Aims and Scope

Model development through which computers can simulate the evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the advancement of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study of complex systems. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, PIC, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable due to space and/or time constraints. An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop – now at its eleventh year at PDP –  is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities, Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science. HPCMS intent is to thus offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in computational problems and high-performance computing, related to areas in engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc.
