Call for Position Papers

Workshop on Modeling & Simulation of Systems and Applications
August 10-12, 2016 ♦ University of Washington, Seattle

To promote advancements in ModSim research, we will be soliciting community input in the form of abstracts. If accepted, the abstract’s author(s) will be invited to offer presentations or posters at the 2016 ModSim Workshop.

EasyChair Submission Deadline: Friday, June 10, 2016 (EXTENDED ONE WEEK)

Submission Guidelines: Abstracts should be submitted according to the guidelines described in EasyChair.
The Organizing Committee will review these abstracts and invite selected contributors to participate in the ModSim 2016 workshop extended, the invitation will specify whether a presentation or poster is required. Responsive submissions will be made public via the workshop website<http://hpc.pnl.gov/modsim/2016/presentations.shtml>, and selected papers may be included in a post-workshop proceedings (pending final publication decision).

ModSim 2016 Topics

Advanced Architectures (including beyond CMOS)
Powerful components, such as GPU and RISC processors, 3D memory devices, and ASIC devices linked by increasingly sophisticated interconnection technologies, are frequently combined in novel and unproven ways. This practice, coupled with ever-present demands for greater execution and power efficiencies, lower acquisition costs, and higher reliability, creates even more complexity. ModSim can enable exploration of the most novel architectures, cultivating an understanding of what does and does not work (and why) and guiding complex engineering processes to successful conclusions.
Researchers are invited to submit abstracts describing their research, tools, and techniques for modeling and simulating computer architectures and components, particularly topics related to modeling architectures beyond CMOS, such as neuromorphic computing.

Integration of Measurement and ModSim
New architectures and systems offer a wealth of information regarding performance and power. However, understanding how to capture this information is often complex. Current state-of-the-art monitoring systems can point to various definitions of counter events, while different depth and breadth across vendors and significant idiosyncrasies only add to the complexity. Benchmarking is another measurement technique that offers a snapshot of system and application behavior at the application or microarchitecture-probe level.
In ModSim, a range of methodologies and tools employ measurements. Among them, model validation is vital. ModSim 2016 will take an in-depth look at the “virtuous circle” of measurement and modeling. Researchers are invited to submit abstracts related to: standardization of counter interfaces and definition of events, design of monitoring systems, monitoring systems architectures, trackable events, measurement tools and interfaces, ingesting measurement data into simulators, and measurement-based simulation verification and validation.

ModSim Methods and Tools
While the types and numbers of modeling and simulation tools and techniques continue to grow, their value and use still depend on deciding what users want ModSim to achieve. Whether solving a complex, real-world problem or enhancing general research and applications, interoperable, best-practice-based, validated models can contribute valuable understanding.
Researchers are invited to submit their abstracts related to ModSim methods and/or tools, including: interfaces, best practices, how different methodologies can cooperate, verification and validation supporting interoperability, and integration of ModSim for various layers of the hardware-software stack, to name only a few.

Modeling Integrated Workflows
Numerous science communities have adopted scientific workflow concepts and tools to manage large-scale science computations. These workflows automate data movement and processing tasks associated with collecting and analyzing data. As domain science communities increasingly rely on workflow systems to run complex tasks, it has become essential that these workflow systems operate correctly. ModSim techniques and methods must be used to provide this verification function. Researchers are invited to submit their abstracts related to the following areas: whole-model simulations; resource (computers, instruments, storage, or networks) selection and optimization; dynamic and interactive workflows; and other aspects of end-to-end data generation and movement (streaming data from detectors to storage/computers, bulk data transfers to/from storage systems, visualization or analysis data returned to scientists).

The Organizing Committee will send notifications of acceptance to authors in early July.

Call for Participation
ICCS ECA-2016 Workshop (San Diego June 6 2016) - Environmental computing applications - state of the art 
Jun 6, 2016, San Diego, California, U.S.A.
Plumeria Suite, Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa

This ICCS 2016 workshop focuses on advances in environmental computing (using advanced environmental modelling techniques to analyse data sources with a goal of producing actionable knowledge).

The workshop talks range from case studies and presentations of new approaches to environmental computing systems to attempts to capture and structure the field, its actors, and the broader impact of the developments. The underlying themes related to opportunities and challenges related to multi-model and multi-data frameworks (including metadata approaches), scalability of the systems, and data and model semantics and visualisation.

The workshop builds on the foundations of the Environmental Computing Focus day that was arranged during the IEEE eScience 2015 conference (the presentations are linked on the Tuesday sessions of the conference agenda) as well as other environmental computing events.

Scope
GECON solicits contributions that are interdisciplinary, combining business and economic aspects with engineering and computer-science related themes. Contributions to this conference can include extensions to existing technologies, successful deployments of technologies, economic analyses, analyses of technology adoptions, and theoretical models. We welcome papers that combine micro- and macro-economic principles with resource management strategies in computer science and engineering. Case studies that demonstrate practical use of economic strategies and their benefits (and limitations) are particularly encouraged. The purpose of this event is to gather original work and build a strong multidisciplinary community in this increasingly important area of a future information and knowledge economy.

Topics of Interest
The way IT resources and services are being provisioned is currently in flux. Advances in distributed systems technology have allowed for the provisioning of services on an unprecedented scale and with increasing flexibility. At the same time, business and academia have started to embrace a model wherein third-party services that can be acquired with minimal service provider interaction, replace or complement those that are managed internally.
As a global market for infrastructure, platform and software services emerges, the need to understand and deal with these implications is quickly growing. In addition, a multitude of new challenges arise. These are inherently multidisciplinary and relate to aspects such as the operation and structure of the service market, the alignment of cost, revenue and quality-related objectives when taking on a service consumer or provider role, market-based resource allocation, and the creation of innovative business models and value chains. These challenges emerge in other service domains as well, for example in the coordinated operation of the next generation electricity grids (smart grids) that are characterized by distributed generation facilities and new consumption patterns.

General topics of interest at GECON 2016 include:
•    Software service platforms and networked systems
•    Analysis of software industry and cloud computing industry
•    Market mechanisms, auctions models, and bidding languages
•    Decision support for service selection and procurement
•    Revenue and energy-aware resource management
•    Pricing schemes, Service Level Agreements, and revenue models
•    Open source ecosystems
•    Economically efficient resource allocation, scheduling, and capacity planning
•    Automated trading and bidding support tools
•    Incentive design, strategic behavior, and game theory
•    Development of sustainable infrastructures
•    Desktop grids, volunteer computing and crowd-sourcing
•    Economic modeling of networks, systems, software, and data
•    Business models and strategies of small and medium-sized enterprises
•    Service value chains and value networks
•    Metering, accounting, and billing
•    Negotiation, enforcement and monitoring of Service Level Agreements
•    Trust, reputation, security, and risk management
•    Performance monitoring and prediction
•    Reports and analysis on operational markets and testbeds
•    Techno-economic analysis
•    Standardization, interoperability, and legal aspects
