HiPC 2019 Call For Papers

HiPC 2019 will be the 26th edition of the IEEE International Conference on
High Performance Computing, Data, Analytics and Data Science. HiPC serves
as a forum to present current work by researchers from around the world as
well as highlight activities in Asia in the areas of high performance
computing and data science. The meeting focuses on all aspects of high
performance computing systems, and data science and analytics, and their
scientific, engineering, and commercial applications.

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research manuscripts
that demonstrate current research in all areas of high performance
computing, and data science and analytics, covering all traditional areas
and emerging topics including from machine learning, big data analytics and
blockchain.  Each submission should be submitted to one of the tracks
listed under the two broad themes of High Performance Computing and Data
Science.

High Performance Computing tracks:

Algorithms: This track invites papers that describe original research on
developing new parallel and distributed computing algorithms, and related
advances. Examples of topics that are of interest include (but not limited
to):
* New parallel and distributed algorithms and design techniques;
* Advances in enhancing algorithmic properties or providing guarantees
(e.g., fault tolerance, resilience, concurrency, data locality,
communication-avoiding);
* Classical and emerging computation models (e.g., parallel/distributed
models, quantum computing, neuromorphic and other bioinspired models);
* Provably efficient parallel and distributed algorithms for advanced
scientific computing and irregular applications (e.g., numerical linear
algebra, graph algorithms, computational biology); and

libraries for CPU/GPU, multi-GPU clusters, and other accelerator platforms);

Data Science tracks:

Scalable Algorithms and Analytics: This track invites papers that describe
original research on developing scalable algorithms for data analysis at
scale, and related advances. Examples of topics of interest include (but
not limited to):

different data sources and settings (e.g., graphs, social networks,
sequences, data streams);

data (e.g., streaming, sublinear data structures, summarization,
compressive analytics);
* Scalable algorithms that are designed to address requirements in
different data-driven application domains (e.g., life sciences, business,
agriculture); and
* Scalable algorithms that ensure the transparency and fairness of the
analysis.

Manuscript Guidelines

Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not
exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font
on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables,
and references.  See IEEE style templates at this page for details.

Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file.
Manuscripts must be received by the published paper submission deadline.
All manuscripts will be reviewed by the Program Committee and evaluated on
originality, relevance of the problem to the conference theme, technical
strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, and organization and
clarity of presentation of the paper. Authors are highly encouraged to list
the key contributions of their paper. This should be in a separate
paragraph in the introduction to the paper. Please note that the review
process is “single-blind” (i.e., authors can list their names on the
paper). This year we are introducing a two-phase review process, in which
the first round of reviews will be made available to the authors for a
brief rebuttal. Based on the reviews and the rebuttal, an initial decision
will be issued. Papers will be either accepted or rejected or recommended
for a second round. Authors of papers recommended for a second round will
be allowed to revise the paper to address the comments and suggestions made
by the program committee. The revisions will undergo a second round of
review before the final notification.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not
currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not
following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further
action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to
the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the
conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length
limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors
may contact the Program Chairs of the respective tracks at their contact
email addresses below for further information or clarification.
Notification of review decisions will be emailed by September 30, 2019.
Camera-ready papers are due by October 14, 2019. A published proceedings
will be available at the conference.

At least one author of each paper must be registered for the conference in
order for the paper to be published in the proceedings. Presentation of an
accepted paper at the conference is a requirement of publication. Any paper
that is not presented at the conference will not be included in IEEE Xplore.
