GENERAL INFORMATION

The 2008 Spring Simulation Multiconference will feature the High
Performance Computing and Simulation Symposium (HPCS 2008), the 16th
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. Along with these new capabilities
come new challenges in computing and system modeling. The goal of HPCS 2008
is to encourage innovation in high performance computing and communication
technologies and to promote synergistic advances in modeling methodologies and
simulation. It will promote the exchange of ideas and information
between universities, industry, and national laboratories about new
developments in system modeling, high performance computing and communication,
and scientific computing and simulation. Topics of interest include

o High Performance/Large Scale Simulation
o High Performance Applications and Case Studies
o Distributed and Grid Computing
o Asynchronous numerical methods.
o Hybrid system modeling and simulation
o Discrete event system modeling methodologies
o Visualization and Data Management
o Modeling Methodologies and Environments
o Advanced Simulation Frameworks
o Problem Solving Environments
o Parallel Algorithms and Architectures
o High Performance Software Tools
o Tools and Environments for Coupling Parallel Codes
o Component Technologies for High Performance Computing


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 HPCS 2008
review process. All accepted papers will be published in the
proceedings as regular papers. Papers should be submitted
electronically at http://www.softconf.com/scs/HPCS08/. For more
information about submission, see:

Papers must use SCS format. Formatting instructions are available at
http://www.scs.org/confernc/formattingkit.pdf

At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the
symposium and must present the paper at the symposium.
