 ***************************************************************************
 ***************************************************************************
 High Performance Computing and Big Data are two main areas where NPC 
 2019 will provide a dynamic forum to explore, discuss and debate 
 state-of-the-art technology issues and challenges. Authors are invited 
 to submit papers on all aspects of high-performance computing and big 
 data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 ***************************************************************************
 *Parallel and distributed applications and algorithms
 --Parallel and distributed issues and opportunities on artificial 
 intelligence application.
 --Parallel algorithms for computational and data-enabled scientific, 
 engineering, biological and medical applications.
 --Parallel algorithms for accelerators, neuromorphic architectures, and 
 other emerging architectures.
 *Parallel and distributed architectures and systems
 --Emerging architectures and systems at all scales, from embedded to 
 cloud.
 --Systems for enabling parallelism at an extreme scale.
 --Power-efficient and green computing systems.
 --Neuromorphic architectures and cognitive computing accelerators.
 --Heterogeneous multicore architectures and accelerators.
 --In-Memory and near-data computing.
 --Network and interconnect architectures.
 --Storage systems in novel big data architectures.
 *Parallel and distributed software environments and tools
 --Programming models and compilation for existing and emerging 
 platforms.
 --Dataflow programming models, frameworks, languages and environments 
 for data-enabled platforms.
 --Virtualization of machines, networks, and storage.
 --I/O, file systems, and data management.
 --Resource management, scheduling, and load balancing.
 ***************************************************************************
 Authors should submit the full version of the paper May 15, 2019, AOE. 
 The full version should be a PDF file following the submission 
 guidelines that will be made available at the submission website. Papers 
 should be submitted for blind review. New-idea papers as well as papers 
 that significantly advance established areas are strongly encouraged. 
 Submission issues should be directed to program chairs, Pradip Bose and 
 Quan Chen. We will publish top papers from NPC 2019 in a special issue 
 of the International Journal of Parallel Programming (IJPP), and the 
 proceedings will be published as part of Springer LNCS.

 ***************************************************************************
 *Important Dates:
 --Paper Submissions Due: May 15, 2019, AOE * (EXTENDED To May 22, 2019, 
 AOE)
 --Results Notification: July 1, 2019 *
 --Camera-ready Version: July 15, 2019 *
