Notification of acceptance: December 2, 2005. Revised manuscript due: January 06, 2006. Final manuscript due: January 30, 2006. Symposium: April April 2-6, 2006. GENERAL INFORMATION The 2006 Spring Simulation Multiconference (formerly Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference) will feature High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC) 2006, the 14th special symposium devoted to the impact of high performance computing and communications on computer simulations. Advances in networking, high-end computers, large data stores, and middleware capabilities are ushering in a new era of high-performance parallel and distributed simulations. However, along with these opportunities come new challenges. The goal of the 2006 High Performance Computing Symposium (HPC 2006) is to encourage innovation in high performance computing and communication technologies and to stimulate the use of these technologies in key areas of computer simulation. It will promote the exchange of ideas and information between universities, industry, and national laboratories through the development of high performance computing and communication applications that, in turn, can provide solutions to current scientific and technical challenges. Broad areas of interest include: o High Performance Applications o High Performance Software Tools o Distributed and Grid Computing o Visualization and Data Management o Problem Solving Environments o Parallel Algorithms and Architectures o High Performance Discrete Event Simulation PAPER SUBMISSIONS Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 6 pages, double column) on topics related to the areas listed above. Submissions will be evaluated on relevance, technical quality, and exposition. Papers must not have appeared before (or be pending) in a journal or conference with published proceedings, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the HPC 2006 review process. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings as regular papers. Papers should be submitted electronically (in Word, PDF, or PostScript format) via the HPC 2006 conference web site at http://www.caip.rutgers.edu/hpc2006/ and should use SCS format. Formatting instructions are available at http://www.scs.org/confernc/formattingkit.pdf . It is expected that accepted papers will be presented at the symposium by one of the authors. PUBLICATION The symposium proceedings will be published by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). SPECIAL ISSUE Selected papers from this symposium will be considered for a special issue of the SCS journal "SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International".
