************************************************************************


Dear Professionals and Research Students working in areas involving both 
theory and application fields of computer science, we are inviting you to 
join us for our:
7th High Performance Computing for Complex Systems, Theory and Applications 
Workshop within The 2015 International Conference on Parallel and 
Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'15): July 27-30, 
2015, Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, USA.

Deadline for the full paper submission is April 10, 2015.

Official CFP
Following the success of our previous Cellular Automata, Theory and 
Applications Workshop (some of them included exciting keynotes addressed 
from  leading complex systems researchers, Prof. Dr. Peter Sloot, and by 
Prof. Yaroslav D. Sergeyev, father of the Infinity Computer), from this 
year topics of the Workshop have been extended to the more general Complex 
Systems theme, including both theoretical and applicative aspects of this 
important computer science field. Particular attention will be related to 
the use of High Performance Computing (HPC) to support the modelling and 
simulation of complex systems.

The main objective of this Workshop, organized within the 2015 World 
Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing 
(WORLDCOMP'15), is to offer scientists, researchers and engineers an 
opportunity to express and confront their views on trends, challenges, and 
state-of-the art in both theory and diverse application fields such as 
engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology, 
sociology, traffic control, economy, etc.

Distinguished papers will be published in a special issue of a leading 
ISI/SCOPUS research journal publishing theoretical, practical, tutorial and 
survey papers on all aspects of supercomputing. For example, a Special 
Issue on Cellular Automata based papers was published in 2013 in Springer’s 
Journal of Supercomputing (Volume 65, Issue 2, DOI 
10.1007/s11227-013-0961-4).


Chairs of Session: 
- Lou D'Alotto, York College/CUNY, New York, USA (ldalotto at gc.cuny.edu)
- Georgios Sirakoulis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece (
gsirak at ee.duth.gr)
- William Spataro, University of Calabria, Italy (spataro at unical.it)
- Giuseppe A. Trunfio, University of Sassari, Italy (trunfio at uniss.it)


SCOPE:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- High-performance computing in complex systems modelling and simulation;
- MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU implementation and benchmarking of complex systems 
models; 
- Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm 
Intelligence theoretical studies and practical implementations;
- Bio-inspired computing and algorithms;
- Applications to physics, chemistry, biology, geology, engineering, 
medicine, ecology, economics and social science.

SUBMISSION:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers directly to 
the Workshop Chair William Spataro (spataro at unical.it). Please include 
“HPCCS 2015” in the email subject header. Submissions must be received by 
April 10, 2015 and they must be in pdf format (about 5 to 7 pages - single 
space, font size of 10 to 12). All reasonable typesetting formats are 
acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a 
particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for publication.) The 
length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to 7 (IEEE 
style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published or currently 
submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper 
should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and 
email address for each author. The first page should also identify the name 
of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best 
represent the content of the paper. Finally, the name of the conference 
(HPCCS 2015) must be stated on the first page.

PUBLICATION:
The proceedings of the PDPTA conference (which include our 7th Complex 
Systems, Theory and Applications Workshop) will be published in printed 
conference books (ISBN) and will also be made available online. The 
proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track 
citation frequency/data for each published paper. Science citation 
databases include: the ACM Digital Library (http://dl.acm.org/), Inspec / 
IET / The Institute for Engineering & Technology; The French National 
Center for Scientific Research, CNRS, INIST databases, PASCAL (accessable 
from INIST, Datastar, Dialog, EBSCO, OVID, Questel.Orbit, Qwam, and STN 
International); and others. The proceedings/books of PDPTA for prior years 
have been evaluated for inclusion into major science citation index 
databases. We are happy to report that the evaluation board of science 
citation index databases have approved the indexing, integrating, and 
inclusion of PDPTA proceedings into relevant indexing databases (indexing 
databases include, among others: Scopus, www.info.scopus.com; SCI 
Compendex, Engineering Village, www.ei.org; and others).


MORE:
The 7th Complex Systems, Theory and Applications Workshop, together with 
all other WORLDCOMP Workshops and Conferences, will be held at The 
Montecarlo Resort Hotel, one of Las Vegas’ newly renovated luxurious hotels 
overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. More information about the general PDPTA 
2015 conference and WorldComp’15 congress can be found at:
