Hi David,

If you could push this through some PP lists it would be much
appreciated. If you have some ideas for a paper....

CALL FOR PAPERS: HPDC-11
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HPDC-11: The International Symposium on Grid Computing
July 24 - 26, 2002

in conjunction with

Global Grid Forum (GGF)-5
July 22 - 24, 2002
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Conference:
The HPDC symposium series has emerged as a leading technical conference in
the growing and important field of Grid computing. This, the 11th meeting
in the series, will be held for the first time outside the U.S., and for
the first time in conjunction with the Global Grid Forum, the international
body formed in 1998 to promote communication, best practices, and standards
in Grid computing. HPDC-11/GGF-5 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.

The Theme:
The HPDC-11 conference (formally, the 11th 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 computing, including
hardware technologies, middleware, network services, and tools and
languages that support application development. Case studies describing
novel applications are also of interest. All papers will be rigorously
reviewed by a distinguished international review committee.

Topics of Interest (include, but are not limited to):
-Software environments and language support for Grid computing
-Applications and case studies of Grid computing
-Parallel and distributed algorithms to solve computationally and
data-intensive problems in networked environments
-Multimedia, teleimmersive, and collaborative applications
-Data Grids
-High performance I/O and file systems
-Security, configuration, policy, and management issues
-Fault tolerance
-Architectural support for high-speed communications or interconnection
networks
-Efficient communication interfaces for distributed computing
-Terabit network architectures.

Paper Submissions:
Authors are requested to submit extended abstracts of at most 3000 words,
not including figures or references. Abstracts should be written so as to
be self contained and to provide the technical substance required for the
program committee to evaluate the paper's contribution. Excessively long
abstracts will be rejected outright. Papers submitted to or published in
another reference or journal are ineligible for this conference.

Abstracts must be submitted by February 22, 2002 (note: deadline has been
extended from previous call). Electronic submission is preferred; see
http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/~gannon/hpdc/hpdc11.html for details.
Authors will be notified by April 10, 2002, and final camera-ready copies
are due by May 8, 2002.

Tutorial Submissions:
Tutorial proposals should be submitted to the Tutorials Chair by March 4,
2002: Rich Wolski, [log in to unmask]

Exhibits and Technical Demonstrations:
Proposals for exhibits and technical demonstrations should be submitted to
Randy Bramley, [log in to unmask], by May 1, 2002. Proposals should
include a 2-4 page definition and description of each exhibit /
demonstration.

About Edinburgh:
See http://www.eicc.co.uk/edinburgh/ for information about the Edinburgh
International Convention Center.
A unique combination of heritage, colour and culture, this is a city of
breathtaking beauty. The quaint corners and alleyways of the Old Town, the
Georgian splendor of Charlotte Square, the dominating presence of the
castle: all different, all unforgettable, all essentially Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is once again home to Scotland's parliament and excitement is in
the air. Edinburgh is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with mountains,
glens, lochs and wild places only a short journey away. There are more
distilleries and castles than you can possibly visit, and more single malts
than you can possibly drink. Archaeological sites date back about 4000
years.
