--PAPER SUBMISISON GUIDELINES--
The conference proceedings of PDCAT'07 will be published in English by 
IEEE Computer Society (cited by EI) and extended versions of some 
selected papers are to be published in a special issue of the 
International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking.

Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and 
experience are solicited. Papers will be selected based on their 
originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of 
presentation. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the 
conference proceedings.

Submissions must not exceed 10 pages of single column, including tables 
and figures.

Submissions to PDCAT'07 are conducted (only) electronically via the 
conference web site. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one 
author to register, attend the conference, and present the paper.

Authors will need to select an appropriate topic code when submitting 
their manuscripts.

PDCAT'07 will include a Student Poster Session featuring posters that 
present recent and on-going research by students in parallel and 
distributed computing, applications and technologies.
