********************* 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).

scientific applications in terms of execution time and/or simulation 
accuracy
