UC Santa Barbara, California, July 17-19, 1995
The Seventh Annual
ACM
Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures
(SPAA'95) will be held at the
UC Santa Barbara campus, Santa Barbara, California on July 17-19, 1995.
SPAA'95 is collocated with the
ACM SIGPLAN Symposium
on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming
(PPoPP'95), which will be held July 19-21, 1995.
A discounted registration fee will be
offered to those attending both conferences.
SPAA'95 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups
for Algorithms and Computation Theory
(SIGACT)
and Computer Architecture
(SIGARCH)
and organized in cooperation with the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS).
CONTRIBUTED PAPERS: Contributed papers are sought that present original, fundamental advances in parallel algorithms and architectures, whether analytical or experimental, theoretical or practical. A major goal of SPAA is to foster communication and cooperation among the diverse communities involved in the practice and theory of parallel computing, including those involved in systems, languages, and applications. The Symposium especially encourages contributed papers that offer novel approaches to parallel computing, conceptual advances in parallel architectures, or algorithmic and application work that enhances or exploits architectural features of parallel systems. It is expected that every accepted paper will be presented. The symposium has no parallel sessions.
SUBMISSIONS: Authors are invited to send draft papers to:
The deadline for submissions is FEBRUARY 8, 1995. Simultaneous submission of the same research to SPAA and to another conference with proceedings is not allowed. Inquiries should be addressed to Ms. Kristen Kovacs (phone: 914-945-2944; fax: 914-945-4425; e-mail: c1kovacs@watson.ibm.com).FORMAT FOR SUBMISSIONS: Authors should submit 15 double-sided copies of their paper. The cover page should include (1) title, (2) authors and affiliation, (3) e-mail address of the contact author, and (4) a brief abstract describing the work. A technical exposition should follow on subsequent pages, and should include a comparison with previous work. The technical exposition should be directed toward a specialist, but it should include an introduction understandable to a nonspecialist, which describes the problem studied and the results achieved, focusing on the important ideas and their significance. The draft paper - excluding cover page, figures, and references - should not exceed 10 printed pages in 11-point type or larger. More details may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix which may be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Any paper deviating significantly from these guidelines - or which is not received by the February 8, 1995 deadline - risks rejection without consideration of its merits.
NOTIFICATION: Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by e-mail and a letter mailed on or before March 30, 1995. A final copy of each accepted paper, prepared according to ACM guidelines, must be received by the Program Chair by April 27, 1995.
