23rd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing (PDP 2015)

Call for Paper

23rd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and
Network-Based Processing (PDP 2015) Turku, Finland (March 4-6)

http://www.pdp2015.org/





General Scope:

Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing has undergone impressive
change over recent years. New architectures and applications have rapidly
become the central focus of the discipline. These changes are often a result
of cross-fertilisation of parallel and distributed technologies with other
rapidly evolving technologies. It is of paramount importance to review and
assess these new developments in comparison with recent research
achievements in the well-established areas of parallel and distributed
computing, from industry and the scientific community. PDP 2015 will provide
a forum for the presentation of these and other issues through original
research presentations and will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and new
ideas at the highest technical level.



Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

.        Parallel Computing: massively parallel machines; embedded parallel
and distributed systems; multi- and many-core systems; GPU and FPGA based
parallel systems; parallel I/O; memory organisation.

.        Distributed and Network-based Computing: Cluster, Grid, Web and
Cloud computing; mobile computing; interconnection networks.

.        Big Data: large scale data processing; distributed databases and
archives; large scale data management; metadata; data intensive
applications.

.        Models and Tools: programming languages and environments; runtime
support systems; performance prediction and analysis; simulation of parallel
and distributed systems.

.        Systems and Architectures: novel system architectures; high data
throughput architectures; service-oriented architectures; heterogeneous
systems; shared-memory and message-passing systems; middleware and
distributed operating systems; dependability and survivability; resource
management.

.        Advanced Algorithms and Applications: distributed algorithms;
multi-disciplinary applications; computations over irregular domains;
numerical applications with multi-level parallelism; real-time distributed
applications.

Paper Submission: Prospective authors should submit a full paper not
exceeding 8 pages in the
<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.htm
l> IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt) to the
conference main track or to Special Sessions through the
<http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2015> EasyChair conference
submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdp2015) with
an indication of the main track or the name of the Special Session.

Double-bind review: the paper should not contain authors names and
affiliations; in the reference list, references to the authors' own work
entries should be substituted with the string "omitted for blind review".
