Call for papers

The 1st Workshop on Advancements of Global Challenges Applications (AGCA) was held in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics PPAM 2024 in Ostrava, Czech Republic, September 8 – 11, 2024.

Global Challenges (GC) address problems that require interdisciplinary expertise, and demand solutions at scale due to their inherent complexity. GC aims to explore synergies between modelling, data acquisition, simulation, data analysis and visualisation along with achieving better scalability on current and future HPC and AI infrastructures, to deliver highly-scalable solutions that can effectively use pre-exascale systems.

The AGCA workshop was intended to be a forum for the discussion of ideas for the development of high-scale simulation applications tackling GC demands, with particular emphasis on their scalability, efficiency and co-design.

Suggested topics

Topics included (but were not limited to):

  • Algorithms and methods for the efficient solution of large-scale simulation applications
  • Global Systems Science applications with particular emphasis on CFD and Agent-Based Modelling implementations
  • New and improved frameworks for Global Systems Science
  • Efficient data distribution and scheduling for parallel/distributed applications in Global Systems Science
  • Exploration of co-design for HPC applications
  • Exploring emerging architectures for Global Systems Science applications
  • HPC and HPDA platforms for efficient data processing
  • Global Systems Science performance evaluation methodologies
  • Performance optimisations and energy efficiency for Global Systems Science applications
  • Data analytics and AI solutions advancing Global Challenges problems
  • Efficient data storage and transfer for HPC and HPDA systems
  • Workflows for complex Global Challenges scenarios
  • Powerful and immersive tools for visualising massive datasets of simulation results

Paper submission and publication

The rules of the PPAM conference applied. Papers were refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit, relevance to the workshop topics, originality, correctness and quality of presentation. Papers could not be previously published or submitted elsewhere. Papers were limited to 14 pages (LNCS style).

Submissions were made via the PPAM conference submission system (EasyChair, AGCA track), formatted to PPAM specifications, and prepared for double-blind review.

Journal special issue

The authors of the best articles selected by the programme committee and the guest editors were invited to submit extended versions of their work to special issues of journals with Impact Factor such as Future Generation Computer Systems, International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications, and Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience.
