IPDPS 2006 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unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed processing, 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:

o 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.

o Applications of parallel and distributed computing, including web 
applications, peer-to-peer computing, grid computing, scientific 
applications, and mobile computing.

o 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.

o 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. 
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.

Submission procedures will be available via web access at www.ipdps.org 
sometime after August 1, 2005.  Return here after that date for 
instructions.

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: ipdps06@ipdps.org.

Authors who have no electronic access (e-mail or web) should contact the 
Program Chair at: Department of Computer Science; University of 
Massachusetts Amherst; Amherst, MA 01003, 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 7, 2005, by 5 p.m. U.S. Eastern 
Daylight Time.  This is a final, hard deadline; to ensure fairness, no

IPDPS 2006 LOCATION

The 20th IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium, 
hosted by the Research Academic Computer Technology Institute (CTI, 
Greece), will be held on the Isle of Rhodes in Greece at the Rodos Palace 
Resort Hotel & Convention Center.  Considered a premier European 
conference site, the hotel tower provides spectacular views of gardens and 
the blue Aegean Sea alongside its modern conference facilities. Situated 
on the Mediterranean Sea at the crossroads of two continents, Rodos 
combines the worldliness of Europe with the mystery of the Orient in an 
atmosphere that allows visitors to discover ancient Greek cities, a 
medieval town with its own castle, charming small villages, and sun 
drenched beaches.  Rodos is also one of the most developed islands in the 
Mediterranean, providing every holiday amenity, including a yachting 
harbor, entertaining night life, and casino and sports facilities. The 
Rodos airport has direct flights to major international cities and other 
Aegean islands as well as many daily flights from Athens International 
Airport. With 300 sunny days per year, the island holds the Greek record 
for sunshine, and its remarkably rich legacy in archaeological treasures 
and developed tourism infrastructure make Rodos a very special place to 
gather for IPDPS 2006.  Plan to arrive early and stay late!

IPDPS 2006 WORKSHOPS

Workshops at IPDPS are held on the first and last day of the symposium. 
Next year in Greece that will be Tuesday, April 25th and Saturday, April 
29th.  Workshops are an opportunity to explore special topics, and running 
a workshop in association with IPDPS offers many advantages.  For more 
information on organizing a workshop, contact Workshops Chair Alan Sussman 
(als@cs.umd.edu).  Workshops already planned for 2006 are listed on the 
IPDPS Web at www.ipdps.org.

IPDPS 2006 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. (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.  For more detailed information and to reserve your 
spot, contact one of the Commercial Co-chairs - John K. Antonio 
(antonio@ou.edu) or Theodoros Komninos (komninos@cti.gr) - as early as 
possible but no later than January 1, 2006.

IPDPS 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 
Charles Weems (weems@cs.umass.edu). Reservations should be made by January 
16, 2006.  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.
