ABOUT AI4Sys:
AI/ML are being incorporated into all aspects of the scientific and
engineering process. One early effort area has been to augment
existing autonomic system components with AI models that can offer
finer-grained and continuously updated automation behavior. Work has
been done to try to predict IO behavior to enable more efficient
machine throughput, log monitoring to detect patterns that may reveal
either security concerns or faulty components that fail in consistent,
but unusual ways, and to manage applications and caches to better
address the system as a whole rather than at an individual component
level.  All of these, and many more, system-related tasks address a
complex, sometimes intractable problem, and seek to use AI tools to
offer better solutions than either heuristics or point solutions that
have existed previously.

CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------------------

This workshop solicits novel work that explores how to effectively
incorporate AI into system management and monitoring, particularly for
complex systems that support scientific and engineering workloads
(i.e., cloud and HPC). Areas of interest and domains of work include,
but are not limited to:

1) tools and runtimes for incorporating AI into systems
2) privacy and security concerns for managing system data used for
model creation
3) continuous model evolution and the impacts of chasing current
workloads on a dynamic system
4) AI algorithms for systems problems
5) Subsystem related optimizations including operating systems, data
migration, storage, job management, resource allocation, and related
topics
6) Position and experience papers on using AI in systems

Papers will be in the ACM conference format no more than 5 pages long
including everything except references.

- Submission Deadline (firm): March 30, 2024 AoE
- Responses to Authors: April 13, 2024
