CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
Workshop on Scheduling for Parallel Computing (SPC) will be held in
conjunction with PPAM 2026.

The field of scheduling parallel computations is constantly evolving
because parallel processing platforms are continuously changing.
Also the concept what a parallel application is alters. The SPC
workshop is intended to be a forum for exchanging ideas in the field
of scheduling with a special focus on parallel and distributed computing.

Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):

* cluster, grid, cloud, heterogeneous platforms scheduling
* scheduling for large scale distributed data processing
* scheduling for machine learning and
* machine learning for scheduling
* deterministic scheduling theory
* divisible load theory, bag of task scheduling
* scheduling task graphs and workflows
* load balancing
* new scheduling models
* scheduling with energy, power and cost constraints
* scheduling workload measurement and modeling
* scheduling algorithms as performance models
* scheduling in general, beyond parallel computing.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
================
* The rules of PPAM conference apply. In particular:
* Papers should not exceed 15 pages (LNCS style).
* Submit papers as PDF file to EasyChair (look for SPC track).
* Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific
merit, relevance to the workshop topics, originality, correctness and
quality of presentation.
* Only papers presented at the workshop will be published after the
conference in the Springer-Verlag LNCS series. Abstracts of the accepted
paperswill be available during the conference as a brochure.
* Authors of the best papers, selected by the Program Committee, will be
invited to submit extended versions of their work to special issues of
journals with Impact Factor (Future Generation Computer Systems;
Int. Journal of High Performance Computing Applications; Journal of
Parallel and Distributed Computing).
