NPC 2009 - The 6th IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2009)

The 6th IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2009) - http://www.swinflow.org/confs/npc09.

Submission deadline extended to: May 24, 2009

The goal of IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel
Computing (NPC 2009) is to establish an international forum for
researchers and practitioners to present their excellent ideas and
experiences in all system fields of network and parallel computing.
Accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings.

Selected best papers will be published in The Journal of Supercomputing
(Springer, SCI and EI indexed).

Paper Submission Guidelines

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in
English, must not exceed 8 pages, including tables, figures, references
and appendixes, in IEEE CS proceedings 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format
(http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps...), with
Portable Document Format (.pdf). Papers will be selected based on their
originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of
presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment
that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will
register and attend the conference to present the work. To submit your
