[Call For Papers]
-----------------
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.

The HPCC-2010 conference is the 12th edition of the highly successful International Conference on High Performance and Communications (HPCC). It provides 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-10 is sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing.

HPCC-10 is the next event in a series of highly successful International Conferences on High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC), previously held as HPCC-09 (Seoul, Korea, June 2009), HPCC-08 (DaLian, China, September 2008), HPCC-07 (Houston, USA, September 2007), HPCC-06 (Munich, Germany, September 2006), HPCC-05 (Naples, Italy, September 2005), HPCN-04 (Tokyo, Japan, December 2004), PACT-SHPSEC03 (New Orleans, USA, September 2003), PACT-SHPSEC02 (Charlottesville, USA, September 2002), HPCA-01 (Nova Scotia, Canada, November 2001), HPNCA-00(Delft, The Netherlands, May 2000), HPNCA-99 (Amsterdam, The Netherlands, April 1999). HPCC 2010 will be held in Melbourne, Australia. Since 2002, Melbourne has been consistently ranked in the top three 'World's Most Livable Cities' by The Economist.

[Submission Guidelines]
-----------------------
Submissions must include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 15 pages, including tables and figures. All paper submissions must represent original and unpublished work. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work. Prepare your paper with free styles not more than 15 pages in PDF file. Submit your paper(s) at the HPCC-10 submission site: http://cse.stfx.ca/~hpcc10/sub/
Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS Press (indexed by EI). Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS and EI after the conference.
Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be published in special issues of the following international journals: International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications (SAGE, indexed by SCI and EI), International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking (Inderscience). More journals will be announced soon.
