ISC 2019 - ISC High Performance 2019

The ISC research paper sessions provide world-class opportunities for
engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present
and discuss issues, trends and results that will shape the future of
HPC, Networking, Storage and AI/Machine Learning. Submissions will be
accepted through December 12, 2018. The research paper sessions will be
held from Monday, June 17 through Wednesday, June 19, 2019. ISC High
Performance (ISC 2019) will be hosted in Frankfurt, Germany.
Submitted research papers will be peer-reviewed double-blind by at least
four reviewers. This year’s Research Papers Committee is headed by Dr. -
Ing. Carsten Trinitis, TU Munich, as Chair and Saday Sadayappan, Ohio
State University, as Deputy Chair as well as Dr. Michèle Weiland, EPCC,
as Proceedings Chair and Guido Juckeland, Helmholtz-Zentrum
Dresden-Rossendorf, as Proceedings Deputy Chair.
*Free conference day pass for presenter*
PUBLICATION
All accepted research papers will be published in the Springer‘s Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS] series. For the camera-ready version,
authors are automatically granted one extra page to incorporate reviewer
comments. The publication is free of charge and the published papers can
be downloaded from Springer‘s website for a limited time after the
conference. The proceedings are indexed in the ISI Conference
Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S), included in ISI Web of
Science, EI Engineering Index (Compendex and Inspec databases), ACM
Digital Library, DBLP, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Scopus and
Zentralblatt MATH.
