Call for Papers of ISPA2010

Introduction

ISPA 2010 is the ninth in this series of conferences started in 1993 that are devoted to algorithms and architectures for parallel and distributed processing with applications. ISPA 2010 is now recognized as the main regular event of the world that is covering the many dimensions of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial components and systems. As applications of computing systems have permeated in every aspects of daily life, the power of computing system has become increasingly critical. This conference provides a forum for countries around the world to exchange ideas for improving the computation power of existing computing systems.

Following the traditions of previous successful ISPA conferences, ISPA-03 (Aizu, Japan), ISPA-04 (Hong Kong), ISPA-05 (Nanjing, China), ISPA-06 (Sorrento, Italy), ISPA-07 (Niagara Falls, Canada), ISPA-08 (Sydney, Australia) and ISPA-09 (Chengdu, China), the objective of ISPA-10 is to provide a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, research results, and applications about all aspects of parallel and distributed computing and networking. It will feature session presentations, workshops and keynote speeches. ISPA-10 is sponsored by IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and IEEE Computer Society. ISPA 2010 will be held in Taipei, with a focus on two broad areas of parallel and distributed computing. The conference of ISPA 2010 will be organized by the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology.

Submission Information

The conference and workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press to be indexed by EI. Papers not exceed 15 (conf.) or 6 (workshop) pages with free layout style should be submitted via (http://ispa10.csie.ntust.edu.tw/) Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference. Otherwise papers will be removed from IEEE CS digital library. A selection of the best papers will be published in special issues of some SCI/SCIE/EI Indexed journals.
