High-Performance Computing (HPC) Symposium 2008 – 37th JAIIO
The use and development of High-Performance Computing (HPC) in Latin America is steadily growing. New challenges come from the new capabilities provided by clusters, grids, and distributed systems for HPC, promoting research and innovation in this area. The HPC Symposium (HPCS 2008), Santa Fe, Argentina, on September 2008, will bring together researchers, developers, and users of HPC to discuss new ideas, experiences, and problems. HPCS 2008 will be part of the 37th Argentine Conference on Computer Science and Operational Research (37 JAIIO), the international conference of the Argentine Society for Computer Science and Operational Research (SADIO). The full 37 JAIIO Conference will be held on September, including symposia in other relevant areas.
The main goal of HPCS 2008 is to provide a regional forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in HPC. The symposium will feature invited talks, tutorials, short- and full-paper sessions presenting both mature work and new ideas in research and industrial applications. Suggested topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
- Distributed and Grid Computing
- Parallel Algorithms and Architectures
- High Performance Applications
- High Performance Software Tools
- Virtualization in High Performance Computing
- Visualization and Data Management
- Tools and Environments for High Performance System Engineering
- Component Technologies for High Performance Computing
- Parallelism and Data Sharing on Multi-core Architectures
- Graphics Processing Units in High Performance Computing
- Country-wide Grid Initiatives
Instructions for Authors
Submissions of short- and full-papers must follow the following format: they must be written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese (but papers in English are strongly recommended), 11 points font, double-spaced, A4 (210 x 297 millimeters) paper, and include keywords. Submissions will be handled electronically through the JEMS conference management system.
The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the symposium. At least one author of each accepted paper must be duly registered for the symposium in order for the paper to be scheduled in the papers session and to appear in the 37 JAIIO proceedings.
Short papers/Extended abstracts
Authors are invited to submit short papers (also called Extended Abstracts) for results that are too late to be submitted as regular full-length papers. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages. Short papers accepted for the program will appear in the JAIIO proceedings (in short form - not expanded to full papers - and with Extended Abstract in the title) and be presented orally during the symposium (in suitably shorter speaking slots) as a regular part of the program.
Regular full-length papers
Full papers must not exceed 12 pages, including name, affiliation and address of the author(s), figures, tables, and references, and an abstract of no more than 200 words. All full paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least two experts and returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of accepted papers. Full papers accepted for the program will appear in the JAIIO proceedings.
Important Dates:
- Paper submission deadline: May 30, 2008
- Notification of acceptance: July 11, 2008
- Camera-ready papers due: July 18, 2008
- Registration of one author for the accepted paper: July 18, 2008
