5th International
Young Scientists Conference
in HPC and Simulation

26 – 28 October, 2016,
Kraków, Poland

Event

Department of Computer Science AGH University of Science and Technology (Kraków, Poland), University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands (UvA) and Saint Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO University), Russian Federation announce 2016 International Young Scientists Conference for young researchers and professionals in HPC technologies and computer modeling to take place at the Department of Computer Science in the AGH University of Science and Technology area, Kraków, Poland.

The Conference aims to strengthen the ties between young scientists in different countries, thus promoting future collaboration in the framework of Computational Science and major application aspects of High Performance Computing, Computer Modeling and Simulation to tackle a wide range of issues in science, industry and business.

Simulation and systems thinking is one way to explain the complex world in which we live. By collecting data and creating computer models, scientists can make predictions on critical problems, such as how to influence the flow of traffic, how an epidemic will spread or the probability of individuals in society becoming addicted to drugs. The conference will cover the aspects related to HPC, BigData, large scale simulation of complex systems and offers an ideal range of topics for final year Master’s student or starting PhD students interested in this domain.

Scope

YSC 2016 invites original contributions on all topics related to High Performance Computing and Simulation, including, but not limited to:

  • Modeling and Simulation of Complex Systems
  • Advanced Numerical Algorithms
  • Problem Solving Environments
  • Web and Grid-based Simulation and Computing
