SCOPE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HPCAsia is an international conference series held every 18 months on
an Asia-Pacific regional site. It provides a forum for HPC researchers,
developers, and users throughout the world to exchange ideas, case
studies, and research results related to all issues of high
performance computing.  The seventh conference, HPCAsia 2004, will be
held in Omiya Sonic City, Saitama in Tokyo area, Japan on July 20-22,
2004.

HPCAsia2004 solicits posters presentations, which report innovative
designs, theoretical or experimental results, and case studies related
to High Performance and Grid computing.
Posters are an excellent way to present ideas and results not yet
developed into a full paper, and offer means of presenting research
in a more casual setting with a chance for in-depth discussion.
The areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - System Architecture and Models for HPC
   - System Software for HPC
   - Algorithms and Applications for HPC
   - Grid Computing

--------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTER SUBMISSION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Poster authors are invited to submit abstracts of posters (up to 2
pages). The committee will review the abstracts in terms of technical
quality, originality, relevance, and clarity.
All submissions will be handled via email. A submitted abstract
should be a PostScript (level 2) or PDF file that will print on a
PostScript printer. Please submit your abstract to
"hpcasia2004poster@hpcs.is.tsukuba.ac.jp". 
A two-page abstract of accepted posters will appear in a poster
poster summary distributed to conference attendees.
