The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) is delighted to launch a Call for Abstracts for its next conference (PASC16) cosponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The Conference will be held from June 8 to 10, 2016 at the SwissTech Convention Center, located on the campus of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.
The PASC Conference is a platform for interdisciplinary research across the areas of computational science, high-performance computing, and various domain sciences: Climate and Weather, Computer Science & Mathematics, Emerging Domains, Engineering, Life Sciences, Materials, Physics, and Solid Earth. PASC16 builds on a successful history with 350 international attendees in 2015. This year PASC continues to expand its program and welcomes your participation in a substantially larger event. The conference seeks to engage participants from academia, research labs and industry to address important issues in HPC and computational science. The PASC16 Conference is inviting researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange of expertise. The conference is an opportunity for researchers in branches of science that require computer modelling and high-performance simulations to discuss computational techniques and technologies.
The conference will offer five plenary lectures and one public lecture, complemented by minisymposia, contributed talks and poster sessions in its eight different scientific domains. It will also present for the first time a session dedicated to papers selected for publication in the ACM Digital Library (a call for papers will be distributed separately).
