Call for Workshop proposals at the ICPP 2021 Conference

50th International Conference on Parallel Processing
https://oaciss.uoregon.edu/icpp21/index.php

Parallel and distributed computing is a central topic in science, 
engineering and societal applications. ICPP, the International 
Conference on Parallel Processing, provides a forum for engineers and 
scientists in academia, industry and government to exchange ideas and 
present results of state-of-the-art research in all aspects of parallel 
and distributed computing.

The Workshops Committee of ICPP 2021 welcomes proposals for half or full 
day workshops to be held at ICPP 2021, on topics of interest to ICPP 
2021 attendees. The purpose of these workshops is to create 
opportunities for presenting novel ideas in specific topics of interest, 
creating an specialized forum that may open new opportunities for 
collaboration and discussion.

ICPP 2021 will be held in Chicago (Argonne National Lab), Illinois, USA 
on August 9-12, 2021. The conference will be held in hybrid or virtual 
format. We expect to have more information about the format of ICPP 2021 
by spring 2021.
