CALL FOR PAPERS
PDPTA'12
The 2012 International Conference on Parallel
and Distributed Processing Techniques and Applications
Date and Location: July 16-19, 2012, Las Vegas, USA http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/
You are invited to submit a full paper for consideration. All accepted
papers will be published in printed conference books/proceedings and
will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in
science citation databases that track citation frequency/data for each
paper (such as: Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering and
Technology, and others). In addition, like prior years, extended versions
of selected papers (about 40%) will appear in journals and edited research
books (publishers include: Springer, Elsevier, ...).
SCOPE: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
O Parallel/Distributed applications:
Numerical computations/methods, neural networks and fuzzy logic,
medicine, remote sensing, computer vision, computer graphics and
virtual reality, parallel/distributed databases, banking,
financial markets, high-performance computational biology, ...
O Parallel/Distributed architectures:
Clusters and parallel systems of various topologies, supercomputers,
shared memory, distributed memory, general- and special-purpose
architectures, instructional level and thread level parallelism,
