++++++++++++++++++++++++++
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.
