It is a general-purpose language adopted by many scientific applications such as computational fluid dynamics, bio molecular simulation, artificial intelligence, statistics and data analysis, scientific visualization etc. More and more industrial domains are turning towards it as well, such as robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, automotive solutions, telecommunication, computer graphics, and games. In all fields, the use of Python for scientific, high performance parallel, and distributed computing, as well as general scripted automation is increasing. Moreover, Python is well-suited for education in scientific computing. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia using Python for all aspects of high performance and scientific computing. The goal is to present Python applications from mathematics, science, and engineering, to discuss general topics regarding the use of Python (such as language design and performance issues), and to share experience using Python in scientific computing education. Topics ------ * High performance computing with Python * Performance analysis, profiling, and debugging of Python code * System administration using Python * Integration with other programming languages * Python applications in mathematics, science, and engineering * Scientific visualization * Problem solving environments * Education in scientific computing Papers/Submission ----------------- We invite you to submit a paper of up to 10 pages via the submission site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pyhpc2012). All papers will be published published as a part of the SC 2012 digital proceedings. These are IEEE digital library proceedings that will be available online. The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit. The formatting instructions are available here: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Important Dates --------------- Full paper submission: September 14, 2012 Notification of acceptance: October 1, 2012 Camera-ready papers: October 29, 2012 Program Committee ----------------- * Achim Basermann, German Aerospace Center, Germany * David Beazley, Dabeaz, LLC, USA * William E.

On the Python Wiki responsibly edited Python-related content is not merely accepted but actively encouraged. Please feel free to create pages, taking care not to make page names too vague, of course, and by all means edit the conferences page. Just remember to use the preview function to check your edits instead of saving many times: the Wiki should remember your drafts, at least if you've logged in. I'm not sure whether the Wiki supports OpenID, so you may need to create an account if you want a proper user identity, but nobody is prohibited from editing without an account. Paul P.S. Various discussions of conference calendars have come up recently. The PythonEvents page also contains scheduling information, and eventually I'll try and persuade people to make it more calendar like by installing something like EventAggregator. Maybe we'll also get OpenID enabled in the Wiki one day if it isn't already.

I have experience running tech events here like startup weekends, http://coffeegrid.org (I'm co-founder). This year I'm running this event http://coffeegrid.org/dev/med/ and everyone is excited about the idea of make a pycon in the city. Also Medell?n is getting very good traction as an innovative city in the area. We have now some organizations willing to sponsor the event, but I'm not so sure how the official pycon process is, if any. So this is why I'm writing to you guys, I hope you can help me with more information and thanks in advance :) -- Sebasti?n Castillo Builes Founder at http://engager.io, http://nuagehq.com, http://coffeegrid.org, http://nullindustries.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
