MINISYMPOSIA

A minisymposium at PASC17 is a two-hour session of four presentations on a single topic of current importance that addresses research topics related to domain science, applied mathematics, computer science or software engineering in the context of high performance computing. 

The session should include speakers from more than one country, and be designed such that the speakers bring a range of different perspectives and views to the topic. Organizers are strongly encouraged to include women and/or members of other underrepresented groups in their proposals.
