               CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

=============================================================
International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC)
=============================================================

December 27-30, 1995
Goa, India

In cooperation with:
IEEE Computer Society 
Technical Committee on Parallel Processing and
Technical Committee on Computer Architecture 
Supercomputer Education and Research Centre, India
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research(TIFR), India

With support from:
Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, India

This is the second international meeting on high performance computing 
to be organized in India and it follows the first one  that was organized 
as a workshop on parallel processing.  It will serve as a forum to present 
current work by researchers from around the world as well as highlight 
activities in India in the high performance computing area.

The meeting will emphasize both design and analysis of high performance 
computing systems and their scientific and engineering and commercial 
applications.  In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper 
presentations, the conference will offer invited presentations, tutorials,
vendor presentations, and  exhibits.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that demonstrate current research 
in all areas of high performance computing including design and analysis 
of parallel and distributed systems and their applications in scientific and 
engineering and commercial areas. Original unpublished work as well as 
summaries of current work will be considered. Topics of interest include 
but are not limited to:

*       Parallel Algorithms              *    Scientific Computation
*       Parallel Architectures           *    Visualization
*       Parallel Languages & Compilers   *    Network Based Computing
*       Distributed Systems              *    Signal & Image Processing Systems
*       Programming Environments         *    Supercomputing Applications

To submit a paper, send five copies of  a summary of your work (not to 
exceed ten double spaced pages including figures, tables, and references) 
to the Program Chair. Mail/Fax submissions will be considered; however, 
electronic form of submission (post script format) is preferred.  In 
addition to the summary, please include a cover page listing your postal 
address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers, and the name and 
address of the person who will present the work, if accepted.  All 
manuscripts will be reviewed. To be considered, the summary  and the 
cover page must be received by  April  1, 1995. Notification of accept/reject 
decisions will be mailed by June 1, 1995. Camera-ready papers are due 
August 1, 1995. Proceedings will be available at the meeting.

Selected papers will appear in a special issue of Journal of Parallel 
and Distributed Computing(JPDC). Selected papers will also be considered 
for possible publication in a special issue of the IEEE Parallel and 
Distributed Technology.

Submissions to the meeting should be made with the implicit understanding that 
if the manuscript is accepted, the author(s) will participate in the meeting 
or make arrangements to present their work at the meeting.
