Call for Papers
Scaling up machine-learning (ML), data mining (DM) and reasoning algorithms
from Artificial Intelligence (AI) for massive datasets is a major technical
challenge in the times of "Big Data". The past ten years has seen the rise
of multi-core and GPU based computing. In parallel and distributed
computing, several frameworks such as OpenMP, OpenCL, and Spark continue to
appear to facilitate scaling up ML/DM/AI algorithms using higher levels of
abstraction. We invite novel works that advance the trio-fields of ML/DM/AI
through development of scalable algorithms or computing frameworks. Ideal
submissions would be characterized as scaling up X on Y, where potential
choices for X and Y are provided below.
Scaling up
recommender systems
gradient descent algorithms
deep learning
sampling/sketching techniques
clustering (agglomerative techniques, graph clustering, clustering
heterogeneous data)
classification (SVM and other classifiers)
SVD
probabilistic inference (bayesian networks)
logical reasoning
graph algorithms and graph mining
On
Multi-core architectures/frameworks (OpenMP)
Many-core (GPU) architectures/frameworks (OpenCL, OpenACC, CUDA, Intel TBB)
Distributed systems/frameworks (GraphLab, MPI, Hadoop, Spark, Storm, Mahout
etc.)
Journal publication
Selected papers from the workshop will be published in a Special Issue of
Future Generation Computer Systems, Elsevier's International Journal of
eScience. Special Issue papers will undergo additional review.
Awards
Best Paper Award: The program committee will nominate a paper for the Best
Paper award. In past years, the Best Paper award included a cash prize.
Stay tuned for this year!
Travel awards:Students with accepted papers have a chance to apply for a
travel award. Please find details on the IEEE IPDPS web page.

July 14-20-21 (plus activities in July 15-19) BERLIN
---------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Only 30 positions are available for students: tell us on your
participation during the registration process of GECCO 2017 <<<
*** Call for Participation***
SIGEVO is a special interest group of ACM always looking for new ways to
improve the research and learning on genetic and evolutionary computation.
In this quest for disseminating the knowledge and making activities in
this domain we will organize, for the first time, a Summer School around
GECCO 2017 in Berlin: S3 (Sigevo Summer School).
We seek for PhD students to participate in this great event, offering:
1. One day before GECCO (July 14th), with lectures and interactions to
world class researchers in this domain.
2. Two days after GECCO (July 20th and 21st) of discussions,
presentations, and joint works.
3. Oriented interactions and learning in tutorials and sessions of GECCO.
4. Great networking opportunities and up to 6 awards to recognize
outstanding performance.
The many appealing activities during S3 will include:
- A first day (get together) where students will meet each other, form
groups, and listen to short lessons. An assignment will be done to
students and links for a close interaction to mentors will be created
for the whole school and conference duration.
- Questions, competitions and awards (economic plus diploma prizes) will
be offered to the students who perform the best, granted at the end of
the summer school. We have up to 6 awards in different categories: come
and participate!
- Opportunities to attend a big number of high quality GECCO tutorials
plus continuous interaction to the summer school staff and mentors, what
will raise the abilities and vision of students: don't miss this.
- The first day after GECCO, students will discuss with mentors, so as
to finish their assignments. Also, the staff in S3 will evaluate during
this day the solution to the questions made the first day and offer, on
the very last day, the results and winners.
- The last day of the summer school (two days after GECCO) students will
present their assignments to the whole board of mentors. Enjoy this
boosting to your knowledge, your PhD thesis, and your networking to this
community!
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO:
--------------------------------------------
- Attend *ALL* the 1+2 days of S3, plus attending some tutorials and
sessions of GECCO 2017.
- Have a valid registration to GECCO itself, plus a small fee of 100
euros to participate in the school.
- Fulfill an assignment, participate in the school challenges, and
follow the standards of proper social and research behavior.
Students of the S3 will be eligible for travel, register and lodging
grants of GECCO.
See the special section on S3 that will appear soon in the web page of
GECCO: http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org/index.html/Summer+School

International Workshop on Exploring Old Maps (EOM 2017)
April 6 and 7, 2017 *** University of Wuerzburg
http://exploringoldmaps.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/
DESCRIPTION
After last year's success, we are happy to announce the return of the
International Workshop on Exploring Old Maps (EOM). Many libraries own
an extensive collection of historical maps. Beside their value as
historical objects, these maps are an important source of information
for researchers in various scientific disciplines. This ranges from the
actual history of cartography and general history to the geographic and
social sciences. With the progressing digitisation of libraries and
archives, these maps become more easily available to a larger public. A
basic level of digitisation consists of scanned bitmap images, tagged
with some basic bibliographic information such as title, author and year
of production. In order to make the maps more accessible, further
information describing the contained information is desirable. This
would enable more user-friendly interfaces, relevant queries of a
database, and automatic analyses.
TARGETED AUDIENCE
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for the communication
of results (which may appear elsewhere) that may be useful to the
community. Researchers and practitioners of all areas working on
unlocking the content of old maps are welcome to participate. We welcome
humanities scholars, developers, computer and information scientists as
well as librarians, archivists and curators. Submissions are welcome
from researchers at all career stages.
SCOPE OF INTEREST
Relevant topics are (but are not limited to) the following:
* Spatial analysis and applications of GIS concerning old maps
* Design and application of algorithms for analysis and visualisation
methods
* Digital media, digitisation, curation of digital objects
* Crowdsourcing, user research, citizen science, and public humanities
* Digital Libraries for old maps
* Visualisation of old maps
* Virtual Research Environments and Infrastructures
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for presentations, posters and
demonstrations.
The workshop will not have formal proceedings. Therefore, abstracts
submitted to the EOM 2017 may report on work in progress, be submitted
to other places, and they may even already have appeared or been
accepted elsewhere. We particularly welcome submissions that have the
potential to stimulate the collaboration between the humanities and
computer science. The reviewing process will mainly determine whether a
submitted abstract promises to fit into the scope of this workshop.
Based on the review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied
program, the Program Committee will decide about the acceptance of
submissions.
The authors of the papers accepted for EOM 2017 will be invited to
submit the final versions of their abstracts for on-line publication in
the digital workshop booklet and will be considered for a special issue
in an appropriate journal. Abstracts must be submitted to EOM 2017 via
EasyChair<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eom2017>. Each
submission must specify its type in the EasyChair submission form. The
abstracts must not exceed 2 pages and the second page must contain only
references and figures. All submissions must use the provided Word or
LaTeX
template<http://exploringoldmaps.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/submissions.html>
in DIN A4. Abstracts for demonstrations should include descriptive
screenshots and a description of the system's functionalities.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submissions of abstracts: February 1, 2017 (hard deadline)
Notification of acceptance: February 15, 2017
Workshop Exploring Old Maps: Thursday April 6 (afternoon) and Friday
