<span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">2nd Annual Workshop on Extreme-scale Experiment-in-the-Loop Computing @ SC</span><span><br>
</span>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Monday AM, Nov. 16, 2020, Atlanta, Georgia, USA</span><br>
</div>

</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Workshop website: https://wordpress.cels.anl.gov/xloop-2020</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Continued advances in computational power and high-speed networking is
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">enabling a new model of scientific experiment, experiment-in-the-loop
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">computing (EILC). In this model, high-end computing systems are closely
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">coupled to experimental and observational infrastructure, and the two
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">interact to drive a deeper understanding of physical phenomena. At the
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">same time, advances and widespread adoption of machine learning enables
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">new ways to register and use experimental data.</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">Several research and development challenges are posed by this
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">multifaceted paradigm, many of which are independent of the particular
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">scientific application domain. New algorithms to integrate simulation
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">outputs and experimental data sets must be developed. High performance
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">data management and transfer techniques must be developed to manage and
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">manipulate simulated and observed data sets. Workflows must be
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">constructed with high levels of usability and understandability to
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">enable scientific post-analysis and improvement of the computing solution.</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">The Workshop on Experiment-in-the-Loop Computing (XLOOP 2020) will be a
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">unique opportunity to promote this cross-cutting, interdisciplinary
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">topic area. We invite papers, presentations, and participants from
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">the physical and computer sciences, and encourage the sharing of
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">ideas from across these domains to find common solutions and
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">technologies to make rapid progress in EILC, so that many application
</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">areas can easily adopt these methods.</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">XLOOP is held in conjunction with SC20: The International Conference</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Courier New", monospace;">on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis.</span><br>
