Dear TCPP member,
Welcome to the first newsletter this Fall! I am honored to have received
your enthusiastic support for my next term. We need dedicated volunteers
and new resources as we expand our current work and pursue new initiatives for
the parallel processing community worldwide. Let me know (sprasad at gsu.edu) if
you are able to volunteer or support TCPP awards and education/research
activities in your part of the world either with sponsorship or with in-kind
resources for the community (publications, hardware, software, high-end
computer access, etc).
One key new initiative which has received wide support
from the community is Curriculum Standards for Parallel and Distributed
Computing. Given rapid churn in technology and mass availability of
multi-cores and GPGPU's, there is an urgent need for providing periodic
curricular guidance for introductory and other courses to educators and their
students. Other stake holders are authors, industry, researchers, sister
organizations, and, of course, the society at large.
TCPP is organizing an NSF-supported Planning Workshop on Curriculum Standards for Parallel and Distributed Computing to identify the needs, assess current state of practice, and propose roadmap in short and long term. TCPP invites all stake holders for their participation in this process. To begin with, educators worldwide are requested to provide information on the relevant courses that they teach at http://www.cs.gsu.edu/~tcpp/curriculum (undergraduate/graduate; introductory, advanced, and other related high performance and computational courses). Contact me with your input or if you want to be involved.
Here are the updates on the TCPP related conferences followed by CFPs, etc. Submit yours to tcpp-announce@cc.gatech.edu.
Regards,
Sushil K. Prasad

DS-RT-2009: 13th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on
Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications Techniques
October 25-28, 2009, Singapore
http://www.cs.unibo.it/ds-rt2009/
DS-RT
is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion and
presentation of original ideas, recent results and achievements by researchers,
students, and systems developers on issues and challenges related to
distributed simulation and real time applications. Authors are encouraged to
submit both theoretical and practical results of significance. Demonstration of
new tools/applications is very desirable.
ICPADS-2009: The Fifteenth International Conference on
Parallel and Distributed Systems
Dec. 9~11, Shenzhen, China
http://www.comp.polyu.edu.hk/conference/icpads09/
Following the previous successful events, ICPADS 2009 will be held in Shenzhen, China. Shenzhen is a beautiful coastal garden city in South China situated just across the border from Hong Kong. The conference provides an international forum for scientists, engineers, and users to exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and latest research results on all aspects of parallel and distributed systems. Papers accepted for ICPADS 2009 conference and workshops will be published by the IEEE Computer Society and distributed to the participants on USB drives only. All accepted papers will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by EI. Papers are solicited.
HiPC-09: 16th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing
December 16-19, 2009, Kochi (Cochin), India
The 16th annual IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2009) will be held in Cochin, India, during December 16-19, 2009. It will serve as a forum to present the current work by researchers from around the world, and act as a venue to provide stimulating discussions and highlight high performance computing (HPC) activities in Asia. The conference has a history of attracting participation from reputed researchers from all over the world. HiPC 2009 will focus on the design and analysis of high performance computing and networking systems and their scientific, engineering, and commercial applications.
