SPAA '00  

Fourteenth ACM Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures

August 11-13, 2002
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

The Fourteenth Annual ACM Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA '02) is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Groups on Algorithms and Computation Theory (SIGACT) and Computer Architecture (SIGARCH) and organized in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science.

SPAA '02 will feature contributed papers, each with a 25-minute talk, and SPAA revue papers, each with a 10-minute talk. The SPAA revue is for brief communications including work in progress or demos.

Expanded Scope
This year, in a tradition starting in 2001, SPAA defines "parallel" very broadly to encompass any computational "device" that can perform multiple operations or tasks simultaneously. As a consequence, SPAA 2002 covers all traditional parallel and distributed architectures, plus new aspects including satellite networks, the web, quantum and DNA computing, etc. For more information, see the call for papers below.

Online proceedings from previous SPAA conferences are accessible (membership needed for full text) by following the ACM digital library links from the ACM home page.

Local information
The conference will be held at Delta Winnipeg Hotel. Please make your hotel reservations soon as the block may not be held much longer. There's a lot to do in Winnipeg, including the Folklorama festival, going on during the conference. Here's some local information. If you would like help finding a roommate for the conference, please send email to caphill@sandia.gov indicating the dates of your stay, your gender, and your smoking preferences.
