Paper Submission Guidelines:

Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 10 pages of single column, including tables and figures. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to register, attend the conference, and present the paper. Submissions to PDCAT'07 are conducted only electronically. Authors will need to select an appropriate topic code when submitting their manuscripts. For example, if author Ray submits a paper in the topic of Interconnection networks, the topic code should be 1-01. If you cannot find a suitable topic for your paper, please use the subject code 0-00. The conference proceedings of PDCAT'07 will be published in English by IEEE Computer Society (cited by EI) and extended versions of some selected papers are to be published in a special issue of International Journal High Performance Computing and Networking. PDCAT'07 will include a Student Poster Session featuring posters that present recent and on-going research by students in parallel and distributed computing, applications and technologies.
