CFP: 11th Workshop on Scalable Computing (WSC’20); video-event; IEEE #49059; publication IEEE DL; deadline 03.07.2020
June 23rd, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise CALL FOR PAPERS
*************************************************************
11th Workshop on Scalable Computing (WSC'20)
https://www.fedcsis.org/2020/wsc
Organized within the framework of the Federated Conference on Computer
Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2020), Track 2
Sofia, Bulgaria, 6-9 September, 2020

************************* COVID-19 Information *************************
Taking into account lack of certainty that it will be possible to
organize the conference on-site (in Sofia) in September, we have decided
that there is no other way but to organize the conference 100%
telepresence/video-based. This decision makes us very sad, but we
believe that this is the best one we can make. This decision has
consequences. First, the new conference fee has been reduced to 150 euro
(for each contributed and accepted paper). Second, since we do not have
to deal with local arrangements, we can use the extra time and we have
established the new submission deadline. It is now July 3, 2020 for the
regular papers. We are looking forward to e-meet you.

************************************************************************
The world of large-scale computing continuously evolves. The most recent
addition to the mix comes from numerous data streams that materialize
from exploding number of cheap sensors installed
“everywhere”, on the one hand, and ability to capture andstudy events
with systematically increasing granularity, on the other. To address the
needs for scaling computational and storage infrastructures, concepts
like: edge, fog and dew computing emerged.
Novel issues in involved in “pushing computing away from the center” did
not replace open questions that existed in the context of grid and cloud
computing. Rather, they added new dimensions of complexity and resulted
in the need of addressing scalability across more and more complex
ecosystems consisting of individual sensors and micro-computers (e.g.
Raspberry PI based systems) as well as supercomputers available within
the Cloud (e.g. Cray computers facilitated within the MS Azure Cloud).
Addressing research questions that arise in individual “parts” as well
as across the ecosystem viewed from a holistic perspective, with
scalability as the main focus is the goal of the Workshop on Scalable
Computing. In this context, the following topics are of special interest
(however, this list is not exhaustive).
Covered TOPICS include (but are not limited to):
– General issues in scalable computing
– Algorithms and programming models for large-scale applications,
simulations and systems

distributed computations

– Emerging technologies for scalable computing
– Cloud / Fog / Dew computing architectures, models, algorithms and
applications
– High performance computing in Cloud / Fog / Dew
– Green computing in Cloud / Fog / Dew
– Performance, capacity management and monitoring of Cloud / Fog / Dew
configuration

Virtual conference
Call for Submissions
In light of the unknowns associated with the current COVID-19 situation, CVMP will be fully virtual this year! The event will take place on 10–11 December 2020. Proceedings of the Full Papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library, as usual. Please keep checking the CVMP website for updates.
Full Papers:
We invite submissions of regular, technical papers presenting novel research or applications related to any aspect of media production, including computer vision, graphics and machine learning research with application in this area. We particularly encourage the submission of early-stage doctoral work. Submitted papers can be any length up to 10 pages and will be subject to double-blind peer review. Accepted papers will be presented in either oral or poster form, and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. Browse past CVMP papers in the ACM Digital Library here: https://bit.ly/CVMP_ACM_DL
Short Papers and Technical Abstracts:
Submissions are invited in the form of a one-page extended abstract, describing innovative industry practice or academic research. Submissions can also describe work in progress and do not prevent submission of the work elsewhere. Accepted submissions will be presented in poster form at the conference, and will not appear in the ACM Digital Library.
The demos programme promotes applied research and applications to facilitate collaborations between industrial and academic members of the media production community. Demos do not have to be related to full or short papers accepted at CVMP but should have the form of live demonstrations of media production methods and/or their applications. A one-page paper should be submitted describing the content of the demonstration and an overview of the approach.
Full Papers deadline: 17 July 2020
Industry Talks deadline: 18 September 2020

Everingham Prize
June 23rd, 2020 Daniela Lopez de Luise This annual award is given to a researcher, or a team of researchers,
who have made a selfless contribution of significant benefit to other
members of the computer vision community.
The award is given out by the IEEE Pattern Analysis and Machine
Intelligence (PAMI) Technical Committee, and the selection is managed by
the PAMI TC awards committee.
The winner will be announced at the European Conference on Computer
Vision (ECCV) 2020.
ABOUT THE AWARD
The Everingham Prize has been created to commemorate Mark Everingham and
to encourage others to follow in his footsteps by acting to further
progress in the computer vision community as a whole. An appreciation
of Mark Everingham's contributions is at: http://bit.ly/markever.
The Prize consists of a Gift to the Recipient of USD 3,000 which will be
presented during the conference, along with a plaque. The winners will
be listed on the PAMI TC web site and at
https://www.thecvf.com/?page_id=413#Everingham.
Further information about the Everingham Prize may be found at:
https://tc.computer.org/tcpami/mark-everingham-prize/
NOMINATING A CANDIDATE
A nomination for the award should include name(s) and contact detail(s)
of the Candidate individual or team and nominator, a brief description
of the contribution, and should address the following four selection
criteria (quantitatively where possible):
1. The impact of the contribution – in terms of the degree of benefit to
the community and the number of community members benefitting,
2. The time and effort that went into the contribution,
3. The degree to which the Candidate sought to understand and address
the needs of the community – particularly those members whose needs have
previously been overlooked,
4. The lasting nature of the contribution – the length of time over
which the community has actively benefitted, or is expected to benefit
looking ahead.
Note, previous nominations will also be considered for this year, so
there is no need to renominate unless new information is available.
