AIMS & SCOPE

The resolution of complex problems often requires using advanced approximate algorithms and huge computational resources to find accurate solutions in reasonable time. We look for high quality publications proposing soft computing techniques designed for large parallel systems as Grid or Cluster computing. Additionally, works proposing novel soft computing/metaheuristic algorithms applied to solve complex problems in the context of Grid and Cluster computing are of interest too. Therefore, the topics covered by this track include (but are not limited to) the following ones:

Soft computing techniques for real-world problems
Soft computing tools and frameworks for cluster and Grid computing
Competitive parallel algorithms
Cooperative parallel algorithms
Massively parallel algorithms
Parallel metaheuristics
Parallel evolutionary algorithms
Performance measures for Grid and Cluster computing
Reliable algorithms on uncertain environments
Parallel algorithms on GPGPU and Clusters of GPGPUs
Test benchmarks
Peer to peer algorithms
Volunteer computing
Ubiquitous computing
Cloud computing
Grid computing
Parallel optimization frameworks
Metaheuristics for scheduling
Complex and real-world problems

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Authors are invited to submit full papers not more than six (6) pages (CPS proceedings manuscripts: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 pt. font size, and number each page. The formatting instructions for authors are available at the IEEE CPS web page: http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps.
Prepare your paper in PDF file and submit it electronically to the 3PGCIC-2013 web page in EDAS:
The submission link will be updated at a later date.

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and archived in the Digital Library (CSDL, IEEE Xplore, IEEE IEL). Authors will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance.

Authors of the most outstanding contributions will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to The Computer Journal: Special Issue on Parallel Soft Computing Techniques on High Performance Computing Systems (at least 50% of novel scientific contribution is required). The Computer Journal (http://comjnl.oxfordjournals.org/), 2012 Impact Factor: 0.785 (5-Years Impact Factor: 0.943), is one of the longest-established journals serving all branches of the academic computer science community. It is indexed on Scopus, Computer Science Index, Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch), and many others.
