CALL FOR PAPERS

We have the great pleasure to invite you to participate in the High
Performance Modeling and Simulation 2015 track, that will be held in the
framework of the 29th European Conference on Modelling and Simulation (ECMS
2015) in May 26th - 29th, 2015, Varna, Bulgaria. All ECMS papers are indexed
by SCOPUS, DBLP,  ISI, INSPEC and DOI.

SCOPE

Modeling and simulation are widely considered essential tools in many areas
of science and engineering for the prediction and analysis of complex
systems and natural phenomena. They often require a significant amount of
computational resources with data sets typically scattered across different
geographical locations.

Furthermore, the development of such complex modelling and simulation
environments usually requires collaborative efforts from researchers with
different domain knowledge and expertise, possibly at different locations.
High performance computing is arguably required to deal with the behaviour
and complexity of such large-scale systems.

ORGANIZATION AND TOPICS

HiPMoS 2015 is organized as a multi-session track and is composed of the
following events:

** Special Session on "Modelling and Simulation of Data Intensive Systems
(HiPMoS -DIS)"**

In today's data intensive computing, the application developers need
abstract simulation models to expose expected hardware features (e.g., SIMD,
lightweight cores, or specialized functional units) and performance targets
in terms of hierarchical parallelism, scale, data movement, computational
intensity, bandwidths, latencies, and storage capacities of possible data
intensive applications and systems, as well as non-performance objectives
such as power and resilience. System architects need
architecture-independent models of important applications that they can use
to identify, understand, and evaluate application behavior on these proposed
architectures. These abstractions must exist across the modeling,
simulation, and measurement infrastructures.

Modeling and simulation techniques must provide predictive and optimization
capabilities at runtime. This will require the development of rapid
evaluation techniques as well as interfaces for incorporating models into
the layers within the software stack. In addition to dynamic model creation,
models must be actionable. That is, the models must enable appropriate
levels of the software stack to react to the instantaneous state of the
system, both hardware and software, and provide the necessary information
that can be used to guide and optimize system operation.

Topics of interest for this session include but are not limited to the
following: 

- Infrastructures and middleware as enablers for modelling and simulation of
data intensive systems

- Evaluation of programming models supporting data intensive applications

- Runtime systems supporting modelling of data intensive applications

- Productivity tools for data intensive applications

- Development and generation of machine and application abstractions for
data intensive computing

- Dynamic and actionable modeling of data intensive systems

- Standards, integration and interoperability of modelling and simulation
methodologies and tools for data intensive computing

** Special Session on "Probability and statistical methods for modelling and
simulation of high performance information systems (HiPMoS- ProbStat)" **

The development trends of modern information technologies lead to the
constant growth of complexity of information systems and call for their high
performance. Stochastic nature of flows that information systems need to
serve and presence of stochastic internal processes that influence their
behavior justifies the use of probabilistic modeling and simulation when one
needs to analyze their performance. Despite increasing complexity obvious
requirement for system's high performance which ensures, for example, low
response times and accuracy, remains unchanged and it calls for advanced
methods of modeling and simulation. Such methods must not be limited to
those which ensure fast computations but include also those which provide
new suitable (from the point of view of high performance) approaches for
representation and analysis of system's component and system as a whole.

The topics of this session are focused on but not limited to the following:

- Queuing Systems Modelling and Simulation

- Performance Modelling and Analysis of Information and Telecommunication
Networks

- Information Flows Modeling and Analysis

- Overload and Flow Control Modelling and Simulations

- Assessment of efficiency, reliability and stability (tolerance) of high
performance information systems

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

********************************************************

Authors are invited to submit research and application papers following the
IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style available at the main
conference web page
(http://www.scs-europe.net/conf/ecms2015/authorkit.html).

We solicit the submission of academic conference papers (7 pages)
representing original, previously unpublished work. Submitted papers will be
carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness,
and clarity of exposition. Papers should be prepared as PDF files and
submitted electronically to the ECMS 2015 online submission system.

Submission of the paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least
one of the authors must register and present the paper at the conference.
Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the
final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. HiPMoS
2015 papers must be submitted for the selected HiPMoS session.

The authors must select the following options for BOTH SUBMISSION and
REGISTRATION:

DIS for "Modelling and Simulation of Data Intensive Systems" special session

PROBSTAT for "Probability and statistical methods for modelling and
simulation of high performance information systems " special session.
