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

Recognizing developing issue that affects all academic disciplines, we 
would like to state that, in principle, papers that include text 
generated from a large-scale language model (LLM) are prohibited, unless 
the produced text is used within the experimental part of the work.

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

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).
Topics

Covered topics include (but are not limited to):

+    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
+    Large-scale computing with serverless and microservices
+    Large-scale symbolic, numeric, data-intensive, graph-oriented, 
distributed computations
+    Resilient, fault-tolerant and consensus techniques for large-scale 
computing
+    Large-scale distributed databases and repositories
+    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
+    HPC with AI/ML/DL and AI/ML/DL for HPC
+    HPC tools and infrastructure to improve the usability of AI/ML/DL 
to scientific applications
+    Optimised HPC systems design and setup for efficient AI/ML/DL
