19th ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures

San Diego, CA, USA
June 9 - 11, 2007


The 19th Annual ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA '07) is part of the 2007 Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC 2007), June 8-16, 2007.

SPAA '07 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.

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 '07 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.

This year, SPAA will have a best paper award for the first time. Eligible are all regular papers.



Expanded and Revitalized Scope:

In a tradition starting in 2001, SPAA defines "parallel" very broadly to encompass any computational system, or model, that can perform multiple operations or tasks simultaneously. As a consequence, contributed papers are sought in ALL areas of parallel algorithms and architectures and of related fields including (but not limited to) game theory and collaborative learning, social networks, the Internet and the World Wide Web, peer-to-peer and wireless systems, multi-threaded and multi-core architectures, and quantum and DNA computing.



Important Dates:
  • Submission Deadlines:
    - Regular papers: December 18
    - Brief announcements: January 8
    These are firm deadlines. No extensions will be granted.

  • Notification: February 11

  • Camera-ready copy due: March 22.

  • Early Conference Registration: May 11
