topics; the list of organizers with the confirmed chair(s); the program
committee members (indicate whether the members have been confirmed);
and the important dates.
* Organizers: Provide a short vita of the organizers by listing the
current affiliation, position, and previous experience in organizing
other events including workshops/conferences/panels at IPDPS or other
venues.
* History: If re-running (earlier editions were held somewhere other
than IPDPS), provide general information by listing the name of the
workshop, the hosting conference, year, number of papers submitted,
number of papers accepted, number of attendees; if there were
posters/panels, their numbers and topics (for panels), and URL's of the
existing web pages.
* Targeted papers and audience: Provide information on targeted papers
and audience: (i) Where are the papers from (government labs,
universities, industry); (ii) What is the expected profile of the
participants (speakers + audience)? (iii) How will the workshop be
advertised?
* Format of the workshop: Provide a short overview of the format by
indicating if the workshop (i) will have peer reviewed papers in the
proceedings? (ii) will be half day or full day long? (iii) will have a
keynote talk? If yes, provide a tentative list of speakers; (iv) will
have a panel? If yes, provide the topic and the potential panelists?

WHAT/WHERE TO SUBMIT
The proposals can be submitted using the link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ipdpsw2017proposals. Submitted
proposals may not exceed three (3) single-spaced double-column pages
using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style),
including figures, tables, and references.

IPDPS 2017 UPDATE FOR EXISTING IPDPS WORKSHOPS
IPDPS Workshops from the preceding year(s) should apply for renewal. For
more information, please contact the workshops chair at workshops@ipdps.org.

REVIEW OF NEW WORKSHOP PROPOSALS and RENEWALS
All submitted proposals and renewal requests will be reviewed by the
workshops committee. Both new workshop proposals and renewal requests
are due 29 July 2016. Notification of final decisions for new proposals
and renewal requests are expected to be mailed on 2 September 2016.

ABOUT IPDPS WORKSHOPS
Held on the first and last day of the conference, IPDPS workshops
provide an extended forum that allows the IPDPS community an opportunity
to fully explore special topics and to present work that is more
preliminary and cutting-edge or that has more practical content than the
more mature research presented in the main symposium. Each workshop has
its own requirements and schedule for submissions. Workshop papers'
submission dates typically fall after the notification date for main
symposium papers. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the
conference and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital
Library after the conference.

CALL FOR PAPERS - Due October 18, 2016
-----------------------------

SCOPE:
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original
unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed
processing, including the development of experimental or commercial
systems. Work focusing on emerging technologies and interdisciplinary
work covering multiple IPDPS areas are especially welcome. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

* Parallel and distributed algorithms, focusing on topics such as:
numerical and combinatorial parallel algorithms for analysis, machine
learning and simulation; parallel algorithms for accelerators,
neuromorphic architectures, and other non-traditional systems;
algorithms for cloud computing; power-aware parallel algorithms;
streaming algorithms; domain-specific parallel and distributed
algorithms; performance modeling and analysis of parallel and
distributed algorithms; run-time algorithms and protocols for resource
management, communication and synchronization on parallel and
distributed systems.

* Applications of parallel and distributed computing, including
computational and data-enabled science and engineering, big data
applications, parallel crowd sourcing, large-scale social network
analysis, management of big data, cloud and grid computing, scientific,
biological and medical applications, and mobile computing. Papers
focusing on applications using novel commercial or research
architectures, big data approaches, or discussing scalability toward the
exascale level are encouraged.

* Parallel and distributed architectures, including architectures for
instruction-level and thread-level parallelism; memory technologies and
memory hierarchy architectures; exascale systems designs; data center
architectures; novel big data architectures; special purpose
architectures, including graphics processors, signal processors, network
processors, media accelerators, neuromorphic systems, and other special
purpose processors and accelerators; impact of technology on
architecture; network and interconnect architectures; parallel I/O and
storage systems; power-efficient and green computing systems; resilience
and dependable architectures; and performance modeling and evaluation.

* Parallel and distributed software, including parallel and multicore
programming languages and compilers, runtime systems, operating systems,
resource management including, middleware for supercomputers, grids,
clouds, and data centers, libraries, performance modeling and
evaluation, parallel programming paradigms, and programming environments
and tools. Papers focusing on novel software systems for big data and
exascale systems are encouraged.

Papers that cross the boundaries of the four traditional tracks of IPDPS
(Algorithms, Applications, Architecture and Software) are encouraged and
will receive special attention. During submission, authors can indicate
up to three subject areas that can come from any track.

BEST PAPERS AWARDS:
The program committee will nominate papers for recognition in several
categories including the four conference topic areas as well as best
multidisciplinary paper and will consider other paper attributes that
merit recognition from the conference. The five top best papers will be
selected for presentation and the others will receive honorable mention
in the conference program.

WHAT/WHERE TO SUBMIT:
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced
double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE
conference style), including figures, tables, and references. See style
templates for details:

Word Template http://www.ipdps.org/templates/IEEECS_CPS_8.5x11x2.zip
IPDPS will again require submission of abstracts and registration of
papers one week before the paper submission deadline without any late
exceptions. Files should be submitted by following the instructions
available at the EDAS portal. Authors must ensure that electronically
submitted files are formatted in PDF format for 8.5 x 11 inch paper.
The submission portal will be available by September. Return to this
site to submit your abstract and upload your submission.

REVIEW OF MANUSCRIPTS:
All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed. Submissions will be judged
on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, potential
impact, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the
conference scope. Submitted papers should NOT have appeared in or be
under consideration for another conference, workshop or journal.

Questions may be sent to PC2017@ipdps.org. Abstracts are due October 18,
2016 and full manuscripts must be received by October 23, 2016. This is
a final, hard deadline; to ensure fairness, no extensions will be given.
There will be a one week review feedback and author response period from
November 28th to December 5th. Notification of final decisions will be
mailed by January 8, 2017, and camera-ready papers will be due February
15, 2017.

IMPORTANT DATES
October 18, 2016: Registration of papers with abstracts will be
accepted up to end of day ANYWHERE ON EARTH.
October 23, 2016: Submission of registered papers will be accepted up to
end of day ANYWHERE ON EARTH.
