FYI, Abstract of late Argonne Paper. - C. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Pc-ad-workshop] any submissions for AD@ICCS06 close to the wire? Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 09:00:40 -0600 From: Paul Hovland <hovland(a)mcs.anl.gov> To: Christian Bischof <bischof(a)rz.rwth-aachen.de> References: <439E59AD.5000508(a)rz.rwth-aachen.de> <439EDAC9.4040601(a)mcs.anl.gov> <439EE16F.3010600(a)rz.rwth-aachen.de> Sure, here it is. Automatic Differentiation is the process of translating one program that computes a function $f$ and generating a different program that computes the derivative of that function, $f'$. Activity analysis is important for AD. Our results show that a dynamic activity analysis, checking at run-time, incurs an average overhead of 27\% when all independent variable are active. When as few as half of the independent variables are active, dynamic activity analysis enables an average speedup of 28\%. We investigate static activity analysis combined with dynamic activity analysis as a technique for reducing the overhead of dynamic activity analysis. Jean's familiar with this project, so he can be a good arbiter of who would be appropriate referees.

Schedule
by Forth Dr Shaun 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Chris, Jean, Uwe According to http://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2006/important-dates.html we are aiming for the following targets. Notification of acceptance of papers January 31, 2006 Camera ready papers February 10, 2006 Early registration March 30, 2006 Note that there is only a very small (week and a half) gap between acceptance and final paper submission. This would make it difficult for an author to make little other than trivial changes in response to referee's remarks unless given in advance of that date. Can I suggest the following schedule: 1) We get papers to referees this week, say the 16th Dec. Each paper will be assigned to one of us, as Assigned Organiser, and 2 others. The Assigned Organiser is responsible for chasing referee's reports. 2) Referees should complete a report recommending one of: strong acceptance, weak acceptance, weak rejection or strong rejection; together with any required or recommended corrections to achieve weak or strong acceptance state by Thur 19th January 2006. This gives us a little time to chase late referees and, if we can feedback to authors quickly, hopefully time for authors to improve their papers. 3) By Jan 31st we can formally accept, or accept subject to corrections to be approved by the assigned organiser, each paper. 4) Camera ready submitted on Feb 10th. I'm seeking clarification on number of reviewers required from the conference.

Brainstorming ICCS06
by Martin Buecker 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

At ICCS 2006, there's another interesting workshop called Advances in Parameter Estimation in Computational - Science http://www.lanl.gov/orgs/ees/iccs/ Perhaps, we could try to establish a connection between this workshop and the AD workshop. Don't know exactly what could be done ... Martin -- Martin Buecker buecker(a)sc.rwth-aachen.de Institute for Scientific Computing phone: +49 241 8024919 RWTH Aachen University fax: +49 241 8022241

Folks, I had org-ad-workshop@lists.... as a mail address in the listing for the program committee, but as I was asked to approve a message for pc-ad-workshop@lists just a minute ago, I am not sure that mailman can handle the forward in the fashion intended and I ahve explicitly subscribed you to the pc-ad-workshop@lists mailing list and you should have gotten a message to that effect. - Chris -- Prof. Christian Bischof, Ph.D. Institute for Scientific Computing and Center for Computing and Communications RWTH Aachen University Seffenter Weg 23, 52074 Aachen, Germany Tel. +49-241-8029110, Fax +49-241-8022241 bischof(a)rz.rwth-aachen.de <mailto:bischof@rz.rwth-aachen.de>, www.sc.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.sc.rwth-aachen.de/>, www.rz.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.rz.rwth-aachen.de/>

[Pc-ad-workshop] any submissions for AD@ICCS06 close to the wire?
by Christian Bischof 13 Dec '05

13 Dec '05

Dear Program Committee Members, at the present time (6am European time, midnight Eastern Time in the US) we have 12 submissions to the AD workshop. There is consensus among the members of the organizing committee that we do not want to be dogmatic about the deadline, but in light of the tight schedule for review we cannot afford more than a one or at most a two-day extension. As many of you are aware of paper writing activities geared toward the AD workshop at ICCS06, I would ask you to let me know whether there are papers "close to the wire" that you are aware of that would mature into a paper fit for submission in the period indicated. I will have a telephone conf. with Uwe, Jean and Shaun later today and it would be helpful for us if we had a complete picture of the paper lineup.
