PDPTA 2013 - The 2013 International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications (PDPTA'13)

You are invited to submit a full paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published in printed conference books/proceedings (they will also be available on the web). The proceedings will be processed for indexing into science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each paper. These science citation databases include: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering and Technology, CiteSeerX citation index, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, and other science databases. Like prior years, extended versions of selected papers (about 40%) will appear in journals and edited research books (publishers include: Springer, Elsevier, ...).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Parallel/Distributed applications: Numerical computations/methods, neural networks and fuzzy logic, medicine, remote sensing, computer vision, computer graphics and virtual reality, parallel/distributed databases, banking, financial markets, high-performance computational biology, ...
