The Workshop on Massively Parallel Processing is a forum that focuses on computer systems that utilize thousands of "processing elements" that work together to solve a single problem. As this is a workshop, the focus is on identifying new and novel ideas rather than proving incremental advances. By concurrently exploring architecture, programming models, algorithms and applications, this workshop seeks to advance the state-of-the-art of MPP systems. The Fifth Workshop on Massively Parallel Processing (WMPP'05) builds on the success of the four previous successful workshops, held as part of IPDPS'01, IPDPS'02, IPDPS'03, and IPDPS'04 respectively. WMPP has picked up momentum and is now pushing the limits of single day format. Technical presentations have come from industry (e.g. IBM), from national laboratories (e.g. UCAR, JPL), and from academic institutions from across the globe. The First and Second workshops featured invited keynote talks by Peter Kogge of Notre Dame and David Bader of the University of New Mexico, respectively. The Third workshop featured an invited keynote talk by Thomas Sterling of Cal Tech and NASA JPL. The Fourth workshop featured an invited keynote talk by Mootaz Elnozahy, Senior Manager and Master Inventor at IBM Research in Austin Texas. Following the usual practice at IPDPS, all WMPP papers have been published with the paper abstracts in a hardcopy volume and the complete paper in an accompanying CD-ROM. =================================================================== Topics of Interest Include: -------------------------- Architectures and Experimental Systems + Architecturally, how can a massive amount of "processing elements" communicate and coordinate their activities? + What is a "processing element" and how are they interconnected and coordinated? + What metrics can we use to demonstrate new and novel MPP systems? + How can we model and simulate MPP systems? Parallelism, Programming Models and Algorithms + Where is the parallelism (i.e. which part of what problems should be placed in the parallel paradigm)? + How can we program MPP systems? + How can we improve the productivity of MPP systems? + How can we exploit characteristics of certain problem domains to improve the system's performance, programmability and/or user productivity? + How can we debug MPP programs? Perspectives, Positions and Problems + Where are we now? What have we learned positively and negatively about our current systems? + How are we doing with our large systems? + What must be changed to utilize "massively parallel" systems? + What are the problems that need to be addressed? Future Factors? + What are some of the future issues that we need to start considering now to achieve MPP systems? + How can we utilize power more efficiently? + How can systems handle unreliable components? + Can we program our way around some of these issues or must the system appear to be reliable? We hope that you will enjoy the workshop! --Ray Hoare, WMPP'05 General Chair =================================================================== Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- Submissions should be a complete manuscript in Adobe PDF or PostScript format (PDF preferred), formatted single-spaced in a 12 point font, with no more than 12 pages. Submissions must include the submission title; authors' full names, addresses, phone numbers, and FAX numbers; as well as the authors' email addresses. All manuscripts received by this date will be reviewed by the program committee; authors will be notified of the paper's acceptance or rejection by email. =================================================================== Important Dates: (EXTENDED!!!!) ---------------- Papers Due: 12:00 PM EST, December 31, 2004 Paper Decisions: January 7, 2005 Final Manuscript: December 21, 2005 (Submit via email to hoare@engr.pitt.edu ) =================================================================== Workshop Organizers: -------------------- Organizing Committee: --------------------- General Chair: * Raymond Hoare, University of Pittsburgh Program Chair: * John Dorband, NASA Steering Committee: * Robert Walker, Kent State University * Johnnie Baker, Kent State University * Philip A.

The e-mail below is a reminder of the call for papers. Looking forward to seeing you at ESANN'2005, The organizing committee. ===================================================== ESANN'2005 13th European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks Bruges (Belgium) - April 27-28-29, 2005 Announcement and call for papers ===================================================== Technically co-sponsored by the International Neural Networks Society, the European Neural Networks Society, the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, the IEEE Region 8 (to be confirmed), the IEEE Benelux Section. The call for papers for the ESANN'2005 conference is available on the Web: http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann For those of you who maintain WWW pages including lists of related ANN sites: we would appreciate if you could add the above URL to your list; thank you very much! We try as much as possible to avoid multiple sendings of this call for papers; however we apologize if you receive this e-mail twice, despite our precautions. ESANN'2005 is organized in collaboration with the UCL (Universite catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve) and the KULeuven (Katholiek Universiteit Leuven). Scope and topics ---------------- Since its first happening in 1993, the European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks has become the reference for researchers on fundamentals and theoretical aspects of artificial neural networks. Each year, around 100 specialists attend ESANN, in order to present their latest results and comprehensive surveys, and to discuss the future developments in this field. The ESANN'2005 conference will focus on fundamental aspects of ANNs: theory, models, learning algorithms, mathematical and statistical aspects, in the context of function approximation, classification, data analysis, control, time-series prediction, signal processing, vision, etc. Papers on links and comparisons between ANNs and other domains of research (such as statistics, signal processing, biology, psychology, evolutive learning, bio-inspired systems, etc.) are encouraged. Papers will be presented orally (no parallel sessions) and in poster sessions; all posters will be complemented by a short oral presentation during a plenary session. The topic of the paper decides if it better fits into an oral or a poster session, not its quality. The selection of posters will be identical to oral presentations, and both will be printed in the same way in the proceedings. Nevertheless, authors have the choice to indicate their choice for oral or poster presentation only. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics covered during the ESANN conferences: - Models and architectures - Learning algorithms - Theory - Mathematics - Statistical data analysis - Classification - Approximation of functions - Time series forecasting - Nonlinear dimension reduction - Multi-layer Perceptrons - RBF networks - Self-organizing maps - Vector quantization - Support Vector Machines - Recurrent networks - Fuzzy neural nets - Hybrid networks - Bayesian neural nets - Cellular neural networks - Signal processing - Independent component analysis - Natural and artificial vision - Adaptive control - Identification of non-linear dynamical systems - Biologically plausible networks - Bio-inspired systems - Cognitive psychology - Evolutiv learning - Adaptive behaviour Special sessions ---------------- Special sessions will be organized by renowned scientists in their respective fields. Papers submitted to these sessions are reviewed according to the same rules as any other submission. Authors who submit papers to one of these sessions are invited to mention it on the author submission form; nevertheless, submissions to the special sessions must follow the same format, instructions and deadlines as any other submission, and must be sent to the same address. The following special sessions will be organized at ESANN'2005: 1. Kernel methods and the exponential family A. Smola, National ICT Australia, ANU (Australia) S. Canu, PSI, CNRS - INSA Rouen (France) 2. Classification using non-standard metrics B. Hammer, Univ. Osnabruck, T. Villmann, Univ. Leipzig (Germany) 3. Evolutionary and neural computation C.

These applications and services, in addition to the grid infrastructure itself, all rely on network communication. Effectively utilizing high-speed networks, however, is not entirely trivial. Network communication will also encompass far more than simple, point-to-point data transfers. Advanced network capabilities will include quality of service, security, filtering, reliable multicast, high performance transport protocols, monitoring, performance measurements and content-based routing, to name a few. In many cases, new network services will offer applications a control plane whereby it can control network behavior in the data plane. Hence, grid applications and middleware that can be more network-aware, and even topology-aware, will be able to achieve higher performance, and responsiveness while lower network demand. Meanwhile, performance and specific requirements of Grid applications will push the evolution of network protocols. For these reasons, the Workshop of Grids and Advanced Networks (GAN'05) will be convened as part of CCGrid 2005 to bring together researchers in both grids and networks to present the latest work integrating these two fields. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to : * Grids and High-Performance Networks * Communication Middleware * Multicast for Grids * QoS for Grids * Grid Network Security * Grid Network Services, e.g., monitoring, filtering * Transport protocol for Grids * Network resource allocation * Content-based Networking * Bulk Data Transfer * Active and Programmable Networks for Grids * Resource Discovery * Topology Construction * Network Protocols Enhancement for Grids * Grid Applications using advanced network capabilities * Optical network solutions supporting Grids You can find at http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/laurent.lefevre/gan04 program and slides of last GAN workshop.

These platforms can be built in a pre-defined, stable, organized fashion (more like today's Grids) or can be self-organizing, ad-hoc, decentralized, like in Peer-to-Peer systems. Supporting computation on such systems raises a novel set of questions. Because of size, autonomy and the high resource volatility, these platforms provide the opportunity to revisit major fields of distributed computing: protocols, infrastructures, security, fault tolerance, scheduling, performance, services, applications, incentives for cooperation, etc. Moreover, new issues concerning installation, utilization, flexibility and scalability become more relevant than ever. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work describing current research and novel ideas in the area of Global, Desktop Grid and Peer-to-Peer Computing as well as experiences with the deployment of related technologies. Due to the growing popularity of the Workshop and the aim to keep the technical level outstanding, only papers with quantitative evaluations (experimental or theoretical) will be considered for review. It is expected that the proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA. Best papers will be selected for publication in a special issue of Journal of Grid Computing (JoGC). We will also offer a Best Presentation Award. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Global Computing, Desktop Grids and Peer-to-Peer platforms * P2P Merging / Interoperability with Grids (OGSA/WSRF) * Software technology evaluations: Web Services, Grid services * Middleware, programming models, environments and toolkits * Protocols for resource management (discovery, reservation, scheduling, monitoring) * Economic considerations of resource usage (protocols, accounting) * Storage in Global Computing infrastructures (strategies, protocols) * Performance measurements, benchmarking, and modeling of Global Computing and Peer-to-Peer systems * Security (trust models, infrastructure, sandbox) * Discouraging free riding (incentive techniques, detection) * Result certification (detection/tolerance of corrupted results) * Programming models for large-scale distributed systems * Applications (programmed from scratch, ported from sequential or parallel implementations, adapted to fit a global computing environment) Paper submission We invite you to submit a full paper of up to 8 pages in IEEE format (10pt font, two-column, single-spaced).

Parallel and grid computing are solutions to the increasing need for computing power. High level languages offer a high degree of abstraction which ease the development of complex systems. Being based on formal semantics, it is even possible to certify the correctness of critical parts of the applications. Algorithmic skeletons, parallel extensions of functional languages, such as Haskell and ML, or parallel logic and constraint programming, parallel execution of declarative programs such SQL queries, etc. have produced methods and tools that improve the price/performance ratio of parallel software, and broaden the range of target applications. The PAPP workshop focuses on practical aspects of high-level parallel programming: design, implementation and optimization of high-level programming languages and tools (performance predictors working on high-level parallel/grid source code, visualisations of abstract behaviour, automatic hotspot detectors, high-level GRID resource managers, compilers, automatic generators, etc.), applications in all fields of computational science, benchmarks and experiments. Research on high-level grid programming is particularly relevant. The PAPP workshop is aimed both at researchers involved in the development of high level approaches for parallel and grid computing and computational science researchers who are potential users of these languages and tools. TOPICS We welcome submission of original, unpublished papers in English on topics including: * high-level models (CGM, BSP, MPM, LogP, etc.) and tools for parallel and grid computing * high-level parallel languages design, implementation and optimisation * functional, logic, constraint programming for parallel, distributed and grid computing systems * algorithmic skeletons, patterns and high level parallel libraries * generative (e.g. template-based) programming with algorithmic skeletons, patterns and high level parallel libraries * applications in all fields of high-performance computing (using high-level tools) * benchmarks, experiments using such languages and tools PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers in English presenting original research. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers will go through a rigorous reviewing process. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three referees.

DCOSS is motivated by the successful ALGOSENSORS '04 (Algorithmic aspects of wireless sensor networks) workshop, which was co-located with ICALP and LICS in Finland on 16 July, 2004. While the scope of ALGOSENSORS was focused on algorithms for wireless sensor networks, DCOSS '05 is intended to cover several aspects of distributed computing in sensor systems such as high level abstractions, computational models, systematic design methodologies, algorithms, analysis and applications. The conference will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to the above high-level aspects of distributed sensor systems. In addition to contributed papers, the meeting will also include keynote addresses by leading researchers, a panel discussion, and a poster/presentation session. Located in Marina del Rey, a beach side community that is the home of the world's largest man-made harbor, the meeting venue can be easily reached from the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Most of the world famous attractions of the greater Los Angeles area - including the Santa Monica mountains, the Getty Center, Hollywood, Venice Beach, Disneyland, and Universal Studios can be easily reached from the Marina.

IMPORTANT DATES January 10, 2005 Conference Submission Due March 15, 2005 Notification of Acceptance/Rejection April 15, 2005 Camera-Ready Paper Due ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ============================== CALL FOR PAPERS Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes them immensely useful for data collection and analysis. While much ongoing research has addressed networking, communication and low-level self-configuration issues in such systems, there are also significant challenges pertaining to systematic design, algorithm development and analysis, and abstract modeling in order to achieve efficient and robust realizations of large-scale distributed sensor systems. The large number of sensor devices involved, severe power, computational and memory limitations, resource heterogeneity, dense deployment and frequent failures pose novel challenges to design, algorithms, analysis and implementation. The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications, and systematic design techniques and tools), but networking-related contributions that support high level abstractions are also welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Computation and programming models - Energy models, minimization, awareness - Distributed algorithms for collaborative information processing - Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability, fault-tolerance - Abstractions for modular design - Languages, operating systems - Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration - Dynamic resource management - Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level) - Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives - Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment and operation - Design automation and application synthesis techniques - Case studies: lessons from real world deployments Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on computational aspects of distributed sensor systems. Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 14 single-spaced pages using 12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures and tables. References may be included in addition to the 14 pages. Authors need to make sure that the electronically submitted files are formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal. Submission procedures are available via Web access at http://www.dcoss.org/ All manuscripts will be reviewed. Manuscripts must be received by January 10, 2005, by 5 p.m. U.S. Pacific Coast Time. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by March 15, 2005. Camera-ready papers will be due April 15, 2005. DCOSS '05 Proceedings will be distributed at the Conference. PROGRAM CHAIR Viktor K.

Meeting the grand challenges of autonomic computing requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software and system architectures that support the effective integration of the constituent technologies. The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC'05) is to bring together researchers from different fields of research who are addressing aspects of self- management in computing systems. In doing so, we hope to develop and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale self-managing systems. Papers are solicited on a broad array of topics of relevance to autonomic computing; particularly those that bear on connections and relationships among different areas of research or report on prototype systems or experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Autonomic computing systems or prototype systems that exhibit self-monitoring, self-configuration, self- optimization, self-healing, and/or self-protection. - Software architectures for self-managing systems, based on Open Grid Services, Web Services, or novel paradigms based on biological, economic, social, or other analogies. - Specific self-managing components, such as server, client, database, storage, or network elements. Emphasis should be placed on interactions with other components, or techniques or lessons that may generalize to other components. - Toolkits, environments, models, languages, runtime and compiler technologies for building self-managing components, systems or applications. - New technologies supporting system management, such as service-level agreements, negotiation or conversation support, and behavior enforcement. - System-level technologies, middleware or services that entail interactions among two or more components of self- managing systems, such as health monitoring, dependency analysis, problem localization or remediation, workload management, and provisioning. - Interfaces to autonomic systems, including user interfaces, interfaces for monitoring and controlling behavior, and techniques for defining, distributing, and understanding policies. - Fundamental science of self-managing systems: understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent behavior, theoretical investigations of coupled feedback loops, predictive methods, robustness, and related topics. - Experiences with autonomic system or component prototypes: measurements, evaluations, or analyses of system behavior, user studies, or experiences with large-scale deployments of self-managing systems or applications. PAPER AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS Full papers (NEW: 8-12 pages in length) and posters (2 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing as indicated above. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the ICAC-05 review process.

CBMS 2005: IEEE on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS) Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society June 23-24, 2005 Dublin, Ireland -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers http://datadog.unile.it/cbms2005/cfp.htm http://conferences.computer.org/CBMS2005/index.html ***************** Bio-informatics, genomics, proteomics and medical image analysis are emerging methods in health care. Navigating between phenotype and genotype means that clinical data and genetic assessment are integrated in patient investigations. What is missing today is: * the full integration of these methods and technologies to enhance all phases of health care, including diagnosis, prognosis, etc.; * the dissemination of such methods in the clinical practice, whenever they are developed, deployed and maintained. Such a vision requires the design and implementation of computer tools, methods and platforms for seamless biomedical data and bioinformatics tools integration. Main issues to realize such a vision are: * Integration of multiple laboratories collecting genomics and post-genomics data, so that biology or bio-informatics research laboratories: - can continue to maintain their own biological, biomedical and computing resources autonomously; - can face effectively the growth of data they need to manage and process exploiting recent algorithms such as data mining taking into account that biomedical data are produced and stored continuously; * Provision of large computing power especially in areas such as: - The medical image processing community that is facing a growing need to analyse 2D, 3D, 4D images, to simulate medical treatments or surgeries (radiotherapy, plastic surgery, etc.), and to develop computer aided surgery; - Integration and access physicians to all of their patients'medical data from their office. The grid paradigm offers CPU and data handling capabilities and allows users and laboratories to share their facilities (computing and data storage resources, instruments, knowledge, etc.) through high bandwidth networks between dynamically formed Virtual Organizations. Grid middleware currently offers basic services for Grid management, and application development and deployment. To face the complexity of novel, cooperative, distributed Health and Bioinformatics applications, new specialized Grid services have to be developed: in such a way Grids can be deployed to address the needs of the biomedical community. The main goal of the track is to discuss well-known and emerging bio data-intensive systems in the context of Grids and to analyse technologies and methodologies useful to develop such systems in these environments. In particular, this Conference Track aims at offering a forum of discussion where young researchers and PhD students could present their research activities, either at an early or mature phase. TOPICS OF INTEREST include, but are not limited to: * Grid solutions for bio data-intensive applications * Grid infrastructures for bio data analysis * High-performance computing for bio data-intensive applications * Grid computing infrastructures, middleware and tools for Health * Grid computing biomedical services * Collaboration technologies * Bio data analysis and management * Databases and the grid in biomedical field * Extracting knowledge from bio data grids * Data grids for bioinformatics * Security in bio data grids IMPORTANT DATES January 26, 2005 Submission of (6-page, maximum) paper March 1, 2005 Author Notification March 24, 2005 Final camera-ready paper due March 24, 2005 Pre-registration deadline SUBMISSION DETAILS No hardcopy submissions are being accepted.
