Call For Research Papers: ISC 2018

ISC 2018 has issued their Call for Research Papers.

Submissions are now open for the ISC 2018 conference research paper sessions, which aim to provide first-class opportunities 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. Submissions will be accepted through Dec. 22, 2017. The research paper sessions will be held from Monday, June 25, through Wednesday, June 27, 2018.

The Research Papers Committee encourages the submission of high-quality papers reporting original work in theoretical, experimental, and industrial research and development. The ISC submission process will be divided into seven tracks this year.
