-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] 4th Workshop on Heterogeneous High-performance Reconfigurable Computing (H2RC 2018) at SC18: Extended abstracts due Aug. 15 Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2018 10:45:38 -0400 From: Jason D. Bakos <jbakos(a)cse.sc.edu> To: sc-workshop-attendee-cfp(a)group.supercomputing.org, hpc-announce(a)mcs.anl.gov, fpga-list(a)mailman.sydney.edu.au, sdmas(a)googlegroups.com <sdmas(a)googlegroups.com>, TCSC(a)cse.stfx.ca <TCSC(a)cse.stfx.ca>, Computational Science List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ========================================================================== ** Call for Papers ** ========================================================================== Fourth International Workshop on Heterogeneous High-performance Reconfigurable Computing (H^2RC) ========================================================================== Held in conjunction with Supercomputing 2018 Sunday Morning, November 11, 2018 Dallas, TX http://h2rc.cse.sc.edu ========================================================================== Submission Deadline: August 15, 2018 (1 to 4 page extended abstracts) ========================================================================== As conventional von-Neumann architectures are suffering from rising power densities, we are facing an era with power, energy efficiency, and cooling as first-class constraints for scalable HPC. FPGAs can tailor the hardware to the application, avoiding overheads and achieving higher hardware efficiency than general-purpose architectures. Leading FPGA manufacturers have recently made a concerted effort to provide a range of higher-level, easier to use high-level programming models for FPGAs. Such initiatives are already stimulating new interest within the HPC community around the potential advantages of FPGAs over other architectures. With this in mind, this workshop, now its fourth year, brings together HPC and heterogeneous-computing researchers to demonstrate and share experiences on how newly-available high-level programming models, including OpenCL, are already empowering HPC software developers to directly leverage FPGAs, and to identify future opportunities and needs for research in this area. ========================================================================== Topics ========================================================================== Submissions are solicited that explore the state of the art in the use of FPGAs in heterogeneous high-performance compute architectures and, at a system level, in data centers and supercomputers. FPGAs may be considered from either or both the distributed, parallel and composable fabric of compute elements or from their dynamic reconfigurability. We particularly encourage submissions which focus on the mapping of algorithms and applications to heterogeneous FPGA-based systems as well as the overall impact of such architectures on the compute capacity, cost, power efficiency, and overall computational capabilities of data centers and supercomputers. A non-comprehensive list of potential topics of interest is given below: 1. FPGAs in the cloud and data center 2. Cloud and data center applications 3. Leveraging reconfigurability 4. Benchmarks 5. Implementation studies 6. Programming languages, tools, and frameworks 7. Future-gazing 8. Community building ========================================================================== Special theme for 2018 ========================================================================== For this year's workshop we especially encourage the submission of papers on the topic of FPGA-based support for non-volatile memory and near-memory computing. Non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies such as Flash and Phase-Change memory potentially facilitate shared storage in the microsecond regime. In emerging systems, NVM may serve as a new level of memory hierarchy or as a networked resource. To this end, early work in developing both system-level interfaces to NVM (such as NVMe) and network-level interfaces to NVM (such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet 2) rely heavily on FPGAs as low-latency intermediaries. ========================================================================== Prospective authors are invited to submit relevant contributions as an extended abstract in ACM SIG Proceedings format of up to four pages. You can submit your contribution(s) through a link on the H2RC website: http://h2rc.cse.sc.edu The authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work at the workshop. ========================================================================== Important dates: Submission Deadline: August 15, 2018 Acceptance Notification: September 18, 2018 Camera-ready Manuscripts Due: October 15, 2018 Workshop Date: November 11, 2018 ========================================================================== Workshop Format H2RC is a half-day Sunday workshop. It will be comprised of: -- Keynote and invited talks -- Talks selected among paper submissions ========================================================================== Organizing Committee Workshop Organizers: Michaela Blott, Xilinx Franck Cappello, Argonne National Lab Torsten Hoefler, ETH Zurich Jason D.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - DIDL 2018 : Second Workshop on Distributed Infrastructures for Deep Learning Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 08:54:27 -0400 From: Vatche Ishakian <vatchei(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second Workshop on Distributed Infrastructures for Deep Learning (DIDL) 2018 Rennes, France Dec 10-14, 2018 https://didl-conf.github.io/ Deep learning is a rapidly growing field of machine learning, and has proven successful in many domains, including computer vision, language translation, and speech recognition. The training of deep neural networks is resource intensive, requiring compute accelerators such as GPUs, as well as large amounts of storage and memory, and network bandwidth. Additionally, getting the training data ready requires a lot of tooling for data cleansing, data merging, ambiguity resolution, etc. Sophisticated middleware abstractions are needed to schedule resources, manage the distributed training job as well as visualize how well the training is progressing. Likewise, serving the large neural network models with low latency constraints can require middleware to manage model caching, selection, and refinement. All the major cloud providers, including Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have started to offer cloud services in the last year or so with services to train and/or serve deep neural network models. In addition, there is a lot of activity in open source middleware for deep learning, including Tensorflow, Theano, Caffe2, PyTorch, and MXNet. There are also efforts to extend existing platforms such as Spark for deep learning workloads. This workshop focuses on the tools, frameworks, and algorithms to support executing deep learning algorithms in a distributed environment. As new hardware and accelerators become available, the middleware and systems need to be able exploit their capabilities and ensure they are utilized efficiently. Authors are invited to submit research papers, experience papers, demonstrations, or position papers Topics This workshop solicits papers from both academia and industry on the state of practice and state of the art in deep learning infrastructures. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Resource scheduling algorithms for deep learning workloads Advances in deep learning frameworks Programming abstractions for deep learning models Middleware support for hardware accelerators Novel distribution techniques for training large neural networks Case studies of deep learning middleware Optimization techniques for Inferencing Novel debugging and logging techniques Data cleansing, data disambiguation tools for deep learning Data visualization tools for deep learning Dates and location Paper submissions: August 31, 2018 Notification to authors: September 28, 2018 Camera-ready copy due: October 19, 2018 The DIDL workshop is co-located with the Middleware conference, which will be held in Rennes, France from December 10-14th 2018. Papers and Submissions We are looking for the following types of submissions: Research and industry papers (up to 6 pages): Reports on original results including novel techniques, significant case studies or surveys. Authors may include extra material beyond the six pages as a clearly marked appendix, which reviewers are not obliged to read but could read. Position papers (up to 4 pages): Reports identifying unaddressed problems and research challenges. Abstracts (up to 1 page): An extended abstract on a preliminary or ongoing work. Papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. All papers should follow ACM formatting instructions, specifically the ACM SIG Proceedings Standard Style. The author kit containing the templates for the required style can be found at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Submissions should not be blinded for review. Please submit your papers via the submission site: https://didl18.hotcrp.com/ All accepted papers will appear in the Middleware 2018 companion proceedings, available in the ACM Digital Library. All accepted papers will also be presented at the workshop, and at least one author of each paper must register for the workshop.

These developments are not limited to IT-related industries anymore but by now affect traditional product- and service industries both within the business-to-business and within the business-to-consumer sector. Companies need to regularly question and possibly adapt their business models or build new businesses branches to survive in competition. At the same time, innovations in ICT offer the opportunity to develop new solutions as a foundation of new companies. The adaptation of existing and the development of new business models demand an understanding of the underlying technologies and management concepts for digital entrepreneurship. This track, on the one hand, will examine the impact of technological developments on the design of existing and new business models. This includes the provider as well as the consumer side. All parts of a business model - the product or service, the customer relationships, the resources, as well as the cost and revenue model - are of equal interest. On the other hand, the track is dedicated to the question on how start-ups, both as own entities as well as within other organizations, can be successfully founded and established. This includes technical (e.g. the development of a prototype) and organizational issues (e.g. the composition of founding teams) as well as cultural aspects (e.g. flexible work environments). Furthermore, instruments and methods for modelling, depicting and transforming business models are relevant for the track. The following list of topics is neither exclusive nor exhaustive. All kinds of interesting artifacts, novel, ICT-based business models and methodological innovations are welcome in the track. We are open towards different research methodologies. Analytical, conceptual, constructivist, empirical and theoretical approaches are welcome. Subjects · Business models based on ICT · Management of business model innovations · Changes in cost structures through ICT · New forms of revenue generation using ICT · Novel ways of funding innovations (e.g. crowdfunding) · The impact of ICT on the relationship between firms and customers · Redesign of interorganizational cooperation using ICT · Substitution and complementarity of new and existing business models within an organization · Digital entrepreneurship · Organization of digital start-ups · Start-ups within organizations · Digital entrepreneurial culture, change in dynamics of start-ups based on digital business models · Tools for modelling and representing business models Associate Editors · Paul Alpar, University of Marburg · Sabine Baumann, Jade University of Applied Sciences · Maik Hammerschmidt, University of Göttingen · Georg Herzwurm, University of Stuttgart · Monika Schuhmacher, University of Gießen · Frank Teuteberg, University of Osnabrück · Frédéric Thiesse, University of Würzburg · Felix Wortmann, University of St. Gallen · Thomas Hess, LMU Munich · Dennis Kundisch, University of Paderborn · Peter Loos, Saarland University · Christian Matt, University of Bern · Andreas Eckhardt, GGS Heilbronn · Paul Drews, Leuphana University of Lüneburg · Christiane Lehrer, University of St. Gallen · Thomas Widjaja, University of Passau · Tilo Böhmann, Universität Hamburg · Dirk Neumann, University of Freiburg · Andre Hanelt, University of Göttingen · Ferdinand Thies, University of Liechtenstein · Dennis Steininger, University of Augsburg · Nadine Ostern, Darmstadt University of Technology · Christoph Peters, University of St. Gallen Dates Paper submission deadline: August 31st, 2018 Notification of fast- and constructive AE rejects: September 14th, 2018 Notification of review results: from October 12th, 2018 Submission of revised papers: October 26th, 2018 For further information please visit http://wi2019.de/ Dr. Benedikt Berger Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) Munich School of Management Institute for Information Systems and New Media Room 213 | Ludwigstrasse 28 | 80539 Munich | Germany Phone +49 (0)89 2180-6392 | Fax +49 (0)89 2180-996392 benedikt.berger(a)bwl.lmu.de<mailto:benedikt.berger@bwl.lmu.de> | www.wim.bwl.lmu.de<http://www.wim.bwl.lmu.de/> _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call For Participation: IEEE COMPSAC - Big Data Hackathon Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2018 17:05:19 +0000 From: Hossain Shahriar <hshahria(a)kennesaw.edu> Call for Hackathon Participation [winners: Cash Awards] IEEE Big Data Governance & Metadata Management: Brain Data Bank on Video Gaming Enhances Cognitive Skills (Part of COMPSAC Conference, July 23 - 27, 2018) National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan, July 23 - 24, 2018 Participants -Come and join us (training available, no prior knowledge is needed)! We need teams (3-4 members per team) of data scientists, computer scientists, engineers, statisticians, analysts, problem solvers, etc. to explore new patterns or knowledge from the given datasets. Problem Statement Cognitive control is defined by a set of neural processes that allow us to interact with our complex environment in a goal directed manner. Humans regularly challenge these control processes when attempting to simultaneously accomplish multiple goals (multitasking). It is clear that multitasking behavior has become ubiquitous in today's technologically dense world, and substantial evidence has accrued regarding multitasking difficulties and cognitive control deficits in our aging population. Here we show that multitasking performance, as assessed with a custom-designed three-dimensional video game (NeuroRacer), exhibits a linear age-related decline from 20 to 79 years of age. By playing an adaptive version of NeuroRacer in multitasking training mode, older adults (60 to 85 years old) reduced multitasking costs compared to both an active control group and a no-contact control group, attaining levels beyond those achieved by untrained 20-year-old participants, with gains persisting for 6 months. These findings highlight the robust plasticity of the prefrontal cognitive control system in the aging brain, and provide the first evidence, to our knowledge, of how a custom-designed video game can be used to assess cognitive abilities across the lifespan, evaluate underlying neural mechanisms, and serve as a powerful tool for cognitive enhancement. Tutorial and Hands-on (no neuroscience background is needed but willing to work within a team is preferred) Dr. David Ziegler (Tutorial), Director of Technology Program, Multimodal Biosensing, UCSF, USA Dr. Seth Elkin-Frankston (Hands-on), Scientist, Cognitive Systems, Charles River Analytics Inc., USA Challenging Questions - Try to conduct an event-related potential (ERP) analysis of the data in one or more conditions. How does this approach compare to that used in the Nature paper (i.e., ERSP-Event-Related Spectral Perturbation or time-frequency analysis)? Hint: check out the EEGLab and Fieldtrip tutorial - Try conducting an independent component analysis (ICA) decomposition analysis of the data (Hint: this is best done in EEGLab). How does this approach compare to that used in the Nature paper or the ERP analysis suggested above? What new information can we learn using this approach? - Would a micro-state analysis be appropriate for the data? What new knowledge might we learn from such an approach? - What advanced methods (e.g., deep learning, but also others) are available that would help predict post game performance? Specifically by what mechanisms and by how much?

The business goal is to ensure the smooth completion of end-to-end transactions and reduce vulnerabilities. More and more people are looking at a new technology - Blockchain. A blockchain – originally blockchain – is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block contains typically a hash pointer as a link to a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data. A blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. As a promising technique to achieve decentralized consensus, Blockchain helps achieve benefits critical to enterprises and create extraordinary opportunities for businesses to come together in new ways. Particularly in finance, it has been successfully applied to digital cryptocurrencies and Blockchain-based systems have received significant attention in both academia and industry. Book co-editors intend to invite experts and successful case participating members to contribute discussions on topics related to performance, benchmarking, durability, robustness, as well data gathering and management, algorithms, analytics techniques for transactions processing and implementation of applications. * Topics Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theories of blockchain and its evolution - Applications with blockchain technique - Protocols and algorithms based on blockchain - Smart contract and distributed ledger - Blockchain and Bitcoin security - Distributed consensus and fault tolerance mechanisms - Blockchain schemes for decentralization - Security, privacy and trust management, and performance optimization of blockchain and decentralized schemes - Attacks on blockchain based systems - Blockchain-based lightweight data structures for IoT data - Blockchain-based IoT security solutions - Blockchain in CPS, social networking, crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, 5G, edge and cloud computing - Lightweight clients and simple payment verification in Bitcoin * Proposal submission A proposal for a book chapter is needed from prospective authors before the proposal *submission due date*, describing the objective, scope, and structure of the proposed chapter (no more than 5 pages).
