[Sorry if you get multiple copies of this message] *Call for Papers and Participation** ** **The 2018 High Performance Computing & Simulation Conference** **(HPCS 2018)** ** **July 16-20, 2018** **Orléans, France** **http://hpcs2018.cisedu.info/  or  http://cisedu.us/rp/hpcs18 ** * In Cooperation with the ACM, IEEE, IFIP (Main Track Paper Submission Deadline: _February 22, 2018_) (Other Conference tracks may have different submission deadlines - Please check the specific track of interest.) HPCS Proceedings are to be published in IEEE XPLORE (pending) and indexed by all major indexing services, including SCOPUS, EI, Sci, dblp, etc. You are cordially invited to participate in this international conference through paper submission to main track, symposium, workshop or special session, a tutorial, an invited speech, a demo, a poster, an exhibit, a panel discussion, a doctoral dissertation, whichever sounds more appropriate and convenient to you. 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 high performance and large scale computing systems, their use in modeling and simulation, their design, performance and use, and their applications. There will also be tutorial sessions, workshops, special sessions, demos, posters, panel discussions, doctoral colloquium, and exhibits.  Conference sponsorships are welcomed.
