PDP 2007 Call for Papers
 15th Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed 
 and Network-based Processing (PDP 2007)
 Naples, Italy, February 7-9, 2007

 http://www.pdp2007.it
 
 The Fifteen Euromicro Conference on Parallel, Distributed and 
 Network-based Processing covers all the fields of high-performance 
 computing, from advances in scientific and engineering applications 
 to new proposals in programming and problem solving environments, 
 models, languages and architectures. The conference provides a forum 
 for presentation of all the issues related to parallel, distributed 
 and network computing. 

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

 Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 5000 words 
 in length and including a 150-200 word abstract. To facilitate an anonymous 
 reviewing process, the first page of the paper should contain only the title 
 and abstract. Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. 
 Best papers will be selected for special issues of Elsevier Journal of Systems 
 Architecture and InderScience International Journal of Computational Science 
 and Engineering. Details for submission of papers are available at 
 http://www.pdp2007.it/sub.html
 
 Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

 - Advanced Applications: scientific and engineering applications, 
    multi-disciplinary and multi-component applications, knowledge and 
    data mining, real-time applications, business applications.

 - Network-based and Internet-based Computing: web computing, cluster 
    computing, grid computing, pervasive computing, data grids, mobile 
    agents, distributed web services, security in distributed systems. 

 - Models and Tools for Programming Environments: performance 
    prediction and analysis, knowledge-based program development, 
    visualization tools, component-based frameworks, scientific libraries, 
    problem solving environments.

 - Distributed Systems: distributed databases, distributed OO systems, 
    middleware, peer-to-peer models for scientific computing, distributed 
    operating systems, distributed file systems, heterogeneous distributed 
    systems, distributed shared-memory systems.

 - Languages, Compilers and Runtime Support Systems: task and data 
    parallel languages, functional and logic languages, 
    object-oriented languages, dependability issues, scheduling and 
    load balancing, task and object migration.

 - Parallel Computer Systems: massively parallel machines, 
    interconnection networks, embedded parallel and distributed systems, 
    fault-tolerance, memory organization, support for parallel I/O

The scope of  PDP 2007 is further expanded with additional themes 
emphasized by the following special sessions:

Next Generation of Web Computing 
Parallel and Distributed Image Processing, Video Processing, and Multimedia 
Pervasive Computing Environments and Services 
Multi-Agent and Bio-Inspired Algorithms and Applications for Distributed Systems 
Modeling, Simulation and Optimization of Peer-to-peer environments
