CLCAR 2011 CFP is open

The Latin-american Conference of High Performance Computing 2011- CLCAR 2011 (from Conferencia Latino Americana de Computación de Alto Rendimiento 2011) starts with the call for papers opening.

Since 2007, the Latin-American Conference on High Performance Computing (CLCAR) is an event for students, scientists and researchers in the areas of high performance computing, high throughput computing, parallel and distributed systems, e-science and applications, in a global context, but with special scope in latinoamerican propositions.

The program and scientific committees of CLCAR 2011 is formed by experts and researchers from different countries and related domains. Competent people from various countries and institutes will carry out the process of evaluating the proposals. CLCAR 2011 to be held in Colima, Mexico, September 5-9 2011. (http://clcar.itcolima.edu.mx/). As the last years, GridCast is media partner of the CLCAR Conference!.

The best-selected works, after further reviews, will be considered for special awards.
