About HPDC-12

The Twelfth IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Distributed Computing will be a forum for presenting the latest research findings on the design and use of highly networked systems for computing, collaboration, data  analysis, and other innovative tasks.  Submissions are on all aspects of Grid and high performance distributed computing.  Case studies describing novel applications are also being presented.  A more complete list of topics is below.  HPDC-12 will be held in Seattle, Washington (USA) immediately preceding the 8th Global Grid Forum.  HPDC-12/GGF-8 will together provide a global meeting place for those interested in Grid computing technologies and applications.  A joint program of tutorials and keynote talks will highlight major themes and recent developments in the field.

 

The formal Call for Papers can be found at HPDC-12 Call for Papers.   PAPER SUBMISSION IS CLOSED. 

 
About Seattle

See the Global Grid Forum8 website for information about the location of the conference.  The Emerald City!  A city set in the midst of some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the USA, Seattle sits between the Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainer and its beautiful Pacific Waterfront.   Seattle Center  is dominated by the 605 feet high Space Needle where you can take an elevator to the top and appreciate the spectacular view of the city with its surrounding lakes and mountains.  A trip to the Pike Place Market overlooking the Puget Sound waterfront is worthy of a visit where it is renowned for vendors selling fresh seafood, vegetables and many excellent seafood restaurants.  So plan on enjoying the city during your stay.   For more information on Seattle please see Global Grid Forum Seattle Information.
