The inherent<br>advantages of quantum technology, particularly in terms of security,<br>privacy, efficiency and scalability, have opened new frontiers in<br>information technology. Quantum technology has demonstrated its ability to<br>introduce applications with no equivalent in the classical realm, marking a<br>breakthrough towards an unimaginable future. The establishment of<br>connections between the quantum source node and destination node using<br>quantum hardware and devices facilitates qubit transmissions, which in turn<br>enables advancements in quantum computing, artificial intelligence and<br>cryptography and further services and applications. Envisioned as a<br>transformative force, quantum services are anticipated to span the globe,<br>leveraging quantum terrestrial components, satellites, airplanes, ships,<br>and other vehicles. The quantum future holds the promise of nearly<br>unconditional security, super-computing power, large capacity, even at high<br>velocity, and heightened privacy.<p><p>Our conference welcomes submissions across diverse research areas related<br>to quantum hardware, communications, networking, computing, cryptography,<br>artificial intelligence, and their associated systems and applications.

The tasks will be significantly complicated with the greater complexity of computing systems, increasing network speed, and the newly introduced mobile and IoT devices. Such changes will render the existing telemetry and analysis techniques outdated, and more scalable techniques may be in place for data-driven and deeper data analysis. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative challenges, data pressure in systems and networks also comes from various sources such as sensors, computing systems, networking and security devices, and other emerging computing elements speaking with different syntax and semantics, which makes organizing and incorporating the generated data difficult for extensive analysis. This workshop aims at bridging the systems and network measurement and the latest advances in artificial intelligence and data science technologies to advance the performance and reliability of HPC and distributed systems. New analysis techniques are needed in the modern world from the diverse angles of systems/network performance, availability, and security. For example, real-time streaming analytics algorithms and methods need to be explored for estimating network performance and summarizing the traffic variables to capture the network activities due to the network bandwidth increase. Multivariate analysis of telemetric variables may provide an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed with the latest developments in storage and archival technologies. In addition, many applications in this area may need to address the application-specific requirements and challenges. This workshop intends to share visions of investigating new approaches and methods at the intersection of data sciences and HPC/distributed computing systems. <br> <br>Topics of Interest (but not limited to)<p> • Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization<br> • Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing<br> • Scalable distributed and federated machine learning<br> • Performance modeling, analysis, and optimization<br> • Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization<br> • Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications<br> • Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs<br> • Wireless, sensor, 5G/6G networks measurement and analysis<br> • Software/Knowledge-Defined-* technologies<br> • Advances in network and storage technologies<br> • Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems<br> • Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis<p>Submission Guidelines<br>All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

This includes methods<br>for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,<br>and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The<br>workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from<br>decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human-<br>computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce,<br>multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial<br>optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving,<br>perception and natural language understanding and other computational<br>tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall<br>understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to<br>realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are<br>used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between<br>the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.<p>- Preference handling in artificial intelligence<br>- Preference handling in database systems<br>- Preference handling in multiagent systems<br>- Applications of preferences<br>- Preference elicitation and learning<br>- Preference representation and modeling<br>- Properties and semantics of preferences<br>- Practical preferences<p>FORMAT<p>The program will consist of presentations of peer-reviewed papers,<br>panel discussions about future challenges, and an invited talk.<p>SUBMISSION<p>We invite interested researchers to submit papers on any computational<br>aspect of preference handling. Submissions should be formatted<br>according to the ECAI formatting instructions and not exceed 7 pages<br>(plus 1 extra page for references).<p>The purpose of workshop presentations is to get early feedback on new<br>ideas and to stimulate discussions between researchers interested in<br>preference handling. As such, there will be no formal proceedings, but<br>we may post accepted papers on the workshop website for the benefit of<br>the workshop participants if the authors agree to this and the paper<br>has not already been published.<p>Original submissions: Submissions about unpublished ideas will be<br>reviewed by a double-blind process and should be anonymous.<p>Multiple submissions: Authors who are seeking a broader forum for<br>already published work and who are interested in giving a<br>presentation to the workshop's audience may submit their work<br>non-anonymously while indicating where this work has been<br>published. We will only accept work which has been published in<br>the last calendar year (e.g., ECAI 2023, AAAI 2024, and any<br>conference held after May 2023).<p>Transferred papers: In addition to regular paper submissions, we<br>also consider accepting papers rejected from the main<br>conference. Decisions about acceptance of these transferred<br>papers will be based on the reviews of the ECAI PC.<p>FORMATTING INSTRUCTIONS<p><a href="https://ecai2024.eu/download/ecai-template.zip">https://ecai2024.eu/download/ecai-template.zip</a><p>SUBMISSION WEBSITE<p><a href="https://chairingtool.com/conferences/15MPREFH/MainTrack">https://chairingtool.com/conferences/15MPREFH/MainTrack</a><p>IMPORTANT DATES <p>- Submission deadline (regular papers): May 15, 2024.<br>- Author notification (regular papers): July 1, 2024.<br>- Submission deadline (transferred papers): July 11, 2024.<br>- Author notification (transferred papers): July 18, 2024<br>- Camera-ready: August 1, 2024.<br>- M-PREF Workshop: October 19 or 20, 2024.<p>WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS<p>Ulrich Junker, France<br>Anaëlle Wilczynski, Université Paris-Saclay, France<p>CONTACT EMAIL<p><a href="mailto:inquiries@mpref2024.mpref.org">inquiries@mpref2024.mpref.org</a> <p>WORKSHOP URL<p><a href="https://mpref2024.mpref.org">https://mpref2024.mpref.org</a> <br>**********************************************************<br>*<br>* Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to<br>*<br>* <a href="mailto:DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de">DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de</a><br>*<br>* Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be<br>* addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.

However, current approaches face challenges such as lack of documentation, traceability issues, and the use of opaque black-box components. The first International Workshop on Explainable Knowledge Aware Process Intelligence aims at motivating researchers from diverse fields to offer significant insights and contributions aimed at addressing the aforementioned challenges in the realm of knowledge-aware process intelligence.<p>======================================================<br>Target Audience<br>======================================================<p>Researchers, academics, and industry professionals with an interest in process mining, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and business process management.<p>======================================================<br>Overview<br>======================================================<p>The first International Workshop on Explainable Knowledge Aware Process Intelligence aims at contributing to the advancement of explainable, knowledge-aware process intelligence and expanding the vibrant community dedicated to addressing challenges in the process mining landscape. <br>Due to the ongoing digitalization undergone by organizations in recent years, there has been a notable surge in interest in Process Intelligence research. Specifically, the automated extraction of knowledge from the ever-growing volume of event data holds the potential to yield valuable insights for enhancing process execution. Process mining, coupled with AI techniques, plays a pivotal role in this domain, leading the charge in transforming event data into valuable knowledge for companies. Despite the effectiveness of existing techniques, two primary issues persist: the lack of documentation and traceability stemming from ad-hoc procedures, and the use of opaque black-box components. Moreover, there is the need to explore the integration of domain knowledge to steer the knowledge extraction process towards more meaningful outcomes. Thus, in this research area many intriguing problems, that could result in comprehensive sets of techniques for achieving explainable, knowledge-aware process intelligence, are left open. <br>The goal of the workshop is to motivate researchers from diverse fields to offer significant insights and contributions aimed at addressing the aforementioned challenges in the realm of knowledge-aware process intelligence.<p>======================================================<br>Topics of Interests<br>======================================================<p>Potential submission topics encompass a range of areas, including but not limited to:<br>Multi-perspective process models incorporating data, time, and resources.<br>Declarative processes.<br>Explainable and trustworthy AI for both process management and process mining.<br>Conversational systems, natural language processing, and human-machine interaction in the context of process management.<br>Knowledge representation for process management, covering reasoning about actions and processes, planning, and synthesis.<br>Answer Set Programming for Process mining.<br>AI techniques for various aspects of process handling, such as discovery, conformance checking, prescriptive and predictive monitoring.<br>AI techniques for clustering and classification of process execution traces.<br>Generative AI applied to Process Mining.<br>Machine learning for event recognition in semi-structured and unstructured data.<br>Mining techniques, including association rule mining, specification mining, and decision mining from process execution traces.<br>Declarative-based multi-perspective representation of process traces.<br>Introduction of novel metrics for measuring process conformance.<br>Addressing uncertainty in AI for process management.<br>Exploration of multiagent systems, strategic reasoning, game theory, and mechanism design for multi-party processes.<br>Consideration of multi-objective optimization, decision-making processes, and continuous improvement.<br>Examining the concept of value alignment in the context of process management.<p>======================================================<br>Publication<br>======================================================<p>Papers, whether regular or discussion, that are accepted will be incorporated into the conference proceedings and published on CEUR Workshop Proceedings.
