The ACM International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC)
is the premier annual conference on the design, the implementation, the evaluation, and
the use of parallel and distributed systems for high-end computing. HPDC'12 will take place
in Delft, the Netherlands, a historical, picturesque city that is less than one hour away
from Amsterdam-Schiphol airport. The conference will be held on June 20-22 (Wednesday to
Friday), with affiliated workshops taking place on June 18-19 (Monday and Tuesday).

**** HPDC'12 GENERAL CHAIR ****
Dick Epema, Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands


**** HPDC'12 PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS ****
Thilo Kielmann, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Matei Ripeanu, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada


**** HPDC'12 WORKSHOPS CHAIR ****
Alexandru Iosup, Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands


**** SCOPE AND TOPICS ****
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, and massively multicore systems. Submissions that explore solutions to estimate
and reduce the energy footprint of such systems are particularly encouraged. All papers
will be evaluated for their originality, potential impact, correctness, quality of
presentation, appropriate presentation of related work, and relevance to the conference,
with a strong preference for rigorous results obtained in operational parallel and
distributed systems.

The topics of interest of the conference include, but are not limited to, the following,
in the context of high-performance parallel and distributed computing:

    - Systems, networks, and architectures for high-end computing
    - Massively multicore systems
    - Virtualization of machines, networks, and storage
    - Programming languages and environments
    - I/O, storage systems, and data management
    - Resource management, energy and cost minimizations
    - Performance modeling and analysis
    - Fault tolerance, reliability, and availability
    - Data-intensive computing
    - Applications of parallel and distributed computing


**** PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ****
Authors are invited to submit technical papers of at most 12 pages in PDF format, including
figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM Proceedings Style and
submitted via the conference web site. No changes to the margins, spacing, or font sizes as
specified by the style file are allowed. Accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings, and will be incorporated into the ACM Digital Library. A limited number of
papers will be accepted as posters.

Papers must be self-contained and provide the technical substance required for the program
committee to evaluate their contributions. 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.
