session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions;
including, soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, ... The names of
session chairs will appear as Associate Editors in the conference
proceedings. After the conference, some sessions will be considered
for publication in appropriate journals as Special Issues with the
session proposer as the Guest Editor of the journal.
Proposals to organize technical sessions should include the following
information: name and address (+ E-mail) of proposer, title of
session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session, and a

together with research centers, international associations,
international research groups, and developers of high-performance
machines and systems. The complete list of sponsors and co-sponsors
will be available at a later time.
(Previous conferences' sponsors included: CSREA, the National
Supercomputing Center for Energy and the Environment - DOE, The
International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation,
The International Technology Institute (ITI), The Java High
Performance Computing research group, World Scientific and Engineering
Society, Sundance Digital Signal Processing Inc., the Computer Vision
Research and Applications Tech., HP, a number of publishers of books
