Ninth IEEE International Symposium on
Westin William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 1-4, 2000
The Ninth International Symposium on High Performance Distributed
Computing is a forum for presenting the latest research findings
on the use of networked systems for high-performance computing.
Submissions are encouraged on all aspects of high performance
distributed computing, including hardware technologies, network
protocols, the middleware that ties distributed resources together
into "computational grids," and tools and languages that support
application development. Papers discussing applications, distributed
collaborative virtual reality, and non-scientific workloads such as
Web servers or indexing engines are also encouraged.
Two other meetings will be co-located with HPDC 2000. The
4th Globus Retreat
will be held on Monday and Tuesday and an
Active
Middleware Services workshop will be held on Tuesday.
Topics of interest include (but not limited to):
- Software environments and language support for high performance
distributed computing
- Applications and case studies of high performance distributed
computing
- Parallel and distributed algorithms to solve computationally
intensive problems in networked environments
- Tools for remote collaboration, distributed multimedia, and
tele-immersion
- Management of very large distributed datasets
- High performance I/O and file systems
- Security, configuration, and management issues
- Fault tolerance strategies for heterogeneous distributed
platforms
- Application, job, and resource scheduling strategies for meta
computing
- Quality of service, resource reservation protocols and strategies
- Middleware and network support for network-aware applications
- Application experience with network and system quality of service
- Gigabit network architectures and protocols
- Cluster technologies for scientific and non-scientific workloads
The programs for the preceding years,
HPDC-5,
HPDC-6
HPDC-7, and
HPDC-8, are accessible online.
