June 28 - July 2, 2010
Le CENTRE DE CONGRÈS de CAEN
Caen, France
Preliminary
Call for DEMOS & Exhibits
(Proposal Submission
Deadline: February 28, 2010)
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The HPCS 2010 Conference, held in conjunction with the International Wireless
Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2010) in Caen, France, June 28 ŭ
July2, 2010, is an important opportunity for both business and academic sectors to network
with the HPC and Simulation communities and collaborating projects investigators and
developers, to exchange information, ideas, techniques, hardware and software platforms
and tools on how to advance the state of the art in this rapidly evolving field, in order
to support the scientific research and education as well as industrial applications and
implementations.
Demos and experiential showcases of HPC environments and tools and simulation are highly
encouraged to be part of this meeting. We welcome proposals on all subjects and
exhibits related to HPCS. Topics include the themes outlined in the conference
topics as well as distributed data management, grid and HPC, challenging HPC applications,
modeling and simulation techniques and solutions using HPC systems, etc.
Demos and exhibits will be on display throughout the Conference, with dedicated sessions
and times as will be indicated in the Program. For demos, this will give authors the
opportunity to present their work to a wide audience. For exhibits, this will provide an
excellent opportunity to market products and services.
Real experimentation has proven to be a fundamental methodology to evaluate HPC
technologies and systems as well as modeling and simulation. Early prototyping is an
outstanding way to understand real user requirements and help adoption of technologies by
the mass market. In addition, the demo session showing real-systems prototypes at
work will naturally complement the technical sessions, thus stimulating discussions among
attendees.
As in every year, the Conference will feature state-of-the-art set of demo
presentations. The HPCS 2010 Organizing Committee invites proposals and ideas for
demos to be held in conjunction with the Conference. Topics may cover different
levels, ranging from introductory to highly advanced. Demos will address relevant
subject areas within HPC and simulation. Typically, 30-minute demos are planned but
others will be considered. Proposals will be evaluated by members of the Organizing
Committee.
If you are interested in presenting a demo at this conference or you have an idea for a
demo you would like to see offered please contact the Demos & Exhibits
Co-Chairs.
TOPICS INCLUDE
(but are not limited to):
All HPCS related topics.

A proposal to present a demo should contain the following information:
- Demo Title
- Full Name(s), Affiliation(s) and Contact Information of the Instructor(s)
- Extended Abstract (500-1000 words) detailing (a) the technical subject,
(b) its importance, (c) its relevance and benefits to HPCS 2010
attendees, and (d) demo objectives
- Demo detailed Outline in a medium level of granularity including sections and
subsections as well as bibliography (as applicable)
- Intended audience profile and prerequisites (if any)
- Expected duration of the demo
- Expected demo format. (i.e., talks, or talks + demo, etc.)
- Audio/Visual requirements
- Biography of the Instructor(s) (100-200 words)
If the demo or its earlier version has been given before, please indicate those respective
events in full, dates, and content. This is an important requirement.
Authors of all accepted demos are invited to provide a short DEMO EXTENDED ABSTRACT ( up
to 3 pages) describing the demo features. Demo Extended Abstracts will be included
in the Conference proceedings.
