                                  HiPC 2000
                             December 17-20, 2000 
                               Bangalore, India

The new millennium International Conference on High Performance Computing
(HiPC 2000) will be held in Bangalore, the Silicon Valley of India, during
December 17-20, 2000. This is the seventh annual international meeting on
high performance computing organized in India. It will serve as a forum to
present current work by researchers from around the world as well as high-
light activities in Asia in the high performance computing area. The confe-
rence has a history of  attracting participation from reputed researchers 
from all over the world. The sixth meeting held in Calcutta, India, in 1999 
had  60  contributed  papers that were  selected from submissions from 12 
countries, and additional special sessions. Approximately 200 participants 
attended the meeting. The conference had tutorials on cutting edge topics 
in high performance computing and related areas by leading researchers from 
academia and industry. Please refer to the web site www.hipc.org for 
more information on previous meetings.

Bangalore, a bustling metropolis, is the fifth largest city in India and the 
capital of the state of Karnataka. It is the main centre of the Information 
Technology industry in India; literally every Indian and multi-national IT 
company has a presence here. Bangalore is home to the Indian Institute of 
Science (IISc), a premier research institute, and many other aerospace and 
high technology industries including the Centre for Development of Advanced 
Computing. The state of Karnataka boasts of many ancient Indian architectural 
marvels, wildlife sanctuaries, rain forests (the Western Ghats), pristine 
beaches, and rich and hoary cultural traditions.

HiPC 2000 will emphasize the design and analysis of high performance computing 
and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial 
applications. In addition to technical sessions of contributed paper presenta-
tions, the conference will offer invited presentations, a poster/presentation 
session, tutorials, vendor presentations, and exhibits. A few special sessions 
on cutting-edge research topics will also be organized.

To submit an original research paper, send your complete manuscript (not to
exceed 15 double-spaced pages of text using 12 point size type on 8.5 x 11
inch  pages) to the Program Chair. References, figures, tables, etc. may be
included in addition to the fifteen pages of text. 

Electronic submissions are  strongly  encouraged  and should be emailed to 
hipc2000@ac.upc.es. Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable 
postscript file containing the following header information in ASCII form: 
title,  author name(s),  abstract,  postal address,  e-mail address, and 
telephone and fax numbers. The header (in ASCII) should be followed by the 
PostScript version of the complete manuscript (including title, author names, 
affiliation, and abstract).   Authors should  submit a correct PostScript 
(level 2) file of  their  paper to be considered and make sure that the 
PostScript file will print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5 x 11 inch 
size (letter size) paper.
