-------------------- Call for Workshops and Tutorials --------------------
The Ninth International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing,
Applications and Technologies (PDCAT'08)
1-4 December 2008, Dunedin, New Zealand
http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/pdcat08/
Workshops proposals Submission deadline : 15 April 2008
Tutorials proposals Submission deadline : 30 June 2008
Call for Workshops/Tutorials proposals
The PDCAT08 Organizing Committee invites workshop/tutorial proposals
for PDCAT08 to be held in Dunedin, New Zealand, in December 2008.
Workshop/tutorial proposals are invited on specific aspects of parallel
and distributed computing, particularly relating to the subject areas
indicated by the topics below. We encourage workshops/tutorial driven by
both academic and industrial interests. The format of the
workshop/tutorials will be determined by the organizers.
Workshops can vary in length from a half day to a full day. Having more
than one co-organizer for a workshop is strongly encouraged.
Workshop proceedings will be published as part of the PDCAT08 proceedings.
So, it is *very important* that high quality workshops are accepted, and
that workshop organisers observe strict quality strandards in the
selection of papers for their events.
Workshops attendees should register for the main conference.
Important Dates and Proposal Submission
-----------------------------------------
Workshop/tutorial proposals and any enquiries should be sent by e-
mail to the Tutorial & Workshop chair, Laurent Lefevre
(Laurent.Lefevre at ens-lyon.fr).
Workshop Proposals Due: 15 April 2008
Workshop Notification: 30 April 2008
URL for Workshop Website Due: 10 May 2008
Workshop: 1-4 December 2008
Tutorial Proposals Due: 30 June 2008
Tutorial: 1-4 December 2008
Proposal Requirements
---------------------------
Proposals should be no more than 2 pages in length. They
should contain the following information:
* Title and brief technical description of the workshop/
tutorial, specifying the goals and the technical issues that will be its
focus.
* A brief description of why and to whom the workshop/tutorial
is of interest.
* A list of related workshops/tutorials or similar events held
in the last 3 years, or to be held in 2008.
* The names and contact information (web page, email address) of
the organisers.
* A description of the qualifications of the organisers (e.g., papers
published in the proposed topic area, previous workshop/tutorial
organization,
other relevant information).
Responsibilities of workshop organisers
------------------------
Each workshop organizing committee will be responsible for the
following:
# Producing a web page and a "Call for Papers/Participation" for their
workshop. The URL should be sent to the workshop chair.
# It should mention that at least one author of each accepted submission
must attend the workshop and that all workshop participants must pay the
PDCAT08 conference registration fee.
# It should clearly describe the process by which the Organizing
Committee
will select the submissions.
# Ensure that all workshop papers are a maximum of 6 pages in length (in
IEEE format).
# Provide a brief description of the workshop for the conference web
page
and program.
# The publication of proceedings will be by the IEEE alongside the
conference proceedings (in many cases this is in the same volume as the
main conference). The acceptance notification (by workshop organisers)
therefore should be the same as "conference paper acceptance"
notification (i.e. the dates should be the same). All other details can
be up to workshop organisers to set.
# Advertising the workshop beyond the conference web page.
# Producing a camera-ready version of the workshop proceedings.
# *Important matter*: The PDCAT08 Organizing Committee may decide,
based on the number and quality of submissions, to cancel or merge
workshops before the conference. So we encourage workshop organisers
to attract a large community.
The PDCAT08 Organizing Committee will be responsible for the following:
* Providing a link to a workshop's local page.
* Providing logistics support and a meeting place for the workshop.
* In conjunction with the organizers, determining the workshop date
and time.
* Providing copies of the workshop proceedings to attendees.
Conference Topics of Interest and Area Keywords
------------------------------------------------------
Topics of interest to the conference include (but are not restricted
to):
* Multi-Core systems
* Parallel programming Models
* Wireless networking
* Grid computing
* Ubiquitous computing
* Agent technologies
* Virtualisation
* Cloud computing
* Bioinformatics
