18th
International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
IPDPS 2004
Computational grids, with a collection of heterogeneous resources connected by heterogeneous networks, are being developed globally. Efficient partitioning of applications to exploit such grids is becoming an emerging area of research. Applications that can exploit this new type of platform range from parameter-space studies, Monte Carlo simulations, to graph-based applications and multi-physics coupled models. Currently, grid core middleware such as Globus does not provide a service for partitioning. On the other hand, existing partitioning tools may not be completely suitable for grids. Partitioning applications for computational grids is a very important activity for moving existing applications to grids.
Papers are invited on the following topics:
·
Partitioning Algorithms
o Graph
Partitioning
o Load
Balancing
·
Computational Grids
o Software

o Modeling
·
Experiences with Applications on High Performance
Computers (e.g. clusters, SMPs, etc.) and Grids
·

o Other Applications
We invite you to submit a
full paper of up to 12 single-spaced pages of text, using 12-point size type on
8.5x11 inch pages, for oral presentation. Submitted papers have to be original,
containing new results that were not previously published. The paper must
present an original work, not published elsewhere. Each paper will be refereed
by at least three independent reviewers. Paper submission indicates that the
work is original, has not been published in this form by any other venue and
the intention of the author to present the paper at the PACGrid-04 workshop at
IPDPS 2004. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as
proceedings of IPDPS 2004.
The submitted paper must be submitted electronically in either Postscript or
PDF format. The author should also submit a separate text file with information
relevant to the submission (such as the author's name, affiliation, contact
address, e-mail address, title of the submission, the name of the presenting
author and the theme of the submission).
Send your manuscript to Dr. Eric Aubanel (aubanel@unb.ca) by November 15, 2003. Authors will be notified by December 19, 2003.
