C A L L F O R P A R T I C I P A T I O N
Supercomputing '89 continues the tradition established at the '88 Conference
and will bring together supercomputing system researchers, designers, managers,
and computational scientists and engineers to report advances and experiences,
state needs, suggest future directions and exchange information. It will
include a technical program of invited and contributed papers, tutorials,
poster sessions, vendor and research exhibits, and product briefings and
demonstrations.
NOVEMBER 13-17, 1989
RENO/SPARKS CONVENTION CENTER
RENO, NEVADA
Sponsored by: ACM SIGARCH and Computer Society of the IEEE
In cooperation with: Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, NASA Ames Research Center, National
Center for Atmospheric Research, National Science Foundation, SIAM Activity
Group on Supercomputing, and the Supercomputing Research Center
Topics of Interest
Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:
computational science and engineering applications, parallel
and distributed processing, the impact of new technology on the
future of supercomputing, supercomputing environment, high
performance architectures, supercomputing systems evaluation,
systems software and languages, supercomputing management
issues, technical aspects of products, user experiences.
Papers Authors are invited to submit papers which report concrete
results and experiences. Papers reporting important negative
results are also encouraged. Referee's selection criteria will
include originality, clarity, and relevance.
Requirements
Papers must be original material not previously published.
Papers must be submitted without conditions; authors must
obtain any necessary approvals and/or clearances prior to
submission. Copyright release will be required. Authors of
accepted papers will be responsible for retyping corrected
papers on special forms to be provided and for preparing visual
material for their presentations using guidelines to be
provided. Camera-ready copy is due August 15, 1989.
Instructions
Submit five copies to the Program Chairperson by May 1, 1989.
Papers must be in English, typed double-spaced, and not exceed
25 pages (about 5,000 words). Papers must have: a title page
that lists the name, mailing and electronic address, and
telephone number for each author, an abstract, keywords and the
presentation media requirements. For multiple author papers,
identify the corresponding author and the presenting author.
Posters Authors who prefer an informal environment that fosters
interaction with the conference attendees are encouraged to
submit poster proposals. A book of abstracts of poster
presentations will be available at the conference.
Requirements
concise statement of the problem and the results should be a
conspicuous part of the display. Authors will be expected to
make themselves available to the audience for approximately two
hours, during which time they explain their work and discuss it
in depth. Authors of accepted posters will be responsible for
supplying a camera-ready abstract (not to exceed 100 words) by
August 15, 1989.
Instructions
Submit five copies of the poster proposal to the Program
Chairperson by June 1, 1989. The proposal should not exceed
five pages (about 1,000 words). Other aspects of the proposal
should conform to the instructions for submission of papers, as
listed above.
Vendor Exhibits An opportunity exists for vendors to exhibit their
supercomputing technology during three days of Supercomputing
'89. Interested parties should contact the Exhibits
Chairperson as soon as possible to arrange for floor space.
Research Exhibits
A limited amount of space will be set aside at Supercomputing
'89 to allow researchers to set up and exhibit or demonstrate
their work. Research exhibits will provide a joint
opportunity--an opportunity for the researcher to demonstrate
his or her work to a broader audience of potentially interested
users and an opportunity for the conference attendees to see a
broad range ofsupercomputing-oriented research which represents
some of the important technical directions of the future. The
possibility exists that, by special arrangement, research
exhibitors may be able to make use of equipment on display at
the vendor exhibit.)
Requirements
Research exhibitors should provide a description of their
exhibit/demonstration including: the type of audience
expected; required facilities; organizational affiliation of
exhibitors and acknowledgement of research sponsors;
acknowledgement of responsibility for (a) staffing the exhibit
during conference hours (unless the exhibit is totally static
and self-explanatory) and (b) transportation of the exhibit to
and from the conference, as well as all expenses associated
with setup and teardown.
Instructions
Submit a brief proposal to the Exhibits Chairperson as soon as
possible, but not later than March 31, 1989.
Tutorials The traditional half-day or full-day lecture style presentation
with view-graphs distributed to attendees.
Instructions
Submit proposal by February 28, 1989 to Tutorials
Chairperson.Include a succinct description of intended
audience, abstract and lecture outline with view-graphs (if not
yet available, state when will be available), and vita with
three references who are familiar with your lecturing ability.
Extended Tutorials
Provide an opportunity for a mini-course introduction to a
topic. The course begins before the conference with advanced
mailing of course material. The organizer will receive a list
of attendees and their biographies ahead of time and have an
opportunity to "tune" the course to their needs. This is
intended to be a long day of intense learning and
exploration.
Instructions
Submit proposal by February 28, 1989 to Tutorials Chairperson.
Include succinct course objectives, targeted participants
characteristics, references to be distributed, vita and related
teaching experience of organizer.
Workshops Workshops are of the "birds-of-a-feather" variety, where
registrants participate in an interactive workshop environment.
The organizer is a participant/facilitator rather than a
lecturer.
Instructions
Submit proposal by April 30, 1989 to Tutorials Chairperson.
Include a sampling of co-workers in their field, suggestions
for invitees, organizers, contributions/role in the field and
vita.
