IMPORTANT DATES

The 19th annual IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2012) will be held at the Le Meridien hotel in Pune, India, during December 18-21, 2012. It will serve as a forum for researchers from around the world to present their current research efforts and findings, and will act as a venue for stimulating discussions and highlighting high performance computing (HPC) related activities in Asia. The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world. HiPC 2012 will focus on the design and analysis of high performance computing and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. In addition to technical sessions consisting of contributed papers, the conference will include invited presentations, a student research symposium, tutorials, and vendor presentations in the industry, user and research symposium. The 18th meeting, held in Bengaluru in December 2011, had 40 contributed papers chosen from 206 submissions from 22 countries, and more than 450 attendees. The 17th meeting, held in Goa in December 2010, had 40 contributed papers chosen from 208 submissions from 22 countries, and more than 280 attendees. The 16th meeting, held in Kochi, India in December 2009, had 49 contributed papers that were selected from 261 submissions from 20 countries, and about 225 participants attended the meeting. Further information about HiPC 2012 and the HiPC series of meetings is available on the conference website at www.hipc.org.

MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES

Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed 10 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with columns 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully justified text). Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make sure that the file will print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. The official language of the meeting is English.

Manuscript submission procedures are available over the Web at www.hipc.org. Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file. Manuscripts must be received by May 30th, 2012. Manuscripts should demonstrate current research in any area of high performance computing. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair at the address below for further information or clarification. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by July 31st, 2012.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops for HiPC 2012 have been finalized and the latest updates for the planned set of workshops can be found at www.hipc.org/hipc2012/workshops.php

STUDENT RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

HiPC 2012 will feature the Fifth Student Research Symposium (SRS) on High Performance Computing (HPC) aimed at stimulating and fostering student research, and providing an international forum to highlight student research accomplishments. The symposium will also expose students to the best practices in HPC in academia and industry. The one-day symposium will feature brief presentations by student authors on their research, followed by a poster exhibit. Short invited talks by leading HPC researchers/practitioners will be part of the program. The HiPC Conference Reception and Student Symposium Poster Exhibits will provide an opportunity for students to interact with HPC researchers, practitioners and recruiters from academia and industry. To be considered, students should submit a 5 page extended abstract of their research. Submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the program committee for technical quality, innovative contributions, and presentation. Submission instructions will be available at the Student Symposium web site, accessible from www.hipc.org after August 15, 2012. For additional details, please visit the conference web site or contact the Symposium Co-Chairs.

Student Research Symposium Contacts

INDUSTRY, RESEARCH AND USER SYMPOSIUM (IRUS)
