The International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) is an IEEE-recognized global conference and exhibition for high performance computing, networking and storage.

ISC's Research Paper Sessions provide first class open forums for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present and discuss issues, trends and results that will shape the future of high performance computing.

For these sessions, we encourage submission of high-quality papers reporting original work in theoretical, experimental and industrial research and development in the following areas:

Architectures
- Multicore/manycore systems
- Heterogeneous systems
- Network technology
- Programming models

Storage & Data
- File systems & tape libraries
- Data intensive applications
- Databases

Algorithms & Analysis
- Scalability on future architectures
- Performance evaluation & tuning

Software Engineering in HPC
- Application of methods
- Surveys

Large Scale Simulations
- Coupled simulations
- Industrial simulations
- Data visualization

Supercomputing Facility
- Batch job management
- Job mix & system utilization
- Monitoring & administration tools

Future Trends
- Exascale HPC
- HPC in the Cloud

Scalable Applications: 50k+
- ISC research thrust!

Submissions on other innovative aspects of high performance computing are also welcome.

Full papers should be submitted via the EasyChair conference system by Sunday, January 22, 2012. We only accept submissions in PDF format which are correctly formatted using the Springer LaTeX style and do not exceed 8 pages. Incorrectly formatted papers will be excluded from the reviewing process. Papers will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers and will be evaluated based on their novelty, fundamental insights and potential for long-term contribution. For details on the author guidelines, please refer to Springer’s website. Please use Springer's two-column LaTeX macro package and choose the formatting option “twocolumn”.

By submitting a paper, you agree to present the paper at ISC'12 in Hamburg, Germany; presenters need to be registered ISC'12 participants.
