<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
The JSSPP workshop addresses all scheduling aspects of parallel
computing, including cloud, grid, HPC & HTC, as well as
"mixed/hybrid" or otherwise specific systems.<br>
<br>
For the last 30 years, such parallel systems have grown in
capacity and complexity, creating the need for new scheduling
systems to govern them. JSSPP focuses both on such problems for
traditional parallel cluster/HPC/HTC systems as well as more
recent cloud-based systems.<br>
<br>
Nowadays, parallel computing supports extremely heterogeneous
workloads in very dynamic and connected environments. Many
workloads are interactive and make use of variable resources over
time. Complex parallel infrastructures can now be built on the
fly, sourcing compute capacity from different providers
simultaneously, while each offers different prices and quality of
services. Capacity planning has become more proactive, where
resources are acquired continuously, with the goal of staying
ahead of demand. The interaction model between job and resource
manager is shifting to one of negotiation, where they agree on
resources, price, and quality of service. Also, "hybrid" systems
are often used, where the (virtualized) infrastructure is hosting
a mix of competing workloads/applications, each having its own
resource manager that must be somehow co-scheduled. These are just
a few examples of the open issues facing our field.<br>
<br>
From its very beginning, JSSPP has strived to balance practice and
theory in its program. This combination provides a rich
environment for technical debate about scheduling approaches
including both academic researchers as well as participants from
industry. <br>
<br>
Building on this tradition, JSSPP welcomes both regular papers as
well as descriptions of Open Scheduling Problems (OSP) in large
scale scheduling (see below). Lack of real-world data often
substantially hampers the ability of the research community to
engage with scheduling problems in a way that has real world
impact. Our goal in the OSP venue is to build a bridge between the
production and research worlds, in order to facilitate direct
collaborations and impact.<br>
<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<b>Call for Regular Papers</b><br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
JSSPP solicits papers that address any of the challenges in
parallel scheduling, including but not limited to:<br>
<br>
* Design and evaluation of new scheduling approaches.<br>
* Performance evaluation of scheduling approaches, including
methodology, benchmarks, and metrics.<br>
* Workloads, including characterization, classification, and
modeling.<br>
* Consideration of additional constraints in scheduling systems,
like job priorities, price, accounting, load estimation, and
quality of service guarantees.<br>
* Impact of scheduling strategies on system utilization,
application performance, user friendliness, cost efficiency, and
energy efficiency.<br>
* Scaling and composition of very large scheduling systems.<br>
* Cloud provider issues: capacity planning, service level
assurance, reliability.<br>
* Interaction between schedulers on different levels, like
processor level as well as whole single- or even multi-owner
systems<br>
* Interaction between applications/workloads, e.g., efficient
batch job and container/VM co-scheduling within a single system,
etc.<br>
* Experience reports from production systems or large scale
compute campaigns.<br>
<br>

<b>Call for Open Scheduling Problems (OSP)</b><br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
JSSPP welcomes descriptions of open problems in large-scale
scheduling. We believe that clearly described real-world
scheduling problems will help both the production and the
scientific community to bridge the gap that often prevents
adoption of newly proposed scheduling techniques in practice. <br>
<br>
Effective scheduling approaches are predicated on three things:<br>
<br>
* A concise understanding of scheduling goals, and how they
relate to one another.<br>
* Details of the workload (job arrival times, sizes,
shareability, deadlines, etc.)<br>
* Details of the system being managed (size, break/fix
lifecycle, allocation constraints)<br>
<br>
Submissions must include concise description of the key metrics of
the system and how they are calculated, as well as anonymized data
publication of the system workload and production schedule.
Detailed descriptions of operational considerations (maintenance,
failure patterns, fault domains) are also important. Ideally,
anonymized operational logs would also be published, though we
understand this might be more difficult.<br>
<br>
We envision that these papers will provide sufficiently detailed
information to be able to develop new scheduling approaches, which
can be robustly compared with the schedules used in production
facilities, and other approaches to solve the same problems.<br>
<br>
Paper formatting requirements for OSP-related submissions are the
same as for regular papers and are available in the Submission
section (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://jsspp.org/index.php?page=submission">https://jsspp.org/index.php?page=submission</a>).<br>

Venue and virtual venue<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
JSSPP 2023 is being planned for May 19 in in St. Petersburg,
Florida USA. However, remote paper presentation and attendance
will be likely allowed to accommodate various constraints and
restrictions caused by the pandemic. In virtual format, we will
use videoconferencing and upload workshop-ready versions of papers
at the workshop website beforehand. After the workshop the
recording of the talks and the slides of all presentations will be
shared on the JSSPP website and JSSPP youtube channel
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC93tGBsMmjjEitQSQyL7eTw/playlists">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC93tGBsMmjjEitQSQyL7eTw/playlists</a>).
The virtual format was very successful in JSSPP 2020, 2021 and
JSSPP 2022, with great participant attendance and engagement with
the presenters.<br>
