Call for papers: PDSW’21
The 6th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop
http://www.pdsw.org/
Monday, November 15, 2021 9:00am - 5:30pm (CST)
Held in conjunction with SC21, St. Louis, MO
In cooperation with: IEEE TCHPC
=======================================================================================
We are pleased to announce the 6th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop
(PDSW’21). PDSW'21 will be hosted in conjunction with SC21: The International
Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis.
Efficient data storage and data management are crucial to scientific
productivity in both traditional simulation-oriented HPC environments and Big
Data analysis environments. This issue is further exacerbated by the growing
volume of experimental and observational data, the widening gap between the
performance of computational hardware and storage hardware, and the emergence
of new data-driven algorithms in machine learning.
The goal of this workshop is to facilitate research that addresses the most
critical challenges in scientific data storage and data processing. We
therefore encourage the community to submit original manuscripts that:
- introduce and evaluate novel algorithms or architectures
- inform the community of important scientific case studies or workloads
- validate the reproducibility of previously published work
Special attention will be given to issues in which community collaboration is
crucial for problem identification, workload capture, solution
interoperability, standardization, and shared tools. We also strongly
encourage papers to share complete experimental environment information
(software version numbers, benchmark configurations, etc.) to facilitate
collaboration.
Topics of interest include the following:
- Scalable architectures for data storage, archival, and virtualization
- Performance benchmarking, resource management, and workload studies
- Programmability of storage systems
- Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management
- Alternative data storage models, including object stores and key-value stores
- Programming models and frameworks for data intensive computing
- Techniques for data integrity, availability, reliability, and fault tolerance
- Productivity tools for data intensive computing, data mining, and knowledge
discovery
- Application of emerging big data frameworks towards scientific computing and
analysis
- Enabling cloud and container-based models for scientific data analysis
- Data filtering/compressing/reduction techniques
- Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data
intensive components
- Integrating computation into the memory and storage hierarchy to facilitate
in-situ and in-transit data processing
Regular Paper Submissions
--------------------------------------
All papers will be evaluated by a competitive peer review process under the
supervision of the workshop program committee. Selected papers and associated
talk slides will be made available on the workshop web site. The papers will
also be published by the IEEE TCHPC.
Authors of regular papers are strongly encouraged to submit Artifact
Description (AD) Appendices that can help to reproduce and validate their
experimental results. While the inclusion of the AD Appendices is optional for
PDSW’21, submissions that are accompanied by AD Appendices will be given
favorable consideration for the PDSW Best Paper award.
PDSW’21 follows the SC21 Reproducibility Initiative
(https://sc21.supercomputing.org/submit/reproducibility-initiative/). For
Artifact Description (AD) Appendices, we will use the format of the SC21 for
PDSW'21 submissions. The AD should include a field for one or more links to
data (zenodo, figshare, etc.) and code (github, gitlab, bitbucket, etc.)
repositories. For the Artifacts that will be placed in the code repository, we
encourage authors to follow the PDSW'21 Artifact Packaging Guidelines on how to
structure the artifact, as it will make it easier for the reviewing committee
and readers of the paper in the future.
Submit a not previously published paper as a PDF file, indicate authors and
affiliations. Papers must be up to 5 pages, not less than 10 point font and not
including references and optional reproducibility appendices. Papers must use
the IEEE conference paper template available
at:https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Work-in-progress (WIP) Submissions
--------------------------------------------------
There will be a WIP session where presenters provide brief 5-minute talks on
their on-going work, with fresh problems/solutions. WIP content is typically
material that may not be mature or complete enough for a full paper submission
and will not be included in the proceedings. A one-page abstract is required
