Thus\, the presentations will focus on environmental app lication needing high-performance computing\, physical modeling of large-s cale problems\, and the development of scalable algorithms for solving lar ge scale problems on modern parallel and distributed high-performance comp uting platforms\, including multicore architectures\, GPGPUs/GPUs\, and cl usters.Furthermore\, during the workshop the participants will have the op portunity to discuss and share the latest research in parallel and distrib uted high performance computing systems applied to problems in environment al sciences - e.g. meteorology\, various life-sciences\, geology\, geograp hy\, seismology\, geophysics\, etc. The emphasis of this workshop will be on running complex realistic applications at sustained performance in prod uction-grade HPC environments. Scalability studies of complex computing co des on HPC platforms and the tools and development environments facilitati ng improved scalability are among the expected contributions.Workshop dead lines+ Submission of papers: July 1\, 2011+ Notification of acceptance: Ju ly 31\, 2011+ Final paper: September 08\, 2011+ Registration: September 1\ , 2011+ Symposium starts: September 26\, 2011+ Revised papers for special issue: November 30\, 2011Workshop ChairsEmil Slusanschi - University "Poli tehnica" of Bucharest\, Romania\, emil.slusanschi at cs.pub.roRalf-Peter M undani - Technische Universität München\, mundani at tum.deIoan Lucian M untean - Technical University of Cluj-Napoca\, Ioan.Lucian.Muntean at cs.u tcluj.roTopicsSpecific topics for this workshop include\, but are not limi ted to\, the following:+ Multicore/manycore architectures in environmental applications+ GPU support for environmental applications+ Cluster\, Grid and Cloud Computing in environmental applications+ Parallelization of comp ute- or data-intensive tasks in environmental applications+ Data handling\ , integration and visualization in environmental applications+ Distributed infrastructures for environmental applications+ Programming paradigms for high-performance computing in environmental applications+ Tools and progr amming environments supporting high-performance computing in environmental applications+ Scheduling in high-performance computing for environmental applications+ Workflow management and remote collaboration in environmenta l applications+ System level support for high-performance computing in env ironmental applications+ Fault-tolerance of distributed environmental appl ications+ Scalability of infrastructures and applications in environmental applicationsPaper SubmissionWe invite submissions in the form of:+ resear ch papers\,+ extended abstractsPapers of up to 8 pages (IEEE conference st yle)\, must be submitted electronically through EasyChair.Research papers must contain original research results not submitted and not published els ewhere.Authors which want to present work in progress or discuss new aspec ts or a survey of their older research results at the workshop are welcome to submit an extended abstract (up to 4 pages).Papers will be refereed an d accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the Wor kshop topics.PublicationThe papers accepted for presentation will be inclu ded in a locally edited proceedings (electronic version on a memory stick) .Accepted research papers should be presented at the conference and the be st papers will be selected for publication in the post proceedings publish ed by IEEE Computer Society - Conference Publishing Services (ISI Proceedi ngs).Extended versions of the papers accepted and presented at the worksho p will be considering to be published as a special issue in the Mathematic s and Computer Science Annals of the West University of Timisoara (http:// www.math.uvt.ro/anmath/) or in SCPE - Scalable Computing: Practice and Exp erience (http://www.scpe.org/) (under ISI Thomson evaluation).  Other pos sibilities for publication will be formulated soon after the workshop.Loca l Workshop OrganizersDana Petcu - West University of  Timisoara\, Romania \, petcu at info.uvt.roMarc Frincu - West University of  Timisoara\, Roma nia\, mfrincu at info.uvt\n\nhttps://events.saifa.rs/event/162/ LOCATION:Timisoara\, Romania URL:https://events.saifa.rs/event/162/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
