- migration from SPP-UX to HP-UX,
- system management, resource management and batch systems,
- file servers, data management and hierarchical storage systems,
- visualization, graphics and multimedia,
- programming paradigms,
- tools and programming environments (especially for parallel programs),
- performance evaluation,
- new HP products for high performance computing.

The Conference will include

- tutorials (topics will be announced later),
- invited talks,

- presentations of new HP products for high performance computing
and storage,

Contributed papers

We invite participants with experiences in high performance computing
and/or storage on HP systems to submit papers for HiPer'99.

A reduction of the registration fee will be offered to one author of
each accepted contributed paper.

Contributed papers will be accepted for presentation at HiPer'99 on the
ground of one-page A4 abstracts (in the HiPer'99 format, in PostScript
or US-ASCII 80 col/66 lines) which should be emailed to the Committee
before April 9, 1999.

An abstract should contain short overview of the state-of-art, a
description of main ideas, results, conclusions and references.

Abstracts will be reviewed taking into account: relevance for HiPer'99,
significance of results, originality, technical accuracy and language of
the paper.
Authors will be notified of their acceptance by April 23, 1999.

Accepted papers, in their final form, 6 to 15 pages, in the HiPer'99
format and in PostScript, should be sent via email to the Local

will be distributed to participants at the beginning of the Conference.

an invited lecture, a contributed oral presentation as well as a
"classical" poster.
