*ISAV 2020: In Situ Infrastructures for Enabling Extreme-Scale Analysis 
and Visualization*

*

Held in conjunction with SC20: The International Conference on High 
Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis


        ISAV 2020 --
        https://dav.lbl.gov/events/ISAV2020/<https://vis.lbl.gov/events/ISAV2020/>


Full-day 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM Monday 16 Nov 2020


        Workshop Theme

The considerable interest in the HPC community regarding in situ 
analysis and visualization is  due to several factors. First is an I/O 
cost savings, where data is analyzed/visualized while  being generated, 
without first storing to a file system. Second is the potential for 
increased  accuracy, where fine temporal sampling of transient analysis 
might expose some complex behavior missed in coarse temporal sampling. 
Third is the ability to use all available resources, CPUs and 
accelerators, in the computation of analysis products.


The workshop brings together researchers, developers and practitioners 
from industry, academia, and government laboratories developing, 
applying, and deploying in situ methods in extreme-scale, high 
performance computing. The goal is to present research findings, lessons 
learned, and insights related to developing and applying in situ methods 
and infrastructure across a range of science and engineering 
applications in HPC environments; to discuss topics like opportunities 
presented by new architectures, existing infrastructure needs, 
requirements, and gaps, and experiences to foster and enable in situ 
analysis and visualization; to serve as a “center of gravity” for 
researchers, practitioners, and users/consumers of in situ methods and 
infrastructure in the HPC space.


        Participation/Call for Papers and Oral Presentations

We invite two types of submissions to ISAV 2020: (1) short, 4-page 
(+references) papers that present research results, that identify 
opportunities or challenges, and that present case studies/best 
practices for in situ methods/infrastructure in the areas of data 
management, analysis and visualization; (2) lightning presentation 
submissions, which consist of a 1- or 2-page (+references)  proposed 
presentation description, for a brief oral presentation at the workshop. 
Short papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and will be invited 
to give an oral presentation of 15 to 20 minutes; lightning round 
submissions that are invited to present at the workshop will have author 
names and titles included as part of the proceedings. Submissions of 
both types are welcome that fall within one or more areas of interest, 
as follows:


Areas of interest for ISAV, include, but are not limited to:

In situdata management and infrastructures

	

  *

    Current Systems: production quality, research prototypes

  *

    Opportunities

  *

    Gaps


System resources, hardware, and emerging architectures

	

  *

    Enabling Hardware

  *

    Hardware and architectures that provide opportunities for In situ
    processing, such as burst buffers, staging computations on I/O
    nodes, sharing cores within a node for both simulation and in situ
    processing

Methods and Algorithms

	

  *

    Best practices

  *

    Analysis: feature detection, statistical methods, temporal methods,
    geometric and topologicalmethods

  *

    Visualization: information visualization, scientific visualization,
    time-varying methods

  *

    Data reduction/compression



Case Studies and Data Sources

	

  *

    Examples/case studies of solving a specific science challenge with
    in situ methods/infrastructure.

  *

    In situ methods/systems applied to data from simulations and/or
    experiments/observations


Simulation and Workflows

	

  *

    Integration:data modeling, software-engineering

  *

    Workflows for supporting complex in situ processing pipelines

  *

    Composability and interoperability

  *

    Resilience: error detection, fault recovery;


Requirements, Usability

	

  *

    Reproducibility, provenance and metadata

  *

    Using in situ to enable rapid and flexible post-processing
    exploration and analysis

  *

    Simplified access to extreme heterogeneous resources


        Review Process

All submissions will undergo a peer-review process consisting of three 
reviews by experts in the field, and evaluated according to relevance to 
the workshop theme, technical soundness, creativity, originality, and 
impactfulness of method/results. Lightning round submissions will be 
evaluated primarily for relevance to the workshop.


        Submission Process

Authors are invited to submit papers of at most 4 pages in PDF format, 
excluding references, and lightning presentations of at most 2 pages in 
PDF format, excluding references. Papers must be submitted in PDF format 
(readable by Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 and higher) and formatted for 8.5” 
x 11” (U.S. Letter). Please use the sigconfconfiguration in the new 
combined LaTeX template from ACM available at 
https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions.

We believe that reproducible science is essential and that SC should be 
a leader in this effort. As a consequence ISAV 2020 participates in the 
SC reproducibility initiative and encourages submitters to include an 
appendix with reproducibility information. While we will not disqualify 
a paper based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, 
nor if the appendix is not available, the availability and quality of an 
appendix will receive added consideration when ranking a paper for the 
Best Paper Award. For more information, see theISAV 2020 reproducibility 
FAQ <https://dav.lbl.gov/events/ISAV2020/reproducibility-faq.html>.

Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance 
required for the program committee to evaluate their contributions. 
Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is 
not under consideration for another conference or a journal. See theACM 
Prior Publication Policy <http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/>for 
more details. Please submit your paper 
athttps://submissions.supercomputing.org 
<https://submissions.supercomputing.org/>.


        Publication in proceedings, presentation at the workshop

All paper submissions that receive favorable reviews will be included as 
part of the workshop proceedings, which will be published by the ACM, 
and will appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the International 
Conference Proceedings Series (https://dl.acm.org/icps.cfm). Lightning 
round titles and author names will also be included in the proceedings, 
but the lightning round 2-page submission will not be included as part 
of the proceedings.


Subject to the constraints of workshop length, some subset of the 
accepted publications will be invited to give a brief oral presentation 
at the workshop. The exact number of such presentations and their length 
will be determined after the review process has been completed.


        Coronavirus outbreak impact

The impact of the coronavirus outbreak on attending the SC20 conference  
is uncertain at the moment.  ISAV will take place  according to SC20 
organization directives 
(https://sc20.supercomputing.org/attend/coronavirus-sc/). In all cases 
paper review, selection, ISAV program and  proceedings publication will 
proceed up to completion according to the planned  timeline.
