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 at 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 at 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 at 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 at 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 at ipdps.org for an automatic reply that 
will contain detailed instructions for submission of manuscripts. They 
should also contact the Program Chair at: ipdps07 at 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.
