Call for Poster and Demo: The 16th IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications (ISPA 2018), 11-13 Dec. 2018, Melbourne, Australia. Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/2018/ispa/poster.htm Important Dates: Deadline for proceedings published posters/demos with display at conference: 5 October 2018 Notification of Acceptance: 10 October 2018 Final versions of proceeding published posters/demos: 15 October 2018 Deadline for web published posters/demos with display at conference: 30 October 2018 Submissions: Please email your posters/demos to confs.aus@gmail.com with the email subject as "ISPA 2018 demo poster submission". Two types of posters and demos are welcome. Both of them will be displayed during the conference. 1. Proceedings published posters and demos: Submission is a 2-page short paper describing the post/demo content, research, relevance and importance to the conference community. If accepted, the 2-page short paper will be published in the main conference proceedings. 2. Web published posters and demos: Submission is a 1-page extended abstract. Such posters/demos will not be included in the conference proceedings, but will be published on the conference website. --------------- Participants are invited to submit posters and research demos to ISPA 2018. ISPA 2018 is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Parallel and Distributed Processing with Applications as well as joint-venture and synergic research and development across various related areas. Topics of interest for posters and demos include, but not limited to: Scope and Topics (1) Systems and Architectures Track - Cloud computing and data center technology - Migration of computations - Multi-clouds environments, cloud federation, interoperability - Energy management and Green Computing - Wireless and mobile networks - Internet-Of-Things (IoT) - Social Networks, crowdsourcing, and P2P systems (2) Technologies and Tools Track - Building block processors: FPGA, multicore, GPU, NoC, SoC - Parallel and distributed algorithms - Tools/environments for parallel/distributed software development - Novel parallel programming paradigms - Programming models for cloud services and applications - Code generation and optimization - Compilers for parallel computers - Middleware and tools - Scheduling and resource management - Performance simulations, measurement, and evaluations - Reliability, fault tolerance, dependability, and security (3) Applications Track - High-performance scientific and engineering computing - Grid and cluster computing - Pervasive and ubiquitous computing - Databases, data mining, and data management - Big data and business analytics - Scientific cloud systems and services - Internet computing and web services - Application scenarios of IoT and ubiquitous computing - Experience with computational, workflow and data-intensive applications - Software Defined Networks and its applications Chairs: Deepak Puthal, University of Technology Sydney, Australia Young Choon Lee, Macquarie University, Australia
