Please consider to contribute to The Sixth International Conference on
Advanced Communications and Computation (INFOCOMP 2016)
and events and/or forward to the appropriate groups.
INFOCOMP 2016 continues a successful series of events dedicated to advanced
communications and computing aspects, covering academic and industrial
achievements and visions.
Tracks feature application scenarios, state of the art, and outreach
developments of advanced scientific computing, supercomputing, HPC, and
communication from present to future architectures, integrated systems, beyond
cloud, and reaching exaflop:
Large scale and fast computation, networks/systems communications, measurement,
control and management, advanced applications from geosciences, scientific data
processing, natural sciences, archaeology, planetology, spatial and
environmental sciences, geoprocessing, integrated information and computing
systems, intelligent systems, big data, knowledge discovery and manegement,
mobility, legal informatics, database applications, as well as tracks on
evaluation context, biometry, security, access technologies, algorithms, and applications.
The conference aims on bringing together world's leading international experts, researchers,
computational scientists, developers, system managers, users, students, and
industry and business affiliates and government officials and funding agencies' representatives
for sharing experiences, publishing and presenting new research results and
discussing recent developments, challenges, and future advancements and collaboration
in exciting expert panels, workshops, symposia, and tutorials.
In this context, please also note the chance for proposals on:
