AusPDC 2010 - 8th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC 2010)

The 8th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed (AusPDC 2010) will be held in January, in Brisbane, Australia in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week, 18-22 January 2010.

Scope of the SymposiumAusGrid event has been broadened to include all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and hence it will be called as Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC) from 2010. In both New Zealand and Australia parallel and distributed computing has been recognised as strategic technologies for driving their moves towards knowledge economies. A number of projects and initiatives are underway in both countries in these areas. There is a natural interest in tools which support collaboration and access to remote resources given the challenges of the countries location and sparse populations.

Topics of interest for the symposium include but not limited to:

Multicore
GPUs and other forms of special purpose processors
Cluster computing
Grid computing
Cloud computing
Peer-to-peer computing
Service computing and workflow management
Managing large distributed data sets
Middleware and tools
Performance evaluation and modeling
Problem-solving environments
Parallel programming models, languages and compilers
Runtime systems
Operating systems
Resource scheduling and load balancing
Data mining
Reliability, security, privacy and dependability
Applications and e-Science
The symposium is primarily targeted at researchers from Australia and New Zealand, however in the spirit of parallel and distributed computing, which aims to enable collaboration of distributed virtual organizations, we encourage papers and participation from international researchers.

A best paper award sponsored by Manjrasoft Pty. Ltd, Australia will be presented to a paper receiving the highest quality rating. In addition, a special issue in a high quality international journal will be organized for selected best papers.
