- Parallel and distributed algorithms
- Communications in new computational paradigms (e.g. optical-,
nano-, bio-computing)
- Parallel, distributed, grid, peer-to-peer and cluster-based
Computing
- Interconnection networks
- Computation and communication performance models
- Modeling and simulation of high performance systems
- Scalable and interoperable systems and associated standards
- Software systems (e.g. operating system support, middleware,
tools)
- Reliability and fault tolerance in embedded and real-time
Systems
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Prospective authors are invited to submit their full paper
(about 5 to 7 pages - single space, font size of 10 to 12) to
Dr. Brian d'Auriol ([log in to unmask]) and/or to
Prof. H. R. Arabnia ([log in to unmask]) by Feb. 25, 2008. email
submissions in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable. All reasonable
typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted
papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format
to prepare their papers for publication.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to
7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of
the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, and email address of each author as well as the name
of the conference the paper is being submitted to (ie, CIC'08).
The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author
and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the
content of the paper.
All submissions received as per the above instructions will be
evaluated by the CIC'08 Technical Program Committee and at least
two reviews will be returned to the authors. Papers will be
evaluated for technical merit, contribution, clarity, novelity and
relevance to the conference. The Camera-Ready papers will/may be
reviewed by one person for compliance with required changes.
