Track 12: Theory and Algorithms for Parallel Computation

Scope of Track 12: Theory and Algorithms for Parallel Computation
=================================================================

Parallelism permeates all levels of current computing systems, from
single CPU machines, to large server farms, to geographically dispersed
"volunteers" who collaborate over the Internet. The effective use of
parallelism depends crucially on the availability of faithful, yet
tractable, models of computation for algorithm design and analysis and
of efficient strategies for solving key computational problems on
prominent classes of computing platforms. No less important are good
models of the way the different components/subsystems of a platform are
interconnected. With the development of new genres of computing
platforms, such as multicore parallel machines, desktop grids, clouds,
and hybrid GPU/CPU-based systems, new models and paradigms are needed
that will allow parallel programming to advance into mainstream
computing.

High-quality, original, papers are solicited, which contribute new
results on foundational issues regarding parallelism in computing and/or
proposing improved approaches to the solution of specific algorithmic
problems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Foundations, Models, and Emerging paradigms for parallel, distributed,
multiprocessor and network computation
- Deterministic and randomized parallel algorithms
- Lower bounds for key computational problems
- Models and algorithms for parallelism in memory hierarchies
- Models and algorithms for real networks (scale-free, small world,
wireless networks)
- Theoretical aspects of routing
