The conference is to address, explore and exchange information on the state-of-the-art in high performance and large scale computing systems, their use in modeling and simulation, their design, performance and use, and their impact. Participation is extended to researchers, designers, educators and interested parties in all related disciplines and specialties. Purpose: The conference will include invited presentations by experts from academia, industry, and government as well as contributed paper presentations describing original work on the current state of research in HPC & simulation technologies and systems and related issues. Topics for main conference and its tracks include (but are not limited to): Architectures and Systems
Algorithms
Software and Middleware in HPC Systems
Applications-Oriented High Performance
Submission of Papers: Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on above and any other related HPCS topics are solicited. Manuscripts submitted should not be under simultaneous consideration by any other conference or venues. Submission should include a completed online web based form (can also include a cover page) with authors' names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses of all authors. Manuscripts templates are posted on the Author's Info page. Please indicate clearly the corresponding author(s), although all authors are equally responsible for the paper and its content. Include up to 7 keywords from the above list and an abstract of no more than 400 words. Electronic submissions to main conference track will be accepted only in PDF format, uploaded to this web site (left menu). Please submit an electronic copy of your full draft manuscript, not to exceed 8 pages in the single-spaced, double-column format, including figures, tables, and references, according to the template posted on the HPCS 2019 web site using the conference web site submission link (Upload) at http://hpcs2019.cisedu.info/. Additional pages will be charged an additional fee. If accepted, the final camera-ready manuscript will follow the conference format template posted, which will be made available to all authors. Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, soundness, contributions and significance, timeliness, relevance, flow and clarity of presentation, language and overall quality. Initial selection will be based on full papers. Papers are accepted based on these criteria and not those of the authors or their institutions. Submission implies the firm intent and willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. No withdrawal is permitted after the acceptance decision unless there is reasonable cause as determined by the conference organizers. All accepted papers in the conference are required to be presented and will be included in the conference proceedings. People with a submission for the purpose of obtaining reviews only will be flagged and reported for the violation. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings papers have been historically indexed in all major indexing services. The Conference policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the contents of papers under review as privileged information not to be disclosed to others before publication. It is expected that no one with access to a manuscript under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge which that access provides. Contents of manuscripts submitted to the tracks program committees should be regarded as privileged as well and handled in the same manner and professional standards. The Conference Publications and Program Chairs shall require that all referees adhere to this practice. For information about the HPCS 2019 conference in general, please contact the conference organizers or consult the conference web site. Important Dates:
* Other tracks have their own deadlines. Please check their respective web page. Journals Opportunities Plans are underway to have the best accepted papers be selected for publication in some journal special issue(s). Detailed information will soon be announced, and will be made available on the official conference website. Tracks, Symposia, Workshops and Special Sessions Tracks, Symposia, Workshops and Special Sessions on HPCS related topics are welcomed. A workshop or a special session proposal should include a title, topics covered by the workshop, organizers information, submission instructions, review process, important dates, total number of expected accepted papers, and any other information for the authors. Proposals for tracks, symposia, workshops and special sessions should be submitted by January 30, 2019 as a Word file email attachment. See Tracks, Symposia, Workshops and Special Sessions web page for more information. Tutorials The conference will offer tutorials (typically 2-4 -hours) on state-of-the-art topics in HPCS. Each tutorial proposal should provide a title, topics to be covered, targeted audience, prerequisites, and a brief biography and qualifications of the instructor. All proposals should be submitted to Tutorials Chairs by 30 April 2019. See Tutorials web page for more information. Panels and Forums Panel sessions and forums will examine innovative, promising, or controversial HPCS issues today. They will also address HPCS challenges and future prospects. Audience participation will be welcomed. If you have ideas or questions concerning Conference’s panels and forums, please contact Panels Chairs. Proposals are welcomed and should be submitted by 30 April 2019. See Panels web page for more information. Posters Posters addressing preliminary results, innovative ideas, work in progress, late-breaking results, HPC tools, platforms and products, and other work not suitable for a formal paper and best presented in an interactive setting are solicited. Posters will be held in a special session where presenters will demonstrate their work directly to conference attendees. Proposals for posters are welcomed and should be submitted to Posters Co-Chairs by 30 April 2019. See Posters web page for more information. Demonstrations Demos and experiential showcases of HPC and large scale computing environments and tools are highly encouraged. These may include any of the themes outlined in the conference topics. If you have any questions, please contact Demos Chairs. Proposals for demos are welcomed and should be submitted by 30 April 2019. See Demos web page for more information. Doctoral Dissertation Colloquium The HPCS Doctoral Colloquium is intended to bring together PhD students working on HPCS related topics, to provide them a friendly forum and an opportunity to present, discuss and illustrate their ongoing research in a constructively critical and informal atmosphere, to obtain valuable feedback from conference attendees, particularly senior researchers and experts in the field. Additionally, the colloquium is meant to facilitate the interaction and collaboration with other researchers. Doctoral students who have not defended their thesis prior to HPCS 2018 are invited to participate in the HPCS Doctoral Colloquium. Proposals for the Doctoral Colloquium are welcomed and should be submitted by 30 April 2019. See DDC web page for more information. Exhibits Exhibit booths will be available to display your newest products and technologies. Make plans now to take advantage of this prime advertising opportunity. If you have any questions, please contact Exhibits Chairs. Proposals are welcomed and should be submitted by 15 May 2019. See Exhibits web page for more information. Sponsorship and Industry Liaison The HPCS 2019 Conference seeks interested Industry Partners who would be willing to sponsor conference events or social activities (e.g., exhibits reception, speaker sponsorship, registration handout packets, special break snacks, etc.). If an industry representative is interested in becoming an HPCS 2019 Industry Partner or would like to propose an event or activity at the conference, please contact the Industry Liaison Chairs.
