======================================================================
Extended submission deadline: June 7, 2024
======================================================================

TOPICS

The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all
computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods
for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,
and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The
workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from
decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human-
computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce,
multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial
optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving,
perception and natural language understanding and other computational
tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall
understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to
realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are
used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between
the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.

- Preference handling in artificial intelligence
- Preference handling in database systems
- Preference handling in multiagent systems
- Applications of preferences
- Preference elicitation and learning
- Preference representation and modeling
- Properties and semantics of preferences
- Practical preferences

FORMAT

The program will consist of presentations of peer-reviewed papers,
panel discussions about future challenges, and an invited talk.

SUBMISSION

We invite interested researchers to submit papers on any computational
aspect of preference handling. Submissions should be formatted
according to the ECAI formatting instructions and not exceed 7 pages
(plus 1 extra page for references). Supplementary material such as a
technical appendix or code and data is not required.

The purpose of workshop presentations is to get early feedback on new
ideas and to stimulate discussions between researchers interested in
preference handling. As such, there will be no formal proceedings, but
we may post accepted papers on the workshop website for the benefit of
the workshop participants if the authors agree to this and the paper
has not already been published.

Original submissions: Submissions about unpublished ideas will be
reviewed by a double-blind process and should be anonymous.

Multiple submissions: Authors who are seeking a broader forum for
already published work and who are interested in giving a
presentation to the workshop's audience may submit their work
non-anonymously while indicating where this work has been
published. We will only accept work which has been published in
the last calendar year (e.g., ECAI 2023, AAAI 2024, and any
conference held after May 2023).

Transferred papers: In addition to regular paper submissions, we
also consider accepting papers rejected from the main
conference. Decisions about acceptance of these transferred
papers will be based on the reviews of the ECAI PC.

[DMANET] FLLM2024 CFP (Hybrid Event and Co-Sponsored by IEEE): The 2nd International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models , 26-29 November, 2024 | Dubai, UAE

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]

The 2nd International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models
(FLLM2024)

Hybrid Event

https://fllm2024.fllm-conference.org/index.php

26-29 November, 2024 | Dubai, UAE

Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE UAE Section

*FLLM 2024 CFP:*

With the emergence of foundation models (FMs) and Large Language Models
(LLMs) that are trained on large amounts of data at scale and adaptable to
a wide range of downstream applications, Artificial intelligence is
experiencing a paradigm revolution. BERT, T5, ChatGPT, GPT-4, Falcon 180B,
Codex, DALL-E, Whisper, and CLIP are now the foundation for new
applications ranging from computer vision to protein sequence study and
from speech recognition to coding. Earlier models had a reputation of
starting from scratch with each new challenge. The capacity to experiment
with, examine, and comprehend the capabilities and potentials of
next-generation FMs is critical to undertaking this research and guiding
its path. Nevertheless, these models are currently inaccessible as the
resources required to train these models are highly concentrated in
industry, and even the assets (data, code) required to replicate their
training are frequently not released due to their demand in the real-time
industry. At the moment, mostly large tech companies such as OpenAI,
Google, Facebook, and Baidu can afford to construct FMs and LLMS. Despite
the expected widely publicized use of FMs and LLMS, we still lack a
comprehensive knowledge of how they operate, why they underperform, and
what they are even capable of because of their emerging global qualities.
To deal with these problems, we believe that much critical research on FMs
and LLMS would necessitate extensive multidisciplinary collaboration, given
their essentially social and technical structure.

The International Conference on Foundation and Large Language Models (FLLM)
addresses the architectures, applications, challenges, approaches, and
future directions. We invite the submission of original papers on all
topics related to FLLMs, with special interest in but not limited to:

- *Architectures and Systems*
- Transformers and Attention
- Bidirectional Encoding
- Autoregressive Models
- Massive GPU Systems
- Prompt Engineering
- Multimodal LLMs
- Fine-tuning
- *Challenges*
- Hallucination
- Cost of Creation and Training
- Energy and Sustainability Issues
- Integration
- Safety and Trustworthiness
- Interpretability
- Fairness
- Social Impact
- * Future Directions*
- Generative AI
- Explainability and EXplainable AI
- Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Federated Learning for FLLM
- Large Language Models Fine-Tuning on Graphs
- Data Augmentation
- * Natural Language Processing Applications*
- Generation
- Summarization
- Rewrite
- Search
- Question Answering
- Language Comprehension and Complex Reasoning
- Clustering and Classification
- * Applications*
- Natural Language Processing
- Communication Systems
- Security and Privacy
- Image Processing and Computer Vision
- Life Sciences
- Financial Systems

*Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings*

Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11"
two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted
electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 8 pages
(including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must
present original unpublished research that is not currently under review

Call for Papers

REX-IO 2024: 4th Workshop on Re-envisioning Extreme-Scale I/O for
Emerging Hybrid HPC Workloads

Held in conjunction with IEEE Cluster 2024, Kobe, Japan.

Workshop Date: September 24, 2024

(https://sites.google.com/view/rexio/)

*********************************************************************

================================
Scope, Aims, and Topics
================================
High Performance Computing (HPC) applications are evolving to include not only traditional modeling and simulation bulk-synchronous scale-up workloads but also scale-out workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics methods, deep learning, and complex multi-step workflows. With the advent of Exascale systems such as Frontier, workflows include multiple different components from both scale-up and scale-out communities operating together to drive scientific discovery and innovation. With the often conflicting design choices between optimizing for write- vs. read-intensive, having flexible I/O systems is crucial to support hybrid workloads. Another performance aspect is the intensifying complexity of parallel file and storage systems in large-scale cluster environments. Storage system designs are advancing beyond the traditional two-tiered file system and archive model by introducing new tiers of temporary, fast storage close to the computing resources with distinctly different performance characteristics.

The changing landscape of emerging hybrid HPC workloads along with the ever increasing gap between the compute and storage performance capabilities reinforces the need for an in-depth understanding of extreme-scale I/O and for rethinking existing data storage and management techniques. Traditional approaches of managing data might fail to address the challenges of extreme-scale hybrid workloads. Novel I/O optimization and management techniques integrating machine learning and AI algorithms, such as intelligent load balancing and I/O pattern prediction, are needed to ease the handling of the exponential growth of data as well as the complex hierarchies in the storage and file systems. Furthermore, user-friendly, transparent and innovative approaches are essential to adapt to the needs of different HPC I/O workloads while easing the scientific and commercial code development and efficiently utilizing extreme-scale parallel I/O and storage resources.

Established at IEEE Cluster 2021, the Re-envisioning Extreme-Scale I/O for Emerging Hybrid HPC Workloads (REX-IO) workshop has created a forum for experts, researchers, and engineers in the parallel I/O and storage, compute facility operation, and HPC application domains. REX-IO solicits novel work that characterizes I/O behavior and identifies the challenges in scientific data and storage management for emerging HPC workloads, introduces potential solutions to alleviate some of these challenges, and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed solutions to improve I/O performance for the exascale supercomputing era and beyond. We envision that this workshop will contribute to the community and further drive discussions between storage and I/O researchers, HPC application users and the data analytics community to give a better in-depth understanding of the impact on the storage and file systems induced by emerging HPC applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Understanding I/O inefficiencies in emerging workloads such as complex multi-step workflows, in-situ analysis, AI, and data analytics methods
- New I/O optimization techniques, including how ML and AI algorithms might be adapted for intelligent load balancing and I/O pattern prediction of complex, hybrid application workloads
- Performance benchmarking and modeling, and I/O behavior studies of emerging workloads
- New possibilities for the I/O optimization of emerging application workloads and their I/O subsystems
- Efficient monitoring tools for metadata and storage hardware statistics at runtime, dynamic storage resource management, and I/O load balancing
- Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management
- Understanding and efficiently utilizing complex storage hierarchies beyond the traditional two-tiered file system and archive model
- User-friendly tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and storage nodes
- Use of staging areas, such as burst buffers or other private or shared acceleration tiers for managing intermediate data between computation tasks
- Application of emerging big data frameworks towards scientific computing and analysis
- Alternative data storage models, including object and key-value stores, and scalable software architectures for data storage and archive
- Position papers on related topics

================================
Submission Guidelines
================================
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Indicate all authors and affiliations. All papers will be peer-reviewed using a single-blind peer-review process by at least three members of the program committee. Submissions should be a complete manuscript.

Statement concerning LLMs

Recognizing the developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we
would like to state that, in principle,
papers that include unedited text generated from large language models
(LLMs) are prohibited, unless the produced
text is used within the experimental part of the work and is clearly marked
as generated.

alongside regular papers. Position papers may be
also submitted as demo papers and presented as demonstrations of software
tools and products. They should describe
non-for-profit software tools in a prototype-, alpha-, or beta-version.

We invite two types of position papers:

+ Emerging research papers present preliminary research results from
work-in-progress based on sound scientific approach
but presenting work not completely validated as yet. They must describe
precisely the research problem and its rationale.
They must also define the intended future work including the expected
benefits from solution to the tackled problem.

Professor Zdzisław Pawlak Awards:

Professor Zdzisław Pawlak (1926–2006) has been regarded as one of the
fathers of Computer Science in Poland.
His theory of Rough Sets has been one of the most recognizable
contributions made by a scientist in Poland to
the area of Artificial Intelligence worldwide. In his research, Professor
Pawlak has always emphasized the need
for cross-disciplinary, cross-country, and cross-generation cooperation. In
Computer Science, there may emerge
a brilliant idea in someone's head, but it requires collaborators to make
it grow dynamically and then –
a number of subject matter experts, from various fields, to develop its
practical applications.

The following categories of awards are eligible for all paper submitted to
the FedCSIS conference:

+ Best Paper Award (€600): the best out of all papers accepted to the
conference.
+ Young Researcher Award (€400): the best out of papers whereby all
authors are younger than 40 years.
+ Industry Cooperation Award (€400): the best out of papers whereby
there are at least two different authors, one working in academia and
another one in industry.
+ International Cooperation Award (€400): the best out of papers whereby
there are at least two different authors working in institutions located in
two different countries.

We believe that all these categories reflect the principles of Professor
Pawlak's work. The awards are decided by the Committee of esteemed
scientists, who have had the privilege to know and cooperate with Professor
Pawlak. As already mentioned, all papers – submitted to all parts of
FedCSIS – are eligible. This way, the thematic integrity of FedCSIS is
emphasized. List of past winners is available at the conference WWW site.

***

Position paper submission and publication

+ Papers should be submitted by June 11, 2024 (strict deadline, no
extensions, submission will be done via EasyChair).
+ Position papers will be published as a Volume of the Annals of
Computer Science and Information Systems series, with an ISBN, ISSN and DOI
numbers. The papers will be submitted for indexing to DBLP Computer Science
Bibliography and Google Scholar. The Annals-CSIS volume will NOT be placed
in the IEEE Digital Library and will NOT be submitted to Clarivate
Analytics Web of Science.
+ Authors should submit a position paper in English, carefully checked
for correct grammar and spelling, using the on-line submission procedure.
The guidelines for paper formatting provided at the conference website
ought to be used for all submitted papers. The required submission format
is the same as the camera-ready format. Please check, and carefully follow,
the instructions and templates provided. Papers that are out of the
conference scope of the selected event, or that contain any form of
(self)plagiarism will be rejected without reviews. All position papers will

[DMANET] [CALL FOR PAPERS] SPICES 2024

SPICES 2024: Call for Papers and for Reproducibility Studies

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 3rd Workshop on Security and Privacy in Connected Embedded Systems (
SPICES 2024) -- https://www.tii.ae/workshop/spices

Co-located with EWSN 2024 -- December 10, 2024

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Embedded systems have become pervasive in modern society, from managing the
power grids that allow you to boil the kettle in the morning to monitoring
your sleep patterns at night. They play a crucial role in facilitating
communication, enabling access to information, and powering the unseen
minutiae of everyday life. Securing these networks and devices is of utmost
importance to ensure the safety and privacy of individuals, businesses, and
governments.

However, despite significant recent progress recognizing the need for
security in such systems, it is often still an afterthought. Furthermore,
emerging communication technologies such as 6G, cloud computing, and the
inexorable rise of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning present new
security threats and privacy issues that require innovative solutions.
Moreover, unconventional threats and vulnerabilities can circumvent
established security and privacy dogmas, exposing key weaknesses in
critical systems.

The Workshop on Security and Privacy in Connected Embedded Systems (SPICES)
aims to address these challenges and foster interdisciplinary collaboration
to explore innovative solutions for securing wireless and embedded systems.
The workshop provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and
industry experts to discuss the latest topics and challenges in wireless
and embedded systems security and privacy – not only on how existing
systems should be secured but also exploring important security aspects (or
lack of) in current research trends. We welcome submissions with unusual
takes on existing techniques, proposals for novel security and privacy
solutions, exposure of atypical weaknesses, and the application of
unconventional approaches to solving next-generation wireless security
challenges.

We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to

- Privacy-enhancing and anonymization techniques in embedded computing.

- Security and privacy techniques in embedded computing.

- Privacy-enhanced data analytics and storage in embedded computing.

- Privacy-preservation methods on context (e.g., location, energy) changes
in embedded computing.

- Offensive security and side-channel attacks on IoT devices.

- Security and possible weaknesses in 6G cellular networks (3GPP, ETSI,
IEEE, etc.).

- Testbed and experimental platforms for wireless security.

- Vehicular network security (e.g., drones, automotive, avionics,
autonomous driving).

- Security for UAV swarms (i.e., distributed, highly mobile systems).

- Communications security in satellite systems.

- Cryptography primitives and lightweight protocols for embedded IoT
devices.

- Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS).

- Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs).

- Internet of the Things (IoT) security and privacy.

- Smart Contracts and Blockchain for wireless communication.

- Multi-factor authentication methods for embedded IoT devices.

- Zero-knowledge and zero-trust techniques in embedded computing.

[DMANET] [CFP] Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us (Special Session 11), IEEE MetroAgriFor Workshop

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

Dear Researchers/Authors,
You are invited to submit your high-quality research findings to the
Special Session 11: "Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us" of
the 2024 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Agriculture and
Forestry (MetroAgriFor).

October 29-31, 2024 - Padua, Italy

Website: https://www.metroagrifor.org/special-session-11

Aims and Scope
The role of sensing, including in-situ, proximity and remote, is increasingly crucial for agriculture and forestry.
Huge investments have been made in this field - consider for instance satellite constellations for remote sensing, the thriving UAV sector, and the dawning sector of terrestrial rovers - and benefits are evident in several application areas.
The other side of the coin is represented by the data platforms used to collect, store, and process the huge amount of data coming from sensing platforms.
Such data platforms should, among others, provide interoperable data through open interfaces (APIs) to different classes of users, but such functionality has not yet reached its full potential.

In Europe, there have been several recent initiatives focused on enhancing data sharing and processing.
One key effort is the European Strategy for Data, which introduces the concept of a Common European Data Space and includes actions to deploy Agriculture and Green Deal sectorial data spaces.
Additionally, the Horizon Europe framework is providing funding for the establishment of European Partnerships that bring together the European Commission with private and/or public partners to address pressing challenges through collaborative research and innovation projects.
One such partnership, the European Partnership for Agriculture of Data, aims to support sustainable agriculture in the EU and improve policy monitoring and implementation by leveraging digital and data technologies for environmental observation.

The goal of this special session is to investigate the potential and the challenges of both sensing and data platforms, looking to future developments, and also considering economic and legal aspects to be carefully taken into consideration.

Contributions are expected to contribute to, but are not limited to, the following topics:

- sensing systems, both local and remote, and recent developments;
- state of the art of data platforms linked to sensing systems, standards, interoperability enablers, and sustainability of their business model;
- GEOSS Data Sharing and Management Principles, FAIR principles, and other interoperable solutions with the potential to further push the use of sensing data;
- economic and legal aspects that can fuel or limit the use of such systems.

Important dates
- Extended Abstract Submission: June 10, 2024
- Extended Abstract Notification: September 1, 2024
- Final Paper Submission: September 20, 2024

Submission Instruction
Authors should prepare an Extended Abstract (4-5 pages) that clearly
indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the
work. The Extended Abstract should include the title of the paper, names
and affiliations of the authors, an abstract, keywords, an introduction
describing the nature of the problem and the state of the art in the field
of interest, a description of the contribution, the results achieved and
their applicability, conclusions, and references.
When the review process has been completed, authors receive a notification
of either acceptance or rejection of the submission. If the paper has been
accepted, the authors can prepare a final paper that incorporates the
reviewers' suggestions.
The format for the final paper is identical to the format for the extended
abstract except for the number of pages: the full paper has a required
minimum length of five (5) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages.
