Call Now Open for ISC 2018 Research Papers
FRANKFURT, Oct. 5, 2017 -- Submissions are now open for the ISC 2018 conference research paper sessions, which aim to provide first-class opportunities for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to present and discuss issues, trends, and results that will shape the future of high performance computing (HPC). Submissions will be accepted through December 22, 2017.
The research paper sessions will be held from Monday, June 25, through Wednesday, June 27, 2018. ISC High Performance (ISC 2018) will be hosted in Frankfurt, Germany.
Submitted research papers will be peer-reviewed double-blind by at least four reviewers. This year’s Research Papers Committee is headed by Prof. David Keyes, KAUST, as Chair and Dr.-Ing. Carsten Trinitis, TU Munich, as Deputy Chair and Prof. Rio Yokota, Tokyo Institute of Technology, as Proceedings Chair and Dr. Michèle Weiland, EPCC, as Proceedings Deputy Chair.
Publication
All accepted research papers will be published in the Springer‘s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For the camera-ready version, authors are automatically granted one extra page to incorporate reviewer comments. The publication is free of charge and the published papers can be downloaded from Springer‘s website for a limited time after the conference. The proceedings are indexed in the ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S), included in ISI Web of Science, EI Engineering Index (Compendex and Inspec databases), ACM Digital Library, DBLP, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus and Zentralblatt MATH.
Areas of Interest
The Research Papers Committee encourages the submission of high-quality papers reporting original work in theoretical, experimental, and industrial research and development. The ISC submission process will be divided into seven tracks this year.
| Architectures & Networks
• Future design concepts of HPC systems • Multicore / manycore systems • Heterogeneous systems • Network technology • Domain-specific architectures • Memory technologies • Trends in the HPC chip market • Exascale computing |
Data, Storage & Visualization
• From big data to smart data • Memory systems for HPC & big data • File systems & tape libraries • Data-intensive applications • Databases • Visual analytics • In-situ analytics
|
| HPC Applications
• Highly scalable applications • Convergence of simulations & big data • Scalability on future architectures • Workflow management • Coupled simulations • Industrial simulations • Implementations on SIMT accelerators |
HPC Algorithms
• Innovative algorithms, discrete or continuous • Algorithmic-based fault tolerance • Communication-reducing algorithms • Synchronization-reducing algorithms • Time-space tradeoffs in algorithms
|
| Programming Models & Systems Software
• Parallel programming paradigms • Tools and libraries for performance & productivity • Job management • Monitoring & administration tools • Productivity improvement • Energy efficiency |
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
