PASC15 Conference: upcoming poster presentation submission deadline and program

We would like to thank all those who responded to our Call for Participation with a Minisymposium and with a Contributed Talk proposal. We have received excellent submissions and we will be honored to host accepted contributions in our program.

There is now one more opportunity to be part of PASC15 by submitting a proposal for a Poster Presentation.  Deadline for Poster Presentation submissions is March 30, 2015 and we look forward to receiving your title and abstract! We would be grateful if  you could forward this communication to potential candidates in your professional circles.

**********

The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) is delighted to launch a Call for Participation to its next conference (PASC15) to be held from June 1 through 3, 2015 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland.

PASC15 Conference
June 1-3, 2015
ETH Zurich, Switzerland
www.pasc15.org

Scope of the Conference

PASC15 Conference is inviting researchers from diverse scientific background to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and exchange of expertise in HPC and computational science. The conference is an opportunity for researchers and professionals in branches of science that require computer modeling and high-performance simulations to discuss computational techniques and technologies.

PASC15 Conference seeks to engage participants from the academia, research labs and industry to address important issues in HPC and computational science resulting from applications of interest to society and hardware innovations.

Offering

PASC15 Conference will offer four plenary sessions, one public lecture with Nobel Prize in Economics in 2011 Thomas Sargent, 124 minisymposium presentations, up to 24 contributed talks, one inter-PASC Networks discussion, one joint plenary session with the satellite conference Frontiers in Computational Physics, a poster session, and information stands.

Contributions

Researchers from the academic and from the corporate world are encouraged to participate and present their research area in the form of poster presentations. We are grateful for the excellent submissions received from allover the world for mini symposium and contributed talk presentations. PASC15 welcomes submissions in the following scientific fields:

  • Climate and Weather
  • Solid Earth
  • Life Science
  • Chemistry and Materials
  • Physics
  • Computer Science and Mathematics
  • Engineering
  • Emerging Domains

Abstracts are to be submitted using the online submission system. Cross-disciplinary approaches are highly solicited. Guidelines about the submission process are available at: http://www.pasc15.org/submission/
