CALL FOR POSTERS
Deadline for Submissions
Extended to January 27, 2012
For details, go to www.ipdps.org/ipdps2012/2012_phd_forum.htm

The IPDPS PhD Forum focuses on current graduate students working
toward a PhD in broadly defined areas related to parallel and
distributed processing. This forum at IPDPS offers graduate students
an opportunity to present a research poster describing their ongoing
dissertation to the entire IPDPS conference audience. It is also an
opportunity to discuss their research with experts in academia and
industry during the conference and to make useful contacts regarding
future career opportunities related to their research. Moreover, the
authors may describe their dissertation proposal and preliminary
results in a short paper, which will be published with the proceedings
of the IPDPS Workshops. These papers will be available through the
IEEE Computer Society Digital Library and IEEE Xplore and will be EI indexed.

KEY DATES
27 January 2012 Extended Submission deadline
14 February 2012 Submission of faculty endorsement
22 February 2012 Acceptance notification sent
29 February 2012 Camera-ready papers (up to 4 pages)

TRAVEL AWARD OPPORTUNITY
Participants in the IPDPS PhD Forum will be eligible for TCPP Travel
Grants for student authors at IPDPS 2012 and are encouraged to apply
by the deadline. Application details will be posted by TCPP on the
IPDPS Website in February. Last year, many of the PhD Forum authors
who applied received travel grant support. Note that all student
authors must have registered to be eligible for support, and grants
are made in the form of reimbursement post-conference. Please see the
IPDPS website for more details as they are posted.

IPDPS 2012 CALL FOR PAPERS: SCOPE
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed processing, including the development of experimental or commercial systems. Work focusing on emerging technologies is especially welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Parallel and distributed algorithms, focusing on issues such as: stability, scalability, and fault-tolerance of algorithms and data structures for parallel and distributed systems, communication and synchronization protocols, network algorithms, scheduling, and load balancing.
• Applications of parallel and distributed computing, including web applications, peer-to-peer computing, cloud and grid computing, scientific applications, and mobile computing. Papers focusing on applications using novel commercial or research architectures, or discussing scalability toward the exascale level are encouraged.
• Parallel and distributed architectures, including architectures for instruction-level and thread-level parallelism; petascale and exascale systems designs; special-purpose architectures, including graphics processors, signal processors, network processors, media accelerators, and other special purpose processors and accelerators; impact of technology on architecture; network and interconnect architectures; parallel I/O and storage systems; architecture of the memory hierarchy; power-efficient architectures; dependable architectures; and performance modeling and evaluation.
• Parallel and distributed software, including parallel and multicore programming languages and compilers, runtime systems, operating systems, resource management, middleware for grids and clouds, libraries, performance modeling and evaluation, parallel programming paradigms, and programming environments and tools.
----------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
• Abstracts due September 24, 2011 by 11:59pm EDT (required)
