The International Meeting on High­ Performance Computing for Computational Science (VECPAR) is the premier venue for presenting and discussing the latest research and practice in high­ end computer modelling and complex systems. VECPAR encourages submission of research contributions from academia, research laboratories and industry to address pressing issues in computational science resulting from applications of interest to society and hardware innovations.

VECPAR 18, the 13th edition of the VECPAR series of conferences is organised by the São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil, and by the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCAR), Brazil.

Contributions are solicited in all areas of computational science and engineering (CS&E), including (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Large­ scale Simulations in CS&E
- Parallel and Distributed Computing
- Parallel Algorithms
- Numerical Algorithms on Multicore, GPUs and Emerging Architectures
- Symbolic algorithms on Multicore, GPUs and Emerging Architectures
- Support Tools and Environments
- Scheduling and Load Balancing
- Performance Analysis, Evaluation and Tuning
- Parallel and high performance machine learning algorithms and applications

Submissions should be made through EasyChair, at:

https://easychair.org/my/conference.cgi?conf=vecpar2018

Submitted papers must be formatted according to the rules of the Springer

Series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS):

http://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

Please note that papers must not exceed 14 pages in length, using the LNCS format.

Papers will be evaluated based on relevance, significance, originality, correctness and clarity.

Printed versions of the invited talks and accepted papers will be published by Springer in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

Authors of selected papers of the conference will be invited to submit extended versions which can be published upon evaluation in a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice & Experience.
