: 5th Workshop on Serverless Computing *DEADLINE EXTENDED: September 15, 2019* Over the last four to five years, Serverless Computing (Serverless) has gained an enthusiastic following in industry as a compelling paradigm for the deployment of cloud applications, and is enabled by the recent shift of enterprise application architectures to containers and micro-services. Many of the major cloud vendors, have released serverless platforms, including Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure Functions, IBM Cloud Functions. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss their experiences and thoughts on future directions of serverless research. Serverless architectures offer different tradeoffs in terms of control, cost, and flexibility compared to distributed applications built on an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) substrate. For example, a serverless architecture requires developers to more carefully consider the resources used by their code (time to execute, memory used, etc.) when modularizing their applications. This is in contrast to concerns around latency, scalability, and elasticity, which is where significant development effort has traditionally been spent when building cloud services. In addition, tools and techniques to monitor and debug applications aren't applicable in serverless architectures, and new approaches are needed. As well, test and development pipelines may need to be adapted. Another decision that developers face are the appropriateness of the serverless ecosystem to their application requirements. A rich ecosystem of services built into the platform is typically easier to compose and would offer better performance. However, composing external services may be unavoidable, and in such cases, many of the benefits of serverless disappear, including performance and availability guarantees. This presents an important research challenge, and it is not clear how existing results and best practices, such as workflow composition research, can be applied to composition in a serverless environment.

Conference co-chairs: Katryn Mohror & Marc Snir Program co-chairs: Gabriel Antoniu & Tony Cortes The recent years are seeing an accelerated evolution of high-end storage systems, libraries and services, due to several reasons: Technology: The availability of an increasing number of persistent solid-state storage technologies that can replace either memory or disk are creating new opportunities for the structure of storage systems. Performance Requirements: Disk-based parallel file systems cannot satisfy the performance needs of high-end systems. It is not clear how solid-state storage is best used to alleviate the problem. Application Evolution: Data analysis, including graph analytics and machine learning training are becoming increasingly important high-end applications. I/O is often a major bottleneck for such application, both in a cloud environment and in an HPC environment ? especially when fast turnaround or integration of heavy computation with heavy analysis are required. Virtualization and disaggregation: As virtualization and disaggregation become broadly used in cloud and HPC computing, the issues of virtualized storage and storage disaggregation have an increasing importance. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and developers working on high-end storage systems, libraries and applications in HPC and clusters, and users of such systems that are interested in these issues. Call for Papers HPS 20120 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but not limited to: High-end storage systems Parallel and distributed high-end storage organizations Synergy between different storage models (POSIX file system, object storage, key-value, row-oriented and column-oriented databases) Structures and interfaces for leveraging persistent solid-state storage High-performing I/O libraries and services I/O performance in high-end systems and applications Benchmarks and performance tools for high-end I/O Language and library support for data-centric computing Storage virtualization and disaggregation Active processing in storage technologies. Ephemeral storage media and consistency optimizations Study cases of I/O services in support of various application domains (bioinformatics, scientific simulations, large observatories and experimental facilities, etc.) Papers should present original research and provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. Submission Info The workshop will accept traditional research papers (8-10 pages) for in-depth topics and short papers (4-8 pages) for works in progress on hot topics. Important Dates Abstract submission (optional) deadline : January 15th, 2020 Paper submission deadline : January 31st, 2020 Acceptance notification: February 28th, 2020 Camera-Ready deadline : March 20th, 2020 Workshop : May 22th, 2019 For additional details, see web: www.hpsworkshop.org Marc Snir email: chair at hpsworkshop.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
