The IEEE IPDPS 2007 Proceedings will be a single CD-ROM combining the
proceedings of the main symposium and the workshops. The CD-ROM
will
be "pocketed" in a printed book containing the abstracts of all papers
(symposium and the workshops). Please contact the IPDPS 2007
Proceedings Chair, Shoukat Ali, (ipdps@umr.edu) for any questions.
At least one author of each paper should be registered for the symposium in order for the
paper to be published in the proceedings. Online registration for IPDPS 2007 is available
at www.ipdps.org.
The new IEEE Xplore requirements for PDF will be enforced. All conference articles
submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore must adhere to the IEEE Xplore PDF specification for
compatibility.
IPDPS 2007 has registered for use of a new IEEE tool: IEEE PDF eXpress. IEEE PDF eXpress is a
free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs
(Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore
compatibility (PDF Check function). The IEEE PDF eXpress site contains extensive instructions,
resources, helpful hints, and access to technical support.
The deadline for submission is January 22, 2007 midnight PST.
The following steps must be taken to properly submit your paper to IPDPS 2007.

Use IEEE PDF eXpress to obtain IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF. This is done
either by uploading an existing PDF file for Checking or by uploading one or more source files
for Conversion at IEEE PDF eXpress web page.
A. For each conference paper, click "Create New Title".
B. Enter identifying text for the paper (title is recommended but not
required).
C. Click "Submit PDF for Checking" or "Submit Source Files for
Conversion."
D. Indicate platform, source file type (if applicable), click Browse and
navigate to file, and click "Upload File." You will receive online and email confirmations
of successful upload.
E. You will receive an email with your Checked PDF or IEEE PDF
eXpress-converted PDF attached. If you submitted a PDF for Checking, the email will show if
