CALL FOR PAPERS:

Fifth Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and
Simulation (HPCMS)

Within PDP 2018

The 26th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and
Network-Based Computing
Cambridge, UK
21-23 March 2018

http://www.pdp2018.org

Deadline: September 15th, 2017

Contact: William Spataro - spataro@unical.it

AIMS AND SCOPE
The development of models through which computers can simulate the
evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the
advancement of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of
computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing
methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study
of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical
methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one
hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as
Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence,
etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for
modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to
be impracticable.

Following the success of our past HPCMS workshops which were held in Turin,
Turku and Crete, we are glad to invite you to our fourth edition which will
take place in St. Petersburg (Russia).

An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop is to provide a platform for a
multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers,
educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities,
Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in
the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field.
HPCMS intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on
trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields,
such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine,
ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary
and multi-disciplinary research applications
- Complex systems modelling and simulation
- Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm
Intelligence implementations
- Integrated approach to optimization and simulation
- MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science
- Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in
Computational Science
- High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological,
physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems
- Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and
simulation

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission: 15th Sep 2017
Acceptance notification: 13th Oct 2017
Camera ready due: 17nd Nov 2017
Conference: 21th - 23th Mar 2018

Submission guidelines
Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the
IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt).
Double-bind review: the first page of the paper should contain only the
title and abstract; in the reference list, references to the authors’ own
work should appear as "omitted for blind review" entries. For submission,
please use the follwoing link:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2018

Manuscript submission Publication
All accepted papers will be included in the same volume, published by the
Conference Publishing Services (CPS). The Final Paper Preparation and
Submission Instructions will be published after the notification of
acceptance. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present
their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will be submitted
for inclusion in Xplore and the CSDL, and for indexing, among others, to
DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.

Special Issue
As for previous editions, organizers of the HPCMS session are planning a
Special Issue of an important international ISI Journal, based on
distinguished papers that will be accepted for the session. For instance, a
selected number of papers of the past workshop editions have been published
on the ISI Journal “International Journal of High Performance Computing
Applications” and “Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience”.
