The goal of IFIP International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing (NPC 2009) is to establish an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present their excellent ideas and experiences in all system fields of network and parallel computing. The publication will be IEEE Computer Society Proceedings (EI, ISTP, and INSPEC indexed). Selected best papers will be published in some high quality international journals (SCI and EI indexed).

Paper Submission Guidelines

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 8 pages, including tables, figures, references and appendixes, in IEEE CS proceedings 8.5" x 11" Two-Column Format (http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html), with Portable Document Format (.pdf). Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. To submit your paper, follow the link "Submission".
