Effective use of parallelism crucially relies on the availability of suitable models of computation for algorithm design and analysis, and of efficient strategies for the solution of key computational problems on prominent classes of platforms. Despite the vast body of research carried out in this area, many relevant problems remain open and new challenging ones are posed by emerging paradigms (e.g., global and mobile computing, peer-to-peer networks, etc.). High quality papers are solicited, which contribute new results on foundational issues of parallelism in computing and/or propose improved approaches for the solution of specific algorithmic problems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Focus - Foundations of parallel and distributed computing and networking - Models of parallel and distributed computation - Models of network growth and behavior - Emerging paradigms of parallel and distributed computation/communication - Deterministic, randomized or approximation parallel and distributed algorithms - Lower bounds for key computational problems - Theoretical aspects of routing and information dissemination - Communication complexity ----------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY DATES December 31, 2005: Workshop proposals due January 31, 2006: Full papers due May 3, 2006: Notification of acceptance May 30, 2006: Camera-ready papers and author registration due ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION DETAILS Authors are invited to submit full papers (10 pages, Springer LNCS style) to this topic, by using the online submission site: http://www.europar2006.de/index.php?page=1 Online submission will be open before the end of December 2005. (When submitting, please indicate this topic.) All accepted full papers will be published in the conference proceedings in the Springer Verlag LNCS series. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPIC 12 - PROGRAM COMMITTEE Global Chair Prof. Dr. Danny Krizanc Wesleyan University Mathematics and Computer Science Middletown, CT, USA dkrizanc@caucus.cs.wesleyan.edu Local Chair Prof. Dr. Michael Kaufmann University Tuebingen Wilhelm-Schickard-Institute of Informatics Tuebingen, Germany mk@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de Vice Chair Dr. Pierre Fraigniaud CNRS LRI University of Paris Sud Paris, France Pierre.Fraigniaud@lri.fr Vice Chair Prof. Dr. Christos Zaroliagis CTI & University of Patras Dept. of Computer Engineering and Informatics Patras, Greece zaro@ceid.upatras.gr ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION STATEMENT - EURO-PAR Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. Each year, the conference normally attracts more than 300 participants coming from universities, research centres and industry. Euro-Par 2006 will represent 18 topics (http://www.europar2006.de/index.php?page=3) in the categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications, and will also include tutorials, invited talks, and co-located workshops. Besides, the planed Grid Village provides an opportunity to showcase the latest developments in Grid technology with demonstration and hands on experiences. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
