To deploy high performance computing infrastructures based on P2P is a promising topic for researchers on Computational Sciences. But there are still some unsolved problems, which set a great barrier for further research, such as the overlay organization schemes, tasks assignment scheme, incentive mechanisms, applications design and other interesting issues.

The proposed workshop will focus on the above topics to accelerate the development of Computational Sciences. P2P-HPCS’06 will emphasize the theory, method, and design of high performance computing based on P2P as well as applications in Computational Sciences. Researchers and practitioners will get together to present up-to-date achievement in this international forum.

P2P-based high performance computational sciences has become one of the most important and challenging areas of Computational Science. This workshop solicits high-quality papers to discuss original research results in various areas of computational sciences using p2p technologies. Topics of interest include:  (but are not limited to):

• Network Protocols and Routing Algorithms
• Modeling and Simulation
• Load Balancing and Scheduling
• Resource and Service Discovery
• Economic and Incentive Computing
• Computational Science Applications

We solicit high-quality papers to discuss original research results in various areas of computational sciences using p2p technologies.

The submitted paper must be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS (for formatting information see Information for LNCS Authors). Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper at the workshop. Please, note that papers must not exceed eight pages in length, when typeset using the LNCS format. A paper without figures can be around 4500 words maximally.         Please submit your paper from ICCS engine. While submitting please don't forget to choose the workshop (last field): "2006 International Workshop on P2P for High Performance Computational Sciences (P2P-HPCS’06)", right after the [Main Track]; and send us a note to xfliao at hust.edu.cn. All papers will be peer reviewed. Accepted papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the conference proceedings in Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be available at the conference.

For information on conference venue and accommodation, registration and fee, etc. please refer to the conference site or directly ask ICCS organizers.  For information about the workshop, please contact us with xfliao@hust.edu.cn.
