<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">In conjunction with</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">The 26th International ACM Symposium on</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2017)</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">Washington D.C, USA on June 26 - June 30, 2017<br>

</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">Authors are invited to submit original papers on the research and practice</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">Of fault-tolerance in extreme scale (HPC) computing. Resilience and</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">fault-tolerance remain a major concern for supercomputing and advances in</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">this area are needed to allow applications to compute accurate (or within</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">error tolerance) answers in a timely and efficient manner in the presence</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">of degradations or failures of platform components (both hardware and</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">software).</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">Topics include, but are not limited to:</div>

<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Fault-tolerant programming models</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Models for software and hardware reliability</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Metrics and standards for measuring, improving, and enforcing effective fault-tolerance</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Scalable Byzantine fault-tolerance and security from single-fault and fail-silent violations</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Atmospheric evaluations relevant to HPC systems (terrestrial neutrons, temperature, voltage, etc.)</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Near-threshold-voltage implications and evaluations for reliability</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Benchmarks and experimental environments including fault injection</div>
