HPDC 13
June 4 - 6, 2004
Honolulu, Hawaii USA

The Thirteenth IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Distributed Computing will be a forum for presenting the latest research findings on the design and use of highly networked systems for computing, collaboration, data analysis, and other innovative tasks.

Submissions are encouraged on all aspects of Grid and high performance distributed computing. Case studies describing novel applications are also of interest. A more complete list of topics is included below. All papers will be rigorously reviewed by a distinguished international review committee, with a particular emphasis on scientific results having practical impact.

HPDC-13 will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii (USA) in conjunction with the 11th Global Grid Forum Meeting, the international body to promote communication, best practices, and standards in Grid computing. HPDC-13/GGF-11 will together provide a global meeting place for those interested in Grid computing technologies and applications. A joint program of tutorials and keynote talks will highlight major themes and recent developments in the field.

Paper Submission Deadline: February 2004
Authors are requested to submit technical papers of at most 5000 words, not including figures or references. These papers should be written to be self-contained and to provide the technical substance required for the program committee to evaluate the paper’s contribution. Papers that exceed this length will be rejected outright.

Papers submitted to or published in another conference or journal are ineligible for this conference.

Topics of interest (but not limited to):

Software environments and language support for Grid computing

Applications studies using Grid computing

Parallel and distributed algorithms to solve computationally and data intensive problems on Grids

Multimedia, teleimmersive, and collaborative applications

Clusters

Data Grids

Peer to Peer (desktop PC Grids)

High performance I/O and file systems

Security, configuration, policy, and management issues

Resource management

Fault tolerance

Software/hardware/architectural support for efficient communications
