CALL FOR PAPERS

*********************************************************
PAISE 2019: 1st Workshop on Parallel AI and Systems for the Edge

Held in conjunction with IPDPS 2019
Friday, 24 May 2019
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
*********************************************************

Background:
----------

Applications involving voluminous data but needing low-latency computation and
local feedback require that the computing be performed as close to the data
source as possible --- often at the interface to the physical world. Communication
constraints and the need for privacy-preserving approaches also dictate the need
for computing at the edge. Given the growth in such application scenarios and
the recent advances in algorithms and techniques, machine learning and inference
at the edge are unfolding and growing at a rapid pace. In support of these
applications, a wide range of hardware (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs) is venturing
farther away from the center, closer to the physical world. The resulting diversity 
inedge-computing hardware in terms of capabilities, architectures, and programming
models poses several new challenges.

The goal of this workshop is to gather the community working in three broad areas:

    1. processing -- artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning;
    2. management -- parallel and distributed programming models for
    resource-constrained and domain-specific hardware, containers, remote
    resource management, runtime-system design, and cybersecurity; and
    3. hardware -- systems and devices conducive to use in resource-constrained
    (energy, space, etc.) applications.

The workshop will provide a critically needed opportunity to discuss the current
trends and issues, to share visions, and to present solutions.

Topics:
------

For this workshop we welcome original work covering different aspects of:

    1.Edge Inference
    2.Hardware for Edge-computing and Machine Learning
    3.Energy Efficient Processors for Training and Inference
    4.Computer Vision at the Edge
    5.Cyber Security for Edge Computing
    6.Software and Hardware Multitenancy at the Edge
    7.Machine Learning Hardware
    8.Blockchains for Edge Computing
    9.Programming Models for Edge Computing
    10.Coupling HPC to Edge Applications
    11.Communication and Control Strategies for Deploying and Managing Applications
        at the Edge

Paper Submission, Paper Style, and Proceedings:
----------------------------------------------

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal
or conference. The papers submitted to the workshop will be peer reviewed by a
minimum of 3 reviewers.

The following paper categories are welcome:

    * Full Papers: Research papers should describe original work and be 8 or 10
    pages in length.

    * Short Papers: Short research papers, 4 pages in length, should contain
    enough information for the program committee to understand the scope of the
    project and evaluate the novelty of the problem or approach.

    * Emerging Platforms and Practitioner Reports: Short reports, 3-6 pages in
    length, describing novel hardware and Software platforms, including initial
    proof-of-concept design and implementation are welcome. Reports may also focus
    on a particular aspect of technology usage in practice, or describe broad
    project experiences. They may describe a particular design idea, or experience
    with a particular piece of technology.
