*************************************************************************
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 at PDP (since 2014),
we are glad to invite you to our sixth edition which will take place
in Vasteras (Västerås) (Sweden).
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

CALL FOR PAPERS
PCT’2020 admits papers presenting original contribution that have not been previously published and are not being submitted to another conference or journal.
There are three categories of submissions:
* Full paper describes the results of completed scientific research (12 to 15 pages in the LNCS one-column page format).
* Short paper reports preliminary results of uncompleted scientific research (up to 12 pages in the LNCS one-column page format).
* Abstract of the poster contains information about plans and initial results of recently started scientific research (one standard A4 page).
Papers may be prepared in LaTeX or MS Word according to the LNCS one-column page format (cf. guidelines at the conference website http://agora.guru.ru/pavt2020/, "For Authors" section). Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pct2020 by December 1, 2019.
Each paper will be reviewed by three Program Committee members and/or invited experts to ensure high quality and relevance to the conference.
At least one author of the accepted paper must attend the conference and present the paper.
PROCEEDINGS
All accepted full papers will be published in Springer’s Communications in Computer and Information Science series (https://link.springer.com/conference/pct, indexed in Web of Science and Scopus), final approval pending. All accepted short papers and posters will be published electronically and indexed in Russian Science Index.
The best short papers in English will be recommended for publication in Supercomputing Frontiers and Innovations (http://superfri.org, indexed in Scopus, Q2).
