by Sill, Alan 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

[Apologies if you received multiple copies of this email!] Final Extension deadline (18-December) - seize the opportunity to submit your contributions!! The deadline has been extended to Monday, December 18, 2023, in response to extension requests. Authors will be notified of the results in early January 2024. CALL FOR ABSTRACT International Symposium on Grids and Clouds (ISGC) 2024 25-29 March 2024, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan • On-line Submission: <https://indico4.twgrid.org/event/33/abstracts/> https://indico4.twgrid.org/event/33/abstracts/<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Findico4.t…> • Submission Deadline: Monday, 18 December 2023 • Abstract Word Limit: 400 (minimum)～600 (maximum) words • Acceptance Notification to Authors: Early January 2024 TOPICS OF INTEREST: (1) Physics and Engineering Applications Submissions should report on research for physics and engineering applications exploiting grid, cloud, or HPC services, applications that are planned or under development, or application tools and methodologies. Topics of interest include: (1) Data analysis and application including the use of ML/DL and quantum calculation algorithms; (2) Management of distributed data; (3) Performance analysis and system tuning; (4) Workload scheduling; (5) Management of an experimental collaboration as a virtual organization, in particular learning from the COVID-19 pandemic; (6) Expectations for the evolution of computing models drawn from recent experience handling extremely large and geographically diverse datasets, and (7) Expectations for the evolution of computing operations etc., towards the carbon neutral. (2) Health & Life Sciences (including Pandemic Preparedness Applications) During the last decade, research in Biomedicine and Life Sciences has dramatically changed thanks to the continuous developments in High Performance Computing and highly Distributed Computing. The recent pandemic caused by Sars-CoV2 has clearly demonstrated the critical role of e-Infrastructures such high performance, high throughput and clouds infrastructure, but also of big-data and machine learning solutions to support the worldwide efforts to fight this pandemic. This track aims at discussing problems, solutions and application examples in the fields of health and life sciences, with a particular focus on non-technical end users. We invite in particular submissions concentrating on applications of pandemic response and preparedness in the areas of e.g. Drug discovery, Vaccine design, Structural biology, Bioinformatics, Medical imaging, Epidemiological studies and other Public health applications. Submissions should ideally highlight how different e-Science / e-Infrastructure solutions are being applied to fight / prepare for pandemics. (3) Earth & Environmental Sciences & Biodiversity Applications Earth system and environmental sciences go far beyond investigating physical sub-systems of our planet: increasingly, we develop an understanding of the Earth as a single, highly complex, coupled physical system with living and dead organisms. For this purpose, information technology is widely used, for tasks from data taking and analysis to modelling of large parts of the earth system. Climate change has made research in this field mandatory, and supercomputing are getting involved in addressing the mitigation of natural hazards - in particular in Asia. This centre rack as a part of ISGC 2024 not only invites contributions from the classical simulation or data analysis sectors: it encourages presentations on works that involve artificial intelligence (AI). Thus, we reflect that earth system and environmental sciences have been considerably enriched by AI techniques, in fields from weather-model downscaling over anomaly detection in measurements to surrogate models in digital twins of the earth system. Projects that emphasize open science, open/FAIR data, and effective communication with stakeholders are particularly encouraged to submit their work. (4) Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities (SSAH) Applications Disciplines across the Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities (SSAH) have critically engaged with technological innovations such as grid- and cloud computing, and, most recently, various data analytic technologies. The increasing availability of data, ranging from social media text data to consumer big data has led to an increasing interest in analysis methods such as natural language processing, multilingualism and (semi-)automatic AI-powered translations, social network analysis, usage data analysis, machine learning and text mining, and data sharing. These developments pose challenges as well as opening up a world of opportunities. Members of the SSAH community have been at the forefront of discussions about the impact that novel forms of data, novel computational infrastructures and novel analytical methods have for the pursuit of science endeavours and our understanding of what science is and can be. The ISGC 2024 SSAH track invites papers and presentations covering applications demonstrating the opportunities of new technologies or critically engaging with their methodological implications in the Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities. Innovative application of analytical tools or international data space for survey and usage data, social media data, and government (open) data are welcomed. We also invite contributions that critically reflect on the following subjects: (1) the impact that ubiquitous and mobile access to information and communication technologies have for society more generally, especially around topics such as smart cities, civic engagement, and digital journalism; (2) philosophical and methodological reflections on the development of the techniques and the approaches by which data scientists use to pursue knowledge. (5) Virtual Research Environment (including tools, services, workflows, portals, … etc.) Virtual Research Environments (VRE) provide an intuitive, easy-to-use and secure access to (federated) computing resources for solving scientific problems, trying to hide the complexity of the underlying infrastructure, the heterogeneity of the resources, and the interconnecting middleware. Behind the scenes, VREs comprise tools, middleware and portal technologies, workflow automation as well a security solutions for layered and multifaceted applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: (1) Real-world experiences building and/or using VREs to gain new scientific knowledge; (2) Middleware technologies, tools, services beyond the state-of-the-art for VREs; (3) Science gateways as specific VRE environments, (4) Innovative technologies to enable VREs on arbitrary devices, including Internet-of-Things; and (5) One-step-ahead workflow integration and automation in VREs. (6) Data Management & Big Data The rapid growth of the data available to scientists and scholars – in terms of Velocity and Variety as well as sheer Volume – is transforming research across disciplines. Increasingly these data sets are generated not just through experiments, but as a byproduct of our day-to-day digital lives. This track explores the consequences of this growth, and encourages submissions relating to two aspects in particular - firstly, the conceptual models and analytical techniques required to process data at scale; secondly, approaches and tools for managing and creating these digital assets throughout their lifecycle. Additionally, a significant additional dimension is the automated generation and provisioning of metadata, either from simulated data such as Digital Twins or from experiments that produce vast amounts of data beyond manual annotation capacity. The automation of metadata creation and their availability in searchable catalogues is crucial for aligning with the FAIR Data Principles, ensuring data is findable and reusable. This process is also pivotal in making data usable for machine-driven applications, notably in AI training scenarios." (7) Network, Security, Infrastructure & Operations Networking and the connected e-Infrastructures are becoming ubiquitous. Ensuring the smooth operation and integrity of the services for research communities in a rapidly changing environment are key challenges. This track focuses on the current state of the art and recent advances in these areas: networking, infrastructure, operations, and security. The scope of this track includes advances in high-performance networking (software defined networks, community private networks, the IPv4 to IPv6 transition, cross-domain provisioning), the connected data and compute infrastructures (storage and compute systems architectures, improving service and site reliability, interoperability between infrastructures, data centre models), monitoring tools and metrics, service management (ITIL and SLAs), and infrastructure/systems operations and management. Also included here are issues related to the integrity, reliability, and security of services and data: developments in security middleware, operational security, security policy, federated identity management, community management, and lessons learned from operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Submissions should address solutions in at least one of these areas. (8) Infrastructure Clouds and Virtualizations This track will focus on the development of cloud infrastructures and on the use of cloud computing and virtualization technologies in large-scale (distributed) computing environments in science and technology. We solicit papers describing underlying virtualization and "cloud" technology including integration of accelerators and support for specific needs of AI/ML and DNN, scientific applications and case studies related to using such technology in large scale infrastructure as well as solutions overcoming challenges and leveraging opportunities in this setting. Of particular interest are results exploring the usability of virtualization and infrastructure clouds from the perspective of machine learning and other scientific applications, the performance, reliability and fault-tolerance of solutions used, and data management issues. Papers dealing with the cost, price, and cloud markets, with security and privacy, as well as portability and standards, are also most welcome. (9) Converging High Performance Computing Infrastructures: Supercomputers, clouds, accelerators The classical simulation-oriented computing is nowadays complemented by the machined deep learning approaches. This requires novel approaches to build and integrate high performance computing infrastructures, combining supercomputers, clouds, and specialized accelerator and artificial intelligence hardware. The integration of these different systems, often provided by different owners and different location, requires new ideas for distribution and federation. This track solicits recent research and development achievements and best practices in building and exploiting these converging high performance infrastructures or their components. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the followings: (1) Building and use of modern high performance computing systems, including special support for AI and DNN in particular; (2) Experiences, use cases and best practices on the development and operation of large-scale heterogeneous applications; (3) Integration and interoperability to support coordinated federated use of different e-infrastructures (supercomputers, accelerated clouds, …) and their building blocks; (4) Use of virtualization techniques and containers to support access to and portability across different heterogeneous systems; (5) Performance of different applications on these integrated high performance infrastructures. (10) Artificial Intelligence (AI) During the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and statistical learning techniques have started to become pervasive in scientific applications, exploring the adoption of novel algorithms, modifying the design principles of application workflows, and impacting the way in which grid and cloud computing services are used by a diverse set of scientific communities. This track aims at discussing problems, solutions and application examples related to this area of research, ranging from R&D activities to production-ready solutions. Topics of interests in this track include: AI-enabled scientific workflows; novel approaches in scientific applications adopting machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques; cloud-integrated statistical learning as-a-service solutions; anomaly detection techniques; predictive and prescriptive maintenance; experience with MLOps practices; AI-enabled adaptive simulations; experience on ML/DL models training and inference on different hardware resources for scientific applications. NOTES： The ISGC Program Committee and track conveners will review all submitted abstracts. Authors will receive notification of acceptance at the early January 2024. For any further questions, please contact the Secretariat.

Re: [wg-all] 25 Years of Grid Computing Celebration - Final Details, Uber voucher info, etc.
by Sill, Alan 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Photos from the celebration of "25 Years of Grid Computing" are now online: https://ogf.org/ogf/25-years-of-grids-photos.html It was an amazing event, full of warmth, greetings, memories, and good cheer. Charlie gave a speech, and there was a group photo of many of those there, though a few left before we thought to have a phot and are only included in the earlier candid pictured. If anyone has photos they want to add, please let us know and we'll add them to the online set. Here's wishing the best to the many projects that will observe their own 25 year celebrations over the upcoming few years that perhaps can trace their start to the SC'98 "Grid BoF" and to the events, workshops, and meetings that preceded and followed it. It seemed appropriate to us to mark this milestone even so as a significant one in the sequence of events that led to widespread distributed computing being so much of a contribution to our lives and to scientific, academic, social, and business computing since then. Thanks to all who attended, and warm wishes to those (like our own original attendee Ian Foster, who was otherwise engaged) who had to miss the event in person. Best wishes to all in your current endeavors, and check out what OGF can do for you to help -- and watch for future announcements to us as hinted on the main page and the one linked above!

by Sill, Alan 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

Dear OGF colleagues, For those attending SuperComputing 2023 in Denver, the Open Grid Forum will be sponsoring a "25 Years of Grids" celebration at the Beowulf Bash at 9 pm - midnight Monday, November 13 to mark a quarter of a century since the SC'98 Grid BoF that resulted in a major turning point in development of grid computing. OGF will have its own room to facilitate finding each other and having discussions, with free mobility between this and the other rooms of the Beowulf Bash. This event has been arranged with the cooperation of many who were involved in the SC'98 BoF, many of whom will be there, and is the first of what we expect will be a long series of 25 year anniversaries of major projects that sprang up from the ideas discussed there, including 25 years of the Grid Forum in June 2024, and the quarter-century anniversaries of many related projects. We'll be happy to update anyone who attends on some projects OGF has in progress, including the revitalization of OGF document production based on our GitHub organizational pages, new methods of document authoring that support online editing, and liaison relationships with other standards developing organizations that have produced a viable path towards republication and reuse of OGF standards for wider reach and longer lifetime. Ideas for new working groups as per the guidelines in GFD.3 and GFD.152 using these new tools are also being accepted. Admission will be free with an SC'23 badge and the location is a 20 minute walk or short ride-share ride away. See https://beowufbash.com for details, and hope to see you there! Please pass this on to anyone who you think would be interested in attending. Take care until then!

GridForge restoration complete; new features of OGF community and group spaces
by Sill, Alan 03 Dec '22

03 Dec '22

(Correcting an unfortunate typo.) Dear OGF working group, research group, and community group members, As part of our project to make all of the older historical records of OGF and its predecessor Grid Forum and Global Grid Forum organizations available as permanent archives, the GridForge archived content restoration is now complete and available at https://forge.ogf.org. This supplements the previous archives of the Redmine<https://redmine.ogf.org/> and Dokuwiki<https://dokuwiki.ogf.org/> sites as we work to update the OGF main web site<https://ogf.org/>, also recently moved from dedicated hosting at Indiana University to GitHub. This completes the transition to make all previous documents and work archives produced by OGF and its predecessor organizations available. As a reminder, all current and future development for the Open Grid Forum has now moved to its organizational pages at https://github.com/opengridforum. Any group that wants to have pages set up there with access to repositories, wiki features, the internal GitHub discussion mechanisms, or that needs to have its current existing email lists being served at https://lists.ogf.org<https://lists.ogf.org/> reset, serviced, or updated can contact the OGF Editor<mailto:editor@ogf.org> or use the Discussions<https://github.com/OpenGridForum/general-info/discussions> feature on the OGF general-info repository. We would like to make the new spaces as useful as possible to groups that would like to continue their community work using OGF resources. We do have other future announcements to make soon regarding how to extend the value, impact, and adoption of standards produced over the years by OGF groups. To promote informal interactions, we have also decided recently to co-sponsor the interesting work of the hpc.social community<https://hpc.social/> including its Mastodon instance<https://mast.hpc.social/>, community syndicated blogs<https://hpc.social/projects/blog/>, community map<https://hpc.social/projects/map/>, podcasts<https://hpc.social/projects/podcasts/>, surveys<https://hpc.social/projects/surveys/>, and other features of use to the community of people interested in high performance computing and related fields to improve our social reach. Other ideas are possible, and we encourage you to use the Discussions feature<https://github.com/hpc-social/hpc-social.github.io/discussions> there as well if you are interested in contributing to these community efforts.
