At SC 2024 --- November 17-22, 2024 --- Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Continued advances in computational power and high-speed networking are 
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 2024) 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.
