********************* Statement concerning LLMs *********************

Recognizing developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we
would like to state that, in principle, papers that include text

*********************************************************************

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in agriculture for a
variety of uses, from plant disease detection to weeding automation,
soil status monitoring, crop prediction, irrigation management, and
decreased use of resources for improving quality and productivity. This
workshop welcomes contributions related to a wide variety of
interdisciplinary research and applications related to artificial
intelligence in agriculture. AI can, in fact, provide highly positive
effects on precision agriculture by optimizing, automating and
forecasting several aspects of farming and revolutionizing the sector,
providing helpful information and driving decisions using multiple
sources of data and different sensors.

Moreover, in the climate change era, AI can improve sustainability by
optimizing the use of resources such as water and soil management. We
welcome innovative contributions, early results and position papers
addressing one or more of the topics listed below and intend to foster
informal discussions and bring together researchers, practitioners and
industry experts to explore the challenges and opportunities of AI and
Agriculture. We look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing
you at the workshop!

*********************************************************************

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 and study 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).

+    Algorithms, programming and data models for large-scale
applications, simulations and systems
+    Architectures for large-scale computations (Accelerators – GPUs,
Vector, FPGAs, quantum systems, federated systems, etc.)
+    HPC in Cloud

distributed computations
+    Resilient, fault-tolerant and consensus techniques for large-scale

+    Load-balancing/intelligent resource management in large-scale
applications, simulations and systems
+    Performance analysis, evaluation, and optimisation for large-scale
applications and systems
+    Scientific workflow scheduling
+    Data visualisation and virtualisation supporting large-scale
computations
+    On-demand computing
+    Scaling applications from small-scale to exascale (and back) in
edge-cloud continuum
+    Big data real-time computing/analytics and Big Data cloud services
+    Large-scale batch processing
+    Economic, business, ROI models, and energy efficient computation
for large-scale applications in data centers
+    Disruptive uses of HPC technologies in AI/ML/DL
+    Integration of predictive models to improve the performance of
scientific applications in terms of execution time and/or simulation
accuracy
+    Workflow of applying AI/ML/DL to scientific applications in HPC
infrastructures
