Topics of interest include, but are not<br>limited to:<br><br>- parallel and distributed algorithms<br>- parallel and distributed data structures<br>- green computing & power-efficient architectures<br>- management of massive data sets<br>- parallel complexity theory<br>- parallel and distributed architectures<br>- multi-core architectures<br>- instruction level parallelism and VLSI<br>- compilers and tools for concurrent programming<br>- supercomputing architecture and computing<br>- transactional memory hardware and software<br>- game theory and collaborative learning<br>- routing and information dissemination<br>- resource management and awareness<br>- peer-to-peer systems<br>- mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks<br>- robustness, self-stabilization, and security<br>- synergy of parallelism in algorithms, programming, and architecture<br><br>Conference presentations will have two formats:<br><br>Regular presentations will be allotted a 25-minute talk and up to 10<br>pages in the proceedings. This format is intended for contributions<br>reporting original research, submitted exclusively to this conference.<br><br>Brief announcements will be allotted a 10-minute talk and a 2-page<br>abstract in the proceedings. This format is a forum for brief<br>communications, which may be published later in other conferences.<br><br>Every regular paper is eligible for the best paper award. The program<br>committee may decline to make this award or may split the award among<br>multiple papers.<br><br>Submission:<br><br>Authors of contributed papers are encouraged to submit their manuscript<br>electronically. To submit electronically, visit <a href="http://www.spaa-conference.org">http://www.spaa-conference.org</a><br>for instructions. This is the preferred method of submission. Authors unable<br>to submit electronically should contact the program chair Kunal Agrawal at <br><a href="mailto:kunal@wustl.edu">kunal@wustl.edu</a> to receive instructions on how to proceed.<br><br>Submissions for regular presentations should include an introduction<br>understandable to a nonspecialist including motivation and previous work, and<br>a technical exposition directed to a specialist. A submission should not<br>exceed 10 double-column pages in 9-point font, including figures, tables, and <br>references. More details may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix to<br>be read at the discretion of the program committee. A submission for brief<br>announcements should be no longer than two double-column pages in 9-point<br>font. <br><br>Rebuttal Period:<br><br>There will be a rebuttal period in which the authors can point out<br>misunderstandings or comment on critical questions that PC members may have.<br>The rebuttal period will take place on March 4-5.<br><br>======================================================<br><br>Program Committee:<br><br>Umut Acar, Carnegie Mellon University<br>Grey Ballard, Sandia National Labs<br>Petra Berenbrink, Simon Fraser University<br>Dave Dice, Oracle Labs<br>Jeremy Fineman, Georgetown University<br>Pierre Fraigniaud, University of Paris 7<br>Seth Gilbert, National University of Singapore<br>Rachid Guerraoui, EPFL<br>MohammadTaghi HajiAghayi, University of Maryland<br>Maurice Herlihy, Brown University<br>Martin Hoefer, MPI Saarbrücken<br>Peter Kling, University of Pittsburgh<br>Bradley Kuzsmaul, MIT<br>Angelina Lee, Washington University in St. Louis<br>Ryan Newton, Indiana University<br>Gopal Pandurangan, University of Houston<br>Michael Spear, Lehigh University<br>Cliff Stein, Columbia University<br>Kanat Tangwongsan, Mahidol University<br>Sivan Toledo, Tel Aviv University<br>Uzi Vishkin, University of Maryland<br><br><br>======================================================<br><br>Conference Committee:<br><br>Program Chair<br>Kunal Agrawal, Washington University in St. Louis<br><br>General Chair<br>Guy Blelloch, Carnegie Mellon University<br><br>Secretary<br>Christian Scheideler, University of Paderborn<br><br>Treasurer<br>David Bunde, Knox College<br><br>Publicity Chair<br>Jeremy Fineman, Georgetown University</body></html>
