Call for Paper IEEE ScalCom 2016

18-21 July 2016, Toulouse France

http://scalcom2016.sciencesconf.org/

Submission deadline: March 11, 2016

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parallel and distributed computing have undergone impressive change over 
recent
years. The whole hardware industry shifted to both multicore and mobile
platforms expanding the arena of communicating devices to an unprecedented
scale. Communication networkshave known great developments and many new
applications in the same time. Scalability has rapidly become one of the 
central
aspect of the disciplines. It is of paramount importance to review and 
assess
these new developments in comparison with recent research achievements 
in the
well-established areas of scalable computing and communications, from 
industry
and the scientific community.
The 16th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and 
Communications
(ScalCom 2016) will provide a forum for the presentation of these and 
other issues
through original research presentations and will facilitate the exchange of
knowledge and new ideas at the highest technical level.

We invite submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully 
developed
results or on-going foundational and applied work relating to all aspects of
scalable computing and communications. The program committee will 
interpret it
very broadly; everything from engineering principles to practical 
experiences on
different levels of a parallel and distributed system. We particularly 
encourage
submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development
communities.
