## General Information

The first JARA-HPC Symposium will take place in Aachen, Germany,
from October 04 – 05, 2016.

Current HPC systems consist of complex configurations with a huge
number of components, very likely heterogeneous, and typically with
not enough memory. The hard- and software configuration can change
dynamically due to fault recovery or power saving procedures. Deep
software hierarchies of large, complex software components are needed
to make efficient use of such systems. On the applications side, HPC
systems are increasingly used for data analytics and complex
workflows. Successful application development requires collaboration
between the domain scientists on one side, and computer science / HPC
experts on the other.

JARA-HPC is the High Performance Computing section of JARA, the Jülich
Aachen Research Alliance. JARA represents a cooperation between RWTH
Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich and is a model that is
unique in Germany, overcoming the mere juxtaposition of university and
non-university research and teaching. Scientists of JARA-HPC combine
the knowledge of massively parallel computing on supercomputers with
the respective expert competences from different research fields.

JARA-HPC organizes this symposium to motivate lively discussions on
the various aspects of the development of HPC applications among
experts. Participants will have the opportunity for an in-depth
exchange with colleagues from different research fields who also make
use of HPC systems in their scientific work.

Specifically, visualization methods, performance optimization and data
management topics will be discussed in connection with application
development in Engineering-, Materials- and Neuroscience.

## Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Efficient multi-physics coupling strategies in CFD
- Large materials simulation for energy applications
- Integration of HPC numerical libraries in ab-initio codes
- Provenance tracking for reproducibility of workflows and data in science
- Scalable I/O for massively parallel applications
- Scalable parallel visualization methods
- In-situ visualization solutions
- Scalable algorithms in Simulation Science
- Performance portability / porting applications

## Submission Instructions

JHPCS 2016 is now open to authors for submissions via easychair at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jhpcs2016

We are accepting submissions as extended abstracts with a minimum of 4
pages in Springer LNCS style, structured like the final paper. The
extended abstract should clearly specify the content that will be
added for the final paper in comments for the reviewers.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a presentation
at the JARA-HPC Symposium and will have the chance to extend the
initial submission to a full paper of 8 to 10 pages LNCS style to be
published in the LNCS Symposium proceedings after the symposium.

## Important Dates

- June 27, 2016     - extended abstract (4+ pages) due
- July 27, 2016     - author notification
- October 4-5, 2016 - symposium
- October 30, 2016  - camera-ready full paper due
