ISC High Performance: May 12 - May 16, 2024 Hamburg, Germany: CALL FOR
RESEARCH PAPERS

The research papers sessions provide great opportunities for engineers and
scientists from academia, industry, and government to come together and
exchange ideas on significant topics, trends, and discoveries that shape
the future of high performance computing (HPC), machine learning, data
analytics, and quantum computing.

Submitted research papers will be reviewed by the ISC 2024 Research Papers
Committee, which is headed by Jeff Hammond, NVIDIA, Finland as chair and
Amanda Randles, Duke University, USA as deputy chair.

NEW at ISC 2024, accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion as fully
open access in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

AREAS OF INTEREST

The Research Papers Committee encourages the submission of high quality
papers reporting original work in theoretical, experimental, and industrial
research & development. The ISC submission process will be divided into six
tracks this year, as follows:
- System Architecture & Hardware Components
- Programming Environments & System Software
- Algorithms, Methods & Tuning
- Applications & Use Cases
- Machine Learning & AI
- Quantum Computing

Note: Submissions on other innovative aspects of high performance computing
are also welcome. You will be asked to pick a primary and a secondary track
from the five above for your submission.

SUBMISSION & REVIEW PROCESS

Submission (December 1, 2023 23:59 AoE)
Submission Guidelines:
● Paper submissions must be formatted using PDF format, up to 10 pages. Use
the Double-column text using the single-spaced 10-point font on 8.5×11-inch
pages. IEEE strongly encourages use of the conference manuscript templates
provided on their website:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
● Papers must be suitable for double-blind review (see ISC High Performance
Double-Blind Review Guidelines).
● Papers submitted for the Research Papers track should not have been
previously published or under review for a different venue.
Note that a membership on a program committee does not inherently create a
conflict of interest to submit a paper.

Review Process
● Each paper is expected to receive a minimum of 3-4 reviews.
● Double-blind peer-review will be used.
● Papers will be evaluated based on novelty, fundamental insights, clarity
of presentation, and potential for long-term impact.
The Research Paper Committee reserves the right to reject incorrectly
formatted papers.

Rebuttal phase (January 27-31, 2024)
● Initial reviewer comments will be made available to authors.
● Authors can respond to clarify misunderstandings and answer questions.
● Rebuttals will be submitted in written format and will have a tight
deadline.
● Authors will receive additional instructions via email.

Final decision (February 16, 2024)
● All reviews and rebuttals will be considered by the paper’s track
committee.
● Live reviewer discussions will occur during the research paper committee
meeting.
● A consensus-driven approach will be used to select the strongest papers.
● Notification of the papers’ outcomes will be sent to authors after the
program committee’s meeting.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
● ISC 2024 is planned as an in-person conference from May 12 to May 16,
2024, in Hamburg, Germany. By submitting a research paper, the submitter
agrees that one of the authors of the paper will present the work at ISC
2024 in Hamburg, Germany. For unforeseen circumstances that would prevent
the chosen speaker from attending the event, the submitter/speaker should
contact ISC organizers and the research paper chair as soon as possible to
discuss different options.
● Every paper presenter needs to submit a short, pre-recorded summary video
of the paper prior to the conference.
● Presentation slides will be available within the event platform for
registered attendees only.
● Paper presenters need to be registered ISC 2024 participants. For
accepted papers, one author is eligible for a complimentary conference
participation pass.
● Travel, accommodation, registration fees for other authors, and other
such expenses will not be covered by the ISC organizers.
