PDAA 2010 - 2nd International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Algorithms and Applications (PDAA)

2nd International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Algorithms and Applications (PDAA)
to be held in conjunction with ICNC'10, Higashi Hiroshima, Japan, November 17-19, 2010

Bridging Theory and Practice in Parallel and Distributed Computing

The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques and research in the field of parallel and distributed algorithms and applications. The workshop is meant to bridge research of theory and practice in all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. We are convinced that the workshop atmosphere will be conducive to open and mutually beneficial exchanges of ideas between the participants of these areas.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
Theory and Algorithms
Parallel and distributed algorithms, Hardware algorithms, Graph-theoretic concepts in parallel and distributed computing, Geometric and graph algorithms, Complexity theory in parallel and distributed computing, Parallel and distributed computing models, Network routing and communication algorithms, Combinatorial algorithms, Randomized and approximation techniques, Cellular Automata

Parallel and Distributed Computing
DNA Computing, Membrane Computing, Quantum Computing, Internet Computing, Wireless networks and mobile computing, Internet computing, Reconfigurable Computing, Internet Computing, Optical Computing

Practical Aspects and Applications
Parallel computing systems, Supercomputing, Cluster computing, Grid Computing, Parallel/distributed architectures, P-to-P networks, Performance analysis and simulation, PVM/MPI, CUDA/GPGPU, Multi-core processors, Programmable logic arrays, Reconfigurable Architectures, Image Processing, Security Issues

Submission Instruction
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an electronic version of an original, unpublished manuscript in PDF using EasyChair by July 10, 2010. If you do not have an EasyChair account, you must be created it first. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 6 pages using IEEE two-column format. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to register, attend the workshop, and present the paper.

Accepted and presented papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Service and archived to IEEE Xplore and CSDL digital libraries. Also they are arranged for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services.

Special Issues
We paln to publish full versions of selected papers from PDAA'10 in IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems(IEICE-ED) and International Journal of Networking and Computing(http://ijnc.org/).
