Call for Paper - IEEE Cybermatics 2024 (Cybermatics 2024) Copenhagen, Denmark. August 19-22, 2024 Website: https:\/\/ieee-cybermatics.org/2024 ??????????????????????????????? - * Overview * - The 2024 IEEE Cybermatics Congress is held in Copenhagen, Denmark, August 19-22, 2024. Advances in computers, informati- on and networks is bringing a digital cyber world to our daily lives. Numerous digital things or cyber entities are generated and will reside in the cyber components, to have a cyber exis- tence in cyber world. Cyberization is an emerging trend formi- ng the new cyber world and reforming conventional worlds towa- rds cyber-enabled hyper worlds. Cybermatics is to build syste- matic knowledge about new phenomena, behaviors, properties and practices in cyberspace, cyberization and cyber-enabled hyper- worlds. Cybermatics is characterized by not only catching up with the human intelligence (e.g., Intelligent sensing, making decision and control, etc), but also learn from the nature-in- spired attributes (e.g., dynamics, self-adaptability, energy- saving). The IEEE Cybermatics Congress originated from the 2013 World Cybermatics Congress (Beijing, China). Cybermatics 2024 is the continuation after the success of Cybermatics 2023 in Ocean Flower Island, Cybermatics 2022 in Finland, Cybermatics 2021 in Australia, Cybermatics 2020 in Greece, Cybermatics 20- 19 in Atlanta, Cybermatics 2018 in Halifax, Cybermatics 2017 in Exeter, Cybermatics 2016 in Chengdu, Cybermatics 2015 in Sydney, and Cybermatics 2014 in Taipei. IEEE Cybermatics 2024 aims to provide to high-profile platform for researchers and engineers to exchange and explore state-of-art innovations in cyber technology and their applications in physical, social and mental worlds. - * Congress Conferences * - * The 7th IEEE International Conference on Blockchain (IEEE Blockchain 2024) - To Submit: https://edas.info/N32142 * The 17th IEEE International Conference on Cyber, Physical, and Social Computing (IEEE CPSCom 2024) - To Submit: https://edas.info/N32146 * The 17th IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (IEEE iThings 2024) - To Submit: https://edas.info/N32145 * The 20th IEEE International Conference on Green Computing & Communications (IEEE GreenCom 2024) - To Submit: https://edas.info/N32147 * The 10th IEEE International Conference on Smart Data (IEEE SmartData 2024) - To Submit: https://edas.info/N32144 - * Important Dates * - * Workshop Proposal Due: March 10, 2024 * Paper Submission Deadline: May 1, 2024 (Firm!) * Author Notification: June 1, 2024 * Camera-ready and Registration: June 20, 2024 * Conference Date: August 19-22, 2024 - * Scope and Interests * - The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicate- s an increasing burden placed on application developers due to the management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hard- ware and its associated performance characteristics. Many exis- ting scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of paral- lelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, no- vel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parall- el and distributed computing (PDC) community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet th- ese challenges in order to accommodate productive code develop- ment and effective system use. However, the scientific applica- tion community still needs to identify the benefit through pra- ctical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability. In part- icular, we will focus on the following topics in parallel and distributed scientific and engineering applications, and not limited to: * Big Scientific Data * Performance modeling and simulation for the execution of sca- lable scientific applications on new heterogeneous architect- ures. * Graph analytics with their (scientific) applications * Code modernization methodologies and experiences for adapting the changes in future computing systems. * Languages for scientific computing on hybrid systems. (e.g., Python, MPI+X where X is OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA etc.) * Tools and techniques for improving the performance, reliabil- ity and resilience of scientific applications. * Use cases of enterprise distributed computing technology (Su- ch as MapReduce, Data Analytics and Machine-learning tools) in scientific and engineering applications. * Scalable parallel and distributed algorithms supporting scie- nce and engineering applications. * Performance portability across heterogeneous architecture. - * Paper Submission Guidelines * - All papers must be submitted electronically and in PDF fo- rmat. The material presented should be original and not publis- hed or under submission elsewhere. Authors should submit either full papers of up to 10 pages, or short papers of up to 4 pages , following strictly the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Man- uscript style, using two-column, single-space format, with 10- point font size.

The 18th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering (BigDataSE-2024) December 17-21, 2024, Sanya, Hainan, China http://ieee-aiplus.org/2024/bigdatase/index.php INTRODUCTION Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity). Various technologies are being discussed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud/stream computing platforms, and high performance/parallel computing platforms. The 18th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering (BigDataSE-2024) is going to provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data and broadly related areas. The goal of this conference is to promote community-wide discussion for identifying advanced applications, technologies and theories for big data. We seek submissions of papers that invent novel techniques, investigate new applications, introduce advanced methodologies, propose promising research directions and discuss approaches for unsolved issues. BigDataSE-2024 will be hosted in Sanya, China. Sanya, a picturesque coastal city, offers an ideal setting for the conference and provides opportunities for exploration, including visits to renowned sites such as Tianya Haijiao, Wuzhizhou Coral Island, and the beaches of Yalong Bay. Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to BigDataSE-2024. Accepted papers will be submitted for possible inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements. The authors of selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in conjunction with the conference.

The conference aims to reflect on the current state of research in the area and on the role that writing and writing systems play in neighboring disciplines like computer science and information technology, communication, typography, psychology, and pedagogy. In particular, it aims to study the effect of the growing importance of Unicode with regard to the future of reading and writing in human societies. Reflecting the richness of perspectives on writing systems, G21C is actively interdisciplinary and welcomes proposals from researchers from the fields of computer science and information technology, linguistics, communication, pedagogy, psychology, history, and the social sciences. G21C aims to create a space for the discussion of the range of approaches to writing systems, and specifically to bridge approaches in linguistics, informatics, and other fields. It provides a forum for explorations in terminology, methodology, and theoretical approaches relating to the delineation of an emerging interdisciplinary area of research that intersects with intense activity in practical implementations of writing systems. The Grapholinguistics in the 21st Century Conference is kindly endorsed by ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics) and by ATypI (Association Typographique Internationale). Previous editions of G21C were held in Brest, France (June 14-15, 2018), online (June 17-19, 2020), and in Palaiseau, France (June 8-10, 2022). *********************** MAIN TOPICS OF INTEREST *********************** We welcome proposals from all disciplines concerned with the study of written language, writing systems, and their implementation in information systems.

Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity). Various technologies are being discussed to support the handling of big data such as massively parallel processing databases, scalable storage systems, cloud/stream computing platforms, and high performance/parallel computing platforms. The 18th IEEE International Conference on Big Data Science and Engineering (BigDataSE-2024) is going to provide a prime international forum for researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Big Data and broadly related areas.

J?nk?ping, Sweden *Call for papers: short papers* https://computationalcreativity.net/iccc24/short-papers/ Please distribute (Apologies for cross-posting) If you wish to receive more information about ICCC'24 subscribe here ------------------------------------------------ Computational Creativity (or CC) is a discipline with its roots in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Engineering, Design, Psychology and Philosophy that explores the potential for computers to be autonomous creators in their own right. Dealing with these topics, ICCC is an annual conference that welcomes papers on different aspects of CC; on systems that exhibit varying degrees of creative autonomy, on systems that act as creative partners for humans, on frameworks that offer greater clarity or computational felicity for thinking about machine (and human) creativity, on methodologies for building or evaluating CC systems, on approaches to teaching CC in schools and universities or to promoting societal uptake of CC as a field and as a technology, and so on. **** **Themes and Topics** **** The ICCC call for short papers invites research on the same topics as the main call. See Full Papers for more information ( https://computationalcreativity.net/iccc24/full-papers/) In summary, new papers reflecting all computational approaches and perspectives on creativity are welcome, including e.g., symbolic approaches, neural and statistical approaches, hybrid approaches, big-data approaches, rule-based approaches, curated approaches, and so on. The onus is on authors to argue and/or explicitly demonstrate the relevance of their work to the topic of computational creativity. *Difference between long and short papers:* Short papers are intended to share new directions and ideas, spark debate, and enrich the conference and program, without the same evaluation and rigor requirements of long papers. They are not merely long papers with fewer pages. To this end, different review criteria will be applied to long and short papers. **** Short Paper Types **** Short papers offer concise treatments of work and ideas that are better suited to this concentrated format. We anticipate submissions in the short paper category along any or all of the following lines: *? Debate Sparks: *The short paper format is ideal for provocations that get the community talking. Is there some aspect of CC that you feel deserves more attention from the community? *? System Demonstrations: *Submissions for the show-and-tell session can be described in a short paper. *? CC Translations: *Researchers in other fields often do work that we in CC would see as related to our own. We invite those researchers to present such work at ICCC, via a Translations short paper. This is submitted as an extended abstract that summarizes your work in another field. *? Nuggets and Gems: *short papers on any topic of CC for which one might consider a long paper. In this case, the work will be succinct enough, or at an early enough stage, to warrant the short paper format. *? Late Breaking Results: *The results of your work (empirical or system-related) may not have been ready for a long-paper submission. Consider submitting that work now in a short-paper format. *? CC Bridges: *Research communities often retreat into silos and fail to reach out beyond their own borders. A bridging short paper explicitly seeks to create bridges to another field, to foster interdisciplinarity. Unlike a Translations paper, a Bridge is written by a CC researcher wishing to introduce new ideas from beyond our conventional horizons. *? Pilot Studies: *Have you conducted an initial foray into a research topic that deserves attention? Plant a flag for your research with a short paper. *? Grand Challenges: *Do you have a proposal for a task that can bring large parts of the community together in a productive collaborative effort? *? Meta-Perspectives: *Do your experience of the CC community (such as our conferences, workshops, reviewing processes, etc.) move you to write an analysis of how we might do things differently and better? *? Field and event reports: *Have you taken your CC research into the field, where practitioners and/or commercial partners have explored its uses first hand? Consider writing a short paper about your experiences. Have you organized a CC-flavored event ? a workshop, a tutorial, a seminar series, a postgraduate course, a public debate, an exhibition of CC outputs, or related outreach activity? Consider writing a short paper on your experience and that of your audience. **** Important Dates **** Deadline: April 28, 2024 Acceptance notification: May 12, 2024 Camera-ready copies due: May 31, 2024 Conference: June 17-21, 2024 All deadlines given are 23:59 anywhere on Earth time. **** Organizing Committe **** Kazjon Grace, University of Sydney, Australia, kazjon.grace at sydney.edu.au Maria M.

September 2-5, 2024 Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Sweden Section *FMEC 2024 CFP:* Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human?s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitate the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). FMEC 2024 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigate Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2024 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC).
