[Beowulf] HPDC 2006 Hot Topics and Regular Papers

[Douglas L Thain]

Note: This is the final call for papers.
My apologies if your have received several copies.

Contents:
A - Call for Hot Topics Papers due February 26, 2006
B - Call for Regular Papers due January 9, 2006

----CALL FOR SHORT REPORTS in the HOT TOPICS SESSION-------

Note: this call is for a special session featuring only short reports.
Authors should consider the traditional HPDC technical track to
submit "normal size papers".

The Fifteenth IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance
Distributed Computing (HPDC) will be a forum for presenting the latest
research findings on the design and use of parallel and distributed
systems for high end computing, collaboration, data analysis, and
other innovative applications.

This year HPDC will feature an exciting new segment of the program
that is devoted to emerging ideas that might not be ready for
publication in the traditional technical track. This "Hot Topics"
session solicits work-in-progress reports and ideas that are promising
but speculative. Please take advantage of this opportunity to presage
the future of High-Performance Distributed Computing!

Submissions will be peer-reviewed based on originality and potential
impact. Submissions should not exceed two pages.

Paper Submissions       February 22, 2006
Author notification     March 22, 2006
Final Manuscripts due   April 22, 2006

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fifteenth IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Distributed
Computing (HPDC) will be a forum for presenting the latest research
findings on the design and use of parallel and distributed systems for high
end computing, collaboration, data analysis, and other innovative
applications. Submissions are welcomed covering all aspects of high-
performance distributed computing, Grids, and global computing ensembles.
New scholarly research emphasizing empirical and reproducible results as
well as investigative expositions of successful application and deployment
efforts are particularly encouraged.

All papers will be rigorously reviewed by a distinguished international
review committee, with a strong focus on the combination of rigorous
scientific results and practical impact. Topics of interest include (but
are not limited to):

-Grid middleware
-Service architectures
-Resource management, scheduling and load-balancing
-Data Management and Transport
-Virtualization for HPDC systems
-HPDC applications
-Parallel and distributed algorithms
-Software environments, programming frameworks & language/compiler support
-Workflow management
-High performance I/O and file systems
-Performance modeling, simulation, and prediction
-Fault tolerance, reliability and availability for HPDC applications
-Software/hardware/architecture for high speed communication andnetworking
-Security, configuration, policy, and management issues
-Operating system technologies for high performance computing
-Multimedia, teleimmersive, and collaborative applications
-Terabit networks systems and services

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper abstract submissions: January 09, 2006
Full paper submissions: January 16, 2006
Author notification: March 22, 2006
Final manuscripts due: April 22, 2006

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 10 pages, not
including figures or references. Papers that exceed this length will be
rejected outright. These papers should be written to be self-contained and
to provide the technical substance required for the program committee to
evaluate the paper's contribution. All manuscripts will be reviewed and
judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance,
quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference.

Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for
another conference or a journal, nor may they be under review or submitted
to another forum during the HPDC-15 review process.

Papers should be submitted electronically (PDF or postscript) via the HPDC
2006 conference web site at http://www.hpdc.org, and should use IEEE CS
format. Appropriate style files can be found at:
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/.

Please note that, as with previous HPDC conferences,
there will NO EXTENSIONS on the paper submission deadlines.

PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will appear in proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society
Press, which will be distributed at the conference.
