Invitation:
You are cordially invited to participate in and attend the 2012
International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation to be
held in Madrid, Spain, July 2 – 6, 2012).  The conference is to address,

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.


Submission of Papers:
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on above and
related HPC topics are solicited.  Please submit an electronic copy of
your full manuscript (not to exceed 7 double-column IEEE formatted pages,
including figures, tables, and references).  Additional pages will be
charged additional fee.  Please clearly indicate the corresponding author
and include emails for all co-authors of the papers.  Include up to 6
keywords from the above list and an abstract of no more than 350 words.
Papers must be submitted in .pdf format only via web at the following
conference website: http://hpcs12.cisedu.info/ (Upload link

procedures will be available on this website.  If accepted, the final
camera-ready manuscript will follow the format 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, significance, timeliness, relevance, and clarity of
presentation.  Initial selection will be based on full papers.  Submission
implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and
present the paper, if accepted.  All accepted papers in the conference are
required to be presented and will be included in the conference
proceedings.  Manuscripts submitted should not be under simultaneous
consideration by any other conference or venues.
