To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 32229 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF WORLDCOMP: As of February 5, 2012, papers published in WORLDCOMP set of proceedings have received 20,405 citations. In recent months (November 23, 2011 to February 5, 2012; ie, in about 75 days), there had been 4,545 citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 1,800 citations per month). The above record is significant (thanks to the authors). As the result of high impact (based on citations) of WORLDCOMP papers, "Microsoft Academic Search" has listed each individual track of the congress among its compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation record of WORLDCOMP set of proceedings is in fact higher than the citation data of many reputable journals in computer science and computer engineering.

CONFERENCE LOCATION Advances in Modal Logic 2012 will be held at the IDA conference centre in downtown Copenhagen: http://ida.dk/sites/moedecenter/english/Sider/EnglishForside.aspx This is in easy walking distance from Copenhagen Central Station and a number of reasonably priced hotels. PAPER SUBMISSIONS There will be two types of submissions to AiML-2012: (1) Full papers for publication in the proceedings and presentation at the conference. (2) Abstracts for short presentation only. Both types of papers should be submitted electronically using the EasyChair submission page at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiml2012 At least one author of each accepted paper of abstract must register for, and attend, the conference to present his or her work. (1) FULL PAPERS. Authors are invited to submit, for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings, full papers reporting on original research and not submitted elsewhere. The proceedings of AiML'2012 will be published by College Publications (http://www.collegepublications.co.uk) in a volume to be made available at the conference. The submissions should be at most 15 pages, with an optional technical appendix of up to 5 pages, together with a plain-text abstract of 100-200 words. The submissions must be typeset in LaTeX, using a style file and template that will be provided on the AiML'2012 website. (2) ABSTRACTS. These should be at most 5 pages. They may describe preliminary results, work in progress etc., and will be subject to light reviewing. The accepted abstracts will be made available at the conference, and the authors will have the opportunity to make short presentations (of up to 15 minutes) on them. SPECIAL SESSION ON HYBRID LOGIC. Hybrid logic is an extension of modal logic allowing to refer explicitly to states of the model in the syntax of formulas. There will be a special session of AiML devoted to papers on hybrid logic. The scope of the special session is standard hybrid-logical machinery like nominals, satisfaction operators, and the downarrow binder, but also other extensions of modal logic can be considered. SPECIAL SESSION IN HONOUR OF LARISA MAKSIMOVA. There will be a special session of AiML devoted to papers and talks in honour of Larisa Maksimova, in recognition of her many outstanding contributions to modal logic. SPECIAL SESSION ON MODALITIES FOR TYPES. Recent years have witnessed significant growth of interest in constructive type-theoretical modalities, in particular modalities ensuring productivity and type safety of (co-)recursive definitions in reactive programming. Some earlier examples include the use of modalities for staged computation, metaprogramming or in computational lambda-calculus. In order to boost interaction between programming, type-theoretical and modal communities, AiML 2012 will host a special session on these topics. Papers for this session should be submitted to the EasyChair site along with others. Papers for the special sessions should be submitted to the EasyChair site along with others.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ICPP workshop] CloudTech-HPC, Pittsburgh, PA, September 10-13, 2012 Datum: Sun, 12 Feb 2012 07:31:28 +0800 Von: cfp(a)grid.chu.edu.tw An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at (We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email) *********************************************************************** Call for Papers International Workshop on Cloud Technologies for High Performance Computing (CloudTech-HPC) http://sites.google.com/site/cloudtechpc/ Pittsburgh, PA, September 10-13, 2012 in conjunction with The 41st International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP 2012) http://www.icpp2012.org/ Introduction High Performance Computing (HPC) involves the design of system architecture, tuning of software environment, construction of mathematical models and numerical solution techniques for solving scientific, social scientific and engineering problems. It often requires a huge number of computing and storage resources to perform large-scale analyses and experiments. In general, different scientific experiments also have to be reorganized or redesigned their computing models for making use of the HPC system. Cloud computing can address many of the aforementioned concerns. By means of cloud technologies, users can access to massive computing and storage resources and can customize their computing environment for offering a variety of services. Moreover, by using the pay per use model, users can scale up or down the computing infrastructure according to their requirements and budget without deploying actual physical infrastructure. They could get access to their own virtualized HPC cluster in a self-service, dynamically scalable and fully configurable environment. Such a computing paradigm provides a flexible high performance computing environment. However, there is some performance gap between cloud computing and the traditional HPC environments. Therefore, the performance of running the high performance applications in clouds comparing with the traditional HPC infrastructure should be a concern. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in cloud technologies for high performance computing.

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 67969 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF WORLDCOMP: As of February 5, 2012, papers published in WORLDCOMP set of proceedings have received 20,405 citations. In recent months (November 23, 2011 to February 5, 2012; ie, in about 75 days), there had been 4,545 citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 1,800 citations per month). The above record is significant (thanks to the authors). As the result of high impact (based on citations) of WORLDCOMP papers, "Microsoft Academic Search" has listed each individual track of the congress among its compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation record of WORLDCOMP set of proceedings is in fact higher than the citation data of many reputable journals in computer science and computer engineering.

The length of the final Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (two-column IEEE style) pages. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program committee will be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees by using a double-blinded review process. In addition, all papers whose authors include a member of the conference program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels). Proceedings of SAM will be published in printed conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each published paper (science citation databases such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering& Technology; The French National Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (covers the core scientific literature in Science; about 90% of inclusions are journals; only about 9% are proceedings; worldcomp tracks are selected to be among the 9% - accessable from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN International); and others. Though, there is no guarantee that the proceedings will also be included in EI Compendex/Elsevier indexings, in the past, SAM proceedings were included in these databases. Therefore, we will also be sending the proceedings for indexing procedures to EI Compendex/Elsevier. The printed proceedings/books will be available for distribution on site at the conference. In addition to the publication of the proceedings, selected authors will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for publication in a number of research books contracted with various publishers (such as, Springer, Elsevier, ...) - these books will be composed after the conference.

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 32229 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF WORLDCOMP: As of February 5, 2012, papers published in WORLDCOMP set of proceedings have received 20,405 citations. In recent months (November 23, 2011 to February 5, 2012; ie, in about 75 days), there had been 4,545 citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 1,800 citations per month). The above record is significant (thanks to the authors). As the result of high impact (based on citations) of WORLDCOMP papers, "Microsoft Academic Search" has listed each individual track of the congress among its compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation record of WORLDCOMP set of proceedings is in fact higher than the citation data of many reputable journals in computer science and computer engineering.
