5th Annual Workshop on Extreme-scale Experiment-in-the-Loop Computing

                            XLOOP 2023

At SC 2023 --- November 12, 2023 --- Denver, Colorado, USA


Continued advances in computational power and high-speed networking is

enabling a new model of scientific experiment, experiment-in-the-loop

computing (EILC).  In this model, high-end computing systems are closely

coupled to experimental and observational infrastructure, and the two

interact to drive a deeper understanding of physical phenomena.  At the

same time, advances and widespread adoption of machine learning enables

new ways to register and use experimental data.


Several research and development challenges are posed by this

multifaceted paradigm, many of which are independent of the particular

scientific application domain.  New algorithms to integrate simulation

outputs and experimental data sets must be developed. High performance

data management and transfer techniques must be developed to manage and

manipulate simulated and observed data sets.  Workflows must be

constructed with high levels of usability and understandability to

enable scientific post-analysis and improvement of the computing solution.


The Workshop on Experiment-in-the-Loop Computing (XLOOP 2023) will be a

unique opportunity to promote this cross-cutting, interdisciplinary

topic area.  We invite papers, presentations, and participants from

the physical and computer sciences, and encourage the sharing of

ideas from across these domains to find common solutions and

technologies to make rapid progress in EILC, so that many application

areas can easily adopt these methods.


The proceedings of the workshop will be submitted for publishing to IEEE 
CPS.
