AIMS & SCOPE
Building on the success of the previous editions of the CARLA Conference (and former HPCLATAM and CLCAR Conferences), the tenth edition will be organized by Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Universidad de la República (Uruguay).
The main goal of CARLA is to provide a forum fostering the growth of the HPC community in Latin America, through the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in HPC. CARLA will feature invited talks from academy and industry, short‐ and full‐paper sessions presenting mature work and new ideas in research and industrial applications.
Suggested topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Distributed Systems, Parallel Algorithms and Concurrency; GPU and MIC Computing; Mobile, Grid & Cloud Computing; Big data, Data Management & Visualization; Scientific Computing & Computing Applications; Architecture, Infrastructure and HPC Data Center; HPC Computing Education and Outreach; Industrial Solutions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Authors are invited to submit full and short papers written in English, according to the Springer LNCS/CCIS style.
Papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. Submissions will be handled electronically using an online system. All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by three experts and returned to the author(s). The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.

Regular full-length papers
Full papers must not exceed 15 pages, including name, affiliation and address of the author(s), figures, tables, references, and an abstract of no more than 200 words. All full paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least two experts and returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of accepted papers. Full papers accepted for the program will appear in the CARLA 2017 proceedings.
