Fwd: [computational.science] [Call for Papers] Programming Model Alternatives to Message Passing (PMAMP)-2017
by Gustaf Neumann 15 May '17

15 May '17

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] [Call for Papers] Programming Model Alternatives to Message Passing (PMAMP)-2017 Datum: Mon, 15 May 2017 17:56:26 +0000 Von: Emani, Murali <emani1(a)llnl.gov> An: computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Call for papers First Annual Workshop on Programming Model Alternatives to Message Passing (PMAMP)-2017 September 25, 2017, Chicago, IL in collaboration with EuroMPI/USA 2017 https://memani1.github.io/pmamp17/ Overview: Message-passing programming models have dominated high-performance computing (HPC) for the past quarter century. With the continued breakdown of the (uniform) communicating sequential processors abstract machine model, many researchers have questioned the continued viability of message passing as a model for direct, application-level interaction. Recent years have seen an explosion of new paradigms in programming models for distributed-memory computing. The move to the next generation of HPC platforms presents a wider variety of challenges than ever before, that include the increased need for asynchrony, increased heterogeneity and performance non-uniformity, decreased hardware reliability and increased failure rates, increased hardware diversity, and the maintainability of increasingly complex scientific code bases. This workshop proposes to promote a dialogue between researchers who work on extensions or augmentations to message-passing models (the “evolutionary” crowd) to alternative programming models and to expose those who develop fundamentally different programming models (the “revolutionary” crowd) to the recent advances in message-passing programming models. It aims to help understand the relative importance of the concerns these new approaches address. The workshop seeks to garner a better understanding of key motivations for alternative programming models, key insights from advances in message passing (and how they can be applied to alternative models), and key opportunities for collaboration between researchers on both sides. Topics: We solicit preliminary work on programming models that offer extensions or alternatives to message passing, with emphasis on addressing emerging concerns in high performance computing (HPC), including topics relating to (but are not restricted to) the following: * Asynchrony * Heterogeneity * Performance non-uniformity * Fault-tolerance and resilience * Performance portability: a posteriori adaptability (“one code for many machines”) in situ adaptability (reactive and dynamic runtime system solutions) * Maintainability (particularly in the presence of these other challenges) * Testability and debuggability (particularly in the presence of these other challenges) * Experimental comparative results (particularly with emphasis on overall time-to-solution) * Relevance of alternate programming models to particular scientific kernels Also, we solicit position papers on analyzing the importance (or lack thereof) of the above topics for the future of HPC, again with emphasis on the need (or lack thereof) to address these concerns at the programming model level (thus, for instance, arguments for why the challenges can be addressed at other levels of the software stack without programming model intervention will also be considered). Important Dates: * Paper submission: June 15, 2017 * Author Notification: July 10, 2017 * Camera-ready papers due: July 30, 2017 * Workshop Date: September 25, 2017 Committee: Workshop Organizers: · David S Hollman, Sandia National Laboratory · Murali Emani, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Program Committee: (Preliminary) * Abhinav Bhatele, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory * Alex Aiken, Stanford * Jesper Larsson Träff, TU Wien * Karl Fuerlinger, LMU Munich * Ron Brightwell, Sandia National Laboratory * Zoran Budimlic, Rice University * Hartmut Kaiser, Louisiana State University * Sean Treichler, Nvidia * Bryce Adelstein Lelbach, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory * Martin Schulz, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Submission: Interested authors are encouraged to submit full papers (8-10 pages) or short/position papers (4 pages) in "sigconf" style in the ACM 2017 template.

Fwd: [AISWorld] JAIS / CfP: Accumulation and Evolution of Knowledge in Design Science Research

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] JAIS / CfP: Accumulation and Evolution of Knowledge in Design Science Research Datum: Sat, 13 May 2017 10:53:24 +0000 Von: vom Brocke Jan <jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> JAIS - Journal of the Association for Information Systems Special Issue on Accumulation and Evolution of Knowledge in Design Science Research GUEST EDITORS Jan vom Brocke, University of Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein, jan.vom.brocke(a)uni.li Alan R. Hevner, University of South Florida, USA, ahevner(a)usf.edu Alexander Maedche, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, alexander.maedche(a)kit.edu Robert Winter, University of St.Gallen, Switzerland, robert.winter(a)unisg.ch BACKGROUND Sir Isaac Newton once famously said that he has only seen further by “standing on the shoulders of giants.” Research is a collaborative endeavor – and this is no different with design science research (DSR), which develops and builds upon design knowledge. Design knowledge is about means-end-relations between problem and solution spaces (Venable et al. 2006) and can take different forms such as designed artifacts (Hevner et al. 2004), design principles (Chandra et al. 2015), or design theories (Gregor and Jones 2007). More recently, the potential of DSR to contribute to the solution of real-word problems has been pointed out more often, and that this is considered an opportunity to demonstrate relevance of IS as an academic field (Watson et al. 2010, vom Brocke et al. 2013, Lee 2015). In particular, the recent MISQ Editorial on the Diversity of DSR (Rai 2017) highlights many diverse opportunities to effectively apply DSR for the solution of important information systems research challenges. Based on high-impact design practice over several decades, the methodological reflection of DSR in the information systems research community has made significant progress during recent years so that researchers now can start from a sound foundation (including, e.g., Hevner et al. 2004; Peffers et al. 2007; Gregor & Hevner 2015). It is the right time to foster knowledge creation from actual DSR studies, which significantly advance our understanding of information systems design, use and impact. For a research community, systematic knowledge generation across multiple DSR projects plays an important role. While in the past, most studies reported on single DSR projects, future work needs to pay attention to knowledge accumulation and evolution across multiple projects. We exemplify this focus by two challenges: First, it is often difficult to assess the re-use potential of design solutions to different yet related problems. Given today`s DSR methodology and practice, it is hard to tell to what extent a problem space of interest would relate to other problem spaces; and ,similarly, how a solution would relate to other solutions. Achieving ‘projectability’ of designed artifacts (Baskerville & Pries-Heje 2014) is different from achieving generalizability of descriptive statements. In this call, we therefore seek contributions, which demonstrate that DSR can systematically support re-use and how ‘related’ design problems (and solutions) can be identified. Second, it is often difficult to scope and document DSR comprehensively because relevant real-life problems and solutions are highly complex. It is necessary that large problems or artefacts are jointly covered by different sub-projects and/or researchers, allowing knowledge accumulation across projects and between researchers. In this call, we therefore seek contributions, which demonstrate that knowledge accumulation can be achieved across projects, application areas, or levels of abstraction in order to systematically advance our understanding of the design of information systems as problem and solution spaces evolve over time and space. We particularly invite studies that apply the DSR paradigm (also referred to as Design Research studies, see Winter 2008), and that serve as exemplars to demonstrate challenges and solutions for knowledge aggregation and evolution in DSR. These studies will shape the community’s understanding of accumulative design knowledge and design knowledge re-use, enabling future methodology improvements towards a more collaborative endeavor, as expressed in the famous quote of Sir Isaac Newton.

The consortium has three primary objectives: - Provide networking opportunities for students with peers and faculty - Help students strategize about their research, teaching and career plans - Prepare students for the job market. The program includes six faculty panels, three for the Senior Doctoral Students and three for the Mid-Stage Doctoral Students track. Panels focus on managing the dissertation and research program, teaching responsibilities and competencies, and career planning. In breakout sessions after each panel, small groups of students will discuss the panel topic with their faculty mentors and fellow students. The intent is for students to apply the panel topic to their personal and professional goals, with input from faculty mentors and peers. We will wrap-up with a discussion of how the lessons might be applied while also achieving an effective work-life balance. The doctoral consortium will be held at the conference hotel on Thursday August 10, 2017. Participation is free for all registered AMCIS attendees. Students wishing to participate in the AMCIS 2017 Doctoral Consortium should: 1. Be studying Information Systems (or related discipline) and plan to address an Information Systems-related topic for their dissertation. 2. Have completed at least the first year of their doctoral program. The AMCIS 2017 DC is more inclusive than previous years where the AMCIS consortium was focused on PhD students entering the job market. PhD students in the mid-stage of their program (typically after year 1 but before dissertation) and senior stage (typically during dissertation) of their doctoral studies are encouraged to apply. Preliminary Faculty Counselor List: Samir Chatterjee, Claremont Graduate University Fay Cobb Payton, North Carolina State University Wendy Currie, Audencia Business School Camille Grange, HEC Montreal Lakshmi Iyer, University of North Carolina Greensboro Bill Kettinger, University of Memphis Gondy Leroy, University of Arizona Lynne Markus, Bentley University (keynote) Lars Mathiassen, Georgia State University Juan Gomez Reynoso, Universidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes Eileen Trauth, The Pennsylvania State University Monica Tremblay, Florida International University Paul Witman, California Lutheran UniversityApplication Criteria Consortium co-chairs will review each application. The review process emphasizes applicants’ accomplishments and potential. Students cannot apply to a track in which they have previously participated—that is, students who have participated in the mid-stage track cannot apply to this track but can apply to the senior student track. Multiple students may apply from one school. Diversity of applicants, institutions and countries will be considered in selecting the AMCIS 2017 Doctoral Consortium cohort. Priority will be given to students studying at universities in the AIS Americas region although students from other AIS regions will be included if space is available. Application Process Collate the following materials in one integrated PDF document: - Cover sheet (no more than 1 page) with your name, address, email, year in which you started the program and a brief (1 para) description of your research interests (mid-stage applicants) or dissertation abstract (senior stage applicants). - Letter of recommendation from faculty advisor - Curriculum vita Submit the integrated PDF document via email to amcis2017dc(a)gmail.com by May 18, 2017. Indicate in the subject line "Mid-Stage Doctoral Track Applicant" or "Senior Student Track Applicant." We look forward to seeing you in Boston!

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP HICSS-51 Virtual Teams, Organizations and Networks Datum: Sat, 13 May 2017 16:38:32 +0000 Von: Alberto Espinosa <alberto(a)american.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Colleagues, We invite you to submit a paper to the Virtual Teams, Organizations, and Networks minitrack (Collaboration Systems and Technologies Track) for HICSS-51 taking place on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Details are below. If you have any questions about the minitrack, or about the applicability of your potential submission, please contact me or one of us via email. 4-7 January 2018 Hilton Waikola Village http://hicss.hawaii.edu/ HICSS-51 Minitrack: Virtual Teams, Organizations, and Networks (Collaboration Systems and Technologies Track) Paper submission deadline : June 15, 2017 | 11:59 pm HST Teamwork in organizations today is generally characterized by members working across multiple spatial and temporal boundaries in complex configurations comprised of multi-team arrangements, member turnover, and multiple organizational boundaries, among other things. Contemporary virtual teams can rarely be studied as single units because they are often comingled into larger organizational networks with multiple teams, locations, function as and organizational memberships. Most business, government and scientific projects and processes today have a very prominent virtual dimension. Virtual collaborators often to not have the same first language, come from different national cultures, work in different time zones and may be employed by different organizations, and enter collaborations with different expectations for group processes. These differences, among others, present unique opportunities for management and leadership. Because of the multi-disciplinary nature of research on virtu al teams, organizations and networks, we encourage submissions that may inform practice and research in virtual collaboration through a variety of academic lenses, and offer methodological issues and innovation in the study of virtual teams, organizations, and networks. This mini-track invites papers that offer direct and indirect insights into the successful operation of virtual teams, organizations and networks, including research in the vein of computer supported collaborative work (CSCW), computer supported collaborative learning (CSCW), and social and organizational networks. The topics we propose for this minitrack include but are not limited to: * Spatial and temporal separation and its effects on collaboration * Coordination in virtual collaboration * Cultural differences in perception of time * Conflict management across cultures * Project management styles and differences across cultures * Differences in language understanding and its effects on collaboration * Power distance and its effects on collaboration * Uncertainty (risk) avoidance and its effects on collaboration * Anonymity in multicultural teams * eLeadership * Deception in virtual teams * Social loafing in virtual teams * Personality and its role in virtual teams * Cross-cultural training * Virtual team collaboration and innovation * Emotion in virtual teams * Relationship building in virtual teams * Information sharing in virtual teams * Collaboration and communication tools * Differences between academic and non-academic virtual teams * Virtual team case studies * Social Network Analysis and virtual teams * Identifying multi-level influences on virtual teams, organizations, and networks * Multi-teaming in virtual collaboration * Scientific collaboration in virtual teams (Team Science) Mini-track chairs: Derrick L.

However, the usage characteristics of information and communication systems are both implicitly and explicitly determined by social interaction and the social graph of users. This aspect is becoming more and more evident with the increasing popularity of social network applications on the internet. This workshop will address all social aspects that influence the design of technical systems, covering different perspectives of this exciting research area from the computational modelling of social systems to socio-inspired design strategies for distributed algorithms, collaboration platforms and communication protocols. ************************************************************************* 4th IEEE Workshop on Quality Assurance for Self-adaptive, Self-organising Systems (QA4SASO) http://qa4saso.isse.de/ Submission deadline: July 7, 2017 Organisation * Benedikt Eberhardinger, University of Augsburg, Germany * Franz Wotawa, Technical University Graz, Austria * Hella Seebach, University of Augsburg, Germany Developing self-adaptive, self-organising systems (SASO) that fulfil the requirements of different stakeholders is no simple matter. Quality assurance is required at each phase of the entire development process, starting from requirements elicitation, system architecture design, agent design, and finally in the implementation of the system. The quality of the artefacts from each development phase affects the rest of the system, since all parts are closely related to each other. Furthermore, the shift of adaptation decisions from design-time to run-time - necessitated by the need of the systems to adapt to changing circumstances - makes it difficult, but even more essential, to assure high quality standards in these kind of systems. Accordingly, the analysis and evaluation of these self-* systems has to take into account the specific operational context to achieve high quality standards. The necessity to investigate this field has already been recognized and addressed in different communities but there exists so far no platform to bring all these communities together. Therefore, the workshop provides within its third edition an established open stage for discussions about the different aspects of quality assurance for self-adaptive, self-organising systems. ************************************************************************* 2nd eCAS Workshop on Engineering Collective Adaptive Systems (ECAS) http://apice.unibo.it/xwiki/bin/view/ECAS2017 Submission deadline: July 3, 2017 Organisation * Antonio Bucchiarone, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy * Kyle Usbeck, Raytheon BBN Technologies, USA Modern software systems are becoming more and more collective, composed of many distributed and heterogeneous entities. These systems operate under continuous perturbations making manual adjustments infeasible. For a collective system to be resilient, adaptation must be collective, that is multiple entities must adapt in a way that addresses critical runtime conditions while preserving the benefits of the collaborative interdependencies. Decision-making in such systems is distributed and possibly highly dispersed, and interaction between the entities may lead to the emergence of unexpected phenomena. In such systems, a new approach for adaptation is needed to allow (i) multiple entities to collectively adapt with (ii) negotiations to decide which collective changes are best. Collective adaptation also raises a second important challenge: which parts of the system (things, services, people) should be engaged in an adaptation? This is not trivial, since multiple solutions to the same problem may be generated at different levels. The challenge here is to understand these levels and create mechanisms to decide the right scope for an adaptation for a given problem. This workshop solicits papers that address new methodologies, theories and principles that can be used in order to develop a better understanding of the fundamental factors underpinning the operation of such systems, so that we can better design, build, and analyze them, as well as case studies and applications showing such approaches in action Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcomed. ************************************************************************* 3rd International Workshop on Data-driven Self-regulating Systems (DSS) http://dss2017.inn.ac/ Submission deadline: July 17, 2017 Organisation * Evangelos Pournaras - ETH Zurich, Switzerland * Akshay Uttama Nambi S.N. - Microsoft Research Lab India * Stefan Bosse - University of Bremen, Germany The emergence of pervasive and ubiquitous technologies together with social media has resulted in unprecedented opportunities to reason about the complexity of our society based on magnitudes of data. Embedded ICT technologies mandate the functionality and operations of several techno-socio-economic systems such as traffic systems, transportation systems, Smart Grids, power/gas/water networks, etc. It is estimated that over 50 billion connected smart devices will be online by the year 2020. Moreover, social media provide invaluable insights about the complexity of social interactions and how these interactions influence the sustainability of several ICT-enabled techno-socio-economic systems. These observations show that regulating online the complex systems of our nowadays digital society is a grand challenge. Regulation concerns trade-offs such as the alignment of technical requirements, e.g. robustness, fault-tolerance, safety and security, with social or environmental requirements, for instance, fairness in the utilization of energy resources. The scale of nowadays data cannot tackle the challenge by itself as data may convey ungrounded correlations and biased predictions. Smart, autonomic and self- regulating mechanisms are required for filtering data streams in real-time and transform them to valuable information based on which intelligent adaptive decisions can be made in a decentralized fashion under a plethora of operational scenarios. The aim of the 3rd International Workshop on Data-driven Self-regulating Systems is to foster interactions between researchers of different disciplines working on challenges about the self- organization and self-adaptation of complex techno-socio-economic systems. ************************************************************************* International Workshop on Industrial Self-Coordination (InSeCo) https://easychair.org/cfp/InSeCo-2017 Submission deadline: July 7, 2017 Organisation * David Sanderson - University of Nottingham, United Kingdom * Mariusz Nowostawski - Norwegian University of Technology, Norway Smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0, Industrial IoT and smart supply chain management systems are some of the core trends that are reshaping the way manufacturing and businesses operate. These technological developments have the potential to significantly improve automation and information exchange in manufacturing. At the same time, researchers and business practitioners are investigating modular structured smart factories to monitor physical processes and to make decentralised decisions. Smart, Industrial Internet of Things systems provide data, for data-driven self-organizing cyber-physical systems, that communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans in real time. The Internet of Services, in both, internal and cross-organizational services are offered and used by participants of the value chain. At the same time, technologies such as those offered by the Distributed Ledger technologies, Smart Contracts and the blockchain concept provide mechanisms for coordination and trust without the need for Trusted Third Parties. In this workshop we combine broader concepts related to value chains, supply management and manufacturing, with the focus on the blockchain and other emerging technologies for decentralised coordination in the cyber-physical realm. _______________________________________________ fai-saso mailing list fai-saso(a)listserv.uni-augsburg.de https://mailman.rz.uni-augsburg.de/mailman/listinfo/fai-saso
