Topics of interest include:

• High Performance Computing Applications
• Parallel Algorithms, Architectures and Performance Analysis
• High Performance Visualization and Virtual Environments
• Problem Solving Environments for Cluster Computing and Metacomputing

Or: go to www.scs.org, scroll to "Latest Conference Info", and click on "ASTC 2003 Author Kit".

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers or abstracts describing their work in these areas. Only previously unpublished work will be considered. The full papers will be peer-reviewed and, if accepted, will be published in the High Performance Computing 2003 Proceedings. The abstracts will be accepted based on their originality, significance and relevance to the symposium and will be allocated a limited amount of pages in the proceedings.

The goal of the Symposium is to encourage innovation in high performance computing and communication technologies and to stimulate the use of these technologies in key areas of computer simulation. It will promote the exchange of ideas and information between universities, industry, and national laboratories through the development of high performance computing and communication applications which, in turn, can provide solutions to current scientific and technical challenges.

The main tracks of the symposium will include, but will not be limited to the following topics of interest:

• Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
• Simulation of novel HPC Architectures and Networks
• High Performance Visualization and Virtual Environments
• Computational Science and Engineering Applications
  • Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
  • Computational Physics
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics
  • Computational Solid Mechanics
  • Predictions of Weather, Climate, and Global Changes
  • Computational Ocean and Earth Sciences
  • Combustion System Simulation
  • Biomedical Applications
• Modeling and Simulation of Transportation Systems
• Programming Environments and Tools for Parallel and Distributed Computing

For formatting guidelines and templates, click on Instruction and Forms.

All prospective authors must indicate whether their submission is to be considered a full paper or an abstract (minimum 500 words). Prospective authors of full papers are invited to submit their papers of up to 10 pages (including figures, tables, and references, single spaced, 10 pt, two-columns) describing their (previously unpublished) work and achievements related to HPC 2003. Please keep in the mind that the registration fee covers the printing of six (6) manuscript pages. According to ASTC policies, additional pages are charged at US $40 per page. All full papers submitted will be subject to a peer-reviewing process by program committee members. All accepted full papers will be published in the proceedings as regular papers, while all accepted abstracts will be published in the proceedings as short (4 printed two-column pages) papers. All papers must be submitted in PDF or PostScript format with the authors' complete addresses, phone number, fax number and e-mail for consideration.

It is expected that accepted papers will be presented at the conference by one of the authors.
