Following the traditions of the previous successful ICA3PP conferences
held in   Hangzhou,   Brisbane, Singapore, Melbourne,  Hong   Kong and
Beijing, the objective of ICA3PP 2008 is to bring together researchers
and practitioners  from academia, industry  and governments to advance
the theories    and    technologies in   parallel    and   distributed
computing. ICA3PP  2008 will be held  on the island  of Cyprus, with a
focus on two broad areas  of parallel and distributed computing, i.e.,
architectures, algorithms and networks, and systems and applications.

Topics of interest include, but will not be limited to:
* Cluster, Distributed & Parallel Operating Systems and Middleware
* Cluster, Grid and Fault-tolerant Computing
* Multi-core Programming and Software Tools
* Distributed Scheduling & Load Balancing
* High-performance Scientific Computing
* Parallel Algorithms
* Parallel Architectures
* Parallel & Distributed Databases
* Parallel I/O Systems & Storage Systems
* Parallel Programming Paradigms
* Performance of Parallel & Distributed Computing Systems
* Tools & Environments for Parallel & Distributed Software Development
* Web Services

Paper Submission Guidelines
---------------------------

Authors are invited  to  submit manuscripts that  demonstrate original
unpublished  research in    all   areas of  parallel   and distributed
computing.

A manuscript  should not exceed 12 pages  in PDF, including tables and
figures.    The submitted  paper  must be  camera-ready  and formatted
according to  the rules of LNCS (for   formatting information refer to
the Springer LNCS web site Information  to Authors section, accessible
also from the  conference  web site).   The PDF version  of your paper
must be submitted  electronically through the  paper submission system
on the conference web site http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/ica3pp08/

Papers will  be reviewed internationally and  selected based  on their
originality, significance,  correctness,  relevance,   and clarity  of
presentation. The conference proceedings   of accepted papers  will be
published in the   Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in   Computer Science
(LNCS) series. Authors of  accepted papers, or  at least one  of them,
are requested  to register and  present their work  at the conference,
otherwise their papers will be  removed from the digital library after
the conference. A select number of distinguished papers, after further
revisions, will also  be invited to submit  for publication in special
issues of various international journals.

Proposals  for tutorial sessions  are   also solicited. Your  proposal
should include  the lecture  outline, assumed background  of audience,
and  vitae of the  presenter. Please send  your  proposals of tutorial
sessions to anu@cs.gsu.edu and/or sizheng@utdallas.edu
