HPCS (High Performance Computing Symposium) is a multidisciplinary conference that focuses on research involving High Performance Computing and its application. Attended by Canadian and international experts and renowned researchers in the sciences, all areas of engineering, the applied sciences, medicine and life sciences, mathematics, the humanities and social sciences, it is Canada’s pre-eminent forum for HPC.
During the course of the symposium, high profile members of the international research community will present on ongoing projects which use HPC as a research tool. In the past, papers presented have included topics from fields such as Parallel Programming, Molecular Interactions, Biophysics, Environmental Research, Theoretical / Computational Chemistry, Genetic Programming, and Bio-Mechanics.

Vašek Chvatal will give a lecture entitled "Discrete Mathematics of Paul Erdős" on Sunday, February 6, 2011 at 13:30 as part of Seminars in Undergraduate Mathematics in Montreal (SUMM) 2011.
Abstract: Paul Erdős (1913 – 1996) was one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century. He made pre-eminent contributions to number theory, probability theory, real and complex analysis, discrete geometry, approximation theory, and set theory; some say that he founded the field of discrete mathematics. This talk will be about some of his results in number theory, geometry, Ramsey theory, extremal combinatorial problems, and graph theory.
Chvatal is the Canada Research Chair in Combinatorial Optimization and Professor in Concordia University's Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering.

The following PhD students from the Computer Science & Software Engineering department are the 2010-2011 Fond quebecois de la recherche sur la nature et les technologies (FQRNT) award recipients:
Rui Chen, Aleksandar Kircanski, Wen Ming Liu, Kaustubha Mendhurwar, Abu Sayeed Md. Sohail
This award supports students in their advancement of knowledge in the natural sciences, mathematical sciences and engineering.
The 1st place went to the CSE department's pumpkin named Ms. Algorithma Ciesi who was primarily designed by Nancy Acemian.
This award was granted to Dr. Bui and his current PhD student Dongwook Cho for their paper entitled "Multivariate statistical modeling for image denoising using wavelet transforms" published in Signal Processing: Image Communication in 2005. The award is given to the best paper published in the 4-year period between 2005 and 2008. The paper is based on Mr. Cho's Master's thesis. His thesis has been published as a book by VDM Verlag in Germany. Dongwook's related work was also chosen as one of the top 20 science and engineering projects in Quebec Universities for the first National Science and Engineering Forum in 2005.
From June 6 till June 13, 2010, the Department will hold a day camp in mathematics and computer science for CEGEP students at the end of their first year. For more details please visit Concordia's CSE 2010 Summer Camp.

During the celebration of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science awards on May 27th, 2008, Dr. Ching Suen was awarded the Lifetime Research Achievement Award as well as the Lifetime Citations Award. Dr. Suen is a world renowned leader in pattern recognition. His work has impacted national and international academic and scientific communities through the publication of 12 books and more than 380 papers in handwriting recognition, document analysis, and computational linguistics. Dr. Suen is the Faculty member with the highest number of citations in the Science Index and is in the Thomson ISI highly cited list of 250 researchers in Engineering. His publications have been widely cited by researchers around the world, and one of his journal publications was cited more than 1,000 times.
AI 2008, the 21st Canadian Conference for Artificial Intelligence will host a poster session dedicated to AI in Education this year. If you have taught a course in Artificial Intelligence or a related topic lately, we would like to know about novel resources, a particularly well-appreciated approach, or ways to engage students, especially bridging the gap between students with prior knowledge and those without in one class.
The posters will be presented in a special session at AI 2008 in Windsor and
archived through the CSCSI Webpage.
Please submit an abstract of at most one page in PDF format to:
