AusPDC 2011 - The 9th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed (AusPDC 2011)

The 9th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed (AusPDC 2011) will be held in January, in Perth, Australia in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week, 17-20 January 2011.
Scope of the Symposium
In 2010, AusGrid event was broadened to include all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and hence was called as Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC). Following this successful event, it comes to the 9th this year in the series. 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
Performance accelerators
Problem-solving environments
Parallel programming models, languages and compilers
Runtime systems
Operating systems
Resource scheduling and load balancing
Data mining
Computational Science and Engineering
Agent-based computing
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.

Australasian Computer Science Week
The Australasian Computer Science Week is the annual meeting for computer science researchers and educators held in the Australasian region. It includes the Australasian Computer Science Conference (ACSC), the premiere generalist forum for Australasian computer science academics, as well as several specialist conferences and workshops. Registration for ACSW enables participation in all the ACSW conferences and workshops, including AusPDC 2011.
