<b>Submission Deadline: February 26th, 2023 (FINAL)</b><br>
Notification Due: March 12th, 2023<br>
Workshop date: May 19th, 2023 <br>
<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>
JSSPP welcomes both regular papers as well as descriptions of Open
Scheduling Problems (OSP) in large scale scheduling (see below). <br>
<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Call for Regular Papers<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>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Call for Open Scheduling Problems (OSP)<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>

Submission<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Papers should be no longer than 20 single-spaced pages, 10pt font,
including figures and references. All submissions must follow the
LNCS format, see the instructions at Springer's web site:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.springer.com/lncs">http://www.springer.com/lncs</a><br>
<br>
All papers in scope will be reviewed by at least three members of
the program committee (see the list of organizers/PC members here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://jsspp.org/index.php?page=committees">http://jsspp.org/index.php?page=committees</a>).<br>
<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Proceedings<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
Interim proceedings containing a collection of the papers
presented will be distributed at the workshop in electronic form.
It is planned to also publish a post-workshop proceedings in the
Springer "Lecture Notes on Computer Science" series, as was done
in previous years (pending approval from Springer).<br>
