Submissions are now open for the ISC High Performance (ISC 2021) Research Paper Sessions. These sessions offer engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government the opportunity to share their latest research in the fields of HPC, networking, storage, machine learning and data analytics with the ISC audience. Submissions will be accepted through December 10, with abstracts indicating an intention to submit due on December 3.
The ISC research paper sessions will be held from Monday, June 28 through Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at the ISC conference and exhibition in Frankfurt. More than 3,700 international attendees and 160 exhibitors are expected.
All submitted research papers will undergo double-blind peer review by a minimum of four reviewers. The 2021 Research Papers Committee is headed by Dr. Bradford Chamberlain from HPE, USA and Dr. Ana Lucia Varbanescu of the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Each accepted paper will receive one complimentary day pass for the presenting author on the day of the talk. In the event of being physically unable to present at ISC 2021 due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, authors will be permitted to present their papers remotely.
Two best submissions will be shortlisted by the committee for the Hans Meuer Award. The authors of the winning paper will be honored with a cash prize of €3,000, a certificate for the award, and the opportunity to present their work in a special awards session at ISC 2021.
The ISC Research Papers Committee encourages the submission of papers reporting original work in theoretical, experimental, and industrial research and development. The ISC submission process will be divided into five tracks.

Important Dates: Abstract submission deadline — December 3, 2020; paper submission deadline — December 10, 2020; author rebuttals — February 10–17, 2021; notification of acceptance — March 2, 2021; camera-ready submission — April 25, 2021; research paper sessions — June 28–30, 2021; final presentation slides in PDF due — July 2, 2021
The publication of the papers is managed by Proceedings Chair Dr. Hatem Ltaief from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia and Proceedings Deputy Chair Piotr Luszczek of University of Tennessee Knoxville, USA.
All accepted research papers will be published free of any fee as part of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). The papers will be downloaded for free from Springer’s website for a limited time after ISC 2021. Authors may also opt to publish open access versions of their papers through Springer if desired – please refer to Springer’s website for further information and pricing.
The proceedings will be indexed in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI), part of Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science, EI Engineering Index (Compendex and Inspec databases), ACM Digital Library, DBLP, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus and Zentralblatt MATH.
