Call for Papers: FTS'18: 4th International Workshop on Fault Tolerant Systems
September 10, 2018. Belfast, UK
(https://fts-workshop.github.io/fts18/)

Co-Located with IEEE CLUSTER 2018
(https://cluster2018.github.io/)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES

Full papers due: Jul 10th, 2018
Paper Acceptance Notification: Jul 20th, 2018
Camera-ready deadline: Jul 31st, 2018
Workshop: Sept 10th, 2018

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW

Fault Tolerance is a cross-cutting issue that spans all layers of the hardware
and software stack, and hence, requires coupled improvements in each layer and
co-design between the different layers. FTS aims at providing a venue for
researchers to share experiences across the hardware/software layers
and attendees
to get a holistic view of fault tolerance techniques, especially with a focus on
HPC and parallel computing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORKSHOP SCOPE

We invite the submission of original work that is related to the topics below.
The papers can be either short (4 pages) position papers, or long (8 pages)
research papers.

Topics of interest include (in the context of fault tolerance):
- Techniques for predicting, detecting, and correcting silent data corruption
- Hardware failure prediction and recovery techniques
- Novel hardware design for fault mitigation
- Programming interfaces and libraries to facilitate resilience
- Resilient algorithm design for application level fault tolerance
- Failure modeling and analysis
- Checkpoint/restart model and replication model
- Fault injection techniques for improved tool development
- Hardware and software fault detection and reporting systems
- Fault tolerance for coupled executions, workflows, and in situ data analytics
- Algorithms for performance optimization in the presence of faults
- Techniques and algorithms for rollback recovery

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Camera-ready version of accepted papers must be compliant with the IEEE Xplore
format for publication and must be at most 8 pages including figures and
references. Authors of accepted papers may purchase additional up to 2 pages.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register
and present the paper.

Papers conforming to the above guidelines can be submitted through the
workshop's submission system:

********************************************************************************
The hpc-announce mailing list has been setup to have a common mailing
list to share information with respect to upcoming HPC related
events. You are included in this mailing list based on your
participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event.

The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow
participants to easily identify such emails, and handle them
appropriately. Some options include:

1. If you feel that the number of such emails is too many, filter them
to less-frequently-read folders in your email client.

2. Change your subscription to a digest option
(https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce) which will
consolidate emails sent that week into a single summary email.  If you do not remember your password (which is needed to change these options), you can reset it using the "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" button at the bottom of the page.

3. Finally, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce,
you can unsubscribe from the mailing list
(https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce). Once
unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through
participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will
need to send an email to hpc-announce-owner at mcs.anl.gov to be added
back on.

If you need help with any of the above, please email us at
hpc-announce-owner at mcs.anl.gov.
