CALL FOR PAPERS

DAPSYS 2002
4th AUSTRIAN-HUNGARIAN WORKSHOP ON DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL SYSTEMS
Linz, Austria, September 29th-October 02nd, 2002

EXTENDED PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 6 May, 2002

As it was successful in 2000, the 4th Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on
Distributed and Parallel Systems (DAPSYS 2002) will be organized jointly
with the 9th EuroPVM/MPI conference again, in Linz, Austria. Participants of
the two events will share invited talks, tutorials and social events.
Contributed paper presentations will go on in separate tracks in parallel.
While EuroPVM/MPI is dedicated to the latest developments of PVM and MPI,
DAPSYS is expected to be a major event to discuss general aspects of
distributed and parallel systems. In this way they are complement to each
other and participants of the DAPSYS 2002 workshop can benefit from the
joint organization of the two events.

Selected papers of DAPSYS'96 have been published in a special issue (Vol.
22, No. 3. February 1997) of Parallel Computing. Best papers of DAPSYS'98
(Budapest) were also published in Future Generation Computer Systems (Vol.
16, No. 6., April 2000). Selected papers on tools and environments of DAPSYS
2000 are being published in Parallel and Distributed Computing Practice.
Following this tradition a special issue on DAPSYS 2002 of an international
journal is planned.

SCOPE

DAPSYS 2002 is expected to be a major event for vendors, researchers and
teachers to consider present and future topics in distributed and parallel
systems. Papers presenting original research, educational methods, new
concepts, and results of international projects are being sought. Papers
describing clusters, grids, metacomputing and the related fields are
especially welcome. Typical, but not exclusive, topics include:

 * Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
 * Languages, Tools and Environments
 * Parallel and Distributed Databases
 * Clusters and Grids
 * Computer Architectures
 * Applications
 * Mobile Computing
 * Operating Systems
 * Web Computing
 * Metacomputing
 * Distributed OO Systems
 * Middlewares

CONFERENCE VENUE:

The conference will be organized at the campus of the Johannes Kepler
University in Linz, Austria, which is traditionally a leader in
Austrian High-Performance Computing. At present, the University of
Linz features a SGI Origin 3800 with 128 processors, the fastest
academic and research supercomputer of Austria (Position 350,
17th Top500, June 2001). Additional highlights are a room-sized,
3-dimensional CAVE Virtual Reality Center and the Wireless
Campus Project.

The university campus is located on the border of the city of Linz,
a 200.000 inhabitants town on both sides of the river Danube. Linz
offers the visitor a mixture of typical Austrian historic sites,
well-known industry, and established cultural aspects. Around the
time of the conference, Linz presents the respected Ars Electronica,
the Cloud of Sound, and the Bruckner Festival. Situated in the middle
of Europe, Linz is close to Vienna (190 km), Salzburg (130 km),
Prague (240 km), Munich (270 km), and Budapest (440 km), and can
easily be reached from most major European airports (Frankfurt, Zurich,
Amsterdam).
