IPDPS 2017 Call For Papers
---------------------------------------
August 22, 2016 release

31st IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
May 29 – June 2, 2017
Orlando, Florida USA
http://www.ipdps.org/ipdps2017/2017_call_for_papers.html

... Abstracts due October 18, 2016 AOE
... Submissions due October 23, 2016 AOE

*** SCOPE: ***
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original
unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed
processing, including the development of experimental or commercial
systems. Work focusing on emerging technologies and interdisciplinary
work covering multiple IPDPS areas are especially welcome. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

* Parallel and distributed algorithms, focusing on topics such as:
numerical and combinatorial parallel algorithms for analysis, machine
learning and simulation; parallel algorithms for accelerators,
neuromorphic architectures, and other non-traditional systems;
algorithms for cloud computing; power-aware parallel algorithms;
streaming algorithms; domain-specific parallel and distributed
algorithms; performance modeling and analysis of parallel and
distributed algorithms; run-time algorithms and protocols for resource
management, communication and synchronization on parallel and
distributed systems.

* Applications of parallel and distributed computing, including
computational and data-enabled science and engineering, big data
applications, parallel crowd sourcing, large-scale social network
analysis, management of big data, cloud and grid computing,
scientific, biological and medical applications, and mobile computing.
Papers focusing on applications using novel commercial or research
architectures, big data approaches, or discussing scalability toward
the exascale level are encouraged.

* Parallel and distributed architectures, including architectures for
instruction-level and thread-level parallelism; memory technologies
and memory hierarchy architectures; exascale systems designs; data
center architectures; novel big data architectures; special purpose
architectures, including graphics processors, signal processors,
network processors, media accelerators, neuromorphic systems, and
other special purpose processors and accelerators; impact of
technology on architecture; network and interconnect architectures;
parallel I/O and storage systems; power-efficient and green computing
systems; resilience and dependable architectures; and performance
modeling and evaluation.

* Parallel and distributed software, including parallel and multicore
programming languages and compilers, runtime systems, operating
systems, resource management including, middleware for supercomputers,
grids, clouds, and data centers, libraries, performance modeling and
evaluation, parallel programming paradigms, and programming
environments and tools. Papers focusing on novel software systems for
big data and exascale systems are encouraged.

Papers that cross the boundaries of the four traditional tracks of
IPDPS (Algorithms, Applications, Architecture and Software) are
encouraged and will receive special attention. During submission,
authors can indicate up to three subject areas that can come from any
track.

*** BEST PAPERS AWARDS: ***
The program committee will nominate papers for recognition in several
categories including the four conference topic areas as well as best
multidisciplinary paper and will consider other paper attributes that
merit recognition from the conference. The five top best papers will
be selected for presentation and the others will receive honorable
mention in the conference program.

*** WHAT/WHERE TO SUBMIT:
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced
double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages
(IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references.
See the IPDPS website for LaTex/Word templates.

IPDPS will again require submission of abstracts and registration of
papers one week before the paper submission deadline without any late
exceptions. Files should be submitted by following the instructions
available at the EDAS portal. Authors must ensure that electronically
submitted files are formatted in PDF format for 8.5 x 11 inch paper.
The submission portal will be available by September. Return to this
site to submit your abstract and upload your submission.

*** REVIEW OF MANUSCRIPTS: ***
All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed. Submissions will be judged
on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance,
potential impact, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance
to the conference scope. Submitted papers should NOT have appeared in
or be under consideration for another conference, workshop or journal.

Questions may be sent to PC2017 at ipdps.org. Abstracts are due October
18, 2016 and fullmanuscripts must be received by October 23, 2016.
This is a final, hard deadline; to ensure fairness, no extensions will
be given. There will be a one week review feedback and author response
period from November 28th to December 5th. Notification of final
decisions will be mailed by January 8, 2017, and camera-ready papers
will be due February 15, 2017.

accepted up to end of day ANYWHERE ON EARTH.
