SCOPE
++++++++++++++++
HPC and Grid applications have become a highly important area because of their potential of solving large-scale problems on science and engineering, and thus have significant impact on the quality of all areas of life such as health care, the environment, energy, food safety etc. HPC and Grid applications also play an equally important role on driving the development of computer architectures.

Following the success of the first workshop IWHGA2009 in April 2009, we are encouraged to continue the efforts to provide an international forum for researchers and practitioners from both fields of application and computer science to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, present original ideas, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research results on HPC and Grid Applications, IWHGA2010 is going to be held in Huangshan, one of the World Cultural and Natural Heritages in China.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

# HPC- ,Grid-, or Cloud-based E-science, E-engineering, E-economics, E-Finance etc.;
# Parallelization ,Grid-, or Cloud-enablement for an existing application;
# Development of a new HPC, Grid, or Cloud application;
# Libraries, middleware, and tools for parallel, Grid, or Cloud applications;
# PSE or Workflow application for complex HPC, Grid, or Cloud applications;
# Data-centric HPC, Grid, or Cloud applications;
# HPC- ,Grid-, or Cloud-based visualization applications;
# Experience in using a HPC, Grid, or Cloud application;
# Fault-tolerance, low-latency, load-balancing strategies of HPC, Grid, Cloud applications;
# Performance tuning of conventional applications;
# Performance estimation, measurement, and/or evaluation of a HPC, Grid, or Cloud application;
# Scientific computations based on recent architectures or machines such as Cell B./E. and GPU etc.;
# Applications of High Efficiency Computing or Green Computing;
# Applications of High Availability Computing or Pervasive Computing.
