High Performance Computing Saudi Arabia (HPC Saudi) is the premier regional event in the field, where participants from academia, industry, and government come together to share ideas and experiences, and discuss cooperation and collaboration, to advance the cutting edge in HPC, nationally and beyond.
This is the 10th HPC Saudi event and this year it will focus on the themes related to the convergence of HPC with big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and IoT. A particular focus is to explore the future HPC technologies in the era of ubiquitous smart computing, such as big data analytics leveraging edge, fog, cloud, and distributed computing for low-latency smart sensing and actor applications. Such technologies will play a fundamental role in shaping the future of HPC, and our planet, as we move towards the smart era embracing smarter cities and societies. This becomes particularly important with many grand smart city projects worldwide such as the NEOM city supported by $500 billion from the Saudi government under Saudi Vision 2030.
Submission Guidelines
You are invited to submit Full Papers (Max. 16 pages) or Short Papers (Max. 8 pages) in Springer format (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) comprising original unpublished work relevant to the HPC Saudi topics. Papers must be submitted through the easychair system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpcsaudi2020).
Submitted manuscripts will be evaluated by the TPC on significance, originality, relevance, correctness, and clarity. Manuscripts must be original work, and should not be under consideration for another conference or journal.
