CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on Parallel Optimization using/for Multi and
Many-core High Performance Computing (POMCO 2016)
<http://hpcs2016.cisedu.info/2-conference/workshops---hpcs2016/workshop20-pomm>
http://hpcs2016.cisedu.info/2-conference/workshops---hpcs2016/workshop20-pomm
As part of The International Conference on High Performance Computing &
Simulation (HPCS 2016)
July 18 – July 22, 2016
The University of Innsbruck
Innsbruck, Austria
*Submission Deadline: April 14, 2016*
=============================================================================
*SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES *
On the road to exascale, multi-core processors and many-core
accelerators/coprocessors are increasingly becoming key-building blocks of
many computing platforms including laptops, high performance workstations,
clusters, grids, and clouds. On the other hand, plenty of hard problems in
a wide range of areas including engineering design, telecommunications,
logistics and transportation, biology, energy, etc., are often modeled and
tackled using optimization approaches. These approaches include greedy
algorithms, exact methods (dynamic programming, Branch-and-X, constraint
programming, A*, etc.) and meta-heuristics (evolutionary algorithms,
particle swarm, ant or bee colonies, simulated annealing, Tabu search,
etc.). In many research works, optimization techniques are used to address
high performance computing (HPC) issues including HPC hardware design,
compiling, scheduling, auto-tuning, etc. On the other hand, optimization
problems become increasingly large and complex, forcing the use of parallel
computing for their efficient and effective resolution. The design and
implementation of parallel optimization methods raise several issues such
as load balancing, data locality and placement, fault tolerance,
scalability, thread divergence, etc.
This workshop seeks to provide an opportunity for the researchers to
present their original contributions on the joint use of advanced (discrete
or continuous, single or multi-objective, static or dynamic, deterministic
or stochastic, hybrid) optimization methods and distributed and/or parallel
multi/many-core computing, and any related issues.
*The POMCO Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following*:
- Parallel models (island, master-worker, multi-start, etc.) for
optimization methods revisited for multi-core and/or many-core (MMC)
environments.
- Parallelization techniques and advanced data structures for exact
(e.g. tree-based) optimization methods.
- Parallel mechanisms for hybridization of optimization algorithms on
MMC environments
- Parallel strategies for handling uncertainty, robustness and dynamic
nature of optimization methods.
- Implementation issues of parallel optimization methods on MMC
workstations, MMC clusters, MMC grids/clouds, etc.
- Software frameworks for the design and implementation of parallel
and/or distributed MMC optimization algorithms
- Computational/theoretical studies reporting results on solving
challenging problems using MMC computing
- Energy-aware optimization for/with MMC parallel and/or distributed
optimization methods
- Optimization techniques for efficient compiling, scheduling, etc. for
MMC environments
- Optimization techniques for scheduling, compiling, auto-tuning for MMC
clusters, MMC grids/clouds, etc.
*INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS*
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above
and other topics related to *Parallel Computing and Algorithms for
Simulation and Optimization*. Submitted papers must not have been published
or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. For Regular papers, please submit a
PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column formatted
pages per template, and include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more
than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission
should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax
numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email addresses. Please, indicate
clearly the corresponding author(s) although all authors are equally
responsible for the manuscript. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers
and posters (please refer to
http://hpcs2016.cisedu.info/1-call-for-papers/call-for-posters for posters
submission details) will also be considered. Please specify the type of
submission you have. Please include page numbers on all preliminary
submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.
Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript to the workshop paper submission
EasyChair site at <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pohpc2016>
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pohpc2016. Acknowledgement will be
sent within 48 hours of submission.
Only PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the submission link above.
Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be
selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical
clarity and presentation, and references. Submission implies the
willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the
paper, if accepted. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper
will have to register and attend the HPCS 2016 conference to present the
paper at the workshop.
*Proceedings*
Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings.
Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on
the HPCS 2016 Conference web site. It is our intent to have the proceedings
formally published in hard and soft copies and be available at the time of
the conference. The proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE
Digital Library and indexed in all major indexing services accordingly.
*SPECIAL ISSUE*
Selected best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their
work in a special issue of the Elsevier Journal of Parallel and Distributed
Computing
<http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-computing/>
(JPDC).
