     SPAA 2006 Call for Papers

     18th ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures

     Cambridge, MA, USA
     July 30-August 2, 2006
     http://www.spaa-conference.org

========================================================================

SCOPE:
SPAA defines ``parallel'' broadly to encompass any computational
system or model that can perform multiple operations or tasks
simultaneously. Thus, the call for papers covers both traditional
parallel and distributed algorithms and architectures, as well as
new topics such as satellite networks, the web, quantum and DNA
computing, etc.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

PARALLEL COMPUTING                       MASSIVE PARALLELISM
Parallel Algorithms                      Cluster Computing and Grid Computing
Parallel Complexity Theory               Mobile and Wireless Computing
Parallel Computing and Applications      The Internet and the World Wide Web
Models for Parallel                      Sensor Networks
    and Distributed Computing
Instruction Level Parallelism and VLSI   Satellite and Radio Networks
Parallel in Selfish Computing and Games  Biologically Inspired Computing
Routing and Information Dissemination    Other Large Networks
Parallel Data Structures                 Pricing and Equilibria in Networks
Compilers and Tools                      Quantum and DNA Computing
    for Parallel Computing
Memory-Aware Algorithms                  Parallel Data Bases and Data Mining
Supercomputer Architecture and Computing Metacomputing

========================================================================

CONFERENCE PRESENTATION:
Regular presentations will be allotted a 25-minute talk and up to 10
pages in the proceedings. This format is intended for contributions
reporting original research, submitted exclusively to this
conference. Brief announcements will be allotted a 10-minute talk
and a one-page abstract (each marked as a brief announcement) in the
proceedings. This format is a forum for brief communications, which
may be published later in other conferences.


SUBMISSIONS:
Authors of contributed papers are encouraged to submit their
manuscript electronically. The deadlines for electronic submissions
are
   **March 6, 2006 for regular papers, and
   **March 13, 2006 for brief announcements.
These are firm deadlines. No extensions will be granted. Authors who
are unable to submit electronically should contact the program
chair, Uzi Vishkin, at vishkin@umiacs.umd.edu to receive
instructions.


PAPER SUBMISSION FORMAT:
The cover page should include
1. title,
2. authors and affiliation,
3. postal and email address of the contact author,
4. a brief abstract describing the content of the paper, and
5. an indication of whether this is a regular presentation or a brief
announcement.

If requested by the authors, an extended abstract that is not
selected for a regular presentation will also be considered for the
SPAA brief announcements. Such a request will not affect the
consideration of the paper for a regular presentation.

Submissions for regular presentations should include an introduction
understandable to a nonspecialist including motivation and previous
work, and a technical exposition directed to a specialist.  It
should not exceed 10 printed pages in 11-point type or larger
(excluding cover, figures, and references).  More details (figures
and proofs) may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix to be read
at the discretion of the program committee.

A submission for the SPAA brief announcements should be no longer
than 3 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point font.


NOTIFICATION:
Authors will be sent notification of acceptance or rejection by
e-mail or letter mailed on or before May 15, 2006. A camera-ready
copy of each accepted abstract must be prepared according to ACM
guidelines for inclusion in the proceedings of the conference and
must be received by June 1, 2006.
