We are organizing a special session on High Performance (and Quantum) Computing Education
in the context of PDP 2025 conference (https://pdp2025.org/) in Turin, Italy (12-14 March 2025).
Paper submission: November 15, 2024, 23:59 AOE (Deadline extended!)
All information at https://www.pipsqueak.it/
Special Session: PIPSQUEAK (Papers In Parallel/distributed computing, Supercomputing, and Quantum computing Education for Advancing students, professionals and citizens Knowledge) at PDP 2025
Aims and Scope
As high-performance computing (HPC) and quantum computing continue to play a critical role in advancing scientific research and innovation, there is an urgent need to equip students and professionals with the knowledge and skills to harness these powerful tools effectively. The PIPSQUEAK special session invites contributions that explore educational strategies, professional training programs, and outreach initiatives aimed at broadening access to HPC and quantum computing knowledge.
This special session will provide educators, researchers, and practitioners with a platform to discuss the challenges and innovations in teaching HPC and quantum computing. We are particularly interested in contributions that focus on interdisciplinary approaches, integrating HPC and quantum computing into existing curricula, and developing resources for lifelong learning. Additionally, this session will explore how professional training for scientists and professionals without specific technical expertise can be enhanced to include foundational knowledge of HPC and quantum computing, enabling them to apply these technologies effectively in their fields.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest for this special session include, but are not limited to:
- Curriculum development and pedagogical strategies for HPC and quantum computing education.
- Professional training programs aimed at non-specialists, including scientists, engineers, and industry professionals.
- Integration of HPC and quantum computing concepts into K-12 and higher education.
- Educational tools, resources, and infrastructures for teaching HPC, quantum computing, and related fields.
- Strategies for addressing diversity and inclusion in HPC and quantum computing education.
- Outreach initiatives to increase public awareness and understanding of HPC and quantum computing.
- Case studies and best practices in teaching and training in HPC and quantum computing.
Key Dates
- Full paper submission: November 15, 2024, 23:59 AOE
- Author notification: December 20, 2024
- Camera-ready full papers: January 27, 2025
Submission Guidelines
Submissions must be in PDF format and should be at most 8 pages. All submissions must follow the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt) at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
At submission time, the authors should indicate that the submission is for the PIPSQUEAK Special Session. The review process is double-blind and all papers need to be “best-effort” anonymized. We strongly encourage making code and data available anonymously (e.g., in an anonymous GitHub repository via Anonymous GitHub or in a Dropbox folder).
Submissions will be evaluated by at least two reviewers, based on relevance, technical quality, potential impact, and clarity. All accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings volume published by Conference Publishing Services (https://ieeecps.org). At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the conference and present in person their paper at the special session, during the conference in Turin.
Submit your work at: https://www.pipsqueak.it/sumbission
Publication
Accepted papers will be included in the main conference proceedings and published by IEEE Computer Society’s Conference Publishing Services (CPS). Selected papers may be invited for extended versions to be considered for publication in a special issue of a relevant journal.
