While machine reasoning will enable intelligent systems to better understand and interact with their physical world, machine intelligence through modeling, simulation and automation, closes the gap between experiments, extreme computing, and scientific discovery. In order to usher in this new era of autonomous science, advances in several areas of artificial intelligence and other disciplines e.g., high-performance computing, data engineering need to come together. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds to enable extreme scaling of AI for science. This workshop will address the overarching goal of enabling semi-autonomous and autonomous AI-driven predictive and prescriptive scientific discovery at scale by integrating extreme-scale heterogeneous and reconfigurable computing paradigms, multiscale mathematics, physics-based simulation, data sciences and engineering to address challenges across science, scientific instruments, and security domains e.g., biology, chemistry, and material science. Specific areas of interest include: * Algorithms: Advance extreme-scale Artificial Intelligence through algorithmic development in the areas of probabilistic reasoning, multimodal representation learning, natural language processing, robotics, decision making, combinatorial optimization and human-machine interaction. * Implementation and deployment: Enable scalable Artificial Intelligence through advances in distributed and parallel AI algorithms and tools, heterogeneous and reconfigurable computing platforms and paradigms, Exascale systems, and compilers and system software for extreme-scale AI/ML algorithms. * Applications: Discuss application use cases in science domains of importance including computational biology, molecular chemistry, material science, epidemiology, energy and physics. The workshop seeks short and long papers spanning all areas of scaling AI for science, engineering and security domains including but not limited to: * Parallel and distributed algorithms for machine learning, machine reasoning, and machine intelligence at scale. Specific examples include: probabilistic reasoning, data analytics, knowledge representation learning, multi-modal analysis, natural language processing, robotics, decision making, combinatorial optimization and human-machine interaction * Software tools, compilers and system software to enable AI for machine perception and reasoning at scale. Specific examples include PyTorch (and Glow), TensorFlow (and XLA), CNTK, TVM, and the MLIR framework. * Application case studies in all areas of science and engineering such as biology, chemistry, material science, high energy physics, and climate security.

Many real-world analytic workloads combine graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop?s scope is broad and encompasses the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows. This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. In particular, we are interested, but not limited to the following topics: * Provide tractability and performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows; * Investigate novel solutions for accelerating graph learning-based methods using methodologies such as graph neural networks and knowledge graphs; * Discuss graph programming models and associated frameworks such as GraphBLAS, Galois, Pregel, the Boost Graph Library, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs; * Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms; * Discuss the convergence of graph analytics, frameworks, and graph databases; * Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning; * Discuss the problem domains and applications of graph methods, machine learning methods, or both. Besides regular papers, short papers (up to four pages) describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.

January 2023 (23:59 AoE) ================================================================== WORKSHOP SCOPE AND TOPIC Recent general adoption of machine learning has motivated migration of HPC workloads to cloud data centers, and there is a growing interest by the community on performance evaluation in this area, especially for end-to-end workflows. In addition to traditional performance benchmarking and high performance system evaluation (including absolute performance, energy efficiency), as well as configuration optimizations, this workshop will discuss issues that are of particular importance in commercial HPC. Benchmarking has typically involved running specific workloads that are reflective of typical HPC workloads, yet with growing diversity of workloads, theoretical performance modeling is also of interest to allow for performance prediction given a minimal set of measurements. We invite novel, unpublished research paper submission within the scope of this workshop. Paper submission topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Multi-, many-core CPUs, GPUs, hybrid system evaluation * Performance, power, efficiency, and cost analysis * HPC, data center, and cloud workloads and benchmarks * System, workload, and workflow configuration and optimization SUBMISSIONS * Full papers: Up to 8 pages incl. references * Short papers: Up to 4 pages incl. references (Submission details and the link to the submission website are posted on our workshop website https://parallel.computer/) PROCEEDINGS All accepted papers will be indexed and published in the ACM Digital Library after the workshop.

Submission Guidelines ---------------------------------- Paper submissions should not exceed 10 pages (including references) and all submissions must be made electronically through the conference submission portal (https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/icpp ) in PDF format printable on US letter size (8.5" x 11") paper. Please use the ACM format located at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template . More speci?cally, we recommend using \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart} con?guration for submissions prepared in LaTex. Changes to the template (e.g., margin, font size) could lead to automatic rejection. Up to two additional pages may be subsequently purchased (if needed) for the camera-ready version. Submissions should represent original research results and cannot already be under review or accepted for publication in another venue. The review process is double-anonymous, so submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors. Authors should leave out author names, a?liations, and (any) acknowledgment from the body of their submission. They should also ensure that any references to authors? own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not ?We build on our previous work ?? but rather ?We build on the work of ??). The purpose of this process is to help the Program Committee and external reviewers come to a judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Authors with further questions about double-anonymous reviewing are encouraged to contact the Program Chairs by email. The ICPP 2023 technical program includes a reproducibility initiative, where the submitters will be given an option to submit details about the artifacts that enable their experiments to be reproduced. A reproducibility submission consists of the description of the computational artifacts (up to two pages appendix) and persistent and permanent links to the computational artifacts submission (more information regarding the ICPP reproducibility initiative here). The submission of the reproducibility artifacts will be voluntary, but their presence will be an advantage during the decision process compared to submissions with equivalent ratings without artifacts. We also plan to have rebuttals only for papers that do not have a clear accept or reject decision." All accepted papers that are presented at the conference will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Accepted papers will also need to follow the conference registration policy to be included in the conference proceedings. We will o?er rejected papers an opportunity to be forwarded to workshop organizers to be considered in one of the workshops if the authors choose to do so.

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 the following tracks: 1) research paper track ? requesting submissions regarding state-of-the-practice and research about I/O in the data center. 2) talks from I/O experts ? you'll need to submit an abstract for your talk. 3) student mentoring sessions - short talks by students to get constructive feedback from the community to help the students advance in their studies. Contributions to the tracks are peer-reviewed and require submission of the respective research paper or idea for your presentation via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpciodc23 == Track: research papers == We are excited to announce that research papers will be published in Springer Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) series and extended manuscripts in the new open-access Journal of High-Performance Storage (https://jhps.vi4io.org/) as well. The research track accepts papers covering state-of-the-practice and research dedicated to storage in the data center. 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 author's preference and reviewer feedback. All relevant work in the area of data center storage will be able to be published 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 * Cloud/Edge storage aspects === Paper Deadlines === * Submission deadline: 2023-03-06 AoE * Author notification: 2023-04-24 * Pre-final submission: 2023-05-22 * Workshop: 2023-05-25 == 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 in participating, please submit a short (1/2 page) abstract of your talk together with a (very) short Bio. Abstract Deadlines: * Submission deadline: 2023-04-24 AoE * Author notification: 2023-05-02 == Student Mentoring Sessions == To foster the next generation of data-related practitioners and researchers, students are encouraged to submit an abstract following the expert talk guidelines above as far as their research is aligned with these topics. At the workshop, the students will be given 10 minutes to talk about what they are working on followed by 10-15 minutes of conversation with the community present about how to further the work, what the impact could be, alternative research directions, and other topics to help the students progress in their studies. We encourage students to work with a shepherd toward a JHPS paper illustrating their research based on the feedback obtained during the workshop. == Program committee == * Thomas B?nisch (HLRS) * Suren Byna (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) * Matthew Curry (Sandia National Laboratories) * Sandro Fiore (University of Trento) * Javier Garcia Blas (Carlos III University) * Stefano Gorini (Swiss National Supercomputing Centre) * Adrian Jackson (The University of Edinburgh) * Ivo Jimenez (University of California, Santa Cruz) * George S.

The conference brings together experts who work on different levels of the cloud stack ? including systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, applications, and software engineering. IC2E offers an end-to-end view of the challenges and technologies in Cloud Computing, fosters new research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately helps to shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society. IC2E 2023 invites submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully-developed results and ongoing foundational and applied work related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The IC2E Program Committee will interpret "cloud engineering" very broadly ? to include everything from engineering principles to practical experiences, and advances that target different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and industry. In particular, submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities are encouraged. Authors can choose to submit their papers under either the Research or Industry Track. Submissions are invited on the following (non-exhaustive list) of topics for both tracks: - Cloud Management and Engineering - Cloud Applications - Cloud Systems - Fog and Edge Computing For a full list of the topics, please visit https://conferences.computer.org/IC2E/2023/. IC2E is looking for the following three types of paper submissions: - Research papers describe original well-evaluated research. Novelty is a key criterion in the review process. - Vision papers describe speculative but well-reasoned and inspiring papers. Here, the insights and clarity of the vision are of key concern. - Industry and experience papers describe how existing research has been transferred into practice. The review focus is on the lessons learned, including those relevant for researchers. Research and vision papers should be submitted to the research track, industry and experience papers to the industry track. Vision papers should have "(Vision Paper)" as a subtitle on the first page. *###SUBMISSION###* Both Research Track and Industry Track papers should use the IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings for formatting. LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}, without including the compsoc or compsocconf options. As reviewers often ask for additional content, IC2E differentiates between paper formatting for reviewing and for the final published version: * Full papers: For reviewing, full papers (including figures and tables) should not exceed 9 double-column pages; references can be additional pages. For the final published version, full papers are limited to a total of 12 double-column pages including everything. * Short papers: For reviewing, short papers are limited to 5 pages, not including references, and should be clearly marked as such in the title. For the final published version, short papers are limited to 8 pages, including everything. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Depending on the paper type, submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted manuscripts must contain original contributions, and their contributions must not have appeared in or be under consideration for publication in another workshop, conference or journal. Papers are submitted via EasyChair https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ic2e2023 Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed).

One early effort area has been to augment existing autonomic system components with AI models that can offer finer-grained and continuously updated automation behavior. Work has been done to try to predict IO behavior to enable more efficient machine throughput, log monitoring to detect patterns that may reveal either security concerns or faulty components that fail in consistent, but unusual ways, and to manage applications and caches to better address the system as a whole rather than at an individual component level. All of these, and many more, system-related tasks address a complex, sometimes intractable problem, and seek to use AI tools to offer better solutions than either heuristics or point solutions that have existed previously. ---------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------------- This workshop solicits novel work that explores how to effectively incorporate AI into system management and monitoring, particularly for complex systems that support scientific and engineering workloads (i.e., cloud and HPC). Areas of interest and domains of work include, but are not limited to: 1) tools and runtimes for incorporating AI into systems 2) privacy and security concerns for managing system data used for model creation 3) continuous model evolution and the impacts of chasing current workloads on a dynamic system 4) AI algorithms for systems problems 5) Subsystem related optimizations including operating systems, data migration, storage, job management, resource allocation, and related topics 6) Position and experience papers on using AI in systems Papers will be in the ACM conference format no more than 5 pages long including everything except references.

Today, these architectures take a role at any scale, from high-end servers to personal and mobile devices, and they underlie various recent computing paradigms, like Cloud, Edge, and Fog Computing. The continuously-growing level of hardware parallelism and heterogeneity has led concurrent and distributed systems to be even more complex to optimize, in particular in terms of energy efficiency and performance, which are known to be highly interrelated. Nonetheless, these aspects are of paramount importance, especially because of the high demand for electricity by the IT sector. This facet is further exacerbated by the recent energy crisis and rising energy prices. Various aspects of concurrent and/or distributed systems that make them complex (like the complexity of the underlying architectures, data dependencies, the use of shared resources, the hardware heterogeneity) can also offer new opportunities for designing novel methods and techniques for their energy and performance optimization. PECS aims to establish a venue for both academia and industry to discuss challenges and perspectives and to explore methods, techniques, and tools for energy efficiency and performance optimization in concurrent and distributed systems. High-quality research papers are solicited on all aspects related to energy efficiency and performance of concurrent and/or distributed computer systems, focusing on the following topics (but not limited to): - Multi/many-core systems - Heterogeneous computing architectures - Cloud, IoT, Edge and Fog Computing - Parallel, concurrent and distributed programming frameworks - High-Performance Computing - (Big) Data processing - Machine learning methods and applications - Data management and services - Simulation systems - Operating Systems - Virtualization - Security *************** Important Dates Abstract Submission (required for all papers): Apr 28, 2023, 23:59 AoE Paper Submission: May 05, 2023, 23:59 AoE Paper Notification of Acceptance: Jun 19, 2023 Camera-Ready Submission: Jul 02, 2023 Workshop Day: Aug 28/29, 2023 *************** Paper Submission All papers must be submitted using the EasyChair submission system. Submitted papers should present novel contributions and should not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers must be prepared using the Springer LNCS style. It is required to use one of the Springer LNCS Proceedings template files.

Performance, energy efficiency, and reliability are becoming central to the acceptance and sustainability of modern computing systems. Digitalization brings computing technology closer to people and manages most aspects of their life. In turn, human interaction increasingly shapes the behavior of computing systems. As a result, our systems become more complex and, therefore, more difficult to engineer and understand. We need to be able to manage this complexity so that our systems remain reliable, trustable, and performant. ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report on open problems, state-of-the-art solutions, and in-progress research in performance engineering of software and systems - targeting performance and associated quality attributes such as efficiency and reliability in all phases of the computing system lifecycle, from specification and development to run time and maintenance. ICPE deals with performance and associated quality attributes across all application domains. We encourage contributions that help extend the state-of-the-art in particular, but not exclusively, in the following areas: - Measurement and Empirical Evaluation - Modeling - Design and Development Processes - Performance Testing - Managing Systems at Runtime - Platform-Related Optimizations - Benchmarking ICPE caters to a wide range of submission types with eight distinct submission tracks: - Research track for regular research papers on the conference topics - Industry track for contributions connecting to the industry - Journal-first track for contributions from recent journal publications (new) - Artifact track for sharing software and data artifacts - Emerging research track for discussing preliminary or vision contributions - Poster and demo track for short interactive contributions - Tutorials track for presentations by leading scientists and practitioners - Workshops track for specific aspects of performance engineering - Data challenge track for addressing the challenges presented by a performance dataset The conference proceedings are published in ACM Digital Library.

In this track, we hope to collect "visionary" works and new ideas even at a preliminary stage. "Work-in-progress" are also welcome. Submissions must not exceed 6 pages; the deadline is January 26, 2024. Lishan and Vittoria ============================ ICPE Emerging Research Track ============================ With the growing impact of information technology in all aspects of real life and society, it is crucial to understand the new demands and the needs of the complexity of systems. The emerging research track offers the opportunity to present new ideas and visions even in their early stage. The track welcomes position and idea papers on emerging research challenges. Authors can also present and discuss preliminary results from their latest research and obtain early feedback from the research community. Correspondingly, the track distinguishes two paper types: 1) Position / Vision / Idea papers are invited to submit positions on emerging research topics or visions and ideas that have yet to progress to a work-in-progress stage. Besides basic technical correctness, the submissions will be reviewed for their potential to motivate future research and stimulate debate on the existing research challenges. The authors should clearly present the research questions and their rationale, sketching possible approaches to their resolution. The Position / Vision / Idea papers must carry a respective ?(? Paper)? notice in their title and should not exceed 6 pages. 2) Work In Progress papers should present preliminary research results that may not have been entirely validated. The work should be advanced enough to allow attendees to appreciate the scope and significance. As with standard research submissions, papers will be reviewed for novelty, relevance, technical quality and scientific soundness, but the review criteria will be relaxed to reflect the preliminary nature of the work - submissions with still open research issues or currently limited evaluation are all welcome. The authors are encouraged to list the open issues in their submissions explicitly. Work In Progress papers must carry a ?(Work In Progress Paper)? notice in their title and should not exceed 6 pages. The submission deadlines are listed on the Important Dates page: https://icpe2024.spec.org/important-dates/ Submissions must be appropriately anonymized for the double-blind submission process. Please see the Double Blind FAQ for more details: https://icpe2024.spec.org/double-blind/ Submissions are made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpe2024 and must be in the standard ACM format for conference proceedings. More specifically, the double column formats have to be used for all paper submissions: Latex preferred, Word. Papers must be within the page limit for the relevant paper type, which includes figures and tables but not references and appendices. The accepted papers' camera-ready version may use up to 1 extra page to remove anonymization and address potential shepherding comments but may not add significant non-reviewed content. Papers submitted in this track will be reviewed by the Program Committee of the Research Track and they will be published in the companion to the ICPE proceedings.

Workshop Date: May 2024 (https://sites.google.com/view/essa-2024) ********************************************************************* We are organizing the fifth edition of the International Workshop on Extreme-Scale Storage and Analytics (ESSA) held in conjunction with IPDPS since 2020 (formerly High Performance Storage (HPS) in 2020 and 2021). Advances in storage are becoming increasingly critical because workloads on high performance computing (HPC) and cloud systems are producing and consuming more data than ever before, and the situation promises to only increase in future years. Additionally, the last decades have seen relatively few changes in the structure of parallel file systems, and limited interaction between the evolution of parallel file systems, e.g., Lustre, GPFS, and I/O support systems that take advantage of hierarchical storage layers, e.g., node local burst buffers. However, recently the community has seen a large uptick in innovations in data storage and processing systems as well as in I/O support software for several reasons: (1) Technology: The availability of an increasing number of persistent solid-state storage and persistent storage-class memory technologies that can replace either memory or disk are creating new opportunities for the structure of storage systems. (2) Performance requirements: Disk-based parallel file systems cannot satisfy the performance needs of high-end systems. However, it is not clear how solid-state storage and storage-class memory can best be used to achieve the needed performance, so new approaches for using solid-state storage and storage-class memory in HPC systems are being designed and evaluated. (3) Application evolution: Data analysis applications, including graph analytics and machine learning, are becoming increasingly important both for scientific computing and for commercial computing.? I/O is often a major bottleneck for such applications, both in cloud and HPC environments ? especially when fast turnaround or integration of heavy computation and analysis are required. Consequently, data storage, I/O and processing requirements are evolving, as complex workflows involving computation, analytics and learning emerge. (4) Infrastructure evolution: HPC technology will not only be deployed in dedicated supercomputing centers in the future. ?Embedded HPC?, ?HPC in the box?, ?HPC in the loop?, ?HPC in the cloud?, ?HPC as a service?, and ?near-to-real-time simulation? are concepts requiring new small-scale deployment environments for HPC. A federation of systems and functions with consistent mechanisms for managing I/O, storage, and data processing across all participating systems will be required to create what is called a ?computing continuum?. (5) Virtualization and disaggregation: As virtualization and disaggregation become broadly used in cloud and HPC computing, the issue of virtualized storage has increasing importance and efforts will be needed to understand its implications for performance. Our goals in the ESSA Workshop are to bring together expert researchers and developers in data-related areas such as storage, I/O, processing and analytics on extreme scale infrastructures including HPC systems, clouds, edge systems or hybrid combinations of these, to discuss advances and possible solutions to the new challenges we face. We expect the ESSA Workshop to result in lively interactions over a wide range of interesting topics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ?- Extreme-scale storage systems (on high-end HPC infrastructures, clouds, or hybrid combinations of them) ?- Extreme-scale parallel and distributed storage architectures ?- The 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 and storage-class memory ?- High-performance I/O libraries and services ?- I/O performance in extreme-scale systems and applications (HPC/clouds/edge) ?- Storage and data processing architectures and systems for hybrid HPC/cloud/edge infrastructures, in support of complex workflows potentially combining simulation and analytics ?- Integrating computation into the memory and storage hierarchy to facilitate in-situ and in-transit data processing ?- I/O characterization and data processing techniques for application workloads relying on extreme-scale parallel/distributed machine-learning/deep learning ?- Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data intensive components ?- Data reduction and compression ?- Failure and recovery of extreme-scale storage systems ?- Benchmarks and performance tools for extreme-scale I/O ?- Language and library support for data-centric computing ?- Storage virtualization and disaggregation ?- Ephemeral storage media and consistency optimizations ?- Storage architectures and systems for scalable stream-based processing ?- Study cases of I/O services and data processing architectures in support of various application domains (bioinformatics, scientific simulations, large observatories, experimental facilities, etc.) ================================ Submission Guidelines ================================ The workshop will accept traditional research papers (Page limit: 8 pages) for in-depth topics and short papers (Page limit: 5 pages) for work in progress on hot topics.

CHEOPS'24 will be hosted in conjunction with EuroSys'24. The fourth workshop on ?Challenges and Opportunities of Efficient and Performant Storage Systems? (CHEOPS) is aimed at researchers, developers of scientific applications, engineers and everyone interested in the evolution of storage systems. As the developments of computing power, storage and network technologies continue to diverge, the bandwidth performance gap between them widens. This trend, combined with the ever growing data volumes and data-driven computing such as machine learning, results in I/O and storage limitations, impacting the scalability and efficiency of current and future computing systems. Some of these challenges are quantitative, such as scale to match exascale system requirements, or latency reduction of the software stack to efficiently integrate new generations of hardware like storage class memory (SCM). Some other issues are more subtle and arise with the increased complexity of the storage solutions, like new smarter and more potent data management tools, monitoring systems or interoperability between I/O components or data formats. The main objective of this workshop is to discuss state-of-the-art research, innovative ideas and experiences that focus on the design and implementation of storage systems in both academic and industrial worlds. Topics of Interest ------------------------ Submissions may be more hands-on than research papers and we therefore explicitly encourage submissions in the early stages of research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Operating system optimizations Kernel and user space file/storage systems Including virtual file systems Cloud, parallel and distributed file/storage systems Network challenges, such as scalability, QoS and partitionability Approaches for low-latency and heterogeneous storage systems Such as SCM and NVRAM combined with HDDs Metadata management Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Storage requirements of ML and AI applications Using ML and AI within storage systems (e.g., to replace heuristics) Hybrid solutions using file systems and databases Approaches using query and database interfaces, including key-value stores Optimized indexing techniques Data organizations to support online workflows Data privacy and data security Domain-specific data management solutions Application I/O characterization Storage systems modeling and analysis tools Data reduction techniques Lossless and lossy compression, deduplication UI/UX for storage systems Related experiences from users: what worked, what didn?t? Feedback and empirical evaluation of storage systems Paper Submissions --------------------------- In order to guarantee the quality of the submissions, we have formed a globally distributed, diverse program committee. All submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. We will use HotCRP to manage the submissions (https://cheops24.hotcrp.com). The reviewing process will be double blind with at least 3 reviews for each submission. An online discussion will determine which papers to accept. Only original and novel work not currently under review in other venues will be considered for publication. Submissions can either be full papers (6 pages) or short papers (4 pages). The page count includes the title, text, figures, appendices but excludes the references. They must be submitted electronically as PDF files formatted according to the submission rules of EuroSys (https://2024.eurosys.org/cfp.html). Accepted submissions will have to comply with the EuroSys proceedings format. One author of each accepted paper is required to register for the workshop and present the paper. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review journal.

The conference brings together experts who work on different levels of the cloud stack ? including systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, applications, and software engineering. IC2E offers an end-to-end view of the challenges and technologies in Cloud Computing, fosters new research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately helps shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society. IC2E 2024 invites submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully developed results and ongoing foundational and applied work related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The IC2E Program Committee will interpret ?cloud engineering? very broadly ? to include everything from engineering principles to practical experiences, and advances that target different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and industry. In particular, submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities are encouraged. Authors can choose to submit their papers under either the Research and Vision or Industry and Experience Track. Submissions are invited on the following non-exhaustive list of topics for both tracks: * Cloud management and engineering, from single (micro-)services to complete system landscapes * Cloud applications, ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT) over Big Data to Machine Learning * Cloud systems, including storage, data distribution, and serverless computing * Cloud security and privacy concerns on all levels of the Cloud stack * Fog and Edge Computing, and all other system types in the Cloud-Edge Compute Continuum * Everything as a Service * Non-technical aspects of Cloud Computing, e.g., Cloud governance or cloud economics For a full list of the topics, please visit https://conferences.computer.org/IC2E/2024/. IC2E is looking for the following three types of paper submissions: * Research papers describe original well-evaluated research. Novelty is a key criterion in the review process. * Vision papers describe speculative but well-reasoned and inspiring papers. Here, the insights and clarity of the vision are of key concern. * Industry and experience papers describe how existing research has been transferred into practice. The review focus is on the lessons learned, including those relevant for researchers. Research and vision papers should be submitted to the Research Track, industry and experience papers to the Industry Track. Vision papers should have "(Vision Paper)" as a subtitle on the first page. ###SUBMISSION### Authors must submit full and short papers in PDF via the Web submission form at EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ic2e2024), upon selecting Research Track or Industry Track options. Both Research Track and Industry Track papers should use the IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings for formatting. LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}, without including the compsoc or compsocconf options. As reviewers often ask for additional content, IC2E differentiates between paper formatting for reviewing and for the final published version: * Full papers: For reviewing, full papers (including figures and tables) should not exceed 9 double-column pages; references can be additional pages. For the final published version, full papers are limited to a total of 12 double-column pages including everything. * Short papers: For reviewing, short papers are limited to 5 pages, not including references, and should be clearly marked as such in the title. For the final published version, short papers are limited to 8 pages, including everything. IC2E supports Open Science practices. Therefore, authors are strongly encouraged to publish software and data sets as open-source/data. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Depending on the paper type, submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted manuscripts must contain original contributions, and their contributions must not have appeared in or be under consideration for publication in another workshop, conference, or journal. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed). ###ORGANIZATION & CONTACT### General Chairs: * George Pallis University of Cyprus, Cyprus * Weisong Shi University of Delaware, US TPC Chairs: * Xiaohui (Helen) Gu North Carolina State University, US * Stefan Schulte Hamburg University of Technology, Germany -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
