Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that demonstrate original unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed processing including development of experimental and commercial systems. 

Topic areas of interest include but are not limited to:

• Parallel and distributed algorithms, including communication and synchronization protocols, performance and scalability
• Applications of parallel and distributed computing, including web applications, peer-to-peer computing, grid computing and scientific applications
• Parallel and distributed architectures, including signal and image processors, network processors, other special purpose processors, nontraditional processor technologies, network and interconnect architecture, and performance modeling and evaluation
• Parallel and distributed software, including parallel programming languages and compilers, operating systems, schedulers, runtime, middleware, libraries, programming environments and tools for parallel and distributed computing.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 12 single-spaced pages of text using 12 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. References, figures, tables, etc. may be included in addition to the twelve pages of text.

(Note: Authors need to make sure that the electronically submitted files will print on a PostScript printer that uses 8.5x11 inch paper.) 

Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees. Authors having only e-mail access may send an e-mail message to cfp@ipdps.org for an automatic reply containing detailed instruction for submission. All manuscripts will be reviewed.  

Manuscripts must be received by 11:59 PM Pacific Time, September 28, 2001. Submissions received after the due date or exceeding the length limit may not be considered. Notification of review decisions will be mailed by December 14, 2001. Camera-ready papers will be due January 18, 2002.
