CALL FOR PAPERS 
------------------------------

A special track on Parallel and Distributed Systems will be held in
SAC2004. 
This track aims to be a forum for scientists, engineers and
practitioners 
in academia, industry and research institutes to share technical ideas, 
experiences and results and to present their latest findings in any
aspects 
of Parallel and Distributed Computing. The Track will emphasize the
design, 
architecture and software of parallel and distributed systems with their

scientific and engineering applications.
Authors are invited to submit original manuscripts that demonstrate
current 
research in all areas of parallel and distributed systems. The track 
solicits novel papers on a broad range of topics, including but not
limited to:

* Parallel and Distributed Architectures
* Parallel and Distributed Algorithms
* Optimizing Compilers
* Programming Languages and Tools for Parallel Computing Systems
* Load Sharing and Balancing
* Task Mapping and Job Scheduling
* Resource Allocation and Management
* Applications for Clusters and Grids - Grid Computing
* Architecture and Operating system support for Parallel Systems 
* Supercomputing Applications
* Scalable Servers 
* Internet and WWW-based Computing
* Network-based and Cluster Computing Network Server Architectures
* Reliability and Fault-Tolerance
* Performance Analysis


Original papers from the above-mentioned or other related areas will be
considered. 
This includes three categories of submissions: 1) original and
unpublished research; 
2) reports of innovative computing applications in the arts, sciences,
engineering, 
business, government, education and industry; and 3) reports of
successful technology 
transfer to new problem domains. Each submitted paper will be fully
refereed and 
undergo a blind review process by at least three referees. Accepted
papers in all 
categories will be published in the ACM SAC'04 proceedings. 

Submit your paper electronically to
http://www.cslab.ece.ntua.gr/sac04-pds in PDF 
or postscript (see the track web page for details). The author(s)
name(s) and 
address(es) must not appear in any cover page or in the body of the
paper, and 
self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate
blind review. 
Because the review process is blind, authors' names and affiliations
should appear 
only on the electronic submission form. The final version (camera-ready)
of the 
accepted papers should be submitted in PDF format so that they can be
included in 
the proceedings as well as in the ACM Digital Library. 

For more information contact: sac04-pds@cslab.ece.ntua.gr

* 2004 ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers

				     CF '04
		      2004 ACM International Conference on
			      Computing Frontiers
			Ischia, Italy, 14-16 April 2004
			  Sponsored by ACM - SIGMICRO

The increasing needs of present and future computation-intensive
applications have stimulated research in new and innovative approaches to
the design and implementation of high-performance computing systems.  This
challenging boundary between state of the art and innovation constitutes
the computing frontiers, which needs to push forward and provide the
computational support required for the advancement of all science domains
and applications.  This conference will focus on a wide spectrum of
advanced technologies and radically new solutions and is designed to foster
communication between the various scientific areas and disciplines
involved.  Authors are invited to submit papers on all areas of innovative
computing systems which extend the current frontiers of computer science
and engineering and that will provide advanced systems for current and
future applications.

Papers are sought on theory, methodologies, technologies, and
implementations concerned with innovations in computing paradigms,
computational models, architectural paradigms, computer architectures,
development environments, compilers, operating environments, etc.  Main
topics include, but are not limited to, the following.

- Pervasive and ubiquitous computing | - Autonomous intelligent computing
- Embedded processing and networking |   systems
- Wearable computing                 | - Nanotechnologies for high-performance
- Systems and networks on chip       |   computing

* HotSpot thermal-modeling release (http://lava.cs.virginia.edu/HotSpot/)

With power density and hence cooling costs rising exponentially,
processor packaging can no longer be designed for the worst case, and
there is an urgent need for runtime techniques that can regulate
operating temperature when the package's capacity is exceeded.
Evaluating such techniques, however, requires a thermal model that is
practical for architectural studies at the processor- and
system-architecture granularities. 

HotSpot is an accurate and fast thermal model suitable for use in
architectural studies. It automatically generates a dynamic compact
model based on an equivalent circuit of thermal resistances and
capacitances that correspond to blocks or structures of interest and to
essential aspects of the thermal package. The model has been validated
using finite-element simulation and is available for public use. 
HotSpot has a simple set of interfaces and hence can be integrated with
most power-performance simulators like Wattch (but it has no specific
dependencies on SimpleScalar/Wattch).  HotSpot is also general enough
that it should be easy to extend to a variety of systems and
configurations.  HotSpot is supported via an email list that is
monitored by its developers.

publications, see http://lava.cs.virginia.edu/HotSpot/
