SYMPOSIUM ORGANISER: Dr. rer. nat. Claus-Peter Rueckemann, Westfaelische Wilhelms-Universitaet Muenster (WWU), Germany ruckema (at) uni-muenster.de DESCRIPTION OF THE TOPICS OF THE SYMPOSIUM: ------------------------------------------- This Symposium on Advanced Computation and Information in Natural and Applied Sciences focusses on architectures and methods for high end computational and numerical applications. Up to date computing and information systems (software engineering, communication, and architectures) are an undispensable tool for progress in various scientific fields. We invite scientists and engineers from academia and industry using and implementing computation and information systems, High Performance Computing, Cloud Computing, and Distributed Computing for scientific research, engineering, education, and future internet applications. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished results which are not under review in any other conference or journal, to the peer review for publication and presentation, in the following, but not limited to, the following topic areas of this symposium. TOPICS * Large scale and fast computation * Information and computing systems * Advanced software engineering and intelligent systems * Software engineering for high end systems and applications * Supercomputing, High Performance Computing (HPC), Exascale * High End Computing (HEC), Cloud Computing, Grid Computing, distributed systems * Services computing * Database applications * Data processing * Efficient algorithms, parallelisation of algorithms and applications * Integrated frameworks for computation and information * Big data, large scale data storage, management, and visualisation * Parallel algorithms, MPI, OpenMP, shared Memory * Optimisation and highly performance codes * Programming languages, tools for parallelisation * Advanced applications and algorithms * Computer science, natural sciences, geosciences, planetology * Archaeology, geoprocessing, spatial sciences * Life sciences, medical applications * Mathematical and numerical algorithms * Simulation and modelling, genetic algorithms * Scientific data processing * Advanced scientific computing * Computation frameworks and tools * Methodological and practical contributions * Knowledge-based systems, education, e-Learning, and e-Science * Legal informatics, technical-legal context, science and Open Access * Documentation, classification (UDC), and evaluation context * Performance measurement * Energy consumption and management * Web services and performance * Applications and benchmarking * Networks and systems communications * Future Internet broadband services and applications * Resources and object certification, public key infrastructures * Data integrity * Privacy and anonymity * Networks/systems measurement, control and management, simulation and emulation * Quality of Service, Data, and Context (QoS / QoD / QoC) * e-Commerce, accounting, pricing and billing * Use of distributed compute and storage resources * Energy-aware mechanisms and energy-efficient technology for operation, control, and management * Configuration, reuse of software components * Resource allocation and management * System and data security; Communication visualisation ============================================================
