 			CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The First Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Computing in Finance
(PDCoF08-Computational Finance - Friday, April 18, 2008)
http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~pdcof
 		 to be held in conjunction with the
 		 International  Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium
 		 (IPDPS08) April 14-18, 2008, Miami, FL, USA
 		 (http://www.ipdps.org)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the last decade Computational Finance (CF) has influenced the market
place
extensively with enormous impact on wealth building, employment
opportunities, and tremendous economic growth. This field forms an
ever-expanding part of the financial sector, in numerous ways today. Use of
high performance computers for research in computational finance has grown
steadily in the last
decade and the time is ripe to collect these researchers to exchange
their ideas, models and results through a conference meeting.  This
workshop will be a first such effort in bringing together researchers in the
area of computational finance (i) who design and develop parallel and
distributed algorithms (ii) at a venue where Parallel, Distributed, Grid,
and High Performance Computing are the fundamental threads of discussions
and arguments.

Scope and Interests:
-------------------
Topics of interest include but not limited to the following:

-->  Parallel Algorithms for problems such as stock price predictions, asset
pricing, option pricing and risk management

-->  Numerical Techniques for above problem and their implementations on
state-of-the-art parallel architectures

--> Molecular simulation in finance

-->  Engineering approaches (e.g. Fast Fourier Transform, Wavelet 
Transform)
to finance problems

--> Finance computations using system on a chip architectures

--> Real time pricing

--> High Performance data mining in finance


Important Deadlines:
-------------------
Paper submission due: 		November 07, 2007
Notification of acceptance: 	December 11, 2007
Camera-ready paper due: 	January 28, 2008
