SUPERCOMPUTING SYMPOSIUM '89 This is the second announcment of SUPERCOMPUTING SYMPOSIUM '89, Canada's only major conference on supercomputing. In its third year it has taken on a very international flavour. Papers have already been received from France, Great Britain, Australia and the United States as well as from across Canada. The conference's three major interest streams are Applications, Communications and Systems (Hardware and Software). The variety of presentations will guarantee that each attendee will have no moments of boredom at any time during the conference. In addition several major vendors will be represented in the Exhibition area. The plenery speakers have been selected. They are Dr. George Connell (President, University of Toronto), Bob Ewald (Executive Vice-President for Software, Cray Research) and Dick Sherman (President, Supercomputing Consortia). The subjects of their presentations have not yet been announced. However, it is expected that Dr. Connell will discuss the state of high performance computing in the Ontario university environement. Mr. Ewald will probably focus on the issue of system and application software in a supercomputing environment. Mr. Sherman is expected to be concerned with the general subject of high performance computing in the decade of the 90s. The Call for Papers follows. Registration and other information may be obtained from the Ontario Centre for Large Scale Computation at 416-978-8256. - - - - - - - - - - -cut here- - - - - - - - - - - - - CALL FOR PAPERS SUPERCOMPUTING SYMPOSIUM '89 Chestnut Park Hotel, 108 Chestnut Street, Toronto, Ontario, June 19-21, 1989 "Supercomputing in the '90s" ____________________________ Sponsored by the Ontario Centre for Large Scale Computation and the University of Toronto The Canadian Supercomputing Symposium is devoted to the promotion of supercomputing in Canada. The theme for this year's symposium is "Supercomputing in the '90s". The Symposium will review the current state of supercomputing in Canada and explore needs and trends for the coming decade. Since its inception at the University of Calgary in 1987, the Canadian Supercomputing Symposium has become an annual event of national significance to supercomputing in Canada. The Ontario Centre for Large Scale Computation (OCLSC) and the University of Toronto are pleased to be hosts of Supercomputing Symposium '89 and we extend an invitation to all potential academic, industrial and government participants, both inside and outside Canada. Authors are invited to submit papers on their current activities. Papers are not restricted to any given topic, field or area of interest provided that submissions are relevant to the general nature of the Symposium. Topics of interest may include (but are not restricted to) the following: * Supercomputing algorithms * Computational science * Distributed applications * Scientific visualization * Emerging supercomputer hardware and software standards * Communications * User education and support * Productive supercomputing --- tools and techniques * Federal/Provincial support of research and development in Canada * The Federal Networks of Centres of Excellence Program * Technology transfer between academia and industry * Canadian supercomputing initiatives * National and regional networking initiatives and activities Authors may also present recent scientific results in supercomputer-based computational science in any of the following (or other) areas: * Applied Mathematics * Astronomy and Astrophysics * Biology * Chemistry * Computer Science * Engineering * Environmental Science * Finance * Geography * Geophysics * Graphics * Hydrology * Industrial Technology * Medicine * Meteorology * Physics * Pollution * Sociology * Zoology Interested parties are encouraged to contact the Program Chairman to discuss the suitability of potential submissions. Guidelines for Submissions The Symposium is multi-disciplinary in nature. Authors presenting scientific results should orient their submissions towards a technical lay audience. Appropriate emphasis should be placed on those aspects of the work which cross disciplinary boundaries. Particular emphasis on supercomputing methods and techniques would be desirable. To facilitate preparation of the symposium program authors should notify the program chairman by April 30, 1989 of their intention to submit a paper. To be accepted, authors submitting papers for presentation at the Symposium must register for the conference (advance fee: $250, students: $150). To ensure that author's presentations are scheduled in the final symposium program, camera-ready final papers should be submitted to the Program Chairman by June 1, 1989. Papers must include an abstract of approximately 150 words. The organizing committee requests that four (4) copies be provided with each submission. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
