Topics/Call fo Papers

Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) now permeates most computing activities. The pervasiveness of computing devices containing multicore CPUs and GPUs, including home and office PCs and laptops, is making even common users dependent on parallel processing. Certainly, it is no longer sufficient for even basic programmers to acquire only the traditional sequential programming skills. The preceding trends point to the need for imparting a broad-based skill set in PDC technology at various levels in the educational fabric woven by Computer Science (CS) and Computer Engineering (CE) programs as well as related computational disciplines. However, the rapid changes in computing hardware platforms and devices, languages, supporting programming environments, and research advances, more than ever challenge educators in knowing what to include in the curriculum and what to teach in any given semester or course.
The 3rd workshop invites unpublished manuscripts from individuals or teams from academia, industry, and other educational and research institutes for short and regular papers on topics pertaining to the teaching of PDC topics in the Computer Science and Engineering (and related) curriculum. The emphasis of the second workshop continues to be on the undergraduate education. This effort is in coordination with NSF/TCPP curriculum initiative for CS/CE undergraduates (http://www.cs.gsu.edu/~tcpp/curriculum/index.php).
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Pedagogical issues in PDC
2. Novel ways of teaching PDC topics
3. Models for incorporating PDC topics in core CS/CE curriculum
4. Experience with incorporating PDC topics into core CS/CE courses
