********************************************************************
SuperCompCloud 2020: 2nd Workshop on Interoperability of Supercomputing 
and Cloud Technologies
https://sites.google.com/view/supercompcloud

Held in conjunction with ISC High Performance 2020 (https://www.isc-hpc.com)
June 25, 2020
Frankfurt, Germany
********************************************************************

This workshop aims at bringing together a group of experts and 
practitioners from academia, national laboratories, and industry to 
discuss technologies, use cases and best practices in order to set a 
vision and direction for leveraging high performance, extreme-scale 
computing and on-demand cloud ecosystems. Topics of interest include 
tools and technologies enabling scientists for adopting scientific 
applications to cloud interfaces, interoperability of HPC and cloud 
resource management and scheduling systems, cloud and HPC storage 
convergence to allow a high degree of flexibility for users and 
community platform developers, continuous integration/deployment 
approaches, reproducibility of scientific workflows in distributed 
environment, and best practices for enabling X-as-a-Service model at 
scale while maintaining a range of security constraints.

This workshop will cover topics related to interoperability of 
supercomputing and cloud computing, networking and storage technologies 
that are being leveraged by use cases and research infrastructure 
providers with a goal to improve productivity and reproducibility of 
extreme-scale scientific workflows.

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------

Extended Abstract Submission Deadline: March 20, 2020
Author Notification: April 14, 2020
Full Paper Conference-ready Deadline: June 18. 2020
Workshop Date: June 25, 2020
Full Paper Camera-ready Deadline: July 22, 2020

EXTENDED ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS
-----------------

Submissions will be done through EasyChair: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=supercompcloud2

All submissions must be in English and should follow the LNCS style 
(single column format) using either the LaTeX document class or Word 
template [1]. Incorrectly formatted papers will be excluded from the 
reviewing process. Submission must be made as a single PDF file which 
includes all figures and references. Papers should not be submitted in 
parallel to any other conference or journal.

The Workshop will accept up to 5 pages extended abstract by the Extended 
Abstract Submission Deadline. Authors of selected abstracts, after a 
peer-reviewed process, will be invited to submit a full paper (12 pages 
maximum in LNCS format, including figures and references) before the 
workshop and to present their work on June 25, 2020. A Camera-ready 
Deadline will allow to slightly adjust their contributions based on the 
feedback given during the workshop. Full papers will be published in the 
ISC 2020 workshop proceedings with Springer. The proceedings will appear 
as post-conference workshop proceedings.  Please refer to ISC Workshop 
https://www.isc-hpc.com/workshops-2020.html for further details.
