AIMS AND SCOPE
The development of models through which computers can simulate the
evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the
advancement of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of
computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing
methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study
of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical
methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one
hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as
Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence,
etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for
modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to
be impracticable.

Following the success of our first HPCMS workshop which was held in Turin
(Italy) last year, we are glad to invite you to our second edition which
will be held in Turku (Finland).

An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop is to provide a platform for a
multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers,
educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities,
Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in
the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field.
HPCMS intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on
trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields,
such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine,
ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary
and multi-disciplinary research applications
- Complex systems modelling and simulation
- Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm
Intelligence implementations
- Integrated approach to optimization and simulation
- MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science
- Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in
Computational Science
- High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological,
physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems
- Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and
simulation

Submission guidelines
Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the
IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt).
Double-bind review: the first page of the paper should contain only the
title and abstract; in the reference list, references to the authors’ own
work should appear as "omitted for blind review" entries.

Manuscript submission Publication
Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society in the same volume
of the main track. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and
present their papers at the Conference. Conference proceedings will be
indexed, among others, by IEEE explore, DBLP, Scopus ScienceDirect, and ISI
Web of Knowledge. For submission, please use the follwoing link:

Special Issue
Organizers of the HPCMS session are planning a Special Issue of an
important international ISI Journal, based on distinguished papers that
will be accepted for the session. Regarding last year’s edition, a selected
number of papers of the workshop will be published this year on the ISI
Journal “International Journal of High Performance and Applications” (I.F.
1.3).

Paper submission: 25st August 2014
Acceptance notification: 25th Oct 2014
Camera ready due: 10th Nov 2014
Conference: 4th - 6th Mar 2015
