TC6 Chairmanship
by Radford, Peter 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

It is my intention to produce the minutes of the recent TC6 meeting in much less time than I took to produce the minutes of the last couple of meetings. However, we have an English saying: "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" and one matter needs urgent attention. Otto Spaniol is coming to the end of his current period of 3 years as TC chairmen. Even if Otto wishes to continue as chairman, under IFIP rules there has to be an election. We propose to conduct this election in a similar fashion to the last election held in 2003. Anyone who wishes to be a candidate for election as chairman will be required to submit their name and a position statement to André Danthine before the end of October 2006. This will allow is to conduct a vote in November, if a vote is necessary. André Danthine will send out further details in a few days.

02 Oct '06

---------------------------------------------------------------------- We apologize if you received multiple copies of this Call for Papers. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IPDPS 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS MARCH 26-30, 2007 LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, USA SPONSORED BY IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY 21st IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium Monday, 26th March - Friday, 30th March 2007 Renaissance Long Beach Hotel Long Beach, California USA www.ipdps.org Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing In cooperation with ACM SIGARCH, IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Architecture, and IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing IMPORTANT DATES October 9, 2006 .... Final Deadline for Manuscripts December 11, 2006 ...Review Decisions Mailed January 22, 2007 ....Camera-ready Papers Due IPDPS 2007 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IPDPS serves as a forum for engineers and scientists from around the world to present their latest research findings in the fields of parallel processing and distributed computing. The five- day program will follow the usual format of contributed papers, invited speakers, panels, tutorials, and commercial participation mid week, framed by workshops held on the first and last days; this year in Long Beach that will be Monday and Friday. Visit IPDPS Web site for regular updates, including the advance program, registration, and accommodations. Send general email inquiries to info(a)ipdps.org. WORKSHOPS IPDPS workshops - held on the first and last days - provide attendees an opportunity to explore special topics and are a major part of the IPDPS weeklong family of events. Each workshop has its own requirements and schedule for submissions and all are linked from the IPDPS Web site. Workshops planned for IPDPS 2007 in Long Beach are posted on the IPDPS Web at www.ipdps.org. We encourage you to explore the many opportunities presented by the range and diversity of topics covered by the workshops. Attendance at all of the IPDPS workshops, along with receipt of their proceedings, is included in the registration fee for IPDPS. There is no separate registration fee for individual workshops. Workshop papers are published in the same printed abstract volume and CD-ROM proceedings as the main conference. The goal of the workshops is to present work that is more preliminary and cutting-edge, or that has more practical content than the more mature research presented in the main symposium. The workshops also broaden the content of the week's presentations by extending the topics of interest beyond those of the main symposium. At the same time, they deepen the week's content by focusing on specific topics and bringing together a critical mass of researchers in their select areas. COMMERCIAL PARTICIPATION There are three exciting forums available for commercial participants to showcase their technologies at IPDPS 2006: 1. Give a presentation in a special Commercial Track, which includes publication of a technical article in the proceedings of the symposium (requires registration by January 22, 2007). 2. Offer an evening Commercial Tutorial to provide orientation and training to symposium participants interested in using and/or learning more about your technology. 3. Participate in three days of Commercial Exhibits by having a booth where your company can promote awareness about its recent technological advances in a "walk-up-and-talk" setting with a diverse audience. Participants in one or more of the above events will be designated as Commercial Sponsors and will have their company logo linked on the IPDPS home page and included in all conference publications. For more detailed information and to reserve your spot, contact the Commercial Chair Nalini Venkatasubramanian (nalini(a)ics.uci.edu) preferably before January 22, 2007. Online registration will be available by December 2006. BIRDS-OF-A-FEATHER These are informal sessions in which a group of researchers can gather for discussions on a topic of mutual interest. BOF space will be available early in the evening and a typical BOF session will last one to two hours. We'll provide the space, you provide the topic and gather the people. Please reserve space in advance by contacting the General Vice Chair Jie Wu (jie(a)cse.fau.edu). Reservations should be made by the end of January 2007. BOF sessions will be advertised in advance of the meeting on the IPDPS web site and can be linked to a BOF announcement web page. The goal of the BOF sessions is to encourage new collaborations and research directions, to inspire educational initiatives, and to nurture the development of new workshop proposals and other initiatives and interactions within our community. TUTORIAL IPDPS 2007 will offer a half-day symposium tutorial, open to all attendees, with the objective of surveying the latest developments in a key emerging area of our field. Proposals are solicited for organizing this tutorial and should be submitted by November 15, 2006 to the Tutorials Chair Sushil K. Prasad (sprasad(a)gsu.edu). The proposal should include (i) the tutorial title and a brief abstract, (ii) the intended audience (briefly addressing why it will have wide-spread appeal to a large cross-section of the IPDPS attendees), (iii) a detailed bulleted outline of the tutorial content and schedule, (iv) the tutorial speaker(s) with their brief biographical sketch and affiliations, and (v) one contact person. The tutorial that has the most relevance, timeliness, and broadest appeal will be given highest preference. IPDPS 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed processing, including the development of experimental or commercial systems. Work focusing on emerging technologies is especially welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Parallel and distributed algorithms, focusing on issues such as: stability, scalability, and fault tolerance of distributed systems, communication and synchronization protocols, network algorithms, and scheduling and load balancing. * Applications of parallel and distributed computing, including web applications, peer-to-peer computing, grid computing, scientific applications, and mobile computing. * Parallel and distributed architectures, including shared memory, distributed memory (including petascale system designs, and architectures with instruction-level and thread-level parallelism), special-purpose models (including signal and image processors, network processors, other special purpose processors), nontraditional processor technologies, network and interconnect architecture, parallel I/O and storage systems, system design issues for low power, design for high reliability, and performance modeling and evaluation. * Parallel and distributed software, including parallel programming languages and compilers, runtime systems, operating systems, resource management, middleware, libraries, data mining, and programming environments and tools.
