Call For Papers

The 20th International ACM Symposium on
High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing
http://www.hpdc.org/2011/

San Jose, California, June 8-11, 2011

The ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and 
Distributed
Computing is the premier conference for presenting the latest research 
on the
design, implementation, evaluation, and use of parallel and distributed 
systems
for high end computing. The 20th installment of HPDC will take place in
San Jose, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. This year, HPDC is
affiliated with the ACM Federated Computing Research Conference, 
consisting of
fifteen leading ACM conferences all in one week. HPDC will be held on 
June 9-11
(Thursday through Saturday) with affiliated workshops taking place on 
June 8th
(Wednesday).

Submissions are welcomed on all forms of high performance parallel and
distributed computing, including but not limited to clusters, clouds, 
grids,
utility computing, data-intensive computing, multicore and parallel 
computing.
All papers will be reviewed by a distinguished program committee, with a 
strong
preference for rigorous results obtained in operational parallel and 
distributed
systems. All papers will be evaluated for correctness, originality, 
potential
impact, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the 
conference.

In addition to traditional technical papers, we also invite experience 
papers.
Such papers should present operational details of a production high end 
system
or application, and draw out conclusions gained from operating the 
system or
application. The evaluation of experience papers will place a greater 
weight on
the real-world impact of the system and the value of conclusions to future
system designs.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Applications of parallel and distributed computing.
# Systems, networks, and architectures for high end computing.
# Parallel and multicore issues and opportunities.
# Virtualization of machines, networks, and storage.
# Programming languages and environments.
# I/O, file systems, and data management.
# Data intensive computing.
# Resource management, scheduling, and load-balancing.
# Performance modeling, simulation, and prediction.
# Fault tolerance, reliability and availability.
# Security, configuration, policy, and management issues.
# Models and use cases for utility, grid, and cloud computing.

Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 12 pages in PDF
format, including all figures and references. Papers should be formatted 
in the
ACM Proceedings Style and submitted via the conference web site. Accepted
papers will appear in the conference proceedings, and will be 
incorporated into
the ACM Digital Library.

Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance 
required for
the program committee to evaluate the paper's contribution. Papers should
thoughtfully address all related work, particularly work presented at 
previous
HPDC events. Submitted papers must be original work that has not 
appeared in
and is not under consideration for another conference or a journal. See 
the ACM
Prior Publication Policy for more details.
