• Scope

Supercomputing Asia (SCA) is an inaugural annual conference that will encompass an umbrella of notable supercomputing events with the key objective of promoting a vibrant and relevant HPC ecosystem in Asian countries, and will be held from 26 to 29 March 2018 at Resorts World Convention Centre, Singapore. The technical program of SCA18 has its roots in Supercomputing Frontiers (SCF), which is Singapore’s annual international HPC conference inaugurated in 2015 by A*CRC, and now hosted by NSCC Singapore. SCF17 was attended by over 450 delegates from over 12 different countries. Riding on the success from the previous year, Supercomputing Frontiers will be rebranded as Supercomputing Frontiers Asia (SCFA), which serves as the technical program for SCA18. The technical program for SCA18 consists of four tracks; “Application, Algorithms & Libraries”, “Programming & System Software”, “Data, Storage & Visualization”, and “Architecture, Network/Communications & Management”.

• Paper Submission

Submission can be made through Springer’s online submission system (https://ocs.springer.com/ocs/home/SCA2018). All submissions must follow Springer's LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors) without changing default margins, fonts, etc. The total page limit is 18 pages excluding references. Supplementary materials that facilitate verification of the results, e.g., source code, proof details, etc., may be appended without a page limit or uploaded as separate files, but reviewers are neither required to read them nor will they be printed in the proceedings. Hence submissions must be complete, intelligible and self-contained within the 18 pages bound. Papers should have page numbers to facilitate their review. In LaTeX, this can be achieved for instance using \pagestyle{plain}. Each submission must be a single PDF file. Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. It should not be submitted in parallel to any other conference or journal. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. At least one author of an accepted paper must attend SCA18 to present the paper.

 

• Proceedings

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer Nature’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). The camera-ready versions need to be submitted via Springer Nature’s Online Conference Service (OCS) system. The link to the submission site will be provided soon. Please contact the Program Chairs for any questions/clarifications.
