(sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (HPCMS) Within PDP 2020 (www.pdp2020.com) The 28th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and Network-Based Computing Västerås (Sweden) 11-13 March 2020 http://www.pdp2020.com/specialsessions/hpcms/hpcms.html Deadline: September 15th, 2019 Contact: William Spataro - spataro(a)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 at PDP (since 2014), we are glad to invite you to our sixth edition which will take place in 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 IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: 15 September 2019 Acceptance notification: 20 October 2019 Camera ready due: 11 December 2019 Conference: 11 - 13 March 2020 Submission guidelines Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt).
