Caixa Economica Federal ------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ITA Brazil's most selective Engineering school, ITA accepts yearly only about 150 students out of more than 8000 applicants. ITA is one of the few schools in Brazil that recruits students nationally and offers a residential campus where most students and faculty live. All students receive full scholarship from the Brazilian government. ITA's rigorous undergraduate programs are 5 years long and lead directly to professional degrees in Aeronautical, Electronics, Computer, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering. Average scores of ITA Electronics and Computer Engineering students in national comprehensive examinations for graduating engineers have consistently been the highest in Brazil. ITA was founded in 1950 as the initial institute in Brazil's Aerospace Technical Center (CTA), Latin America's largest research center. CTA's planner and ITA's first provost was Richard H. Smith, who previously headed the Aeronautics department at MIT. ITA was the first institution to offer Aeronautical and Electronics Engineering degrees and post-graduate degrees in Brazil. Embraer, now the world's leading regional-jet manufacturer, was spun off from ITA in 1969. ITA/CTA research in the 1970s is also behind Brazil's highly successful renewable-energy program. A majority of cars now sold in Brazil can use ethanol as fuel. ITA pioneered Computer Science in Brazil with the construction of the first computer in 1961 and Tercio Pacitti's best-selling books on numerical methods in the 1960s and 1970s (he would become ITA's provost in 1982). Computer Engineering was organized as an independent ITA department in 1989. ------------------------------------------------------------- FURTHER INFORMATION Conference announcements and updated information will be available at: http://www.ssi.org.br For other information, please send email to the general chair, Jose M.

The meeting place is the Renaissance Long Beach Hotel, which overlooks the Queen Mary and Aquarium of the Pacific and is situated just steps from trendy dining, sandy beach, and boutique shopping. Attractions like Disneyland, Universal Studios, and the Getty Museum are a short drive from Long Beach, and the region north and south of Long Beach - known as the Tech Coast - is home to USC, UCLA, UCI, and UCSD. It is an international setting with village like beach communities and the attractions and resources of Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. Join us to commemorate 21 years of building the IPDPS event and community of computer scientists who meet annually to extend knowledge and understanding in this field. 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.
