7th Annual Workshop on Extreme-scale Experiment-in-the-Loop Computing

At SC 2025 --- Sunday, November 16, 2025 --- St. Louis, MO, 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 2025) 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.
