IPDPS 2009 Monday, May 25 - Friday, May 29 ROME, ITALY www.ipdps.org
------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing In cooperation with ACM SIGARCH,
IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Architecture, and IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing ---------------------------------------------- Join us in the city of Rome to enjoy a favorite tourist destination, easily accessible from Europe and the Mediterranean. 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. A PhD Forum will be presented on Thursday. For details and updates on all events, visit the IPDPS Website at www.ipdps.org.

IPDPS 2009 Call for Papers Submissions due October 3, 2008 ------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed processing, including the development of experimental or commercial systems.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 algorithms and data structures for parallel and 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. Papers focusing on applications using multicore and/or
GPUs, or discussing scalability to the Petascale level are encouraged.
**Parallel and distributed architectures, including architectures for instruction-level and thread-level parallelism; special-purpose architectures, including graphics processors, signal processors, network processors, media accelerators and other special purpose processors and accelerators; impact of technology on architecture; network and interconnect architectures; parallel I/O and storage systems; architecture of the memory hierarchy; power-efficient architectures; dependable architectures; and performance modeling and evaluation.
**Parallel and distributed software, including parallel programming languages and compilers, runtime systems, operating systems, virtualization, resource management, fault tolerance, middleware, libraries, data mining, scalability, and programming environments and tools
Best Papers 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, single-column pages using 12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures, tables, and references. Please use the standard 1-inch margin. 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. Submission procedures for uploading manuscript are available from the IPDPS Web site. Authors who have e-mail access, but not web access, should send an e-mail
message to cfp@ipdps.org for an automatic reply that will contain detailed instructions for submission of manuscripts. They should also contact the Program Chair at: ipdps09@ipdps.org. Authors who have no electronic access (e-mail or web) should contact the Program Chair at: Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chalmers University of Technology, S-412 96, Goteborg, Sweden.
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 3, 2008, by 11:59 PM, 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 5, 2008 (typically electronically). Camera-ready papers will be due February 15, 2009.

------------------------------------------------- ***IPDPS 2009 CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ------------------------------------------------- IPDPS 2009 will offer a tutorial, open to all attendees, on Tuesday evening. The objective is to provide attendees the opportunity to survey the latest developments in a key emerging area of our field. Proposals are solicited for organizing and presenting this all symposium tutorial. Interested individuals should submit a proposal by November 20, 2008 to the Tutorials Chair Juergen Becker (becker@kit.edu). Visit the IPDPS Website at www.ipdps.org for detailed instructions.
------------------------------------------------- ****TCPP PhD Forum 2009 CALL FOR POSTERS (Held in conjunction with IPDPS 2009; see Web for details) ------------------------------------------------- The TCPP PhD Forum is an opportunity for current graduate students in the broad area of parallel and distributed processing to present posters describing their ongoing dissertation and to discuss their research with experts in academia and industry. To apply for the 2009 Forum, students must submit a 4-page summary of their PhD research or dissertation proposal prior to December 15th (firm deadline). Each submission will have a PhD student as the sole author or as the primary
author with his/her thesis advisor(s) and should contain the following points: description of the problem, of the proposed approach, and of the research methodology adopted; significance of the research and its relevance to parallel and distributed processing in the broader sense (see TCPP Website); related work and their shortcomings; and results obtained so far, remaining objectives and challenges. Submissions will be evaluated by a committee chaired by Yves Robert, ENS Lyon,
and decisions will be sent by January 15, 2009. Successful students may, if they wish, submit a one-page, camera-ready summary, which will appear in the conference proceedings. Students who presented last year are asked not to submit to this year's forum.
