It provides a forum for HPC researchers, designers, and users throughout the world to exchange ideas, case studies, and research results related to all issues of high performance computing. The first three conferences were held in Taipei in 1995, Seoul in 1997, and Singapore in 1998. Attendance ranged from hundreds to a thousand. The fourth conference, HPC Asia 2000, will be held in Beijing on May 14-17, 2000. HPC Asia 2000 will include keynote addresses, invited/plenary speeches, contributed papers, panel discussions, tutorials, and industrial exhibits. The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, and outstanding papers will be selected for a special issue in an international journal (pending). More updated information can be found at the conference official website http://www.cs.wm.edu/hpcs/HPCAsia2000.html. In real-world applications, HPC has already crossed the boundary of high-end technical computing. This conference reflects this change by choosing a broad scope of topics. Relevant topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * System Architecture and Models * Processor and System Architectures * Interconnection and System-Area Networks * Cache/Memory Coherency and Consistency * Latency Hiding Techniques * High-Performance Storage and I/O Technology * Embedded and Special-Purpose HPC Systems * Parallel-, Network-, Mobil- and Meta-Computing Paradigms * Emerging Paradigms (e.g., Biological/Quantum computing) * Semantic, Programming, and Performance Models * System Software * Parallel, Distributed, and Cluster Operating Systems * Single System Image * Availability, Checkpoint, Process Migration * Manageability and System Administration * Usability and User Interface * HPC System Security * Workload Management and Resource Scheduling * High-Performance Communication Techniques * Languages, Compilers, Libraries, Debuggers and Monitors * Distributed Objects and Software Components * Algorithms and Applications * Algorithms for Regular and Irregular Problems * Computational Sciences, Engineering, Medicine Applications * Signal, Image, Graphic Processing * Pattern recognition and Machine intelligence * Electronic Business and Electronic Commerce * Database, OLTP, OLAP, Data Warehousing, and Data Mining * Multimedia Applications and Technology * Internet/Intranet/Extranet/Web Systems and Applications * Vertical Applications Case Studies * Multidisciplinary Applications * Societal Impacts * HPC Contributions to Economics and Society * HPC Roles in Environment Protection/Sustainable Development * HPC Education and Training Aspects * HPC Market and Industrial Trends CONTRIBUTED PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Please submit your complete paper to any of the four Program Committee Chair/Co-Chairs. The paper should not exceed 15 single-spaced pages of text using 12 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. Electronic submissions by email are encouraged. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2) file that will print on a PostScript printer using 8.5 x 11 inch size (letter size) paper. To facilitate processing, each submission should also enclose the following information in ASCII format: paper title, author name, abstract, up to five keywords, as well as the contacting information of the responsible author (postal address, e-mail address, phone/fax numbers). If the author prefers hard copy submissions, please make sure four copies of the manuscript arrive before October 25, 1999. The results presented in the paper must be original. One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present the paper at the conference.
