                                 Call for papers:
                         13th IFIP International Conference on
                         Network and Parallel Computing 2016
                                    (NPC 2016)
                         October 28-29,Xi'an, China

High performance computing and Big Data are two main areas where 
NPC-2016 will provide a dynamic forum to explore, discuss and debate 
state-of-the-art technology issues and challenges. High-performance 
computers and big-data systems are tied inextricably to the broader 
computing ecosystem and its designs and market adoption. They also 
highlight information security needs and economic competitiveness in 
ways that distinguish them from most other scientific instruments. We 
strongly believe that the stake is high, and it is far beyond the 
boundries of nations and continents, and should strongly encourage a 
broad international participation.

We share the view that during the past decade the tools and cultures of 
high-performance computing and big data analytics are diverging to the 
detriment of both, and the international community should find a unified 
path which can best serve the need of a broad spectrum of major 
application areas. Unlike other tools, which are limited to particular 
scientific domains, computational modeling and data analytics are 
applicable to all areas of science and engineering, as they breathe life 
into the underlying mathematics of scientific models.

NPC 2016 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including 
but not limited to:

- In-Memory computing
- Applications of parallel and distributed computing.
- Systems, networks, and architectures for high end computing.
- Parallel and multi-core issues and opportunities.
- Big data intelligence.
- Virtualization of machines, networks, and storage.
- Programming languages and environments.
- I/O, file systems, and data management.
- Resource management, scheduling, and load-balancing.
- Performance modeling, simulation, and prediction.
- Fault tolerance, reliability and availability.
- NPC is in its 13th year and previous conferences have attracted high 
quality papers and wide international participation.

As in previous years, we will publish top papers from NPC 2016 in a 
special issue of the International Journal of Parallel Programming, and 
proceedings will be published as part of Springer LNCS. Additional 
details are on the NPC'2016 website above.

Camera-ready version due: August 7th, 2016
Poster submissions due:   July 31st, 2016
