15th Heterogeneous Computing Workshop (HCW 2006) April 25, 2006 Rhodes Island, Greece in conjunction with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium CALL FOR PAPERS HARD Submission Deadline: October 18, 2005. The 15th Heterogeneous Computing Workshop (HCW 2006) will be held in Rhodes Island, Greece, on April 25, 2006, in conjunction with the International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS). HCW 2006 is sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research and by the IEEE Computer Society, through the Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. HCW 2006 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Heterogeneous computing systems are those with a range of diverse computing resources that can be local to one another or geographically distributed. The pervasive use of networks and the Internet by all segments of modern society means that the number of connected computing resources is growing tremendously. Hence, the opportunity and need for heterogeneous computing systems to effectively utilize these resources in new, novel ways is growing concomitantly. This has given rise, for instance, to the notions of cluster computing, grid computing, and peer-to-peer computing. The effective implementation of efficient applications in these environments, however, requires that a host of issues be addressed that simply do not occur in "single-chassis" sequential or parallel machines. Thus, the topics of interest concerning heterogeneous systems and environments include, but are not limited to: programming paradigms and tools, resource discovery and management, task and communication scheduling, task coordination and workflow, performance management, heterogeneous cluster computing, grid computing, peer-to-peer computing, adaptive computing, ubiquitous computing, mobile computing, real-time distributed systems, security, fault tolerance, and application case studies. The workshop plans to publish the proceedings through the IEEE Computer Society Press as part of the IPDPS CD-ROM. HCW 2006 - IMPORTANT DATES 18 October, 2005: Manuscript Submission Deadline (A hard deadline -- no extensions) 9 December, 2005: Acceptance Notification 21 January, 2006: Camera-Ready Copy Due 25 April, 2006: Workshop HCW 2006 - SUBMITTING PAPERS HCW 2006 invites authors to submit summaries of original and unpublished work in all areas of heterogeneous computing. All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Summaries should not exceed five (5) single-spaced pages of text using 12 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. References, figures, tables, etc.,may be included in addition to the five pages of text. The summary should include an abstract of approximately 100 words. Authors should submit a PostScript (level 2), PDF, or Word file that will print on a PostScript printer. We plan to use electronic submissions; email or hard copy submission will be accepted only if web submission is not possible, and only after prior arrangement with the Program Chair. Submission is a definite commitment for at least one of the authors to register and present the paper if it is accepted. NOTE: Manuscripts must be received by October 18, 2005, by 5 pm, US Eastern Daylight Time. This is a final deadline; to ensure fairness, no extensions will be given. ===================== HCW 2006 - COMMITTEES ===================== General Chair: Arnold L.
