Following very successful runs since 2002 at locations all over Europe, last time in June 2012 in Munich, Germany, the next ISPDC edition will be held from June 27th to 30th, 2013, in Bucharest, Romania. It will be organised by the Computer Science Department, Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers, University Politehnica of Bucharest. The mission of the 12th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing is to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners involved in the development of new algorithms, architectures and applications for parallel and distributed computing, as well as visualisation and post-processing. The goal is to provide an interactive and friendly yet professional forum for original research contributions describing novel ideas, groundbreaking results or quantified system experiences. We cordially invite you to submit your contribution to the 12th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (ISPDC 2013).</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; ">Topics include, but are not limited to:</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; ">+ High Performance Computing and Large Scale Applications</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Tools and Environments for Parallel Program Analysis</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Scalable Algorithms and Applications</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Urban Networks and Applications, Vehicular Networks</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Parallel, Distributed and Mobile Databases</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; ">+ Parallel Computing and Algorithms</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Parallel Programming Paradigms and APIs</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - GPU Programming</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Bio-inspired Parallel Algorithms</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Algorithms, Models and Formal Verification</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; ">+ System Architectures for Parallel and Distributed Computing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Cluster Computing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Grid and Cloud Computing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Operating Systems for Parallel and Distributed Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Distributed Systems Methodology and Networking</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; ">+ Distributed Computing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Collaborative Computing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Peer-to-peer Computing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Mobile Cloud</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Web Services and Internet Computing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Distributed Software Components</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Software Agents and Multi-agent Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; ">+ Quality Assurance in Parallel and Distributed Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Task Scheduling and Load Balancing</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Fault Tolerance in Parallel and Distributed Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Security in Parallel and Distributed Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Performance Management in Parallel and Distributed Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; ">+ Interactivity and Visualisation</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Real-time Distributed and Parallel Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Real-time Visualisation of Massively Parallel Data</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Computational Steering on Parallel and Distributed Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "> - Visualisation on Parallel and Distributed Systems</div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; "><br></div><div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas; ">You are invited to submit a paper with unpublished original work for ISPDC 2013, Bucharest/Romania on June 27-30.
