XLOOP Workshop
<br>
At SC 2021 --- November 2021 --- St. Louis, USA
<br>

<br>
Continued advances in computational power and high-speed
networking is
<br>
enabling a new model of scientific experiment,
experiment-in-the-loop
<br>
computing (EILC). In this model, high-end computing systems are
closely
<br>
coupled to experimental and observational infrastructure, and the
two
<br>
interact to drive a deeper understanding of physical phenomena.
At the
<br>
same time, advances and widespread adoption of machine learning
enables
<br>
new ways to register and use experimental data.
<br>
<br>
Several research and development challenges are posed by this
<br>
multifaceted paradigm, many of which are independent of the
particular
<br>
scientific application domain. New algorithms to integrate
simulation
<br>
outputs and experimental data sets must be developed. High
performance
<br>
data management and transfer techniques must be developed to
manage and
<br>
manipulate simulated and observed data sets. Workflows must be
<br>
constructed with high levels of usability and understandability to
<br>
enable scientific post-analysis and improvement of the computing
solution.
<br>
<br>
The Workshop on Experiment-in-the-Loop Computing (XLOOP 2021) will
be a
<br>
unique opportunity to promote this cross-cutting,
interdisciplinary
<br>
topic area. We invite papers, presentations, and participants
from
<br>
the physical and computer sciences, and encourage the sharing of
<br>
ideas from across these domains to find common solutions and
<br>
technologies to make rapid progress in EILC, so that many
application
<br>
areas can easily adopt these methods.
<br>
<br>
As in past years, XLOOP 2021 will pursue proceedings publication
<br>
with IEEE TCHPC.
