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.

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.

Submission guidelines

Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages

in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column,

10pt). Double-bind review: the first page of the paper should contain

only the title and abstract; in the reference list, references to the

authors’ own work should appear as "omitted for blind review" entries.

Manuscript submission Publication

Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society in the same

volume of the main track. Authors of accepted papers are expected to

register and present their papers at the Conference. Conference

proceedings will be indexed, among others, by IEEE explore, DBLP,

Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI Web of Knowledge.

Moreover, organizers of the HPCMS session are planning a Special Issue of an important international ISI Journal, based on distinguished papers that will be accepted for the session.

Important Dates

Paper submission: 31st Aug 2013

Acceptance notification: 7th Oct 2013

Camera ready due: 31st Oct 2013

HPCMS Session and Conference: 12th - 14th Feb 2014
