ISC 2021 Calls for Research Paper Submissions by December 10, 2020

2020-10-12 12:45

FRANKFURT, Germany, October 12, 2020 – Submissions are now open for the ISC High Performance (ISC 2021) Research Paper Sessions. These sessions offer engineers and scientists in academia, industry, and government a unique and interactive opportunity to share their latest research in the fields of high performance computing, networking, storage, machine learning, and data analytics with the ISC audience. Submissions will be accepted through December 10, with abstracts indicating an intention to submit due on December 3.

The ISC Research Paper Sessions will be held from Monday, June 28 through Wednesday, June 30, 2021 at the ISC High Performance conference and exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany. The 2021 event expects over 3,700 international attendees and 160 exhibitors.

All submitted research papers will undergo double-blind peer review by a minimum of four reviewers. The 2021 Research Papers Committee is headed by Dr. Bradford Chamberlain from HPE, USA and Dr. Ana Lucia Varbanescu of the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Each accepted paper will receive one complimentary day pass for the presenting author on the day of the talk. In the event of being physically unable to present at ISC 2021 due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, authors will be permitted to present their papers remotely.

Two best submissions will be shortlisted by the committee for the Hans Meuer Award. The authors of the winning paper will be honored with a cash prize of 3,000 euros, a certificate for the award, and the opportunity to present their work in a special awards session at ISC 2021.

Areas of Interest

The ISC Research Papers Committee encourages the submission of high-quality papers reporting original work in theoretical, experimental, and industrial research and development. The ISC submission process will be divided into five tracks.
