MODA 2020 : First International Workshop on Monitoring and Operational Data Analytics

Topics of interest

The contributions submitted to MODA will ideally address:

• State-of-the-practice methold, tools, techniques in monitoring at various HPC sites
• Solutions for monitoring and analysis of operational data that work very well on large- to extreme-scale systems with a large number of users
• Solutions that have proven limitations in terms of efficiency of operational data collection in real-time or in terms of the quality of the collected data
• Opportunities and challenges of using machine learning methods for efficient monitoring and analysis of operational data
• Integration of monitoring and analysis practices into production system software (energy and resource management) and runtime systems (scheduling and resource allocation)
• Discuss explicit gaps between operational data collection, processing, effective analysis, highly useful exploitation, and propose new approaches to closing these gaps for the benefit of improving HPC centre planning, operations, and research Other monitoring and operational data analysis challenges and approaches (data storage, visualization, integration into system software, adoption)

Submission and publication

We solicit original contributions in the form of original papers (6-12 pages) which will be peer-reviewed by the program committee members. All accepted papers will be presented during the workshop.

The workshop papers will be published together with the ISC 2020 proceedings, including an abstract of the keynote and invited talks, and a short white paper of the panel session.

High quality contributions may be considered for a full-length submission to a special journal issue in collaboration with ParCo, CPE, or other journals.

Papers should be formatted according to LNCS Springer recommandations.

Papers should be submitted through this online system (https://moda20.sciencesconf.org), by navigating to the top right side of the page and creating an account by clicking on the downward arrow near the Login box.
