SEHPCCSE'16 (SC Workshop) Call for Papers

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. This message is
sent to . If you'd like to opt out of these
announcements, information on how to unsubscribe is available at the
bottom of this email.]

SEHPCCSE’16 – Call for Papers (http://se4science.org/workshops/sehpccse16/)
--------------------------------------------
New challenges in computational science & engineering (CSE) continue to push the boundaries of available computing resources. There is a demand to utilize high performance computing (HPC), including GPGPUs and computing clusters, for computational science & engineering (CSE) applications.

However developing HPC software is not an easy task. Developers must solve reliability, availability, and maintainability problems in extreme scales, understand domain specific constraints, deal with uncertainties inherent in scientific exploration, and develop algorithms that use computing resources efficiently.

Software engineering (SE) researchers have developed tools and practices to support various development tasks, including: requirements management, design, validation + verification, deployment, and maintenance. However software development for HPC historically attracted little attention from the SE community. Paradoxically, the HPC CSE community has increasingly been adopting SE techniques and tools. Indeed, the development of CSE software for HPC differs significantly from the development of more traditional business information systems, from which many SE best practices and tools have been drawn. Development of HPC CSE software requires tailoring of SE tools/methods developed for more traditional software applications to fit the requirements of HPC applications.

The SE-HPCCSE workshop addresses this need by bringing together members of the SE and HPC CSE communities to share perspectives, present findings from research and practice, and generate an agenda to improve tools and practices for developing HPC CSE software.

Scope and Aims
------------------------
This workshop is concerned with identifying the problems faced by those working with HPC Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) applications, and understanding how appropriate software engineering (SE) tools and practices might be applied to support the development of HPC CSE applications. These applications include large parallel models/simulations of the physical world running on HPC systems, and applications that analyze and/or manipulate large amounts of data.

The organizing committee hopes for participation from a broad range of stakeholders from across the SE, CSE, and HPC communities on topics including:
Identification of the differences in development of software between business IT environments and research environments like HPC/CSE
The challenges of communicating (ideas. common pieces of work, requirements, functionality, practice) between people with SE and CSE backgrounds
SE tools and practices which are suited for HPC CSE applications
Measuring the impact of SE techniques or tools on “scientific productivity”
SE education and training gaps that prevent the development of HPC CSE applications
Special foci of this workshop edition
In addition to the traditional goals of this workshop series, the 2016 edition will have two special foci for which we specifically solicit papers.
Quality Assurance for scientific software development, and considerations of any particular techniques to improve the adoption of such process.
Experience reports (including positive, negative, and neutral) of applying software engineering practices to the development of scientific software. It is as important to understand which SE practices do not work in science contexts as those which do.
We invite both full papers (8-page) and shorter position/experience reports (4-page) that will be used to organize panel and group discussion sessions and be published in advance of the workshop to inform all attendees. We especially encourage members of the HPC and CSE communities to submit practical experience papers.

Papers on other related topics are also welcome. Please contact the organizers with any questions about the relevance of particular topics.

A workshop report will be produced which summarizes the workshops findings, and revised papers will be invited to be published in the workshop proceedings following the event.

Submission Deadline: August 15, 2016
Submission information can be found on the website (http://se4science.org/workshops/sehpccse16/)

Overview

Enterprise-scale cloud platforms and services systems present common and cross-cutting challenges in maximizing power efficiency and performance while maintaining predictable and reliable behavior, and at the same time responding appropriately to environmental and system changes such as hardware failures and varying workloads. Autonomic computing systems address the challenges in managing these environments by integrating monitoring, decision-processing and actuation capabilities to autonomously manage resources and applications based on high-level policies.

Research in cloud and autonomic computing spans a variety of areas, from distributed systems, computer architecture, middleware services, databases and data-stores, networks, machine learning, and control theory. The purpose of the Fourth International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC) is to bring together researchers and practitioners across these disciplines to address the multiple facets of cloud and autonomic computing.

Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to cloud and autonomic computing and their intersections, including those that bear on connections and relationships among different research areas or report on prototype systems or experiences. The goal is to continue our international forum focused on the latest research, applications, and technologies aimed at making cloud and autonomic computing systems and services easy to design, to deploy, and to implement, while also being self-manageable, self-regulating and scalable with little involvement of humans or system administrators.

Call for paper

Second International Workshop on Fault Tolerant Systems (FTS) September 16th.

To be held in conjunction with IEEE Cluster 2016, September 12-16 in Taiwan.


SCOPE

Fault Tolerance is a cross-cutting issue that spans all layers of the hardware/software stack, and hence, requires coupled improvements in each layer and co-design between the different layers. FTS aims at providing a venue for researchers to share experiences across the hardware/software layers and attendees to get a holistic view of fault tolerance techniques, especially with a focus on HPC and parallel computing.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

The focus areas for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
  • Techniques for predicting, detecting, and correcting silent data corruption
  • Hardware failure prediction and recovery techniques
  • Novel hardware design for fault mitigation
  • Programming interfaces and libraries to facilitate resilience of parallel executions
  • Resilient algorithm design for application level fault tolerance
  • Failure modeling and analysis
  • Checkpoint/restart model
  • Replication model
  • Fault injection techniques for improved tool development
  • Hardware and software fault detection and reporting systems
  • Fault tolerance for coupled executions, workflows, and in situ data analytics
  • Algorithms for performance optimization in the presence of faults
  • Techniques and algorithms for rollback recovery


PROCEEDINGS

Proceedings of this workshop will be published in CD format and will be available at the conference (together with the IEEE Cluster conference proceedings). The accepted papers will be included in and indexed by the IEEE CS digital library.


JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

Test best papers of FTS-2016 will be included in a special issue on Fault Tolerant Systems in an appropriate international journal.
