The ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed 
Computing (HPDC) is the premier annual conference for presenting the latest 
research on the design, implementation, evaluation, and the use of parallel 
and distributed systems for high-end computing.

The 24th HPDC will take place in the city of roses, Portland, Oregon on June 
15-19, 2015. (Workshops on June 15-16, and the main conference on June 17-19.)

**** SCOPE AND TOPICS ****
Submissions are welcomed on high-performance parallel and distributed computing 
topics including but not limited to: clouds, clusters, grids, big data, 
massively multicore, and global-scale computing systems. Submissions that focus 
on the architectures, systems, and networks of cloud infrastructures are 
particularly encouraged, as are experience reports of operational deployments 
that can provide insights for future research on HPDC applications and systems. 
All papers will be evaluated for their originality, technical depth and 
correctness, potential impact, relevance to the conference, and quality of 
presentation. Research papers must clearly demonstrate research contributions 
and novelty, while experience reports must clearly describe lessons learned and 
demonstrate impact.

In the context of high-performance parallel and distributed computing, the 
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Systems, networks, and architectures
- Massively multicore systems
- Resource virtualization
- Programming languages and environments
- File and storage systems, I/O, and data management
- Resource management and scheduling, including energy-aware techniques
- Performance modeling and analysis
- Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
- Data-intensive computing
- Applications and services that depend upon high-end computing


**** PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ****
Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 12 pages in PDF 
format, including figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM 
Proceedings Style and submitted via the conference web site. No changes to the 
margins, spacing, or font sizes as specified by the style file are allowed. 
Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, and will be 
incorporated into the ACM Digital Library. A limited number of papers will be 
accepted as posters.

Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance required for 
the program committee to evaluate their contributions. Submitted papers must be 
original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for 
another conference or a journal. See the ACM Prior Publication Policy for more 
details. Papers can be submitted at https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/hpdc/.
