Dear VisIt Users,
Please consider submitting in situ related research to ISAV 2020.

Thanks,
Brad

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 situ data 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 topological
methods
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 sigconf configuration in the new combined LaTeX template from ACM
available at https://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions
<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 the ISAV 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 the ACM Prior Publication Policy
<http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/> for more details. Please submit your paper at
https://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
<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/
<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.
