ISPDC 2008: 7th International Symposium on
Parallel and Distributed Computing
Krakow, Poland
July 1-5, 2008

Conference WWW page: http://ispdc2008.ipipan.waw.pl/

It is our pleasure to announce the 7th International Symposium on
Parallel and Distributed Computing - ISPDC 2008.
We have been witnessing an unprecedented development of parallel
and distributed computing techniques and the respective system
technology. This development cannot be complete and successful
without fast distribution of new ideas and concepts as well as
a profound verification of new technical solutions proposed
some time ago.
The ISPDC conferences provide a wide international forum for these
purposes with an interactive and friendly, but strongly professional
atmosphere.

The previous symposia were held with success in:

   2002: Iasi, Romania
   2003: Ljubljana, Slovenia
   2004: Cork, Ireland
   2005: Lille, France
   2006: Timisoara, Romania
   2007: Hagenberg, Austria

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers (not being
considered for publication elsewhere) describing new theoretical
and/or experimental research.
The conference scope will be focussed on but not limited to the
following topics:

   * Parallel Computing
   * Cluster Computing
   * Grid Computing
   * Web Services and Internet Computing
   * Cooperative and Collaborative Computing
   * Peer-to-peer Computing
   * Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing
   * New Parallel System Concepts and Architectures
   * Distributed Systems Methodology and Networking
   * Software Agents and Multi-agent Systems
   * Algorithms, Models and Formal Verification
   * Parallel Programming Paradigms and APIs
   * Tools and Environments for Parallel Program Analysis
   * Operating Systems for Parallel and Distributed Systems
   * Task Scheduling and Load Balancing
   * Performance Management in Parallel and Distributed Systems
   * Parallel, Distributed and Mobile Databases
   * Distributed Software Components
   * Real-time Distributed and Parallel Systems
   * Security in Parallel and Distributed Systems
   * Fault Tolerance in Parallel and Distributed Systems
   * Bio-inspired Parallel Algorithms
   * Parallel Scientific Computing and Large Scale Simulations
   * Parallel and Distributed Applications

The deadline for paper submission is 10 March, 2008.
The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press
in a post-conference volume. A selection of the best papers will be
considered for publication in a special journal issue.

Papers are to be submitted in an electronic form via the submission
WWW site:
http://ispdc2008.ipipan.waw.pl/openconf/

The papers should be sent as a single PDF or PostScript file and
should not contain more than
8 pages in the IEEE CS two-column format described at:

CONFERENCE VENUE:

The conference will be held in Krakow, the traditional cultural and
historical capital of Poland, listed on the UNESCO World Heritage
List. This town is full of historical monuments, including the original
Old Town with its specific atmosphere unchanged since the Middle
Ages, the Royal Wawel Castle and the Gothic St Mary's Basilica,
the historical Cloth Hall, "Wieliczka" Salt Mine, and the Pieskowa
Skala Castle.

This town is also a strong academic center with one of the oldest
Universities in Europe - the Jagiellonian University (founded in 1364),
Cracow University of Technology, AGH University of Science and
Technology and many other colleges and higher schools.
The ISPDC 2008 sessions will be hosted by the Faculty of Electrical
Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science and Electronics of the
AGH University of Science and Technology in the new, modern and
air-conditioned site of the Department of Telecommunications.
