ICPADS 2011 will be held in Tainan, Taiwan in December 2011.Tainan is a wonderful historic city in Taiwan that has many places to visit. The conference provides an international forum for scientists, engineers and users to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of parallel and distributed systems. All accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of ICPADS 2011 that will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Parallel and Distributed Applications and Algorithms

ICPADS 2011 will accommodate full-day workshops. These workshops will enable timely important issues to be explored in depth. A workshop proposal should include organizer's contact information, the workshop title, rationale, coverage, how workshop papers will be evaluated, and experience of past workshops on the same or closely related subjects. Plans for journal publication of selected papers are encouraged.
