                 IPDPS 2005 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
                 =================================

IPDPS serves as a forum for engineers and scientists from around the
world to present their latest research findings in the fields of
parallel processing and distributed computing.  The five-day program
will follow the usual format of contributed papers, invited speakers,
panels, industrial track, and exhibits mid week, framed by workshops
held on Monday and Friday.  During the week participants will have an
opportunity to organize Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions, and a
special tutorial will be offered.  Program details will be posted on
the Web, so you are encouraged to regularly check the IPDPS Web site
at www.ipdps.org for updates.  General email inquiries should be
addressed to info at ipdps.org.

WORKSHOPS
---------
Workshops are an opportunity to explore special topics, and running a
workshop in association with IPDPS offers many advantages.  Most
workshops held at IPDPS 2004 are already planning for continuation in
2005, and several others have been proposed.  Contact Workshop
Co-Chairs Alan Sussman (als at cs.umd.edu) or Yuanyuan Yang
(yang at ece.sunysb.edu) for information on proposing a workshop. For a
list of workshops planned for 2005, and to obtain more information on
an individual IPDPS workshop, go to the IPDPS Web site at
www.ipdps.org.  Each workshop has its own requirements and schedule
for submissions, and all are linked from the IPDPS Web site.

BIRDS-OF-A-FEATHER (BOF)
------------------------
These are informal sessions in which a group of researchers can gather
for discussions on a topic of mutual interest.  We'll provide the
space, you provide the topic and gather the people.  You may reserve
space in advance by contacting the General Vice Chair Charles Weems at
weems at cs.umass.edu.

INDUSTRIAL TRACK & COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS
--------------------------------------
There will be three days of "walk-up-and-talk" exhibits, where
industrial researchers can promote awareness about their products and
recent technological advances. In addition, industry exhibitors are
invited to give a presentation in a conference Industrial Track
session (with a technical article in the proceedings) or offer an
evening industrial tutorial that provides orientation and training to
conference participants interested in using their technology.
Companies interested in participating should contact the Industrial
Track Chair John K. Antonio (antonio at ou.edu) as early as possible.

     memory, distributed memory (including petascale system designs,
     and architectures with instruction-level and thread-level
     parallelism), special-purpose models (including signal and image
     processors, network processors, other special purpose
     processors), nontraditional processor technologies, network and
     interconnect architecture, parallel I/O and storage systems,
     system design issues for low power, design for high reliability,
     and performance modeling and evaluation.
  
  4. Parallel and distributed software, including parallel
     programming languages and compilers, operating systems, resource
     management, middleware, libraries, data mining, and programming
     environments and tools.  

BEST PAPER AWARDS
-----------------
Awards will be given for one best paper in each of the four conference
technical tracks: algorithms, applications, architectures, and
software.  The selected papers also will be considered for possible
publication in a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and
Distributed Computing. 

WHAT TO SUBMIT
==============
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 16 single-spaced pages using
12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures and tables.
References may be included in addition to the 16 pages.  Hardcopy
submissions will be accepted, but files in either PostScript (level 2)
or PDF format are strongly encouraged.  Authors need to make sure that
the electronically submitted files are formatted for 8.5x11 inch
paper.  Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality,
technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and
interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Submitted papers
may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another
conference or a journal. 

Submission procedures are available via Web access at www.ipdps.org.
For those who have only e-mail access, send an e-mail message to
<cfp at ipdps.org> for an automatic reply that will contain detailed
instructions for submission of manuscripts.  If no electronic access
is available, contact the Program Chair at the address given below. 

All manuscripts will be reviewed.  Manuscripts must be received by
October 8, 2004, by 5 p.m. U.S. Pacific Coast Time.  This is a final
deadline; to ensure fairness, no extensions will be given.
Notification of review decisions will be mailed by December 17, 2004.
Camera-ready papers will be due January 21, 2005.

IPDPS 2005 Proceedings for both contributed papers and workshops will
be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press on CD-ROM and will be
distributed at the Symposium along with a hard copy volume of
abstracts.

        SADDLE UP FOR THE IPDPS 2005 ROCKY MOUNTAIN ROUND-UP
        ====================================================
        
The 19th IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing
Symposium, hosted by Colorado State University, will be held in
Denver, Colorado, at the Omni Interlocken Resort.  Midway between
downtown Denver and Boulder and fifty miles from Fort Collins, the
Interlocken area is a concentration of high-tech corporations,
institutions of higher education, and research and development
laboratories. The nearby Denver International Airport provides easy
access for our worldwide participants. 

Gateway to the spectacular Rocky Mountains, the area has a multitude
of recreational opportunities and is only one hour from the entrance
to the Rocky Mountain National Park wilderness forest and wildlife
preserves.  The Interlocken Hotel is part of a golf resort with three
separate nine-hole courses, and across the road is FlatIron Crossing
Village, an indoor-outdoor park complex of retail shops, dining, and
recreation.  

Colorado may now be best known for its ski resorts and breweries, but
its earlier history of mining, agriculture, and livestock, and its
role in the settlement of the American West, is still alive in the
character of the university communities of Fort Collins, Boulder, and
Golden.   So, come April 2005, we invite all you trail blazers in
parallel and distributed processing to saddle up and join us at the
Rocky Mountain IPDPS round-up. 

Our IPDPS 2005 host is Colorado State University, and they are
planning a special pre-conference Rocky Mountain National Park
excursion. Details on this excursion, local accommodations, and travel
tips will be posted on the Web, so you are encouraged to regularly
check the IPDPS Web site at www.ipdps.org for updates.
