           First Workshop on Applications of Machine Learning and
             Artificial Intelligence in High-Performance Computing

                                   https://bit.ly/waml-hpc

                       Held in conjunction with PPAM 2022
       Gdansk, Poland - September 11-14, 2022 - https://ppam.edu.pl
     ****************************************************************************

Machine learning and artificial intelligence methods have become
pervasive in recent years due to numerous algorithmic advances and the
accessibility of computational power. In HPC, these methods have been
used to replace, accelerate or enhance existing solvers. This workshop
focuses on AI-based solutions to increase performance, reduce energy
consumption, or increase the accuracy in HPC applications or tools.
WAML-HPC22 is the first workshop jointly organized with the PPAM
conference.

The topics include, but are not limited to:
       * Disruptive uses of HPC technologies in the field of AI, ML, or DL.
       * Integration of predictive models to improve performance of
scientific applications in terms of execution time and/or simulation
accuracy.
       * Workflow of applying AI/ML/DL to scientific applications in
HPC infrastructures.
       * Characterization and study on how to use HPC techniques with AI/ML/DL.
       * HPC Tools and infrastructure to improve the usability of
AI/ML/DL to scientific applications.
       * Optimized HPC systems design and setup for efficient AI/ML/DL.

Paper Submission and Publication
       * All rules of paper submission of the PPAM conference apply.
In particular:
       * Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their
scientific merit and relevance to the Workshop topics.
       * Papers presented at the Workshop will be included into the
conference proceedings and published after the conference by Springer
in the LNCS series.
       * Before the Workshop, abstracts of accepted papers will be
posted on this site.
       * Authors should submit papers (PDF files) using the online
submission tool
       * Papers are not to exceed 10 pages (LNCS style)

Alternatively, abstracts of the size 500 – 800 words or original
papers, are invited for the Workshop. The latter should be prepared
according to the Springer LNCS and PPAM 2022 rules. The authors of
accepted abstracts can feature their contributions in the oral
session, but only papers presented at PPAM 2022 will be included in
the proceedings.

Important Dates
   * Paper due May 6, 2022
   * Notification of acceptance June 17, 2022
   * Conference: September 11-14, 2022
   * Camera-ready: November 2, 2022

We are committed to hosting WAML-HPC workshop held in conjunction with
PPAM 2022 on-site and will fulfill all the safety standards prescribed
by the government and health authorities pertaining to Covid-19.
Therefore, we strongly encourage submissions from people who plan to
attend the conference in person. For those who cannot travel, we will
offer the possibility of remote participation.

Regards,
Krzysztof and Sergio.
