INTRODUCTION
------------

Cloud for High Performance Computing is a hot research topic in Computational Science. The first edition of the International Workshop on Cloud for High Performance Computing, organized as a session of the 11th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, will represent a great opportunity for the scientists to exchange ideas and progresses made in Virtualization techniques and Cloud Computing solutions for implementing High Performance Computing environments.

We invite you to submit a PAPER (from 10 to 16 pages) to be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes for Computer Science book series. We also accept POSTER submissions (from 3 to 4 pages), formatted according to the IEEE CPS layout.
For formatting instructions and for downloading the LNCS or the IEEE CPS templates, please visit the "Authors' Instructions" section of the ICCSA 2011 web site: http://www.iccsa.org/authors-instructions
