PDAA'10
2nd International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Algorithms and Applications
http://www.cs.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/pdaa/

held in conjunction with

ICNC'10, Higashi Hiroshima, Japan, November 17-19, 2010
http://www.icnc.info/

The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the
exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques and research in
the field of parallel and distributed algorithms and applications.
The workshop is meant to bridge research of theory and practice in
all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. We are convinced
that the workshop atmosphere will be conducive to open and mutually
beneficial exchanges of ideas between the participants of these areas.

[Topics of interest include, but are not limited to]
1. Theory and Algorithms: Parallel and distributed algorithms, Hardware
algorithms, Graph-theoretic concepts in parallel and distributed
computing, Geometric and graph algorithms, Complexity theory in
parallel and distributed computing, Parallel and distributed computing
models, Network routing and communication algorithms, Combinatorial
algorithms, Randomized and approximation techniques, Cellular Automata

2. Parallel and Distributed Computing: DNA Computing, Membrane Computing,
Quantum Computing, Internet Computing, Wireless networks and mobile
computing, Internet computing, Reconfigurable Computing, Internet
Computing, Optical Computing

3. Practical Aspects and Applications: Parallel computing systems,
Supercomputing, Cluster computing, Grid Computing, Parallel/distributed
architectures, P-to-P networks, Performance analysis and simulation,
PVM/MPI, CUDA/GPGPU, Multi-core processors, Programmable logic arrays,
Reconfigurable Architectures, Image Processing, Security Issues

[Submission Instruction]
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an electronic version of an
original, unpublished manuscript in using EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/)
by July 10, 2010. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail
address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 8 pages using
IEEE two-column format. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one
author to register, attend the workshop, and present the paper.

Accepted and presented papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society's
Conference Publishing Service and archived to IEEE Xplore and CSDL digital
libraries. Also they are arranged for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex),
Thomson ISI, and other indexing services.

[Special Issues]
We plan to publish full versions of selected papers from PDAA'10 in IEICE
Transactions on Information and Systems and International Journal of
Networking and Computing.
