Its scope encompasses all platforms, from Internet of Things (IoT) and Robotics to HPC systems, Clouds, Quantum, and Neuro-Computing. The conference addresses all aspects of parallel computing, including applications, hardware and software technologies, and languages and development environments. TOPIC AREAS Section 1: Architectures New concepts for parallel computing architectures for all levels of parallelism, including: Multicore and manycore systems Heterogeneous systems Accelerators, including GPUs and FPGAs High-performance systems, including peta- and exascale Architectures for handling large data sets and data intensive computing, including high speed storage systems Interconnection networks Clouds for HPC Performance evaluation Energy saving designs IoT and mobile devices Brain-inspired systems, including neurocomputing Quantum computers Specialised architectures for high-performance machine learning and deep learning. Section 2: Software Software for parallel computing platforms, including Operating systems and middleware for all types of parallel architectures Software engineering methodologies, and methods and tools for developing and maintaining parallel software Parallel programming languages, compilers, libraries, and environments Testing and debugging techniques and tools Best practices of parallel computing on multicore, manycore, and stream processors Design patterns for parallel computing. Section 3: Algorithms Design, analysis, and implementation of parallel algorithms for all application areas, emphasising the parallel computing aspects and focusing on issues such as: Scalability and speedup Efficient utilization of the memory hierarchy Communication and synchronization Data management Energy awareness. Section 4: Applications The application of parallel computing to solve all types of business, industrial, scientific, and engineering problems using high-performance computing technologies, in particular: Astronomy and space Health science and care Geo- and environmental sciences Computational chemistry Material science Bioinformatics Exploration and optimal use of resources Manufacturing Data intensive (big data) analytics and applications Economic and financial modelling Learning systems (deep learning) and AI Robotics Automonous transport systems, including self driving vehicles Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR). CONTRIBUTIONS Papers: The conference language is English. Extended abstracts of ca. two pages should be submitted in electronic form by 28 February 2019. Proposals are to be submitted in .pdf format. Abstracts should clearly describe the contents of the proposed paper. The relevance and originality of the contribution must be described and the most important references included. At most five relevant keywords must be supplied. Also indicate the preferred topic area (section 1, 2, 3 or 4) from the list given above. Please check the conference website http://www.parco.org for details on how to submit proposals. This information will be published as soon as the conference management tool has been set up. Symposia: Proposals for organising a symposium are solicited. Such proposals should give: The proposed title of the symposium The name and affiliation(s) of the organiser(s) A short outline of the contents The planned number of papers (preferably in the range from 3 to 10). The organisers of symposia publish their respective calls for contributions, determine submission dates and are responsible for the refereeing and acceptance of papers. Proposals for organising a symposium should be submitted to the conference office by 31 March 2019, but later proposals will be considered if space allows. For any questions about the organisation of a symposium please contact the conference office. ## Related conferences - SIGIR — International Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/141 - AAAI — AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/408 - CVPR — IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/407 - ICRA — International Conference on Robotics and Automation — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/421 - IJCAI — International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/405 ## Related journals - Parallel Computing — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/20 - International Journal of Parallel Programming — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/492 - IEEE Transactions on Multimedia — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/152 - Knowledge-Based Systems — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/227 - Software & Systems Modeling — https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/99 --- Source: Conference Partner — https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/75 (rankings reproduced from CCF / ICORE / QUALIS; data cached up to 1 hour)
