Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

– Parallel and Distributed Algorithms and Applications
– Parallel and Distributed Data Structures
– Parallel Complexity Theory
– Parallel and Distributed Architectures
– Multi-Core Architectures
– Instruction Level Parallelism and VLSI
– Compilers and Tools for Concurrent Programming
– Supercomputer Architecture and Computing
– Transactional Memory Hardware and Software
– The Internet and the World Wide Web
– Game Theory and Collaborative Learning
– Routing and Information Dissemination
– Resource Management and Awareness
– Peer-to-Peer Systems
– Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks
– Robustness, Self-Stabilization, and Security
– Green Computing and Power-Efficient Architectures
– Management of Massive Data Sets

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 2-page abstract in the proceedings. This format is a forum for brief
communications, which may be published later in other conferences.

The best regular paper will be given a best paper award.

SUBMISSIONS:

Authors of contributed papers are encouraged to submit their manuscript electronically. To submit electronically, visit
http://www.spaa-conference.org/submission.html for instructions. This is the preferred method of submission. Authors unable to submit
electronically should contact the program chair Cynthia Phillips at caphill@sandia.gov to receive instructions.

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 if 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
session. 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. A submission should not exceed 10 printed pages in 11-point type or larger (excluding
cover, figures, and references). More details may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix to be read at the discretion of the program
committee. A submission for brief announcements should be no longer than three pages using at least 11-point font.
