The rapid development of computing and communications technology has resulted in a great attention in high performance and smart computing (HPSC) in recent years. Both computing industry and research domain have a great demand of the high performance smart computing. HPSC has become one of the mainstreams of computing. As a key technology, smart computing is playing an important role in determining future research and development activities in many academic and industrial branches. High performance is another significant aspect when solving large and complex problems under a tight timing constraint.

The objective of IEEE HPSC 2016 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange their new ideas, novel results, work in progress and experience on all aspects of smart computing and cloud computing. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

High performance smart computing
High performance distributed computing
Smart digital forensics
Smart Big data security, Database security
Smart social engineering, insider threats, advance spear phishing
Cyber threat intelligence
Security and fault tolerance for embedded or ubiquitous systems
