Call for papers of IEEE HPCC-2020

======================================================================================================= 

The 22nd IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications (IEEE HPCC-2020)

                                                                  Dec. 14--16, 2020， Fiji

                                                       http://cse.stfx.ca/~hpcc/2020/index.html

                   Selected papers, after further extensions and revisions, will be recommended to special issues.
The IEEE HPCC-2020 Conference was planned to be held in Fiji, December 14-16, 2020. Given the COVID-19 pandemic 
and associated travel restrictions, as the safety of people is of the highest priority, the conference will be held virtually 
on December 14-16, 2020. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore Digital Library after they are 
presented at the virtual conference. Information and instructions on how to prepare for a virtual presentation will be 
sent separately. Registration fees for the conference will be adjusted.

======================================================================================================= 

With the rapid growth in computing and communications technology, the past decade has witnessed a proliferation of powerful parallel and distributed systems 
and an ever increasing demand for practice of high performance computing and communications (HPCC). HPCC has moved into the mainstream of computing 
and has become a key technology in determining future research and development activities in many academic and industrial branches, especially when the 
solution of large and complex problems must cope with very tight timing schedules.

Among a series of highly successful International Conferences on High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC), the HPCC-2020 conference is 
the 22nd edition of a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government to address the resulting profound challenges and to present and 
discuss their new ideas, research results, applications and experience on all aspects of high performance computing and communications. IEEE HPCC-2020 is 
sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC).

The 2020 High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC-2020) will provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and 
practitioners to present state-of-art advances and innovations in theoretical foundations, systems, infrastructure, tools, testbeds, and applications for the HPCC, 
as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.
