19th ACM International Symposium on
High Performance Distributed Computing

Chicago, Illinois
June 21-25, 2010

hpdc2010.eecs.northwestern.edu

The ACM International Symposium on High Performance Distributed
Computing (HPDC) is the premier venue for presenting the latest
research on the design, implementation, evaluation, and use of
parallel and distributed systems for high performance and high end
computing. The 19th installment of HPDC will take place in the heart
of the Chicago, Illinois, the third largest city in the United States
and a major technological and cultural capital. The conference will be
held on June 23-25 (Wednesday through Friday) with affiliated
workshops occurring on June 21-22 (Monday and Tuesday).

Submissions are welcomed on all forms of high performance distributed
computing, including grids, clouds, clusters, service-oriented
computing, utility computing, peer-to-peer systems, and global
computing ensembles. New scholarly research showing empirical and
reproducible results in architectures, systems, and networks is
strongly encouraged, as are experience reports of applications and
deployments that can provide insights for future high performance
distributed computing research.

All papers will be rigorously reviewed by a distinguished program
committee, with a strong focus on the combination of rigorous
scientific results and likely high impact within high performance
distributed computing. Research papers must clearly demonstrate
research contributions and novelty while experience reports must
clearly describe lessons learned and demonstrate impact. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to) the following, in the
context of high performance distributed computing and high end
computing:

* Systems
* Architectures
* Algorithms
* Networking
* Programming languages and environments
* Data management
* I/O and file systems
* Virtualization
* Resource management, scheduling, and load-balancing
* Performance modeling, simulation, and prediction
* Fault tolerance, reliability and availability
* Security, configuration, policy, and management issues
* Multicore issues and opportunities
* Models and use cases for utility, grid, and cloud computing

Both full papers and short papers (for poster presentation and/or
demonstrations) may be submitted.

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper Abstract submissions: January 15, 2010
Paper submissions: January 22, 2010
Author notification: March 30, 2010
Final manuscripts: April 23, 2010

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 12 pages or short
papers of at most 4 pages. The page limits include all figures and
references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM proceedings style
(e.g., http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).
Reviewing is single-blind. Papers must be self-contained and provide
the technical substance required for the program committee to evaluate
the paper's contribution, including how it differs from prior
work. All papers will be reviewed and judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, quality of
presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference. Submitted
papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under
consideration for another conference or a journal. There will be NO
DEADLINE EXTENSIONS.

PUBLICATION

Accepted full and short papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

WORKSHOPS

A separate call for workshops is available. The deadline for workshop
proposals is November 2, 2009.
