<div>Instructions for Special Issue on Advances in Parallel and High Performance Computing for Artificial Intelligence Applications (HPML2019)</div>
<div>This Special Issue on Advances in Parallel and High Performance Computing for Artificial Intelligence Applications invites innovative research work on themes related to the interplay of High Performance Computing (HPC), Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The objective of this special issue is to bring together the HPC and AI/ML communities to present their applications and solutions to performance issues, and to present how AI/ML can be used to solve HPC problems. This is an open call for contributions. Besides, best papers from the High Performance Machine Learning Workshop (HPML2019) held with CCGrid2019 will be selected and their authors invited to submit extended versions with at least 50% of new material to be considered for this special issue.</div>
