Paper Submission
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 (FPGAs, GPGPUs etc.)
-Network technology

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

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

Future Trends
-Exascale HPC
-HPC in the Cloud

Large Scale Simulations
-Coupled simulations
-Industrial simulations

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

Full papers should be submitted via the EasyChair conference system by January 9, 2011. 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. By submitting a paper, you agree to present the paper at ISC’11 in Hamburg, Germany; presenters need to be registered ISC’11 participants.

Proceedings
A maximum of 24 accepted papers will be published in a special edition of “Computer Science – Research and Development”, Springer Verlag, Germany, which will be available at ISC’11 from June 20 on.

For details on the author guidelines, please refer to Springer’s website. Please use Springer's two-column LaTeX style so that the page limitation of eight pages can be checked (see "Instructions for Authors" ) "Text" ) "Text Formatting" on Springer's website for details).
