The 2008 International Conference on Communications in Computing (CIC 2008)
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, July 14-17, 2008
The International Conference on Communications in Computing (CIC) focuses on the communication requirements directly induced or required by computing systems. An essential element of modern day distributed and high performance computing systems is the trade-off in the amount of computation versus the amount
of communication performed. Certain applications are inherently communication-intensive. In others, communication steps may be replaceable with local computations and vice versa. At the same time, systems resources may support large communication requirements. In other systems, physical or power constraints may limit the communication support. This conference provides a venue for scholarly publication that explores issues relating to the combined effects of communications and computations in the context of modern
computing systems. Following the recent broadening of the field of parallel and distributed computing, CIC covers all current research endeavors in this field. Submissions are also encouraged from researchers in other areas of computing and from related areas in physics, computer engineering or other areas of study whose work supports the focus of this conference.
CIC 2008 is part of The 2008 World Congress in Computer Science Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (WORLDCOMP'08).
Important

Suggested Topics All submissions should relate to the dual computation and communication focus of the conference. Submissions are organized into one of two tracks with each track emphasizing
either the computational or communication nature of the work. Networking and Communications Track Communication Networks for computing, Communication Protocols for computing, Mobile systems, wireless and optical networks, wireless sensor networks, Computing network management, Internet, Web-based Computing, E-commerce, and Telecommunications in applications, Network security in distributed applications, Ubiquitous systems
Parallel and Distributed Systems
Track Communications in High Performance Computing, Parallel & Distributed Algorithms, Communications in New Computational Paradigms (e.g. optical-, nano-, bio-computing), Parallel, Distributed, Grid, Peer-to-Peer and Cluster-based Computing Interconnection Networks, Computation and Communication Performance Models, Modeling and Simulation of High Performance Systems, Scalable and Interoperable Systems and Associated Standards, Software Systems (e.g. operating system support, middleware, tools),
Reliability and Fault Tolerance in Embedded and Real Time Systems
Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit a draft paper of no more than 7 pages (IEEE style, preferably two-columns, between 10pt and 12pt font size, Times-roman or similar font) to dauriol at oslab dot khu dot ac dot kr . Email submissions in PDF format are preferable (postscript and MS Word are also acceptable). Contact the Chair to arrange for non-email submissions. Papers must not have been previously published or
currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, email address, telephone number, & fax number for each author. The first page should also include the name of the author who will be presenting the paper (if accepted) & a maximum of 5 keywords (reviewers will be selected mostly based on title/keywords).
