The IEEE IPDPS 2008 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 full table of contents
(titles and authors) of the CD-ROM and a detailed conference program. The CD-ROM will also include
abstracts of all papers, and the abstracts will be linked from the IPDPS Web prior to the conference.
Please contact the IPDPS 2008 Proceedings Chair, Yuanyuan Yang (ipdps@ece.sunysb.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 2008 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 2008 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 28, 2008 midnight PST.
The camera-ready version of your paper should not be submitted on EDAS.
The following steps must be taken to properly submit your paper to IPDPS 2008.
