From iraicu at cs.iit.edu Sat Jul 25 09:12:41 2015 From: iraicu at cs.iit.edu (Ioan Raicu) Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2015 09:12:41 -0500 Subject: [Swift-devel] CFP: IEEE/ACM Int. Symp. on Big Data Computing (BDC) 2015 -- final deadline extension to August 7th Message-ID: <55B39959.2060306@cs.iit.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Big Data Computing (BDC) 2015 http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/BDC2015/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 7-10, 2015 St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus Co-located with 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing ======================================================================================= Rapid advances in digital sensors, networks, storage, and computation along with their availability at low cost is leading to the creation of huge collections of data -- dubbed as Big Data. This data has the potential for enabling new insights that can change the way business, science, and governments deliver services to their consumers and can impact society as a whole. This has led to the emergence of the Big Data Computing paradigm focusing on sensing, collection, storage, management and analysis of data from variety of sources to enable new value and insights. To realize the full potential of Big Data Computing, we need to address several challenges and develop suitable conceptual and technological solutions for dealing them. These include life-cycle management of data, large-scale storage, flexible processing infrastructure, data modeling, scalable machine learning and data analysis algorithms, techniques for sampling and making trade-off between data processing time and accuracy, and dealing with privacy and ethical issues involved in data sensing, storage, processing, and actions. The International Symposium on Big Data Computing (BDC) 2015 -- held in conjunction with 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC) 2015, December 7-10, 2015, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus, aims at bringing together international researchers, developers, policy makers, and users and to provide an international forum to present leading research activities, technical solutions, and results on a broad range of topics related to Big Data Computing paradigms, platforms and their applications. The conference features keynotes, technical presentations, posters, and workshops. TOPICS: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I.

You're receiving this message as a list owner of a list housed at lists.ci.uchicago.edu. Specifically, the following list: Swift-devel at ci.uchicago.edu, Last post at Sat Jul 25 09:12:44 2015. https://lists.ci.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/Swift-devel (Note the above link also contains a link to any archives of the list as well.) If you do nothing, the list will stop working at end of July. Any archives that exist will disappear when the server is retired at that point. Mail sent to Swift-devel at ci.uchicago.edu and Swift-devel at lists.ci.uchicago.edu will bounce, and the sender will receive a notice that the address is no longer valid. If you want to retain and move the list, your best option is to create a new list on the service of your choice (for example, ITS provides mailing lists at https://itservices.uchicago.edu/services/mailing-lists). We don't have a way to automate this process of moving from one service to another, unfortunately. However, if you'd like a raw text dump of your existing configuration and membership, we can provide that, simply let us know. Otherwise, the web UI to see your existing configuration and membership can be found at https://lists.ci.uchicago.edu/mailman/admin/Swift-devel. If you've forgotten the password for your list, please let us know and we'll reset it. Once you've got your new list configured and ready, if you'd like we can point the existing listname Swift-devel at ci.uchicago.edu to that new address. Or you can simply switch to using the new address, whatever that may be. If you want the archives of your old CI list, let us know. We can provide the raw archives (including static HTML files) for you to use as you wish. We do not have a method of transferring the archives to whatever list provider you choose to use for your new list, however. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience. -- Michael Wilde Mathematics and Computer Science Computation Institute Argonne National Laboratory The University of Chicago -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From iraicu at cs.iit.edu Thu Jul 30 09:00:29 2015 From: iraicu at cs.iit.edu (Ioan Raicu) Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 09:00:29 -0500 Subject: [Swift-devel] CFP: 8th Workshop on Many-Task Computing on Clouds, Grids, and Supercomputers (MTAGS) 2015 -- co-located with IEEE/ACM Supercomputing/SC 2015 Message-ID: <55BA2DFD.2010200@cs.iit.edu> Call for Papers --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 8th Workshop on Many-Task Computing on Clouds, Grids, and Supercomputers (MTAGS) 2015 http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/MTAGS15/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 15th, 2015 Austin, Texas, USA Co-located with with IEEE/ACM International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC15) ======================================================================================= The 8th workshop on Many-Task Computing on Clouds, Grids, and Supercomputers (MTAGS) will provide the scientific community a dedicated forum for presenting new research, development, and deployment efforts of large-scale many-task computing (MTC) applications on large scale clusters, Grids, Supercomputers, and Cloud Computing infrastructure. MTC, the theme of the workshop encompasses loosely coupled applications, which are generally composed of many tasks (both independent and dependent tasks) to achieve some larger application goal. This workshop will cover challenges that can hamper efficiency and utilization in running applications on large-scale systems, such as local resource manager scalability and granularity, efficient utilization of raw hardware, parallel file system contention and scalability, data management, I/O management, reliability at scale, and application scalability. We welcome paper submissions on all theoretical, simulations, and systems topics related to MTC, but we give special consideration to papers addressing petascale to exascale challenges. Papers will be peer-reviewed for novelty, scientific merit, and scope for the workshop. The workshop will be co-located with the IEEE/ACM Supercomputing 2015 Conference in Austin Texas on November 15th, 2015. For more information, please see http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/MTAGS15/. For more information on past workshops, please see MTAGS14, MTAGS13, MTAGS12, MTAGS11, MTAGS10, MTAGS09, and MTAGS08. We also ran a Special Issue on Many-Task Computing in the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) which appeared in June 2011; the proceedings can be found online at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/abs/trans/td/2011/06/ttd201106toc.htm. We are also currently assembling a new special issue in the IEEE Transaction on Cloud Computing on Many-Task Computing in the Cloud, see http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/TCC-MTC15/index.html for more information. We, the workshop organizers, also published a highly relevant paper that defines Many-Task Computing which was published in MTAGS08, titled ?Many-Task Computing for Grids and Supercomputers?; we encourage potential authors to read this paper, and to clearly articulate in your paper submissions how your papers are related to Many-Task Computing. Topics --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite the submission of original work that is related to the topics below. The papers should be 6 pages, including all figures and references. We aim to cover topics related to Many-Task Computing on each of the three major distributed systems paradigms, Cloud Computing, Grid Computing and Supercomputing. Topics of interest include: * Compute Resource Management * Scheduling * Job execution frameworks * Local resource manager extensions * Performance evaluation of resource managers in use on large scale systems * Dynamic resource provisioning * Techniques to manage many-core resources and/or GPUs * Challenges and opportunities in running many-task workloads on HPC systems * Challenges and opportunities in running many-task workloads on Cloud Computing infrastructure * Storage architectures and implementations * Distributed file systems * Parallel file systems * Distributed meta-data management * Content distribution systems for large data * Data caching frameworks and techniques * Data management within and across data centers * Data-aware scheduling * Data-intensive computing applications * Eventual-consistency storage usage and management * Programming models and tools * Map-reduce and its generalizations * Many-task computing middleware and applications * Parallel programming frameworks * Ensemble MPI techniques and frameworks * Service-oriented science applications * Large-Scale Workflow Systems * Workflow system performance and scalability analysis * Scalability of workflow systems * Workflow infrastructure and e-Science middleware * Programming Paradigms and Models * Large-Scale Many-Task Applications * High-throughput computing (HTC) applications * Data-intensive applications * Quasi-supercomputing applications, deployments, and experiences * Performance Evaluation * Performance evaluation * Real systems * Simulations * Reliability of large systems Paper Submission and Publication --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not more than 6 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines; document templates can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. The final 6 page papers in PDF format must be submitted online at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/MTAGS2015/ before the deadline. Papers will be peer-reviewed for novelty, scientific merit, and scope for the workshop. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
