3rd International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Algorithms and Applications (PDAA)

to be held in conjunction with ICNC'11, Osaka, Japan, November 30-December 2, 2011

Bridging Theory and Practice in Parallel and Distributed Computing

The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques and research in the field of parallel and distributed algorithms and applications. The workshop is meant to bridge research of theory and practice in all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. We are convinced that the workshop atmosphere will be conducive to open and mutually beneficial exchanges of ideas between the participants of these areas.

Parallel and distributed algorithms, Hardware algorithms, Graph-theoretic concepts in parallel and distributed computing, Geometric and graph algorithms, Complexity theory in parallel and distributed computing, Parallel and distributed computing models, Network routing and communication algorithms, Combinatorial algorithms, Randomized and approximation techniques, Cellular Automata

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an electronic version of an original, unpublished manuscript in PDF using EasyChair by July 15, 2011 August 3, 2011 (extended). If you do not have an EasyChair account, you must create it first. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must be 5-7 pages using Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to register, attend the workshop, and present the paper.

Accepted and presented papers will be published by Conference Publishing Service and archived to IEEE Xplore and CSDL digital libraries. Also they are arranged for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services.

We plan to publish extended versions of selected papers from PDAA'11 main conference and workshops in IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems(IEICE-ED, pending approval) and International Journal of Networking and Computing(http://ijnc.org/). Papers submitted to these special issues must have significant additional materials and improvements over ICNC'11 papers.

Authors of accepted papers must submit final maunscript and pay the registration fee through ICNC main conference web page.
