[About ISHPC]
  The objectives of International Symposium on High Performance
Computing '99 (ISHPC99) are to exchange the latest research results in
software, hardware and applications for high performance computing
toward the 21st century.

  The first ISHPC took place in Fukuoka, Japan during Nov.4-6, 1997,
where two keynotes by Dr. David Kuck and Prof. Arvind, seven invited
talks, two tutorials of parallelizing compilers and MPI, twenty
regular paper and ten short paper presentations, and two panel
discussions were given to about 120 registrated participants.  The
proceedings of ISHPC97 has been published as Lecture Notes in Computer
Science No.1336 by Springer-Verlag.  Furthermore, several selected
papers from the ISHPC97 proceedings are on review for International
Jounal of Parallel Programming Special Issue on ISHPC97 (Plenum
Press).

  The ISHPC99 to be held in Kyoto May 26-28, 1999, will include
distinguished keynotes, invited talkds/tutorials, and panels as well
as regular/short paper presentations.


[Scope]
  The main focus of ISHPC99 will be parallel and distributed high
performance computing viewed from the three perspectives of software,
architecture and applications.  Topics include, but are not limited
to, the following:
  Software: Parallelizing compilers, Data partitioning and scheduling,
	    Operating systems, Programming languages, Parallel and
	    distributed programming environments and their designs,
	    Performance evaluation and measurements, Visualization.
  Architecture: Instruction level parallelism, Multi-threaded
	    architecture, Massively parallel systems, Scalable shared
	    memory multiprocessor systems, Interconnection networks,
	    Memory system and management, Parallel I/O, Computer
	    networks, Multimedia distributed systems
  Applications: Parallel and distributed algorithms, Database systems,
	    Artificial intelligence application studies, Artificial
	    life application studies, High performance scientific
	    computing, Neural computing
  Note the ISHPC99 proceedings will be published as a "Lecture Notes
in Computer Science" by Springer-Verlag again (now proposing).  Also
we have a plan to propose an "IJPP Special issue on ISHPC99".

[PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES]
All submissions must be received by November 30, 1998.  Submit five
(5) copies (by postal mail) to Prof. Akira Fukuda (Graduate School of
Information Science, Nara Institute of Science and Technology, 8916-5,
Takayama, Nara, 630-01, JAPAN, Tel: +81-7437-2-5320, FAX:
+81-7437-2-5329) or a postscript file (by E-mail) to
ishpc99@is.aist-nara.ac.jp

We strongly recommend E-mail submissions.

Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three referees.  A
manuscript should include the title, author's information
(name(s),affiliation, postal address, E-mail address and phone and FAX
numbers), a 100 word abstract, five (5) specific keywords and the full
text (with figures and tables).  The manuscript should not exceed 20
double-spaced typing pages.  Submitted papers will be acknowledged by
E-mail promptly.


[FOREIGN GRADUATE STUDENTS INVITATION PROGRAM] 
We decided that the travel expense of foreign (living outside of
Japan) graduate students, whose papers are accepted by ISHPC99 with
good review results, will be paid by ISHPC99.  The invited graduate
students must be the first authors of their papers, and present their
papers at ISHPC99.  The number of invited foreign graduate students
may be five through ten.  It depends on the quality of the submitted
papers.  For the details of this program, feel free to contact
ishpc99@is.aist-nara.ac.jp.


[IMPORTANT DATES]
	Paper submission deadline   		    November 30, 1998
	Author notification     		    January 14, 1999
	Camera-ready version and pre-registration   February 10, 1999
