====================================================== SPAA 2014 Call for Papers ====================================================== 26th ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA 2014) June 23-25, 2014 Prague, Czech Republic http://www.spaa-conference.org This year, the submissions format differs from recent years. There will also be a rebuttal period. ====================================================== Important Dates: Submission deadlines: - Abstract: January 22, 11:59pm EST - Full versions: January 25, 11:59pm EST Rebuttal period: March 12-16 Notification: March 31 Camera-ready: April 30 ====================================================== Contributed papers are sought in all areas of parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing any computation system that can perform multiple operations or tasks simultaneously. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - parallel and distributed algorithms - parallel and distributed data structures - green computing & power-efficient architectures - management of massive data sets - parallel complexity theory - parallel and distributed architectures - multi-core architectures - instruction level parallelism and VLSI - compilers and tools for concurrent programming - supercomputing architecture and computing - transactional memory hardware and software - the internet and the world wide web - game theory and collaborative learning - routing and information dissemination - resource management and awareness - peer-to-peer systems - mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks - robustness, self-stabilization, and security - synergy of parallelism in algorithms, programming, and architecture Conference presentations will have two formats: Regular presentations will be allotted a 25-minute talk and up to 10 pages in the proceedings. This format is intended for contributions reporting original research, submitted exclusively to this conference. Brief announcements will be allotted a 10-minute talk and a 2-page abstract in the proceedings. This format is a forum for brief communications, which may be published later in other conferences. Every regular paper is eligible for the best paper award. The program committee may decline to make this award or may split the award among multiple papers. Submission: Authors of contributed papers are encouraged to submit their manuscript electronically. To submit electronically, visit http://www.spaa-conference.org for instructions. This is the preferred method of submission. Authors unable to submit electronically should contact the program chair Peter Sanders at [log in to unmask] to receive instructions on how to proceed. Submissions for regular presentations should include an introduction understandable to a nonspecialist including motivation and previous work, and a technical exposition directed to a specialist. A submission should not exceed 10 double-column pages in 10-point font, including figures, tables, and references. More details may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix to be read at the discretion of the program committee. A submission for brief announcements should be no longer than two double-column pages in 10-point font. Rebuttal Period: There will be a rebuttal period in which the authors can point out misunderstandings or comment on critical questions that PC members may have. The rebuttal period will take place on March 12-16. ====================================================== Program Committee: Susanne Albers, Technische Universität München, Germany Gianfranco Bilardi, Padua University, Italy Phillip Gibbons, Intel Labs Pittsburg, USA Martin Hoefer, MPI Informatics Saarbrücken, Germany Dariusz Kowalski, University of Liverpool, UK Fredrik Manne, University of Bergen, Norway Ulrich Meyer, Goethe University Frankfurt/M., Germany Friedhelm Meyer auf der Heide, University of Paderborn, Germany Seth Pettie, University of Michigan, USA Vijaya Ramachandran, University of Texas at Austin, USA Christian Scheideler, University of Paderborn, Germany Oded Schwartz, UC Berkeley, USA Sandeep Sen, IIT Delhi, India Jiri Sgall, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic Nodari Sitchinava, University of Hawaii, Manoa, USA Alexander Tiskin, University of Warwick, UK Jesper Träff, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Phiilippas Tsigas, Chalmers University Gothenburg, Sweden Roger Wattenhofer, ETH Zürich, Switzerland ====================================================== Conference Committee: Program Chair Peter Sanders, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany General Chair Guy Blelloch, Carnegie Mellon University Secretary Christian Scheideler, University of Paderborn Treasurer David Bunde, Knox College Publicity Chair Jeremy Fineman, Georgetown University Local Arrangements Chair Petr Kolman, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic ############################ To unsubscribe from the SPAA list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://listserv.acm.org/scripts/wa-ACMLPX.exe?SUBED1=SPAA&A=1
