<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">CALL FOR PAPERS</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">6th Workshop on Fault-Tolerance for HPC at eXtreme Scale (FTXS 2016)</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">In conjunction with</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">The 25th International ACM Symposium on</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2016)</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">Kyoto, Japan on May 31 – June 4, 2016</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">Authors are invited to submit original papers on the research and practice of</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">fault-tolerance in extreme scale (HPC) computing. Resilience and</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">fault-tolerance remain a major concern for supercomputing and advances in</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">this area are needed to allow applications to compute accurate (or within</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">error tolerance) answers in a timely and efficient manner in the presence</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">of degradations or failures of platform components (both hardware and software).</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">Topics include, but are not limited to:</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Failure data analysis and field studies</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Power, performance, resilience (PPR) assessments / tradeoffs</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Emerging hardware and software technology for resilience</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Silent data corruption (SDC) detection / correction techniques</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Advances in reliability monitoring, analysis, and control of highly complex systems</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery techniques</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Fault-tolerant programming models</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Models for software and hardware reliability</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Metrics and standards for measuring, improving, and enforcing effective fault-tolerance</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Scalable Byzantine fault-tolerance and security from single-fault and fail-silent violations</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Atmospheric evaluations relevant to HPC systems (terrestrial neutrons, temperature, voltage, etc.)</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Near-threshold-voltage implications and evaluations for reliability</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Benchmarks and experimental environments including fault injection</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Frameworks and APIs for fault-tolerance and fault management</div>

<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">PAPER SUBMISSIONS</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">Submissions are solicited in the following categories:</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Regular papers presenting innovative ideas improving the state of the art or discussing the issues seen on existing extreme-scale systems, including some form of analysis and evaluation.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">* Extended abstracts proposing disruptive ideas in the field, including some form of preliminary results.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and given shorter oral presentations.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">Submissions shall be sent electronically, must conform to ACM conference</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">proceedings style. Regular papers should not exceed eight (8) pages</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">including all text, appendices, and figures. Extended abstract papers</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas, monospace;">should not exceed six (6) pages.</div>
