The 17th Annual ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA '05) 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. This year, the conference is co-located with the ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing (PODC). For detailed information about SPAA, please visit http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~spaa.

The SPAA Symposium was called the ACM Symposium on Parallel Algorithms and Architectures from 1989 to 2002. The new name reflects the expanded scope of the conference as detailed below.

SPAA '05 will feature regular papers, each with a 25-minute talk, and brief announcements, each with a 10-minute talk. The SPAA brief announcements are for brief communications including work in progress or demos.

Expanded Scope:

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 2005 covers all aspects of parallelism. This includes traditional parallel and distributed algorithms and architectures, plus new aspects including the internet, the web, peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, quantum and DNA computing, etc. For more information, see the call for papers.
