In-Cooperation With: MeitY
Patrons: MINRO, AMAZON, Prof. Ram Kumar Memorial Foundation
============================================================
AIMLSystems is a brand new conference targeting research in the intersection of 
AI/ML techniques and systems engineering. Through this conference we plan to bring 
out and highlight the natural connections between these two fields. Specifically we 
explore how immense strides in AI/ML techniques are made possible through computational 
systems research (e.g., improvements in CPU/GPU architectures, data-intensive 
infrastructure, communications etc.),  how the use of AI/ML can help in the continuous 
and workload-driven design space exploration of computational systems (e.g., self-tuning 
databases, learning compiler optimizers, learnable network systems etc.) and, the use of 
AI/ML in the design of socio-economic systems such as public healthcare, and security.  
The goal is to bring together these diverse communities and elicit connections between 
them.

The conference is planned to be held in hybrid mode allowing both online and in-person 
participation.

Contributions are invited under Research, Industry & Applications, and Demonstration 
Tracks of the conference. Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished 
research at the intersection of computational / socio-economic systems and AI/ML. 

------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------------
The areas of interest are broadly categorized into the following three streams: 

- Systems for AI/ML (e.g., CPU/GPU architectures for AI/ML; Embedded hardware for 
  AI/ML workloads; Data intensive systems for efficient and distributed training; 
  Challenges in production deployment of ML systems; Efficient model training, 
  optimization and inference; Hardware efficient ML methods; Resource-constrained 
  ML; etc.)

- AI/ML for Systems (e.g., AI/ML for VLSI and architecture design; AI/ML in compiler 
  optimization; AI/ML in data management - including database optimizations, 
  virtualization, etc.; AI/ML for networks - design of networks, load modeling, etc.; 
  AI/ML for power management - green computing, power models, etc.)

- Applications of AI/ML in Socio-Economic Systems Design (e.g., Computational design 
  and analysis of socio-economic systems; Fair and bias-free systems for social welfare, 
  business platforms; Applications of AI/ML in the design, short-/long-term analysis 
  of cyber-physical systems; Mechanism design for socio-economic systems; Applications 
  of AI/ML in financial systems; etc.)

Papers are invited under different tracks. Authors are requested to visit the website 
for individual track deadlines. 

----------------------------
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
----------------------------
Research papers must not exceed 6 pages, including any appendix and bibliography. 
Only electronic submissions in PDF format will be considered. Page limits and 
formatting instructions for all remaining tracks will be announced on the conference 
website. Paper review will follow single-blind policy. 

The manuscripts can be submitted in PDF, formatted using ACM sigconf style through 
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/AIMLSystems2021

Papers can be submitted under any of the three main topics listed above. A number of 
papers accepted under each topic are not capped. We will accept all papers that meet 
the high quality and innovation levels required by the AIMLSystems conference. 
All papers that are accepted will appear in the proceedings. 

All accepted papers will be presented as posters at AIMLSystems 2021, but a select 
subset of them will be given a “conventional” (oral) presentation slot during the 
conference. However, all accepted papers will be treated equally in the conference 
proceedings, which are the persistent, archival record of the conference.

It is to be noted that all accepted papers at AIMLSystems'21 will be archived in the 
ACM Digital Library.

----------------------------------
DUAL SUBMISSION POLICY
----------------------------------
A paper submitted to AIMLSystems can not be under review at any other conference 
or journal during the entire time it is considered for review at AIMLSystems, and it 
must be substantially different from any previously published work or any work under 
review. After submission and during the review period, submissions to AIMLSystems must 
not be submitted to other conferences/journals for consideration. However, authors 
may publish at non-archival venues, such as workshops without proceedings, or as 
technical reports (including arXiv).

---------
ETHICS
---------
- Plagiarism Policy: Submission of papers to AIMLSystems 2021 carries with it the 
  implied agreement that the paper represents original work. We will follow the 
  ACM Policy on Plagiarism, Misrepresentation, and Falsification -- see 
  https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism-overview

  All submitted papers will be subjected to a "similarity test". Papers achieving a 
  high similarity score will be examined and those that are deemed unacceptable will 
  be rejected without a formal review. Conference organizers also reserve the right 
  to report such unacceptable submissions to the superiors of each of the authors.

- Author Participation: Submission of papers to AIMLSystems 2021 also carries with it 
the implied agreement that one or more of the listed authors will register for and 
attend the conference and present the paper. Papers not presented at the conference 
will not be included in the final program or in the digital proceedings. Therefore, 
authors are strongly encouraged to plan accordingly before deciding to submit a paper.
