The 2006 International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC-06)

Call for Papers

With the rapid growth in computing and communications technology, the past decade has witnessed a proliferation of powerful parallel and distributed systems and an ever increasing demand for practice of high performance computing and communications (HPCC). HPCC has moved into the mainstream of computing and has become a key technology in determining future research and development activities in many academic and industrial branches, especially when the solution of large and complex problems must cope with very tight timing schedules.
The HPCC-06 conference provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address the resulting profound challenges and to present and discuss their new ideas, research results, applications and experience on all aspects of high performance computing and communications.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Networking protocols, routing, algorithms
  • Languages and compilers for HPC
  • Parallel and distributed architectures
  • Parallel and distributed algorithms
  • Embedded systems
  • Wireless, mobile and pervasive computing
  • Web services and internet computing
  • Peer-to-peer computing
  • Grid and cluster computing
  • Reliability, fault-tolerance, and security
  • Performance evaluation and measurement
  • Tools and environments for software development
  • Distributed systems and applications
  • High-performance scientific and engineering computing
  • Database applications and data mining
  • Biological/molecular computing
  • Collaborative and cooperative environments
  • Programming interfaces for parallel systems

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed ten pages including tables and figures. All paper submissions must already be formatted according to the guidelines for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and represent unpublished and original work. Manuscripts must be submitted in PDF format, usage of LaTeX as a document preparation system is strongly encouraged. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Submissions to HPCC-06 will be conducted electronically on the conference website.

SPECIAL SESSIONS

Special sessions are planned for the conference. Proposals to organize special sessions should include the following information: name and address (including e-mail) of the chair, title of the session, and a 100-word abstract of the topic of the session. Please send your proposal via e-mail to one of the chairs by January 15th, 2006.

Paper submission: April 3, 2006 (now closed)
Acceptance notification: Has been sent out May 30, 2006
Camera ready version: June 26, 2006
Conference: September 13-15, 2006

PUBLICATIONS

The accepted papers will be published in proceedings of the HPCC-06 conference by Springer's Lecture Note in Computer Science (LNCS). Selected best papers will be considered as a special issue of the International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking (IJHPCN).

BEST PAPER AWARD

The program committee will select one winner for the best paper award (all regular papers are eligible). The winner will be presented at the conference with a certificate and US$300.
