Call for papers for: SME/HPC Special Issue

We would like to inform you about SME/HPC Special Issue’s Call for Paper in the Digital Policy, Regulation and Governance Journal (Emerald Publishing) - The power of High-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs)
With this Special Issue, we aim to critically examine and evaluate not alone SMEs benefits from using HPC infrastructure but also how and why. For this reason, the aim is to attract submissions that look into the development of SMEs’ competencies to fully appreciate, recognise and analyse real-life problems they are dealing with by using publicly available HPC infrastructure to further, and create new, bodies of knowledge.
We invite the submission of original manuscripts that advance empirical, theoretical, and conceptual understanding of using publicly available digital technologies like HPC to support and assist local, regional and national SMEs by accessing important yet expensive HPC technology that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Manuscripts must have substantial implications for theory and practice, and we welcome both empirical papers and conceptual theory development papers, as well as other genres.
As this is a policy-focused special issue, purely computer science papers are not within its scope.
Submission deadline: 16th November 2020
