Dear Colleagues,

we are happy to announce that the call for proposals for Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) 25 is live.

============================================

CALL FOR PAPERS

Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing

PASC25

FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch
Windisch, Switzerland

16-18 Jun 2025

https://pasc25.pasc-conference.org<https://pasc25.pasc-conference.org/>

Deadline: 06 Dec 2024 (no extensions)

=============================================

The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) invites research paper submissions for PASC25, co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS). PASC25 will be held from June 16 to 18, 2025, at FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch, Switzerland. The guidelines for submissions are published at https://pasc25.pasc-conference.org/submission/guidelines-for-papers/.

The PASC Conference series is an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of knowledge in scientific computing and computational science with a strong focus on methods, tools, algorithms, workflows, application challenges, and novel techniques in the context of scientific usage of high performance computing.

The technical program of PASC25 is organized around the following scientific domains:

* Chemistry and Materials (incl. ceramics, metals, and polymers)
* Climate, Weather, and Earth Sciences (incl. solid earth dynamics)
* Applied Social Sciences and Humanities (incl. behavioral, economic, legal, political and business sciences, philosophy, languages, the arts, ethics in computing including climate impact of HPC, biases in machine learning, etc.)
* Engineering (incl. CFD, computational mechanics, computational engineering and materials, turbulent flow)
* Life Sciences (incl. biophysics, genomics, bioinformatics, systems biology, neuroscience, and computational biology)
* Physics (incl. astrophysics, cosmology, plasma modelling, and quantum information sciences)
* Computational Methods and Applied Mathematics

PASC25 solicits high-quality contributions of original research related to scientific computing in all of these domains. Proposals that emphasize the theme of PASC25 - "Supercomputing for Sustainable Development" - are particularly welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Extreme scalable methods in computational science and engineering, such as algorithms and software for scalable multi-scale, multi-physics, and high-fidelity computational science and engineering problems.
* Numerical methods, algorithms, or large-scale simulations in computational fluid dynamics, computational mechanics, computational engineering materials, turbulent flow, and computational cosmology.
* Effective use of advanced computing systems for large-scale scientific applications, including modern multi- and many-core CPUs and accelerators with deep memory hierarchies, and energy-efficient architectures.
* Best practices and tools for productive and sustainable scientific and engineering software development.
* The integration of large-scale experimental and observational scientific data and high-performance data analytics and computing.
* Reproducibility for computational science and engineering.
* Verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification.
* Domain specific languages; toolchains for source-to-source translation/adaption.
* Runtime systems and middleware, such as task- and data-driven computation on heterogeneous architectures.
* Algorithms and strategies for effective use of machine learning, deep learning or AI to accelerate computational science.
* Machine learning / AI in the context of large parallel HPC applications, data sets or workflows.
* Unstructured vs. structured meshes for computational science applications at exascale
* Numerical algorithm development for post-exascale computing, including, but not limited to, communication avoiding algorithms, use of reduced or mixed precision, and integration of scalable numerical libraries in application software.
* Computational approaches for social sciences such as finance, urban planning, mobility or disaster response.

Papers accepted for PASC25 will be presented as talks, and published in the Proceedings of the PASC Conference, accessible via the ACM Digital Library. A selection of the highest quality papers may be given the opportunity of a plenary presentation. In selecting papers for plenary presentation, the Papers Committee will place particular weight on impact, interdisciplinarity and interest to a broad audience.

The goal of the PASC Conference Papers Program is to advance the quality of scientific communication between the various disciplines of computational science and engineering in the context of HPC. The program was built from an observation that the computer science community traditionally publishes in the proceedings of major international conferences, while domain science communities publish primarily in disciplinary journals - and neither of which is read regularly by the other. The PASC Conference provides a unique venue that enables interdisciplinary exchange in a manner that bridges the two scientific publishing cultures.

The Proceedings of the PASC Conference (PASC25) are published in the Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM's) Digital Library. In recognition of the high quality of the PASC Conference papers track, the ACM continues to provide the proceedings as an Open Table of Contents (OpenTOC). This means that the definitive versions of PASC Conference papers are available to everyone at no charge to the author and without any pay-wall constraints for readers.

SUBMISSION AND REVIEW

The PASC25 Papers Program Committee is responsible for the paper evaluation process. The committee is chaired by Sally Ellingson (University of Kentucky, US), and (Xiaoye) Sherry Li (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, US), and comprises of domain co-chairs and committee members who are specialists in their scientific fields. Papers will be evaluated by reviewers in the PASC25 papers committee on their significance, technical soundness, originality, and quality of communication.

We employ a rigorous academic peer-review process: most notably, we allow the possibility for provisional acceptance (revision and author rebuttal). Committee reviewers are solicited for each submission, with additional external reviewers where needed. The paper selection process thus combines the strengths of conference and journal publication schemes to provide an effective, high-impact publication venue in large-scale computational science.

Contributions must be submitted through the PASC Conference online submission portal (https://submissions.pasc-conference.org<https://submissions.pasc-conference.org/>). Submissions should include the following:

* Title: Maximum 20 words.
* Scientific Domain: Select a primary and optionally secondary scientific domain(s).
* Author details: Full names and contact details of author(s).
* Short Abstract: Maximum 250 words.
* Paper:
- First Stage: Maximum 10 pages including figures, tables, and appendices; but excl. references.
- Second Stage: In the revision phase, an extra page will be granted for the final paper to accommodate review requests.

Papers must be submitted in the current ACM Article Template (sigconf proceedings) format [1].

The PASC Conference highly encourages authors to follow reproducible science principles(https://opensciencemooc.eu/modules/reproducible-research-and-data-analysis/) for their submissions, to counter the reproducibility crisis in scientific publishing and increase the community value of computational research papers. Paper authors are highly encouraged to link data & software artifacts as a reference (supplementary materials archive), e.g., using open and freely available services such as, but not limited to, Zenodo.org<https://zenodo.org/> (https://zenodo.org/), Figshare.com<https://figshare.com/> (https://figshare.com/), DRYAD (https://datadryad.org/), institutional data archival platforms, or publicly accessible GitHub/GitLab instances. As guidance, data artifacts may include, as appropriate, the used/modified source code, run & analysis scripts, input files, and/or data (raw/processed as size allows); an artifact description ("README") including used standards/schema where used, a respective data archive license, and persistent link (ie., DOI).

Paper authors should plan to present their content in-person.

SUBMISSION DEADLINES

The deadline for submissions for Papers is December 06, 2024 at 11:59 pm anywhere on earth ('AoE' or 'UTC-12').

* 06 Dec 2024: Deadline for paper submissions (no extensions!)
* 04 Feb 2025: Review notifications

[DMANET] [Submission deadline approaching - Oct 1] [iSCI-2024] The 12th IEEE International Conference on Smart City and Informatization

Dear Professors/Scholars/Researchers,

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this iSCI
2024 Call for Papers (CFPs) with Deadline (October 1, 2024).

*The 12th IEEE International Conference on Smart*

*City and Informatization (iSCI-2024)*

*Sanya, Hainan, China, 17-21 December 2024*

*http://ieee-aiplus.org/2024/isci/*

*INTRODUCTION*

The smart city is a modern urban sustainable development concept and
practice based on digital, networked and intelligent information and
communication technology facilities, with social, environmental and
management as the core elements, and ubiquitous, green and beneficial to
the people as the main features. It is a strategic cognition of the
scientific development of modern cities and a specific method to respond
wisely, another innovative top-level design for the future scientific
development of cities, and an integration and sublimation of previous urban
development concepts.

Smart cities are both intrinsically linked to and have their own
characteristics in relation to city informatisation, digital cities,
knowledge cities and creative cities. In contrast to city informatisation,
the smart city does not only stay at the level of information technology,
but also integrates technology into urbanisation, focusing on citizen
participation, social management, natural resource utilisation and quality
of life improvement in the process of urbanisation, and developing the
information systems formed in informatisation into an omnipresent and
interactive sensory network.

The 12th IEEE International Conference on Smart City and Informatization
(iSCI-2024) aims to provide a unique platform for multi-disciplinary
researchers and teams, industry solution vendors, and government agencies
to exchange innovative ideas, challenges, research results and solutions,
as well as project experience reports and successful stories.

[DMANET] PhD position in Neurosymbolic Algorithmics at TU Wien, Vienna, Austria

Dear Colleagues,

Within the new Cluster of Excellence "Bilateral AI" (https://www.bilateral-ai.net/), we seek to fill a 4-year PhD position.

The successful candidate will work on integrating symbolic computational reasoning techniques (such as SAT, MaxSAT, #SAT, QBF, and CP) with cutting-edge machine learning approaches, including generative methods like transformer models and predictive techniques like reinforcement learning. The goal is to develop algorithms that surpass traditional methods in efficiency. The ideal candidate has a strong background in both areas (symbolic and subsymbolic techniques). However, we will also consider candidates with a strong background in one area who are willing to gain expertise in the other. Excellent programming skills in languages such as Python and the ability to design efficient algorithms are required.

Detailed information on the position and on how to apply can be found here:
https://www.vcla.at/2024/08/open-positions-cluster-of-excellence/#szeider

Informal inquiries about the position are welcome and should be sent directly to Stefan Szeider.

Best regards,
Stefan Szeider

[DMANET] CloudAM 2024 - Hard deadline extension

*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
13th International Workshop on Cloud and Edge Computing, and Applications Management (CloudAM 2024)
In conjunction with the 17th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2024)
16-19 December 2024
Sharjah, UAE

https://sites.google.com/unizar.es/cloudam2024

### Background ###
Cloud computing, virtualization and virtualized (eScience) applications have been generating substantial interest in the community for more than a decade, and this interest enabled the development of several architectures, techniques, and mechanisms for cloud and edge computing. With the actual deployment of edge computing infrastructures, exemplified with Fog Computing and Mobile Cloud Computing, the interest in these developments is currently still prominent. Cloud and edge infrastructures can work together to fulfill requirements from a variety of applications, composing the so-called Cloud Continuum to the edge. Clouds must provide appropriate levels of performance to large groups of diverse users, and those clouds are accessed through virtualized wide area networks, where edge/fog devices can act as a first layer of computing capacity closer to the user. Management systems are essential for that and thereby for the future success of the fog-cloud hierarchy. New systems, methods, and approaches for cloud and edge computing, virtualization and (eScience) applications management are to be discussed at this workshop.

[DMANET] PhD position in Time complexity Analysis of Bio-Inspired Computation available at SUSTech, Shenzhen, China

--Apologies for multiple postings--



Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship on the runtime analysis of bio-inspired computation techniques such as evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms, artificial immune systems which are widely used heuristic search techniques at the heart of artificial intelligence.

&nbsp;

About the project

&nbsp;

Bio-inspired meta-heuristics, such as evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithms or artificial immune systems are general purpose algorithms that mimic powerful mechanisms from nature such as the natural evolution of species or the collective intelligence of animals with the goal of solving complex optimisation problems. They have been applied successfully to a broad range of problems in various disciplines with remarkable success. They are particularly useful in settings where limited knowledge about the problem is available (black-box optimisation) and evaluating candidate solutions is the only means of learning about the problem at hand.

&nbsp;

In recent years theoretical analyses have emerged that provide mathematically proven statements regarding the performance of bio-inspired algorithms. They rigorously estimate the expected time required by the algorithms to find a satisfactory solution for various optimisation problems. Such analyses use mathematical techniques drawn and extended from the fields of randomised algorithms, probability theory and computational complexity. The results allow for insights into the working principles of bio-inspired meta-heuristics, enable the assessment of parameter choices and design aspects, and ultimately guide towards the design of more powerful algorithms. This studentship offers a valuable opportunity to work within this very active, challenging and exciting field of research at the intersection between theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.

&nbsp;

The successful applicant will perform high quality research in the area of time complexity analysis&nbsp; at the interface between bio-inspired computation and artificial intelligence. During the PhD studies, he/she will develop expertise in one or more promising research areas of his/her choice in this wide research area.

&nbsp;

Possible topics include the performance analysis of:

&nbsp;

a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Population-based meta-heuristics: highlighting their advantages over single-trajectory algorithms and/or the advantages of recombination over mutation-only algorithms;

b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Algorithm configurators: how to evolve the optimal parameter settings for the meta-heuristic;

c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hyper-heuristics: how to evolve the meta-heuristic itself;

d)&nbsp;&nbsp; Genetic programming: how to evolve computer programs effectively.

&nbsp;

About the University/Department

&nbsp;

Established in 2010 with the mission to reform Chinese tertiary education and become a top-notch international research university, SUSTech was launched in the tech capital city of Shenzhen. SUSTech is becoming the important epicentre for China's science and technology academic research and for the cultivation of innovative minds.&nbsp; The rapid ascent of SUSTech onto the global stage is remarkable. In the&nbsp;Times Higher Education (THE) World university Rankings&nbsp;2023, it ranked 8th in Mainland China and 166th among the universities in the world. In THE Young Universities Rankings 2024, SUSTech was ranked 1st in China.

&nbsp;

The SUSTech campus sits in the rolling hills of Nanshan District, with the verdant green lawns reflecting the environmentally friendly policies of the university. The natural and tranquil environment combines perfectly with the modern style of Shenzhen and its convenient location. With the campus covering an area of nearly 2 square kilometers, there is plenty of room for students to cogitate and consider their research or relax and enjoy their lives on campus. With students transiting the campus on foot, by bike or utilizing our convenient electric shuttle buses, its commitment to environmental sustainability is strong.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Located in the dynamic metropolis of Shenzhen, China's Silicon Valley, SUSTech is centered on a thriving ecosystem of entrepreneurship, innovation and research. Some 43 per cent of the total PCT patent applications in China came from Shenzhen in 2017, and the city shows no signs of slowing down. As China's research and development center, it is the perfect place for entrepreneurs, researchers and innovators alike to make their home alongside tech giants such as Huawei, Tencent, BYD, DJI, BJI and Mindray.

&nbsp;

Shenzhen is also only distant 17 minutes from Hong Kong city centre by high speed train and about an hour from Macau by ferry.

&nbsp;

The successful candidate will join the recently established AI-Theory Lab in the department of Computer Science and Engineering with world-leading expertise in bio-inspired computation.

&nbsp;

Candidate Requirements

&nbsp;

Applicants must have recently completed a first class (or equivalent) undergraduate degree or a Masters degree with distinction in Computer Science or close to completion. Outstanding applicants from Mathematics are also encouraged to apply. The successful applicant must have excellent analytical and computational skills. He/She must be an excellent team player who can work independently and communicate well with others.&nbsp; If English is not their first language, they must have an IELTS score of 6+ overall, with no less than 6.0 in each component or TOEFL of 75+. Since the project is theoretically challenging, strong mathematical and probability theory skills are required.

This position is open to all qualified candidates independent of nationality.

&nbsp;

Funding and Eligibility

&nbsp;

This studentship covers the full tuition fee and provides a tax-free stipend of RMB 150,000 (approx. GBP 16,000/EUR 19,000) per annum for four years. The studentship also covers free on-campus accommodation and subsidized on-campus meals in over 10 different cafeterias/canteens as well as popular western and eastern fast food chains. Large funding is available for conference attendance and collaborative research visits to related organizations world-wide. The AI-Theory Lab at SUSTech maintains effective collaborations with all the research organisations with major expertise in the theory of bio-inspired computation world-wide.

&nbsp;

Supervisor Bio

&nbsp;

Professor Pietro S. Oliveto is Chair of the AI-Theory Lab at SUSTech. His main research interest is the rigorous performance analysis of bio-inspired computation techniques. He has successfully supervised PhD projects on the theoretical foundations of evolutionary computation, artificial immune systems, hyper-heuristics and automatic algorithm configurators. &nbsp;
