​Call for Paper: 15th Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC2017)


AusPDC 2017 (http://www.ozcom.org/auspdc2017/) will be held in Geelong Australia in conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week<http://acsw2017.deakin.edu.au/>, January 31 - February 3, 2017. (The season of Australian Open is 16 - 29 January 2017)

Scope of the Symposium​

In 2010, AusGrid event was broadened to include all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and hence was called as Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (AusPDC). Following a couple of successful events, it comes to the 15th this year in the series. In both New Zealand and Australia parallel and distributed computing has been recognised as strategic technologies for driving their moves towards knowledge economies. A number of projects and initiatives are underway in both countries in these areas. There is a natural interest in tools which support collaboration and access to remote resources given the challenges of the countries location and sparse populations.

Topics of interest for the symposium include (but not limited to):

  *   Cloud computing
  *   Grid and Cluster computing
  *   Big Data processing and analytics
  *   Data storage, placement and replication
  *   Multi-core systems
  *   Peer-to-peer computing
  *   GPUs and other forms of special purpose processors
  *   Service computing and workflow management
  *   Managing large distributed data sets
  *   Middleware and tools
  *   Performance evaluation and modeling
  *   Datacentre and Interconnection networks
  *   Performance accelerators
  *   Problem-solving environments
  *   Parallel programming models, languages and compilers
  *   Operating systems and runtime systems
  *   Fog/edge computing and software defined networks
  *   Mobile, sensor networks and Internet of things
  *   Resource scheduling and load balancing
  *   Data mining and machine learning
  *   Computational Science and Engineering
  *   Agent-based computing
  *   Reliability, security, privacy and dependability
  *   e-Science and e-Health Applications

The symposium is primarily targeted at researchers from Australia and New Zealand, however in the spirit of parallel and distributed computing, which aims to enable collaboration of distributed virtual organizations, we encourage papers and participation from international researchers.


Paper Submission

The proceedings of the symposium will be published by ACM together with ACSW 2017. Papers should be formatted according to ACM conference paper formatting guidelines ACM SIG Proceedings Templates<http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html/>. The following guidelines must be met for all submissions:

  *   Submissions must be in English.
  *   Submissions must not exceed 10 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers.
  *   Submissions must be in PDF format. Other formats will not be accepted.
  *   Submissions must clearly state the problem being addressed, the goal of the work, the results achieved, and the relation to other work.
  *   Submissions must be original contributions that have not been published previously, nor already submitted to other conferences or journals in parallel with this conference.
  *   Authors must choose the appropriate satellite conference or workshop for your submission

Papers are to be submitted via the ACSW 2017 Easy Chair Submission Site<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsw2017>. Upon logging into the system, please select “New Submission”, then select "Australasian Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing" track and proceed through the steps for submission.
