IPDPS 2013 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
In 2013, IPDPS will be held along the banks of the Charles River at
the Hyatt Regency Cambridge with great views of the Boston skyline.
The Boston-Cambridge venue offers an exciting multicultural setting
where visitors from around the world mingle in the midst of the
world's premier educational institutions. The Greater Boston
Metropolitan Area with many historic and tourist attractions is easily
navigable by foot and public transit. Return to these pages to see the
full call for papers, and information on workshops, the PhD Forum, and
other events as the full program develops.

**********************************
IPDPS 2013 CALL FOR NEW WORKSHOPS
**********************************
IPDPS workshops, held on the first and last days of the symposium,
provide attendees an opportunity to explore special topics. They also
broaden the content of the week's presentations by extending the
topics of interest beyond those of the main symposium. For more
information on organizing a new workshop and instructions for
submitting a formal proposal, contact the Workshops Chair
(workshops@ipdps.org) before August 1, 2012.

*************************
IPDPS 2013 CALL FOR PAPERS
*************************
SCOPE
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unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed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, scheduling, and load
balancing.

•Applications of parallel and distributed computing, including web
applications, peer-to-peer computing, parallel crowd sourcing, social
network analysis, management of big data, cloud and grid computing,
scientific applications, and mobile computing. Papers focusing on
applications using novel commercial or research architectures, or
discussing scalability toward the exascale level are encouraged.

•Parallel and distributed architectures, including architectures for
instruction-level and thread-level parallelism; petascale and exascale
systems designs; 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 and green computing architectures;
dependable architectures; and performance modeling and evaluation.

•Parallel and distributed software, including parallel and multicore
programming languages and compilers, runtime systems, operating
systems, resource management including green computing, middleware for
grids, clouds, and data centers, libraries, performance modeling and
evaluation, parallel programming paradigms, 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. Selected papers 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 12 single-spaced double-column
pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference
style), including figures, tables, and references.

See style templates for details:
LaTex Package (ZIP)
Word Template (ZIP)

IPDPS will again require submission of abstracts and registration of
papers one week before the paper submission deadline without any late
exceptions (see above). The submission portal will be available by
September 1st.

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 or be under consideration
for another conference or workshop or journal.

IMPORTANT DATES
•Abstracts due.....September 24, 2012
•Submissions due.....October 1, 2012
•Author notification.....December 23, 2012
•Camera-ready due.....February 1, 2013
