The computation of large scale graphs represents a novel challenge both for the HPC and the Data Mining (DM) communities. The potential benefits of exploiting these large networks are huge, but successful research requires a cooperative approach. To promote the collaboration between those who know what to do (DM researchers) and those who know what can be done and how (HPC researchers), we propose the 1st High Performance Graph Mining workshop. A workshop strongly oriented towards discussion and cooperation.

The 1st High Performance Graph Mining workshop (HPGM2015) will be co-located with the 21st on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD), in Sydney, Australia, on August 10th. This is a great opportunity to showcase your basic and applied research on High Performance Graph Mining, and to get in touch with top researchers from the High Performance Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Graph Mining communities.

Topics of Interest

The topics of interest of the HPGM'15 include, but are not limited to:

Graph-specific parallel programming models
Optimization of traditional parallel programming models for the computation of large-scale graphs
HPC tools for the efficient representation and distribution of graph data and algorithms.
Design of scalable graph mining algorithms
Parallelization and evaluation of graph mining tasks using HPC tools and infrastructure
Successful/relevant use cases on the mining of large network domains

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type of Papers

Since HPGM is an emerging field, we encourage all kinds of submissions:

Novel research papers
Work-in-progress papers
Position papers
Visionary papers
Demo papers


Authors should indicate in their abstracts the kind of submission that the paper belongs to, to help reviewers better understand their contributions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Format

Submissions must be made in PDF format to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpgm15
Submissions must be no more than 8 pages long — shorter papers are welcome — including references, diagrams, and appendices, if any. The required format is the standard double column ACM Proceedings Template, Tighter Alternate style.
