[DMANET] CfP Theory and Algorithms for Parallel Computation (Euro-Par 2013, Topic 12)

=======================================================================
Call for Papers

Topic 12: Theory and Algorithms for Parallel Computation
of

Euro-Par 2013,
19th International European Conference on
Parallel and Distributed Computing

http://www.europar2013.org/

August 26 - 30, Aachen, Germany
=======================================================================



Scope of Topic 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, computational models for algorithm design and analysis and
models of efficient strategies for solving key computational problems on
prominent classes of computing platforms. Equally important are good
algorithmic models of the way the different system components 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 computational 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, the
following:

- Foundations, computational models, and emerging paradigms for
parallel, distributed, multiprocessor and network computation
- Deterministic and randomized parallel algorithms and data structures
- 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)
- Energy-efficient algorithms
