GENERAL INFORMATION

The 2005 Spring Simulation Multiconference (formerly Advanced Simulation
Technologies Conference) will feature High Performance Computing Symposium
(HPC) 2005, the 13th special symposium devoted to the impact of high
performance computing and communications on computer simulations.

Advances in networking, high-end computers, large data stores, and
middleware capabilities are ushering in a new era of high-performance
parallel and distributed simulations. However,along with these opportunities
come new challenges. The goal of the 2005 High Performance Computing
Symposium (HPC 2005) is to encourage innovation in high performance
computing and communication technologies and to stimulate the use of these
technologies in key areas of computer simulation. It will promote the
exchange of ideas and information between universities, industry, and
national laboratories through the development of high performance computing
and communication applications that, in turn, can provide solutions to
current scientific and technical challenges. Broad areas of interest
include:

o  High Performance Applications
o  Distributed and Grid Computing
o  Visualization and Data Management
o  Problem Solving Environments
o  Parallel Algorithms and Architectures


PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 6 pages, double
column) on topics related to the areas listed above. Submissions will be
evaluated on relevance, technical quality, and exposition. Papers must not
have appeared before (or be pending) in a journal or conference with
published proceedings, nor may they be under review or submitted to another
forum during the HPC 2005 review process. All accepted papers will be
published in the proceedings as regular papers. Papers should be submitted
electronically (in Word, PDF, or PostScript format) via the HPC 2005
conference web site at http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/hpc2005/ and should use
SCS format. Formatting instructions are available at
http://www.scs.org/confernc/formattingkit.pdf. It is expected that accepted
papers will be presented at the symposium by one of the authors.

PUBLICATION

The symposium proceedings will be published by the Society for Modeling and
Simulation International (SCS).

SPECIAL ISSUE

Selected papers from this symposium will be published in a special issue of
the SCS journal "SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and
Simulation International".
