Overview

Building on the great success of the first two editions of the HPC symposium in 2008 and 2009, this year's conference aims to bring together researchers, developers, and users of HPC to discuss new ideas, experiences, and problems. HPC2010 will be part of the 39th Argentine Conference of Informatics (39 JAIIO), the international conference of the Argentine Society for Informatics (SADIO), to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on August 2010. The use and development of High-Performance Computing (HPC) in Latin America is steadily growing. New challenges come from the new capabilities provided by clusters, grids, and distributed systems for HPC, promoting research and innovation in this area. The main goal of HPC2010 is to provide a regional forum fostering the growth of the HPC community in Latin America through the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in HPC. The symposium will feature invited talks from academy and industry, tutorials, short- and full-paper sessions presenting both mature work and new ideas in research and industrial applications.

Instructions for Authors

Submissions of short- and full-papers must be written in English, and prepared according to Springer's LNCS style (guidelines are available at: https://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. All contributions should be submitted in Ghostview-readable Postscript or PDF formats. Submissions will be handled electronically. Further detaills will be available soon. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the symposium. At least one author of each accepted paper must be duly registered for the symposium in order for the paper to be scheduled in the papers session and to appear in the Symposium and 39 JAIIO proceedings.

Symposia at 39Jaiio use SADIO's conference management system to handle submissions. To upload your contribution you first need to register and sign in.

Regular Full-Length Papers

Full papers must not exceed 16 pages, including name, affiliation and address of the author(s), figures, tables, and references, and an abstract of no more than 200 words. All full paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least two experts and returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of accepted papers. Full papers accepted for the program will appear in the proceedings.

Short Papers/Extended Abstracts

Authors are invited to submit short papers (also called Extended Abstracts) for results that are too late to be submitted as regular full-length papers. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages. Short papers accepted for the program will appear in the proceedings (in short form - not expanded to full papers - and with Extended Abstract in the title) and be presented orally during the symposium (in suitably shorter speaking slots) as a regular part of the program.
