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=hpciodc24 == 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 * Application of AI methods in storage === Paper Deadlines === * Submission deadline: 2024-03-01 AoE * Author notification: 2024-03-29 * Pre-final submission: 2024-04-30 * Workshop: 2024-05-16 == 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: 2024-04-12 AoE * Author notification: 2024-04-26 == 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.

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.

Pisa ? Italy ? Conference: https://itadata.it/ Submission portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ITADATA2024/ *** *ABOUT **** The Italian Conference on Big Data and Data Science (ITADATA2024), at its third edition, is the annual event supported by the CINI Data ScienceNational Laboratory that aims to put together Italian researchers and professionals from academia, industry, government, and public administration working in the field of big data and data science, as well as related fields (e.g., security and privacy, HPC, Cloud). This year the conference is supported also by SoBigDataRI (http://www.sobigdata.eu/ ) which is a multi-disciplinary European research infrastructure aimed at using social mining and big data to understand the complexity of society. The conference will be structured into a main research track on big data and data science and complemented with tutorials/demos on specific solutions and prototypes developed by industries, research centers and universities, and thematic workshops on specific verticals of big data and data science. The conference will also feature selected distinguished keynote speeches and some panels. ITADATA2024 aims to discuss and shape the future of Big Data and Data Science in Italy and abroad, considering the multidisciplinary, complex, heterogeneous, and data-centric environment in which modern distributed systems are operating. The ability to timelymanage and analyze large amountsof data, and to guarantee low-latency access to the data themselves increasingly become critical requirements and are at the heart of modern business processes. In this context, data science, as the foundation of today's data-driven society, plays the role of developing and defining all the technologies needed to support construction of value on data in multidisciplinary areas at increasing complexity. ITADATA2024 covers theoretical and practical research and application pertaining todata, from data governance to data processing and analysis. It also covers research and application in related domains where data and data science technologies are key, such as cloud, edge and IoT, intelligent and high-performancecomputing, blockchain, security and privacy, assuranceand certification. It finally considers and analyzes the evolution of big data and data science at EU and national level, trying to map current activities in the context of data spaces and relevant organizations/associations such as, for instance, the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), as well as policy development, laws, and regulations. =================================================================================== *** *IMPORTANT DATES **** * _Research Paper/Presentation submissions due_: June 2nd, 2024 * _Final notification to authors_: July 2nd, 2024 * _Camera-ready paper and registration due_: July 15th, 2024 * _Tutorial/Demo/Workshop/Panel submissions due_: May 15th, 2024 * _Final notifications to proposers_: June 3rd, 2024 =================================================================================== ****CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS**** ITADATA2024 welcomes original papers from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of Big Data and data science including data governance, data processing, data analysis, data reporting, data protection, as well as experimental studies and lessons learned.

Research Papers, Practical Experience Reports, and Tool Papers should be no longer than 10 pages, *excluding references* for which there's no page limit, following the IEEE two-column format for conference proceedings. Additional details to substantiate the main claims of the paper, such as proofs, data tables or code snippets, can be included in a clearly marked appendix beyond the page limit, and read at the reviewers? discretion. Authors are requested to first register their submissions with a title and abstract, and then submit their manuscripts in PDF format at the submission page. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to make a good-faith effort to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. It is recognized that, at times, information regarding the identities of authors may become public outside the submission process (e.g., if a preprint is published as a technical report or on a preprint server). The PC will ignore this external information. Minimally, please take the following steps when preparing your submission: * Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page. * Remove acknowledgement of identifying names and funding sources. * Use care in referring to related work, particularly your own. Do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any other piece of related work by another author. Submissions that do not conform to the above anonymization and formatting guidelines (e.g., are too long, use fonts or line spacing smaller than what is indicated) or are unoriginal, previously published, or are under submission to multiple venues concurrently, will be desk rejected without review. If you have any questions regarding paper submission, please do not hesitate to contact the conference PC Chairs: * Silvia Bonomi bonomi at diag.uniroma1.it * Murat Demirbas murat.demirbas at mongodb.com Submissions site: TBD For further information, please see https://srds-conference.org/ # Topics of Interest ******************** The major areas of interest include the following topics: Dependability, security and privacy of distributed systems including, but not limited to, cloud, high-performance, fog, and edge computing; distributed data storage and processing; distributed machine learning and AI; safety-critical distributed systems; Internet of Things, vehicular, robotic, cyber-physical and mobile systems.

URL: From committee at io500.org Wed Apr 3 11:53:59 2024 From: committee at io500.org (IO500 Committee) Date: Wed, 03 Apr 2024 09:53:59 -0600 Subject: [Storage-research-list] IO500 CFS ISC 2024 Message-ID: Call for Submission Stabilization Period: Monday, April 1st - Friday, April 15th, 2024 Submission Deadline: Tuesday, May 3rd, 2024 AoE The IO500 is now accepting and encouraging submissions for the upcoming 14th semi-annual IO500 Production and Research lists, in conjunction with ISC24. Once again, we are also accepting submissions to both the Production and Research 10 Client Node Challenges to encourage the submission of small scale results. View the requirements for submitting to each list on the IO500 Webpage. The new ranked lists will be announced at the BoF [1]. We hope to see many new results. Background Following the success of the Top500 in collecting and analyzing historical trends in supercomputer technology and evolution, the IO500 was created in 2017, published its first list at SC17, and has grown continually since then. The benchmarks represent community accepted standards, including being used in Request for Proposals for new HPC platforms. The benchmarks showcase the IO access pattern extremes giving a full picture of storage system potential performance. 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. The multi-fold goals of the benchmark suite are as follows: - Represent naive and optimized access patterns for the execution of a rich variety of HPC applications, their achievable performance and the documentation of how the numbers are achieved. - Support small to extreme-scale Research and Production HPC systems using flexible storage APIs - Maximizing simplicity in running the benchmark suite while offering tunable parameters 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 runs with highly prescribed parameters in an attempt to determine a lower performance 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. Supported Storage APIs are those that are part of IOR and mdtest. Extending these tools with a public pull request can be done to enable new storage APIs. 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 5. Understand and be able to reproduce performance on storage systems Using the IO500 Reproducibility guidelines, each submission is labeled according to the breadth of details provided and the access to the deployed storage software that enables the community to reproduce the results and study system design changes over time. The IO500 follows a two-staged approach. First, there will be a two-week stabilization period during which we encourage the community to verify that the benchmark runs properly on a variety of storage systems. During this period the benchmark may be updated based upon feedback from the community. The final benchmark will then be released. We expect that runs compliant with the rules made during the stabilization period will be valid as a final submission unless a significant defect is found. 10 Client Node I/O Challenge The 10 Client Node Challenge is conducted using the regular IO500 benchmark, however, with the rule that exactly 10 client nodes must be used to run the benchmark. You may use any shared storage with any number of servers. We will announce the results in the Production and Research lists as well as in separate derived lists. Birds-of-a-Feather We encourage you to submit [2] to join our community, and to attend the ISC?24 BoF [1] on Tuesday, May 12, 2024 at 10:05am - 11:05am CEST, where we will announce the new IO500 Production and Research lists and their 10 Client Node counterparts. Be Part of the Community Submissions of all sizes are welcome; the webpage has customizable sorting, so it is possible to submit on a small system and still get a very good per-client score, for example.

This workshop aims to address the need for replicable and safe sharing of information by promoting the advancement of our community towards synthetic data generation. By creating synthetic datasets that mimic real-world phenomena, researchers can effectively overcome barriers associated with limited access to sensitive or proprietary data. In doing so, we not only foster interdisciplinary collaborations but also accelerate scientific discovery. ## Brief Description Synthetic datasets that reflect the statistical properties of authentic data allow us to share research insights and findings without compromising privacy or proprietary interests. This approach not only promotes transparency and reproducibility in research but also encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the main areas utilizing generated synthetic data. Privacy issues arise once the dataset contains sensitive features playing a role in training AI systems. Given the high cost and time-consuming nature of data collection, as well as the potential for shortcomings such as low data volume, non-compliance with regulations, and bias, there is a risk of not only achieving biased and low-performance models but also violating privacy principles. Synthetic data generation can facilitate analysis, the need for data augmentation, or prevent data breaches in highly sensitive domains, rather than weak anonymization approaches. Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Variational Autoencoders (VAE), and Agent-based modeling (ABM) are among the most common synthetic data generation algorithms. However, it is critical to recognize the limitations of synthetic data generation, particularly in capturing the intricacies and interdependencies present in real-world systems. While synthetic datasets can mimic statistical distributions and patterns, they may struggle to replicate the nuanced relationships and contextual nuances inherent in complex phenomena. By leveraging advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational modeling, researchers can strive to bridge the gap between synthetic and authentic data, unlocking new opportunities for insight and innovation in fields as diverse as healthcare, finance, social sciences, and beyond. ## Topics of Interest Prospective authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished contributions from a broad range of topics, which include but are not limited to the following: - Privacy-preserving in healthcare data - Algorithms for debiasing datasets (in the pre-processing phase of ML modeling) - Algorithms for debiasing the ML models? results - Uncovering and mitigating synthetic data algorithmic bias - Assurance and certification of the dataset and ML models - Synergy of ABM with ML focusing on the rule extraction - Domain-dependent/independent synthetic data generation challenges and opportunities - FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reuse) and ethical synthetic data generation - Explainability and interpretability aspects in synthetic data generation ## Important Dates - Paper submission deadline: June 3, 2024 AoE - Authors? notification: July 3, 2024 AoE - Camera-ready submission: July 14, 2024 AoE - Early registration deadline: July 20, 2024 AoE - Workshop date: September 2-4, 2024 ## Workshop Chairs - Samira Maghool, Department of Computer Science, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Faiza Allah Bukhsh, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Twente ## Organizing Commitee - Ernesto Damiani, Department of Computer Science, Khalifa University - Paolo Caravolo, Department of Computer Science, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Samira Maghool, Department of Computer Science, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Faiza Allah Bukhsh, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Twente ## Technical Program Committee - Mirela Riveni, University of Groningen - Juba Agoun, Universite` Lumie're Lyon 2 - Valerio Bellandi, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Nicola Bena, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Filippo Berto, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Afshin Montakhab Shiraz, University - Marco Cremonini, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Elena Casiraghi, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Rob Bemthuis, University of Twente - Sanja Lazarova-Molnar Karlsruhe Institute of Technology - Azzam Mourad Lebanese American, University - Anastasija Nikiforova, University of Tartu - MohammadReza Fani Sani Microsoft - Paolo Caravolo, Universita' degli Studi di Milano - Maya Daneva, University of Twente - Jeewanie Jayasinghe Arachchig, University of Twente - Rabia Maqsood National, University of Computer and Emerging Sciences CHINIOT-FAISALABAD CAMPUS - Marco Angelini, University of Rome "La Sapienza" - Alessandro Palma, University of Rome "La Sapienza" - Robert Wrembel Poznan, University of Technology, Computer Science - Ehsan Ullah Munir, Comsats University Please don't hesitate to ask further questions.

Workshop Date: September 24, 2024 (https://sites.google.com/view/rexio/) ********************************************************************* ================================ Scope, Aims, and Topics ================================ High Performance Computing (HPC) applications are evolving to include not only traditional modeling and simulation bulk-synchronous scale-up workloads but also scale-out workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics methods, deep learning, and complex multi-step workflows. With the advent of Exascale systems such as Frontier, workflows include multiple different components from both scale-up and scale-out communities operating together to drive scientific discovery and innovation. With the often conflicting design choices between optimizing for write- vs. read-intensive, having flexible I/O systems is crucial to support hybrid workloads. Another performance aspect is the intensifying complexity of parallel file and storage systems in large-scale cluster environments. Storage system designs are advancing beyond the traditional two-tiered file system and archive model by introducing new tiers of temporary, fast storage close to the computing resources with distinctly different performance characteristics. The changing landscape of emerging hybrid HPC workloads along with the ever increasing gap between the compute and storage performance capabilities reinforces the need for an in-depth understanding of extreme-scale I/O and for rethinking existing data storage and management techniques. Traditional approaches of managing data might fail to address the challenges of extreme-scale hybrid workloads. Novel I/O optimization and management techniques integrating machine learning and AI algorithms, such as intelligent load balancing and I/O pattern prediction, are needed to ease the handling of the exponential growth of data as well as the complex hierarchies in the storage and file systems. Furthermore, user-friendly, transparent and innovative approaches are essential to adapt to the needs of different HPC I/O workloads while easing the scientific and commercial code development and efficiently utilizing extreme-scale parallel I/O and storage resources. Established at IEEE Cluster 2021, the Re-envisioning Extreme-Scale I/O for Emerging Hybrid HPC Workloads (REX-IO) workshop has created a forum for experts, researchers, and engineers in the parallel I/O and storage, compute facility operation, and HPC application domains. REX-IO solicits novel work that characterizes I/O behavior and identifies the challenges in scientific data and storage management for emerging HPC workloads, introduces potential solutions to alleviate some of these challenges, and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed solutions to improve I/O performance for the exascale supercomputing era and beyond. We envision that this workshop will contribute to the community and further drive discussions between storage and I/O researchers, HPC application users and the data analytics community to give a better in-depth understanding of the impact on the storage and file systems induced by emerging HPC applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Understanding I/O inefficiencies in emerging workloads such as complex multi-step workflows, in-situ analysis, AI, and data analytics methods - New I/O optimization techniques, including how ML and AI algorithms might be adapted for intelligent load balancing and I/O pattern prediction of complex, hybrid application workloads - Performance benchmarking and modeling, and I/O behavior studies of emerging workloads - New possibilities for the I/O optimization of emerging application workloads and their I/O subsystems - Efficient monitoring tools for metadata and storage hardware statistics at runtime, dynamic storage resource management, and I/O load balancing - Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management - Understanding and efficiently utilizing complex storage hierarchies beyond the traditional two-tiered file system and archive model - User-friendly tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and storage nodes - Use of staging areas, such as burst buffers or other private or shared acceleration tiers for managing intermediate data between computation tasks - Application of emerging big data frameworks towards scientific computing and analysis - Alternative data storage models, including object and key-value stores, and scalable software architectures for data storage and archive - Position papers on related topics ================================ Submission Guidelines ================================ All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Indicate all authors and affiliations. All papers will be peer-reviewed using a single-blind peer-review process by at least three members of the program committee.

Many of the components of these 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. In processing massive sets of unstructured data, the components often execute many irregular, fine-grain accesses and synchronization events. Since current high-performance programming models, runtimes, and architectures rely on regular task graphs, bulk synchronous communications and high temporal and spatial data locality to reduce operational latencies, it is difficult to express irregular applications in current HPC programming models and scale performance on current supercomputing machines. Development of improved programming and execution models that address the issues of irregular applications is critical to solving the data challenges in large-scale science and data analysis. 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, algorithms, and performance studies. 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, AI/ML accelerators), reconfigurable (coarse grained reconfigurable and FPGA designs) and custom processors - Network architectures and interconnects including high-radix and optical networks - 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 - Languages and programming models for irregular workloads - Library and runtime support for irregular workloads - Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads - Innovative algorithmic techniques for irregular workloads - Combinatorial algorithms (graph algorithms, sparse linear algebra, etc.) - Impact of irregularity on machine learning approaches (e.g., graph neural networks, large language models) - 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) - 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 The workshop welcomes regular paper submissions, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, as well as innovative ideas related to the workshop theme. 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: July 26, 2024 (AoE) Position or Regular Paper Submission: August 2, 2024 (AoE) Notification: September 8, 2024 Camera-ready: September 30, 2024 Workshop: November 18, 2024 ------------------- SUBMISSIONS ------------------- Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org/?page=Submit&id=SCWorkshopIA3Abstract&site=sc24 Submitted manuscripts may not exceed eight (8) pages in length for regular papers and four (4) pages for position papers (excluding references).

Today's systems are complex, rely increasingly on dynamic distributed architectures, and raise continuously important challenges related to end-to-end performance management. This applies equally to emerging domains, such as systems of systems, interconnected and embedded systems, distributed data and intelligence, machine learning environments, human-centered computing, non-von Neumann architectures, cloud/edge/fog infrastructures, data streaming, and social networks, and also to traditional domains, such as web-based, data centers, mobile and wireless systems, and real-time systems. As a result, our systems have become more complex and, therefore, more difficult to engineer and understand. We need to manage this complexity so that our systems remain reliable, trustworthy, and performant. ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering of software, networks, 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. 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: - Performance Measurement and Empirical Evaluation - Performance Benchmarking - Performance Modeling of Software and Systems - Design and Development Processes - Run-time performance management and adaptation - Platform-Related Optimizations 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 - 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.

An ideal submission has the potential to open a line of inquiry that results in multiple conference papers by different authors in related venues, rather than a single follow-on conference paper. The program committee will explicitly favor papers likely to stimulate reflection and discussion. HotOS takes a broad view of systems research. This includes operating systems, storage, distributed systems, mobile and embedded systems, virtualization, programming languages, networking, security, dependability, and manageability, as well as new systems contributions influenced by other fields such as hardware design, training and serving machine learning, verification, economics, social organization, and biological or other nontraditional computing systems. Research and position papers as well as panel proposals must be received by Thursday January 15, AoE. This is a hard deadline. Papers and proposals should be submitted as PDF files via the web submission form . Please select your submission type on the form (paper or proposal).

The fifth edition of the Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS?25) workshop aims to advance and promote research on how unobtrusive observations of human cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and contextual data are increasingly enabling innovative computing experiences. The workshop will also foster discussions about the societal implications of computational sensing. Traditionally, sensors have been understood narrowly as devices that capture physiological measurements, often through wearables. This workshop adopts a broader, human-centric perspective, envisioning sensing as time-evolving measurable data directly linked to individuals and their communities. With this approach, sensing encompasses human reactions and interactions observed through spoken, written, or signed language, eye gaze, facial and bodily expressions, social networks, geospatial patterns, and other forms of human-generated data. Advances in multimodal human data acquisition and fusion have the potential to significantly impact all areas of human life, including productivity, health and well-being, training and education, human-computer interaction, accessibility, safety and security, as well as gaming, sports, and entertainment. Relevant topics include but are not limited to: - Context-Aware Sensing for Adaptive Learning Environments - Emotion Recognition through Physiological and Behavioral Signals - Personalized Well-being Applications using Continuous Sensing - Smart Workplaces through Behavioral Sensing - Human Activity Recognition in Unstructured Environments - Emotion-Adaptive Interfaces for Human-Computer Interaction - Geospatial Behavior Analysis for Urban Planning - Fusion of multifaceted, heterogeneous, and/or incommensurable human sensing data - Localization and proximity-detection systems - AI-empowered mobile sensing systems - Generative AI for synthetic sensor data generation and evaluation - User acceptance, quality of experience, and social impact studies - Accessibility of human sensing technologies - New interventions acting on human-centered computational sensing - Experimental analysis with human sensing data from real-world applications - Human-centered sensing for healthcare, industry, social goods and all possible application domains - Experiences and lessons learned from research projects focused on human-centered computational sensing - Privacy and ethical considerations for human-centered computational sensing, including gender equality. *Organizers will consider the possibility of inviting authors of selected papers accepted to HCCS?25 to submit an extended work to a Special Issue of an international journal.* *Submission and Registration*: Authors are invited to submit technical or theoretical papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers may be no more than 6 pages in length. Authors can purchase one additional page for the camera-ready version. Papers in excess of the page limits will not be considered for review or publication. All papers must be typeset in double-column IEEE format using 10pt fonts on US letter paper, with all fonts embedded. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE website. Submission instructions will be available soon on the workshop and conference websites. It is a requirement that all the authors listed in the submitted paper are also listed in the submission system. Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no registration is available for workshops only). Papers that are not presented in presence at the workshop will not be published in the proceedings. *Important Dates*: - Paper submission deadline: November 17th 2024 - Paper notification: January 8th, 2025 - Camera Ready Deadline: February 2nd, 2025 For more information, including the workshop's scope, submission guidelines, and topics of interest, please visit the workshop website or find the attached Call for Papers (CFP).

For decades, parallel file systems like Lustre and GPFS have seen few structural changes, with limited integration of I/O support technologies that leverage hierarchical storage layers, such as node-local burst buffers. Recently, however, there has been a surge in innovations in data storage, processing systems, and I/O support software for several key reasons: - Technology: The growing availability of persistent solid-state storage and storage-class memory technologies, capable of replacing both memory and disk, is opening up new possibilities for the design of storage systems. - Performance requirements: Disk-based parallel file systems are no longer sufficient to meet the performance demands of high-end systems. However, the optimal use of solid-state storage and storage-class memory to achieve the required performance remains unclear. As a result, new approaches for integrating these technologies into HPC systems are being actively developed and evaluated. - Application evolution: Data analysis applications, such as graph analytics and machine learning, are becoming increasingly critical in both scientific and commercial computing. I/O often presents a major bottleneck for these applications, particularly in cloud and HPC environments, where rapid turnaround or the integration of intensive computation and analysis is required. As a result, data storage, I/O, and processing demands are evolving, driven by the emergence of complex workflows that integrate computation, analytics, and learning. - Infrastructure evolution: In the future, HPC technology will extend beyond dedicated supercomputing centers. Concepts such as "Embedded HPC," "HPC in a Box," "HPC in the Loop," "HPC in the Cloud," "HPC as a Service," and "near-real-time simulation" will drive the need for new, small-scale HPC deployment environments. To enable a seamless computing continuum, a federation of systems and functions will be needed, with unified mechanisms for managing I/O, storage, and data processing across all participating systems. - Virtualization and disaggregation: As virtualization and disaggregation become more widely adopted in cloud and HPC computing, the importance of virtualized storage is growing. Increased efforts will be required to understand its impact on performance. Our goals for the ESSA Workshop are to bring together leading researchers and developers in data-related fields?such as storage, I/O, processing, and analytics?on extreme-scale infrastructures, including HPC systems, clouds, edge systems, and hybrid combinations of these. We aim to discuss advancements and potential solutions to the new challenges we encounter. - Extreme-scale storage systems for high-end HPC infrastructures, clouds, or hybrid environments - Extreme-scale parallel distributed, storage architectures - Synergies between different storage models, including POSIX file systems, object storage, key-value stores, and row- 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 for hybrid HPC/cloud/edge infrastructures supporting complex workflows that integrate simulation and analytics - Integrating computation within the memory and storage hierarchy to facilitate in-situ & in-transit data processing - I/O characterization and data processing techniques for application workloads in extreme-scale parallel and distributed machine learning and deep learning - Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data-intensive components - Data reduction and compression methods - Failure management and recovery strategies for 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 - Case studies of I/O services and data processing architectures across various application domains (e.g., scientific simulations, experimental facilities, large observatories, bioinformatics, etc.) ============ SUBMISSIONS: ============ The workshop will accept traditional research papers (8 pages) for in-depth topics and short papers (5 pages) for work in progress on hot topics. Papers should present original research and provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. Paper format: single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references.
