| Title: Affordable and sustainable data- and compute-intensive radio astronomy |
| By Roelien Attema-Van Waas and Chris Broekema, ASTRON |
| Abstract:
Radio astronomy is a relatively new area of science that relies
heavily on the abundant availability of data- and
compute-capacity. One could even argue that the advent of affordable
compute power, in the form of general purpose mini-computers in the
1970s, made the construction of aperture synthesis arrays like the one
in Westerbork possible. More recently, in the early 2000s, ASTRON
designed and built the LOFAR telescope to take advantage of the steady
increase of available compute power. This is one of the very first
'software telescopes', where a massive amount of complexity is
offloaded from the hardware into the software (with all the
appropriate growing pains we are only now starting to really
understand).
This predictable and inevitable increase in compute capability can no longer be relied upon. Worse, we are now faced with instruments that can produce far more data than we can affordably process. For future telescopes, like the Square Kilometre Array and even more ambitious later telescopes we could easily be overwhelmed by the virtual deluge of data being foisted on the scientist. I this talk we will briefly introduce radioastronomy and the specific R&D challenges and we will go into some detail on the anatomy of a modern large-scale distributed radio telescope, what processing needs to be done with the collected data, and how we are preparing to process the fire-hose of data to be collected by modern instruments. New and emerging technologies play a central role in this strategy. |
| Short bio Roelien Attema – Head of R&D at ASTRON:
Inspired by leading-edge innovation and creating impact in society
with new insights and technology she is working the field of applied
science for 25 years. Starting at KPN Research, she worked at TNO for
almost 20 years in different roles from expert, account manager,
project manager to business consultant. Her interest in organisations
and people led her to roles in innovation management. She is part of
the ASTRON MT and as Head of the R&D department - a group of around 65
professionals covering the full signal processing chain - responsible
for all technological innovation within ASTRON. As member of the Board
of the Innovation Cluster Drachten she is committed to strengthen the
collaboration between industry and academic partners in the North of
the Netherlands.
Short bio Chris Broekema:
Chris Broekema is a senior research staff member at the Netherlands
Institute for Radio Astronomy since 2003. Over the years he has
focused most of his work on compute- and data transport hardware
design for radio astronomy. He has designed, built, procured, operated
and worked on high-performance computing systems for the LOFAR
telescope in the Netherlands, including some of the fastest
supercomputers in the world at the time, since 2004. More recently his
focus shifted to the computational and data-transport challenges in
the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), where he was responsible for the
hardware platform design of the SKA Science Data Processor (SDP).

| Title: Interactive and Connected Battery-Free Systems |
| By Przemysław Pawełczak, Associate Professor Embedded Systems Group, TU Delft |
| Abstract: In this talk, I will present some advancements in designing interactive and wirelessly connected ultra-low power, battery-free systems. I will discuss how low-density energy buffers (such as capacitors) and energy harvesting sources - both forming a sustainable alternative to batteries - require a rethink of communication, computation, and interaction paradigms. We will explore these new design paradigms by examining case studies in handheld gaming, electronic prototyping, and low-power wireless networking. |
| Short bio: Przemysław Pawełczak is an associate professor within the Embedded and Networked Systems Group of TU Delft leading Sustainable Systems Lab. His research vision is to make Internet of Things free from batteries, less polluting and sustainable. With his students Przemysław Pawełczak performs research that is experiment- and systems-oriented (where system is a creation of new hardware and software). |
| Tuesday 28 May, 14:00 |
| Title: Sustainable Deep Learning: A Systems Perspective |
| Joint Keynote with NCCV, by Professor Lin Wang, Paderborn University |
| Abstract: Deep learning (DL) has undeniably revolutionized many fields, but its rapid expansion has put a significant strain on our computing infrastructure. As we celebrate breakthroughs in areas such as computer vision with unprecedentedly large DL models, we must face a stark reality: Our current trajectory is not sustainable. In this talk, I will discuss some of the systems challenges in serving large DL models. In doing so, I will emphasize the critical need for collaboration between deep learning and systems researchers in order to forge a sustainable path forward. |
| Short bio: Lin Wang is currently a full professor and head of the Computer Networks group at Paderborn University. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2015. Before joining Paderborn University, he was a tenured Assistant Professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and held positions at TU Darmstadt, SnT Luxembourg, and IMDEA Networks Institute. His research focuses on networked systems at the edge and in the cloud, with the goal of achieving efficiency and sustainability. His work has received several awards, including a Google Research Scholar Award, an Outstanding Paper Award from RTSS 2022, Best Paper Awards from IPCCC 2023 and HotPNS 2016, and an Athene Young Investigator Award from TU Darmstadt. |

1.5 - Location
Registration:
Location:
The location for the 2024 edition of CompSys is the Ruwenberg Hotel in the Den Bosch region, the Netherlands.
| The Ruwenberg Hotel |
| Ruwenbergstraat 7 |
| 5271 AG Sint-Michielsgestel |
| The Netherlands |
The hotel is situated in a 14th-century country estate in Sint-Michielsgestel with a long history. The history of castle ‘De Ruwenberg’ goes back to the 14th century and offers peaceful accommodation for those people searching for knowledge since many ages. The exact date of its construction is unknown, but on the clock tower the year 1357 is indicated as a date of origin. In 1884 the castle belonged to the friars of Tilburg and in that year the tower was threatened with destruction due to a heavy storm. Thanks to the good craftsmanship the roof timbers of a church, tower or castle were inscribed with the monogram and matching year. The following dates could be found during the repair: built in 1357 and acquired in 1851.
Please note that your overnight stays in this hotel are included in the registration fee.
1.6 - Submission details
Submission Guidelines
All contributions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted contributions will appear in the final program either as a short talk or a full presentation, depending on the reviews. All presentations will be made available in digital format, unless otherwise instructed by the authors. For submission, the PDF format is mandatory.
To foster the broadest possible engagement and exchanging of ideas, CompSys 2024 does not claim copyright, making it possible for authors of accepted contributions to present work that has already been published or is in the process of being published elsewhere.
Important dates
| Description | Date |
|---|---|
| Abstract registration (not mandatory, but it helps us organize) | 2 April 2024 |
| Paper submission deadline | EXTENDED: 12 April 2024, 23:59 Dutch time |
| Author notification | 1 May 2024 |
| Registration deadline | 16 May 2024 |
| In-person conference | 27-29 May 2024 |
Submission types
CompSys 2024 welcomes three types of contributions: research papers, work-in-progress papers/early ideas, and negative/failed research results.
Long papers
Research papers on your best research results from the past year(s). This includes papers already submitted to and/or accepted at (inter)national conferences or workshops (please indicate the original venue in the submission form). Long papers (not exceeding 12 pages in double-column or 15 pages in LNCS format) can be submitted using any of the commonly used templates (e.g., ACM, IEEE, LNCS).
Short papers: Work-in-progress and early ideas
Since CompSys is a forum that encourages discussions about early and exciting ideas, we specifically welcome extended abstracts highlighting early ideas and work-in-progress papers. Such submissions are especially suitable for graduate and undergraduate students working towards finalizing their thesis or PhD students who have recently started or would like to share one of their preliminary results with the community. In particular, we encourage contributions in the form of short talks to share an early and not yet explored idea with the community to stimulate discussions and collect feedback. These talks might be particularly interesting for early-stage researchers. Submissions of early ideas or work-in-progress papers require a short paper of at most 2 pages (not including references) in IEEE double-column format or 4 pages (not including references) in LNCS single-column format. The paper should mention the research question being addressed, outline the novelty and/or originality of the idea, approach, or (initial) results, and contain a summary of preliminary results.
Negative research results
Like last year, we also solicit contributions sharing negative results, wrong methodologies, and/or invalidated hypothesis to share the lessons learned in the community and also once again remind to ourselves that a regular part of performing research is also about trying many ideas that may not lead to expected results. Submissions of negative research results papers require a short paper of at most 2 pages (not including references) in IEEE double-column format or 4 pages (not including references) in LNCS single-column format.

| Title: A New Era In Wireless Networking: Millimeter Wave, RAN Virtualization, AI, and Joint Communication & Sensing |
| By Haitham Hassanieh |
| École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) |
| Abstract: Wireless networks and sensors have become entrenched in every aspect of our lives, playing a central role in our homes, workplaces, and industries. With the rise of the Internet of Things and the increasing demand for mobile data, the world is witnessing an unprecedented boom in the number of wireless devices leading to significant research challenges. At the same time, new opportunities are emerging from the introduction of millimeter wave technology, RAN virtualization, and AI all the way to joint communication and sensing. In this talk, I will describe my team’s work on leveraging these opportunities to build scalable, practical, and efficient IoT and wireless technologies. I will describe our work on millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G wireless to enable fast beamforming and dense spatial reuse as well as our work on channel aware 5G RAN Slicing. I will then discuss how we leverage mmWave signals to enable through-fog high-resolution imaging for self-driving cars as well as contactless material sensing. I will also discuss how we can enable joint communication and sensing in next-generation wireless networks. Finally, I will touch on some of our work on enabling communication between micro and nano-implants using biomolecular communication. |

| Title: The right action at the right time: past, present, and future trends in real-time systems design (slides available here) |
| By Mitra Nasri |
| Technical University Eindhoven (TU/e) |
| Abstract:
Real-time systems are pervasive in the automotive, robotics, smart industry, manufacturing, and healthcare domains, where the system’s safety, dependability, or quality of service depends on both functional and temporal correctness, namely, performing the right actions at the right time. Guaranteeing temporal correctness often involves bounding the worst-case end-to-end response-time of the system (e.g., from the moment input data are sent by a sensor to the moment the system responds to it). Bounding the response-time, in turn, requires detailed knowledge about how the underlying hardware platform, operating system, and software components/applications interact with each other and how that interaction influences the timing behavior of the system.
This talk presents the past, current, and future trends in modeling, designing, and verifying real-time systems. It walks through the challenges that new hardware, software, and network technologies introduce in the verification of temporal correctness and discusses existing solutions and open research problems. |

| Title: Pixelated Capacitive Sensors for Embedded Smart Multi-Sensing Application |
| By Frans Widdershoven |
| Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and NXP Semiconductors |
| Abstract: Autonomous smart IoT end-nodes need sensors to interact with their environment. Pixelated Capacitive Sensor (PCS) technology provides a true CMOS-compatible platform for embedding a variety of late-definable sensor functions in single generic CMOS chip, e.g. a microcontroller. This enables designing a variety of tiny low-power smart Edge-IoT applications without expensive upfront investments in modifying precious CMOS processes with long lead times. The PCS technology will be introduced and illustrated with examples. Challenges for embedded tinyML algorithms, necessary to add smartness, will be discussed. |

| Title: BRIDGES – An Advanced Global Infrastructure for Network Experimentation. |
| By Jerry Sobieski |
| NORDUnet |
| Abstract: Over the last 20 years the networks serving the research and education community have become a critical infrastructure to universities and science laboratories the use them worldwide. However, this success has made these networks less malleable and unable to provide the structural or architectural flexibility desired by researchers to experiment with novel approaches to future advanced cyber-infrastructure and services. The next 20 years will usher in many new requirements and capabilities related to cyber-infrastructure that will require a highly flexible, interconnected global canvas that can provide both leading edge performance and a high degree of research malleability to support disruptive experimental service deployments. BRIDGES is high performance testbed networking facility that spans the Atlantic to bind networking and computer science research inititives in US and Europe. This talk will provide an overview of the motivation, architecture, and services concepts BRIDGES is making available to support these research futures. |
| Short bio: Jerry Sobieski is currently co-Principle Investigator on the BRIDGES Project lead by George Mason University in Virginia. BRIDGES is a US National Science Foundation funded program constructing a high performance intercontinental network spanning the Atlantic Ocean to support advanced network and distributed e-science applications among collaborating researchers in the US and Europe.

| Title: The Responsible Internet - a new security pillar for the Internet |
| By Ralf Holz |
| Design and Analysis of Communication Systems group, University of Twente |
| Abstract: While our online security posture has improved substantially in the past two decades, suprisingly much still leaves to be desired - in particular, incentives for better security are still oddly misaligned with business considerations. In this talk, we present the Responsible Internet, a new security pillar for the Internet that is agnostic to technological developments and aims at re-aligning security incentives and boosting overall deployment security. In a nutshell, the Responsible Internet is to the Internet what Responsible AI is to Artificial Intelligence: it adds critical properties that provide stakeholders and users with the means to use the Internet safely and securely. These properties are Controllability, Accountability, and Transparency. By showcasing a number of empirical results from the past 20 years, we demonstrate that recording and logging insights into global network operations allows to hold operators accountable and ultimately shifts the incentives for operators towards investing into better security if they wish to remain competitive. We then show how data flows on the Internet can be steered (Controllability) based on these insights into operations (Transparency) and how one can verify that operators also act as promised (Accountability). The Responsible Internet, whose development is currently kick-started in a 2m EUR multidisciplinary project within the Dutch national research agenda, is an enabler of Digital Sovereignty: it gives end-users a way to determine how their data is handled in transit, and it provides new business opportunities for operators. We conclude with an invitation to join this effort and collaborate on this new paradigm. |
| Short bio: Ralf Holz is an Associate Professor in Empirical Security and Internet Evolution in the Design and Analysis of Communication Systems Group at the University of Twente. His research interests revolve around understanding and improving the Internet for everyone, with a particular focus on security aspects. Most recently, he has been working on Global-scale measurement of Internet service deployments and their security Data-driven security mechanisms Analysis of emerging technology and its implications He views his work through the lens of real-world implications. The tech is not always what matters—it’s the embedding in our world that makes it meaningful. Hence, he works with other disciplines and industry alike to make the Internet a safer, more secure, and altogether more interesting and useful place. |

4.5 - Panel
The Present and Future of Computer and Network Systems in the Netherlands
Panelists: Alexandru Iosup (VU Amsterdam), Paola Grosso (University of Amsterdam), Kees De Laat (University of Amsterdam), Lydia Chen (TU Delft) with Animesh Trivedi (VU Amsterdam).
When: Monday 28th, June 2021, 4-5pm.
Details: Our modern society and competitive economy depend on a strong digital foundation and, in turn, on sustained computer systems research and innovation. Computer systems, ranging from small, embedded devices to large data centers and the networks that connect them, are a remarkable technology area with an outstanding impact on society. About two-thirds of the Dutch yearly GDP of 1 trillion is based on datacenters, but the investment in R&D in this area is not proportional and also not matching investments in other areas. In this panel, we open the discussion about why this is the case, why it shouldn't, and what we can do about it.
CompSys 2021 : Ask Us Anything!
Panelist: Suzan Bayhan, Bala Chandrasekaran, Dick Epema, and Paola Grosso
Moderator: Animesh Trivedi
When: Tuesday 29th, June 2021, 3:30-4:15pm.
Details: A Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) inspired Q&A session where you can ask our panelists anything related to their opinions (e.g., on research, education, funding), their approach towards work, work-life balance, academic life, and all the big questions regarding life, the universe and everything.

| Ultrafast magnetism and Brain-inspired approaches for Green ICT |
| By Prof. Dr. Theo Rasing |
| Radboud University, Institute for Molecules and Materials, Nijmegen, the Netherlands |
| Abstract The explosive growth of digital data use and storage has led to an enormous rise in global energy consumption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), which already stands at 7% of the world electricity consumption1. New ICT technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence push this exponentially increasing energy requirement even more, though the underlying hardware paradigm is utterly inefficient: tasks like pattern recognition can be performed by the human brain with only 20W, while conventional (super)computers require 10 MW. Therefore, the development of radically new physical principles that combine energy-efficiency with high speeds and high densities is crucial for a sustainable future. One of those is the use of non-thermodynamic routes that promises orders of magnitude faster and more energy efficient manipulation of bits2. Another one is neuromorphic computing, that is inspired by the notion that our brain uses a million times less energy than a supercomputer while, at least for some tasks, it even outperforms the latter. In this talk, I will discuss the state of the art in ultrafast manipulation of magnetic bits and present some first results3 to implement brain-inspired computing concepts in magnetic materials that operate close to these ultimate limits.

| Automated Verification of Parallel Nested DFS with the VerCors verifier |
| Prof. Dr. Marieke Huisman |
| University of Twente |
| Abstract The VerCors verifier is a tool set for the verification of parallel and concurrent software. Its main characteristics are (i) that it can verify programs under different concurrency models, written in high-level programming languages, such as for example in Java, OpenCL and OpenMP; and (ii) that it can reason not only about race freedom and memory safety, but also about functional correctness. In this talk I will first give an overview of the VerCors verifier, and how it has been used for the verification of many different parallel and concurrent algorithms. In the second part of my talk I will zoom in on the verification of a parallel model checking algorithm. Model checking algorithms are typically complex algorithms whose correctness is crucial for the usability of a model checker. However, establishing the correctness of such algorithms can be challenging, and is often done manually. Model checking algorithms are often parallelized for efficiency reasons, which makes them even more error-prone, and thus we need to use mechanized techniques to reason about their correctness. I will show how we used Vercors to mechanically verify the parallel nested depth first algorithm of Laarman et al. We also show how having a mechanized proof supports the easy verification of various optimizations of the algorithm. As far as we are aware, this is the first deductive verification of a multi-core model checking algorithm. |
| Short bio Marieke Huisman is well-known for her work on program verification and specification, and software reliability. At the University of Twente, she leads the Formal Methods and Tools group. In 2011, she obtained an ERC Starting Grant for the VerCors project on the verification of concurrent software, where she studied practical verification of concurrent programs, and developed verification techniques for advanced programming and specification constructs. All verifications are supported by the VerCors tool set. In follow-up projects, the results have been expanded to programming languages for other parallel computing paradigms, such as GPUs and distribution (EU project CARP, NWO Top project VerDi). She currently is working on adding support to reason at a more abstract level, and to increase the level of automation of the verification process, as part of her NWO VICI project Mercedes (2018 - 2022). In 2013, she received the Netherlands Prize for ICT research 2013. |

| Shared-Memory Heterogeneous Computing |
| By Dr. Peter Hofstee |
| IBM Research, Austin, TX |
| Abstract Shared-memory heterogeneous computing is gaining ground, but poses challenges to the programming community that are at least as large as those that resulted from the single- to multi-core transition. This talk covers some of the architectural foundations, drawing some lessons from the Cell Broadband Engine ( and the Roadrunner supercomputer ) more than a decade ago, then looks at how this approach is working out in recent systems with shared memory combinations of CPUs and GPUs and/or FPGAs, and finally examines how it is likely to evolve. |
| Short bio Dr. Peter Hofstee is best known for his contributions to Heterogeneous computing as the chief architect of the Synergistic Processor Elements in the Cell Broadband Engine processor used in the Sony PlayStation 3, and the first supercomputer to reach sustained Petaflop operation. After returning to IBM research in 2011 he has focused on optimizing the system roadmap for big data, analytics, and cloud, including the use of accelerated compute. His early research work on coherently attached reconfigurable acceleration on POWER7 paved the way for the new coherent attach processor interface on POWER8. Peter Hofstee is an IBM Master Inventor with more than 100 issued patents and a member of the IBM Academy of Technology. |
| Tuesday June 4th, 13:30-14:30 |
| By Prof. Simon Portegies Zwart |
| Observatory, Leiden University |
| Abstract Energy and momentum are conserved in Newton's laws of gravitation. Numerical integration of the equations of motion should comply to these requirements in order to guarantee the correctness of a solution, but this turns out to be insufficient. The steady growth of numerical errors and the exponential divergence, renders numerical solutions over more than a dynamical time-scale meaningless. Even time reversibility is not a guarantee for finding the definitive solution to the numerical few-body problem. As a consequence, numerical N-body simulations produce questionable results. Using brute force integrations to arbitrary numerical precision I will demonstrate empirically that the statistics of an ensemble of resonant 3-body interactions is independent of the precision of the numerical integration, and conclude that, although individual solutions using common integration methods are unreliable, an ensemble of approximate 3-body solutions accurately represent the ensemble of true solutions. |
| Short bio Since 2009 Simon Portegies Zwart leads an interdisciplinary research team on Computational Astrophysics at the Sterrewacht Leiden (CAstLe). This team is currently composedof 1 software engineer, 2 postdoctoralresearchers, 6 PhD students and 4 MSc students. The aim of this team is to study the universe by means ofsimulation. The specific areas of research in astrophysics include the evolution of exotic planetary systems,the evolution of binary (and higher order multiple) stars, and the dynamical evolution of dense stellar systemssuch as globular clusters and galactic nuclei. From a computational point of view the research group aimsat the development of simulation environments for solving the equations for gravitational dynamics, stellarstructure and evolution, hydrodynamics and radiative transfer. Calculations are performed on computers builtby the research group and equipped with GRAPE hardware or graphical processing units (GPU) but also usingsupercomputers and grids. |

| Riding on the Edge: The Fun, Risks, and Lessons |
| By Dr. Aaron Ding |
| ESS Group, TU Delft |
| Abstract This talk will introduce three initiatives on edge computing, namely FLAMeS, LocalVLC, and FADES, intended for edge analytics, communication and offloading. Besides sharing first-hand experience on system development and insights, the talk will reveal several pitfalls and lessons learned through live cases. The goal is twofold: 1) to disclose blind spots and interesting directions in the edge domain that deserve further investigations, and 2) to share observations on doing research in a “buzzword” domain, especially what may hinder us from transferring the (mostly fun) system work into solid scientific outcome.TBD |

| Programming networks |
| By Dr. Paola Grosso |
| Systems and Networking Lab, UvA |
| Abstract Current advances in designing and engineering computer networks offer a path toward autonomous and flexible networking decisions. An key element toward this behavior is network programmability. Future networks will be able to react to external events, such as security incidents, and efficiently change their topology and behavior. In this talk I will present our latest research results in this area, and identify the challenges and opportunities ahead. |
| Short bio Dr. Paola Grosso is associate professor in the Systems and Networking Lab at the University of Amsterdam. She is the coordinator and lead researcher of all the group activities in the field of multi-scale networks and systems. Her research interests lie in the creation of sustainable e-Infrastructures, relying on the provisioning and design of programmable networks. She currently participates in several national projects, such as SARNET, DL4LD, SecConNet and in EU H2020-funded projects such as FED4FIRE+, GN4 and ENVRIPLUS. |

| Large-Scale Graph Processing for Network-Driven Insights in Finance and Economics |
| By Dr. Frank Takes |
| LIACS, Leiden University |
| Abstract The interdisciplinary field of network science aims to extract meaningful knowledge from network data. In this talk we explore different aspects of this field, related to the efficient computation of network measures, large-scale network visualization and flow simulation. Each of these aspects in one way or the other involves a number of HPC-related methodologies. In addition, when applied to a large-scale dataset of millions of connected corporations across the globe, we demonstrate how we can use these algorithms to obtain new insights in the underlying data. For example, they allow us to better understand the community structure of our global economy, its underlying social structure, but also topics in finance and economics, such as tax evasion. |
| Short bio Frank Takes is an assistant professor at the computer science department of Leiden University, working on algorithms for extracting actionable knowledge from real-world network data; a field known as computational network science. He is involved in several projects with the Dutch government, the NWO eScience center and Statistics Netherlands (CBS), and is a visiting fellow at the CORPNET research group of the University of Amsterdam, where he works in an interdisciplinary research team on understanding large-scale networks of corporations. |

After several years of collocation with ICT.OPEN, the Dutch computing and computer science community has decided to also host an independent annual conference, with an enlarged and more international scope. The goal of this event is to provide a meeting space for research and industry ideas in the area of computing and computer science, for a community we estimate at a few hundred nationally and a few thousand internationally. In this first edition, the conference will focus on community building, providing a forum to discuss ongoing projects for both senior researchers and experienced engineers, and Ph.D. and M.Sc. students in the Netherlands.
The conference lasts three days and focuses on the major research and practice themes related to computing and computer science. We envision a diverse program, from keynotes on advanced topics to project overviews emphasizing the strengths of Dutch and international IT projects, from presentations from Ph.D. and M.Sc. students to tutorials on building a career in computing and computer science.
This first edition is organized as a retreat: consider asking the organizers for a Birds-of-a-Feather meeting or a session on your interests.
