                       ***********************

OVERVIEW/SCOPE:

In 2010, AusGrid event was broadened to include all aspects of parallel and
distributed
computing and hence was called as Australasian Symposium on Parallel and
Distributed
Computing (AusPDC). Following a couple of successful events, it comes to
the 12th this
year in the series. In both New Zealand and Australia parallel and
distributed computing
has been recognised as strategic technologies for driving their moves
towards knowledge
economies. A number of projects and initiatives are underway in both
countries in these
areas. There is a natural interest in tools which support collaboration and
access to
remote resources given the challenges of the countries location and sparse
populations.

Topics of interest for the symposium include (but not limited to):

* Cloud computing
* Big Data
* Grid computing
* Cluster computing
* Multicore systems
* Peer-to-peer computing
* GPUs and other forms of special purpose processors
* Service computing and workflow management
* Managing large distributed data sets
* Middleware and tools
* Performance evaluation and modelling
* Interconnection networks
* Performance accelerators
* Problem-solving environments
* Parallel programming models, languages and compilers
* Runtime systems
* Operating systems
* Resource scheduling and load balancing
* Data mining
* Computational Science and Engineering
* Agent-based computing
* Reliability, security, privacy and dependability
* Applications and e-Science
