Tutorial Submission
PLEASE NOTE: The Call for Tutorial is closed.
The ISC tutorials are interactive courses that focus on ISC key topics. Renowned experts in high performance computing, machine learning, data analytics, and quantum computing will give attendees a comprehensive introduction to the subject and provide a closer look at specific problems. Tutorials are encouraged to include a “hands-on” component to allow attendees to practice prepared materials.
