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@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@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@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@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.
BEST PAPER AWARDS - Awards will be given for one best paper in each of the four conference technical tracks: algorithms, applications, architectures, and software. The selected papers also will be considered for possible publication in a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing.
WHAT/WHERE TO SUBMIT - Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 15 single-spaced pages using 12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures, tables, and references. --Please use the standard 1-inch margin.-- Authors may submit additional material as an appendix to their submission, but there is no guarantee that this material will influence the review process. Files should be submitted in PDF format. Authors must ensure that electronically submitted files are formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper. Authors who have e-mail access, but not web access, should send an e-mail message to cfp@ipdps.org for an automatic reply that will contain detailed instructions for submission of manuscripts. They should also contact the Program Chair at: ipdps07@ipdps.org. Authors who have no electronic access (e-mail or web) should contact the Program Chair at: Department of Computer Science and Engineering The Ohio State University 2015 Neil Avenue, Dreese Lab #395 Columbus, OH 43210-1277, USA
REVIEW OF MANUSCRIPTS - All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted papers may NOT have appeared in, nor be under consideration for, another conference or workshop, nor for a journal. Manuscripts must be received by October 9, 2006, by 12:00 midnight, U.S. Eastern Daylight Time. This is a final, hard deadline; to ensure fairness, no extensions will be given. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by December 11, 2006 (typically electronically). Camera-ready papers will be due January 22, 2007.
