For more information on submitting to the CCT Technical Report Series, please click here.

The technical series:

• Increases the visibility and outreach of CCT.
• Allows the publication of technical details that may not be relevant for a journal article.
• Publishes documentation for software produced at CCT.
• Provides a mechanism for short-term visitors to CCT to publish the results of their research here.
• Encourages publications by students that may not yet be at the necessary research level for journal publication.
• Publishes detailed results about benchmarking, profiling, code assurance and testing etc.
• Publishes computational science results that may not give new scientific insight but may be interesting for the community.
• Publishes papers before they officially appear either in a journal or through a peer-reviewed conference.

It is important to note that this series only supplements and does not replace official journals and other forms of publication. For a list of these publications, please click here.
