PAAP 2012 - IEEE International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Programming

Following the successful PAAP’08 in Hefei Anhui, PAAP’09 in Nanning Guangxi, PAAP’10 in Dalian Liaoning, and PAAP’11 in Tianjin, the Fifth International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Programming (PAAP’12) will be held in Taipei, Taiwan during December 17-20, 2012. The PAAP’12 aims at addressing advances in research on parallel computing and information security, covering topics from theoretic studies to technology issues and applications. The conference is to provide a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to present their research results and development activities in all aspects of computer engineering and it also provides opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration, especially. We devoutly wish participants to learn the basic theory of a gradual approach, practical experimental data, new business models, and the latest academic trends from this conference.
PAAP’12 is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society (Taipei Section). The conference of PAAP’12 will be organized by the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST). NTUST is located in Taipei city very close to the 101 building, the building ranked officially as the world's tallest from 2004 until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010; also it is in the vicinity of the National Palace Museum, which houses hundreds of thousands of Chinese antiques and art works.
